Guild Wars 2

From rdy up yesterday Warriors Adrenaline is lost if they miss there F1 and also seems they loose it after getting out of Combat, decay.

Is this something we can expect as necros regarding Life Force aswell in the comming patch ? If so its really really bad, getting jumped a Thief then is gonna be brutal, as a Power necro I never leve my LF-Bar empty between fights. Getting worried

No i dont think so.

Adrenaline always decayed out of combat if i remember correctly. Now it will be faster.

yea hope your right, a Nerf to Power necs isnt what we need now.

On a positive note, Thieves got cleeve on D AA so heres hopeing we get cleeve

I am not really optimistic about cleave as Devs at some point told that the lack of sustained power damage is the “weakness” of necromancers. I expect however some sort of means for us to get life force out of combat other than reslotting minions.

more concerned with all those rapid fire skills, and necromancer "after"cast times considering necromancer already has to eat most damage. now we shall have to eat that damage faster without a counter. (retaliation is useless) Yet it is the one boon that can offer the necromancer some counter to instant casting, quick gameplay, spikes.

I think they give us a cleave on Axe AA now tbh, its our weakest weapon & Nec is one of those classes most ppl think should get attention. (Ranger ofc topping)

If there is a OOC Life Force loss then Power Necro is no more ,not counting the mindless Zerg Wellomancer

Adding cleave or cone to axe 1 would not help much since axe 2 (the primary beneficiary of axe 1) is still single-target. I’d rather see a small LF gain added to axe1.

And yea – OOC LF loss would be horrendous.

It was sustained AoE power damage, which we are still quite awful at. Sustained power damage however is absolutely necessary to be anything close to attrition.

There won’t be OOC LF loss. The reason for this change was that adrenaline is specifically supposed to be built in each fight. It already had decay, but only after 30 seconds of being out of combat, which is much longer than it took for a warrior to win a fight then go to another node, but with full adrenaline. It just shortened the time to make it do what was intended.

They are different mechanics. But adrenaline for warriors is filled after just a few attacks and fills up with almost any move. It comes as an afterthought. We have limited ways to fill up life force.

I can’t imagine them letting LF decay. Shhh don’t mention such things.

Good points about the sustainability of the power necro though. It’s definitely a pain.

I don’t think LF decay would make sense like adrenaline decay does.

Imagine yourself as a brutal, burly warrior in a fight letting all that adrenaline (a stress hormone from the adrenal glands) build up as you fight and bash faces. When you leave combat, naturally your body and mind calms down as those hormones disappear and aren’t released any more.

With necromancers the life force is stored and is a mystical, otherworldy resource. I can’t think of a reseason that it would decay like a physiological mechanism would.

Adrenaline decays already, LF does not, the change simply lowered the amount of time before adrenaline starts decaying.

Adrenaline could also be bugged so it never decayed outside of combat. If they make DS decay then they need to buff the hell out of lifeforce generation on every single skill and add a skill which fills DS on cast.

So it wont happen. Dont worry about it. It only changed on warriors because they could spam burst skills and maintain adren way too easily.
