Holl.3109:

It’s not gonna be shouts… RIP this thread
the new picture is definitely implying shouts

Victory!

Anchoku.8142:

Banshee is a female fairy, anyway. That specialization would require a total makeover for some.

With a GS and against plant monsters, how about Vegan. Sorry Sylvari

Our minor Gluttony will be renamed to Gluten-free.

Shouting necro… Im thinking no. Why? It might be group friendly.

Ok thats out of the way.

Possible names, since shouts are generally buffs I think of them as commands (as opposed to weapon ala banshee) so leader type class names

Witch King/Queen
Dread Lord
Spirit master

and of course..
Dragon Yeller

Bhawb.7408:

Venoms are essentially self-applied Orders, which is why we are hoping Orders would be classified as shouts, to make them AoE by default. Also a good way to get easy condi removal.

Venoms could easily be party-wide by default for Necromancers. There is no need for them to be single target. For Orders becomming Shouts ANet would have to introduce unique effects since Shouts so far usually just apply conditions or boons. Venoms already represent a mechanic which works with unique stacked buffs although also linked to conditions.

I’d actually prefer Necromancers getting Venoms mechanic-wise since there is a higher likelihood that they are unique and not replacable by other classes with generic group support.

Shout necro? Can’t wait to press 4 identical use, instant, effortless buttons within the span of 5-10 seconds and then wait 20-60 seconds to do it all over again. inb4 we get a Cacophony that’s just an instant PBAoE Mantra of Pain spike which also bleeds and a Vocal Minority that inflicts weakness in the same way. Truly innovative.

Thread perversion time!

Name and describe 3 – 4 shouts for Necromancer! I will even start.

Complain – 180 radius AoE Fear and Torment on up to five enemies. Duration scales inversely to distance from the caster up to 3 seconds for Fear and 6 seconds for Torment.

Res Me! – 240 radius 10 sec AoE Taunt on up to five allies. Also works on pets, spirits, clones, turrets, elementals, banners, traps, and minions by destroying them for health instead of life force.

Margarita Mixer! – Necromancer and two allies automatically execute a whirl attack toward their individual targets. Any other attacks in progress when the shout executes are cancelled.

I Herd That! – summons three ghostly Harathi Tramplers charging in the direction the Necromancer is facing for 600 before disappearing back into the mists.

/serious (kinda) time

Rending shriek : Damage foes and cause bleeding; Also empower allies weapons to add bleeding and cripple to the next x attacks.

Call of the grave : Summon 4-6 jagged horrors; The summoned force also grants your allies protection.

Scream of the Abyss : Channel a scream that damages and chills enemies, granting chill and poison to your allies attacks for the duration of the channel.

Terrifying Howl : Sends foes running in Fear; Grants might to your allies.

Gotta keep the Banshee theme in the Banshee am I right?
