Guild Wars 2

As a Sylvari necro, I rarely use my elites. I just don’t find much utility in them. If I could create one myself, here is one I would love:

Ravenous Thirst
Give in to your insatiable thirst for blood granting yourself stability (3.5 sec), your next 5 attacks do half their normal damage but steal life equal to the damage they do.

Cast Time: 3/4 sec
Recharge: 60 sec

That’s mine, what’s your fantasy Necro elite skill?

Here’s another one:

Well Lord
Your next 3 Wells pulse 50% longer and recharge 25% faster

Cast Time: 1 sec
Recharge: 180 sec

And one last one, this one is totally legit…

Reanimator
For the next 24 hours, your reanimator trait is adjusted so that you summon 5 gingerbread quaggan minions who cheer you on. Gingerbread quaggans last for 1.5 seconds and grant happiness on death, leaving your necro shrowded in a rainbow for 23 hrs, 59 minutes and 58.5 seconds.

Cast Time: 0 sec
Recharge Time: 23 hrs, 59 minutes and 58.5 seconds.

real necro

all minion special skills have a 1 second cool down, minions cool down is reset to 0, this lasts for 5 seconds.

Spiteful Spirit in GW1-version <3

Gains the buff ‘Minion Master’

You pets now actually attack.

-“Summon Flesh Turkey” instead of “Summon Flesh Golem”

I see a lot of SS love, here is a nostalgic one for those folks:

Spiteful Spirit
Curse your target, giving them 10 stacks of confusion (6s) and 10 stacks of weakness (6s). Spiteful Spirit is replaced by Spiteful Wrath. Spiteful Wrath: on use spread 10 stacks of confusion and weakness to target’s nearby allies renewing their duration.

Cast time (SS): 2 sec
Cast time (SW): 1/4 sec

Recharge: 45 sec

Well of Stability
stupid name but thats exactly what it should do:
Grants 10 seconds stability to your allies and does some other fancy stuff (damage to enemies, protection to allies, something like that).
Is affected by all well-traits, of course. Should have an AoE as big as elemantalists Healing rain (radius 360).

On a second thought, a spectral elite that grants stability to allies might be better since there are already very good wells in the game.

Well Of Debility

all enemies in this well will attack their allies, wont ress their downed mates etc etc…

Necromancer

Spawn Satan himself to destroy the whole world.

cast time : 3s
recharge: doesn’t matter everyone is dead

Signet of Vampiric lust
Passive: Increase healing by 180 and life siphoning effectiveness by 10%
Active: Increase life siphoning effectiveness 100%

Casting .0001 sec
Recharge: 200 sec

Awaken the Blood
For 10 seconds, all your your skills cast instantly and recharges 75% faster. However each time you use a skill, you suffer from 5 stacks of bleeding for 10 seconds.

Casting: 1 sec
Recharge 180 sec

Grand Sacrifice
For 3 seconds, if you are downed, you deal a flat 10,000 damage to nearby foes.

Casting: 0 sec
Recharge: 60 seec

Minion Burst
Destroy all your minions and deals 1,000 damage to foes nearby those minions. For each minion destroyed, you gain 5 stacks of might for 10 seconds.

Cast: 0 sec
Recharge: 180 sec

Pixels, I feel the same way. I’m a Sylvari Condition Necro.
1. Plague: Synergises most with the condition spec, but is situational and involves being in the frontline. I do my work best unnoticed so it’s not that ideal.
2. Lich: Totally doesnt work well with a condition Necro.
3. Summon Seed Turrets: Useful for the 3s invulnerability. I use them during defence situations, sometimes in small duels, but the CD is too long for the 30s recharge.
4. Flesh Golem: Knockdown is nice, shortest CD of all elites, but he drowns and aggros too much/dies too easily.

My simple suggestion would have to be: Let us put a utility instead in the elite slot.

Plauge Beacon
Target gains random debuff on attack or skill use.

