I’m guessing in about 1 to 1.5 months their will be a balance patch making now the ideal time to suggest trait changes for the profession. This is a list of a few changes that I think would open up a lot of new builds.
1: Weakening Shroud (also dagger 5):
I think this trait as well as offhand dagger would see more use if it gave 3% lf per target hit.
2: Terror:
Move to adept tier, swap with Plague Sending.
3: Unholy Martyr:
First swap it with Corrupter’s Fervor. Then change it to make shroud skill 5 convert conditions into boons on allies.
4: Soul Comprehension (god of poop tier traits):
Change to make shroud skill 3 grant 4 seconds of protection.
5: Life From Death:
Make it remove 1 condition from nearby allies as well (this puts it on par with Restorative Illusions)
This would go a long way to fixing curses and buffing our support builds. We could now get better condi damage and sustain from curses, and better allied condi removal. These hold back a lot of our builds in my opinion.
Necros don’t have reflects, invulns, vigor, blocks,
extra dodges, real stability, mobility skills,
burst skills, sustain, or good support. GG ANET.
