Guild Wars 2

so that we can all reroll our specific races to Human, because their racial heal and the elite Reaper of Grenth are better skills than what we now have? TY.

i just made a human necro, used one of the 10.000 lv 20 scrolls and 60 tomes.

Just wait. They’ll remove them because they make Necromancer borderline viable

can’t use them in PvP either, can you?

I would raise my lvl 46 human Necro with scrolls, but all my map completion and stuff is on my Sylvari >.<

Nope.

Can I get a change-profession item?

Haha Bhawb, if I was an anet dev and saw you upset and these changes, i would feel terrible as you’re one of the few voices of reason here

I feel awful for the person who did these changes honestly. They did an amazing job in almost every single way, and then someone actually thought the corruption changes were a good idea. If you could remove that from the changes, I’d be super happy, but alas.

If there is one thing consistent about Necromancer, it is how it likes to creep up slowly on being viable and get nerfed quickly if it ever becomes so.

Crossing my fingers on how that actual balance comes out but expecting all professions to be patch-balanced within two months.

Lol instead of creeping up slowly and getting nerfed, they just speed nerfed us into suicide and then buggered our corpses, With corruption mastery, and then stuck a red hot poker where the sun don’t shine in the name of consuming conditions

I think nostalgia is blinding them when it comes to balance.

They are about to share the experience with consume conditions.

LOL look at this guy online right now. ITS TERRIBLE LOL!

link? The blog post is showing nothing.

Its here

He showed the suicide potential with corruption. It was very real. ~_~

Nostalgia? What are you talking about? if they were nostalgic the Master of corruption trait would cause AOE damage when you used a corruption. Consume conditions would eat conditions form nearby allies as well with no drawback. Minions would be highly spammable. The necromancer would have AoE confusion. They wouldn’t have a shred of burning on them at all. Life stealing wouldn’t be split and would scale exclusively with one stat and its numbers would be much higher. When we suffered a new condition we would have a trait to make everyone else suffer along with us. We’d have skills to sacrifice health with major benefit to us without actually killing us for no reason.

There is Very little nostalgia in the necromancer design. And the Profession that it was inspired by is nothing like this. The GW1 necromancer was legendary. The GW2 necromancer? The GW2 necromancer is basically Dan from Street Fighter.

Sylvari’s Vern Hound and Take Root are great skills too!
