Guild Wars 2

The design team overlooked something vitally important in EOTM… ambient creatures to kill so necromancers can build up their death shroud.

This is especially important when a necromancer dies and their death shroud is completely depleted. There is nothing to build it up with until you get into the middle of a pitched battle.

So give us some ambient creatures in the spawn area so we don’t go in to battle handicapped.

And, it’s harder to get stacks now. I don’t even run my bloodlust weapon when in EotM.
It’s great for my mesmer, though. When I dodge and it spawns a clone, the clone attacks an enemy, not a deer.

And for dailies!

Ill say it once and ill say it again.

Warrior or GTF… im just kidding :P

Now that i think of it, i didnt see any little critters around!

yay thieves cant get a free escape w/ cnd
yay eles dont have extra targets to help them run away w/ rtl
yay guardians cant use gap closer blinks as escapes
yay autotargeting doesnt select targets i dont want when someone spams stealth

so many good things when theres no creaturez around!

I’ve been asking for this in sPvP since release.

none of which applies to ambient creatures in spawn.

+1
Please give us ambients, cuz.

I want trash mobs in EotM as well. I like grinding mobs in between fights…and killing other players farming npcs.

Trash mobs never belonged in WvW. The idea that you could get “stacks” without actually fighting anyone I don’t think was how the skills were balanced.

I’m all for removing them in WvW too.

I like that there are no creatures cluttering up the place, wish theyd remove them from WvW aswell.

If a class has a problem with his class mechanic the solution should never be “just throw down more creature clutter”.

You shall earn stacks,In battle.
You shall build up your shroud,In battle.
You shall not get up from downed state by hitting mobs.

Toggling Auto-target to off also stops you from randomly targetting.
Just a heads up doe.

So true, get it all from battle.

if you need quick life force then just summon your minions and kill them off by switching the skill while they are running around…this should at least help you and fellow necromancers around you a bit

when faced with the choice to push 1 to target or to push tab/click and then push 1 anyways, in most cases autotarget is better. especially cuz i play a class whos gap closer escape doesnt point you in your targets direction. i end up turning off autotarget when i play war/guard/ele. thanks for the advice tho. im sure itll help someone else!

End of story—

You cannot earn stacks from ambients.
You cannot rally by killing ambients.
I only want ambients in the spawn areas.

Cool story bro—

Just a little tip for fellow Necromancers – when you run, animate some shadow fiends/bone fiends etc. and once you raise them, swap utility to regular one. You’ll get 10% LF for each one and it won’t put your regular utility on cd unless you use minion active.

And agree with thread

good to know, thanks for the tip
