Guild Wars 2

This is my PERSONAL opinion about this patch.

Most time i play wvsw with MM necro so here we go:

-minions now atack in most times- but i remember they fix this some x patches ago,

-about pve -minions get more hp but this do noting to most chap/world bosses (they die almost thesame),

-about vampiric changes- noting mutch changet here (i dont remember for 100% but before there was minions heal about 106hp/ hit now little nerfed about 90),

-blood fiend- great hp nerf- he die like before the path they have ben buffed (looks like hp decrase), so he get back to crapy crap heal,

-about LIVE FORCE poll- for 100% sure it get decrased (its about speed they empty and dps absorb) it looks like before it was 100% of hp now 60%.

So in my PERSONAL opinion MM in wvsw is muth more crap than before,
So for now…
Changing to Mesmer
GL have fun

Indeed, a moment ago I went WvW, and Flesh Golem was diyng at the same rate it was before patch, so I don’t know for sure if this change affect WvW as well…

Minions Hp only incrase in pve, not pvp or wvsw.

-about pve -minions get more hp but this do noting to most chap/world bosses (they die almost thesame),

False! Minions can face OP Champs/World Bosses (the corn thing in the labyrinth or the super-strong-AoE Fire Elemental) without problems.
Yes, they still die but if my Necro with full Soldier Gear (exotic quality with Crest of the Soldier in every piece) can be downed with one hit, then is just normal my minions die sometimes.

-about vampiric changes- noting mutch changet here (i dont remember for 100% but before there was minions heal about 106hp/ hit now little nerfed about 90),

Vampiric change are a joke (an insult even) but the change to “Vampiric Master” was awesome (maybe they heal less but the dmg is brutal).

-blood fiend- great hp nerf- he die like before the path they have ben buffed (looks like hp decrase), so he get back to crapy crap heal,

Really? Since the AI was fixed, this thing is the last one to die so I can tell if this is true or no (it only die when I need healing or when facing a strong enemy with massive AoE).

Anyway, have fun with your Mesmer

KlausKNT.9302:

Minions Hp only incrase in pve, not pvp or wvsw.

This requires testing… Usually, PvE and WvW share the same rules

Anyhow, yea, you’re right, the patch was nice but didn’t do much at all…
I was really looking forward for a viable Vampiric build, though they simply did nothing >.>"
Still, Necro has lots of different ways to play and he’s fun as hell. don’t think I’d roll another class just because of the patch

I dont roll another class – my main will always be Necro.
But i have other classes to (alts): full geared mesmer, warior, ele, thief for play wvsw.
And mesmer give me option on use minions and have great atack/survive ability (minions give me muth fun and mesmer can summon npc to : )
Tested Warior -it give now awesome heal on group so its muth beter on suport.
Developers whone make minions be viable in wvsw- in my opinion they fail to do this in this patch, and its DEVELOPERS (Anet) work to make all classes viable to play in pve/wvsw/pvp, and i just change “the most played class” (necro) for some playable now until they “fix they patches” like they do it before

Power build staff/wells in wvw is just one thing… Pressing “F” button for “pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, …” ofc dmg is brutal and effective.

Yes power build is nice in wvsw group fight.
But now they changed aoe target ruling, so it will be less efective than before (next buf for zergs :P )

still works like a charm ^^
