Guild Wars 2

Something needs to be done about this. i love necro its my favorite class but seriously all the corruption skills only work 50% of the time (if that much) in sPvP. the skills im referring to are blood is power, corrupt boon etc.. they hardly ever work and they always seem to fail at the most critical times in a tough fight when you need them most…plz fix these skills so they work 100% its not fair. thanks for your time.

On a side note please make the jagged horrors useful cause as it stands there completely useless. I suggest moving the trait to the 25 point minor trait slot and returning them to the way they used to be where you could have multiple spawned at the same time.
By moving them to the 25th slot it makes people have to invest the points for those that want to be heavy summoners and prevents people from getting huge bang for the buck by only spending 5 points in the line and getting an army of them.

A lot of the times it’s probably because they are dodged/blocked or you’re blinded. But yes corrupt boon and BiP do sometimes miss, nowhere near 50%….

People have been asking for a fix since release, so this thread isn’t exactly going to make a difference, try using the search function, or even checking the stickied thread dedicated to necro bugs.

i stopped using corrupt boon, bip, etc because of how often it doesn’t work. chalk up just several more issues that need fixing with this class.

That ability stops working in the very moment you need it.
Did that guardian just pop Save Yourselves? Corrupt Boon will miss, 100% of the time.

On a serious note, I hope they fix these bazillion bugs about necros as soon as possible.

Now that I think of it, I’m pretty sure the Dagger #4 skill doesn’t work all the time either… Was running some tests for a new build tonight, and noticed that sometimes that skill would transfer just 1 condition instead of “up to three”.

Is it me or can anyone else confirm?

Dagger #4, if I recall correctly, will copy 3 of your conditions to your target, but will sometimes only remove one from you.

I always thought Dagger 4’s tooltip wording was simply incorrect, and the intention was the projectile bounces between enemies, transferring one condition to each enemy per bounce.

So say you have 3 enemies and you have Poison/Weakness/Crippled. Enemy 1 gets Poison, enemy 2 gets Weakness, enemy 3 gets Cripple.

It’s just an all-round very bizarre ability in terms of functionality and I’m glad I only use it to bounce an extra two stacks of bleed to a target from Blood Is Power or the Vulnerability from Epidemic.

If they haven’t changed it, then as far as i know corruptions are actually projectiles. It means you have to be very careful when using them.

1. Aegis block it
2. Dodge blocks it
3. Blind on yourself makes it miss
4. Minions/other people in the way blocks it
5. Reflections / protective barriers block it, gl landing it on guardian

So to land it you have to look that your not blinded or use an attack beforehand to remove the blind/aegis on him, see that no one would be in the way and close your eyes and hope he does not dodge roll. :>
