Guild Wars 2

Dark Path should judge it’s range (i.e. out of range) on the current position of the Necromancer, not the initial casting position.

As it is currently, Dark Path will never hit anyone that is running away from you (if there is at least some distance between you and them when you cast it), even if you are pursuing that person and the distance between you is only 300 range. This is because the ‘out of range’ is judged compared to the initial casting position, and with the projectile being so slow, pretty much anyone will outrun the 1200 range before the projectile can catch up.

This change would help the intended class design wherein a necro has pretty much no escape mechanics, but is conversely hard to escape from (of which currently on the first part is true).

Would be a nice change, for sure. Of just improve the projectile speed so this isn’t as big of an issue, which seems like an easier fix.

Agreed.

Agreed. If we’re to be tough to get away from, people shouldn’t simply outrun our gap closer (that can’t be used for escape).

yup, even after buffing it it’s still just a projectile that fades away unless casted on a controlled target, iow to have it hit you need to cast a short rage immobilize to make it hit, countering the purpose of the skill. The profession you can’t get away from…hah..

+1. 15 arg i hate you

In wvw, I never use this skill. would like a change.

EDIT: for instance, press 2 if it hits, chills them. press 2 again teleport to them. or press 2 to throw projectile, then press 2 again and teleport to projectile and chill surrounding enemies. Necro WTB non-utility jump.

or they can just make it instant after the animation with no after cast. if you cant dodge during the animation then you deserve to be hit =\