Cast: 0.5
Duration: 10 sec
Recharge: 180 sec

didn’t we do this thread already?

c’mon Necros, let’s step it up! look what kind of fun they’re havin in the engi forums!!!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Famous-Quotes-for-the-Engineer/first#post1165711

I have two suggestions:

1. Order of Undeath: (Passive) Summoned minions will have increased vitality and damage. Active: Sacrificed Minions (x3) Animate two Flesh golems which increase in health and damage according to minions sacrificed.

2. Wither: 15 sec(60CD)(AOE) All enemies standing in area are inflicted with bleeding and are damaged over time. Inflicts vulnerability on caster; If Necro stands in AOE he gets 5 sec regen.

Summon Flesh Golem
Minon. Summon a flesh golem to attack foes with crippling claws.

Damage: 770
Cripple (1 sec): -50% Movement Speed
Cast: 1.5 seconds
Cooldown: 60 seconds

Unique feature to this elite, will be the only minion that engages foes properly.
Oh how we can dream…

First thing I would do is modify Lich and Plague a bit and make them F2 + F3, sharing the same Life Pool as DS. Gives our class ability some variance and strategic choice, and we could have some elites that are … elite.

I really like the idea of a VERY effective life drain as an elite option.

Aura of the Lich for about 60 seconds , your damage is increased by 10 & and you summon 10 flesh golems that degenerate their health and can last for 120 seconds . when one of your flesh golem’s kill something , another golem is spawned .

casting time 3 seconds
recast 400 seconds

I think y’all are crazy. I roflstomp the kitten out of everything infront of me with lich form. doesn’t get more elite then that.

Black Death
For 5 seconds, whenever target gets healed he takes that as damage instead. And when target’s conditions gets removed, those conditions lasts twice as long as before instead.

Cast time: 1s
Recharge: 60s

“Godmode”:

You get an additional 2748 toughness and 1832 vitality and with a simple mouseclick clan perma poison-blind-chill anybody in a 360 radius.

Man, i’d feel like Thor himself using this one….

Ritual of Utility
Let’s you fit another Utility skill instead of an “Elite” skill.

Vampiric Gaze – 5 seconds siphon health from enemies within your line of sight. (in front of you) Range 600.

Aura of the Lich – Sacrifices all of your minions and to summon 6 bone horrors, summon an additional minion for each sacrificed. All minions within a radius of 900, have a boost in power and toughness.

I would gladly trade Lich Form for a siphon signet.

Passive – increase all siphons by 50%.
Active: – increase all incoming healing by 50% for 10s.

Siphon signet would be nice, but I wouldn’t trade lich for it, just combine lich and plague.

Well of Undeath

Damage 10x 2000

Duration 10 seconds

Foes who die within this well spawn a bone minion, Elite or boss foes spawn a flesh golem (without charge ability)

Retaliation 5s

pulse 1s

Here’s one for the condition necros that will probably never happen as it would require a new condition, but I would love to have this one:

Persistence of Pain
Channel the essence of death toward your target making them Incurable for 5s, all existing conditions cannot be removed from target and target cannot gain new conditions or boons while incurable.

When Persistence of Pain ends, you are weakened for 5s

Cast Time: 3s
Recharge: 180s

Incurable scales in duration

Pixels you could just make that a curse, and or extend all existing conditions on target for by 10-20 seconds

Rip Conditions
Remove all conditions from the target, dealing damage per stack removed.
cast: 3/4 second
recharge: 120 seconds

There is some good burst potential.

Lurock Turoth.9085:

curse sounds way better than incurable… :o)

Necros had them all over the place in GW1, why not in gw2.

Drarnor, its seems like the scepter already has something like that.

“Embrace the incompetence”

For every 3 uplevelled nubs you gank at a WvW jumping puzzle, automatically post to the forums about how the necromancer isn’t broken.

Lurock Turoth.9085:

Drarnor, its seems like the scepter already has something like that.

Somewhat similar, but not quite. That still only counts each unique condition while this counts each stack.

Grave Truth

15 second duration boon
Changes Profession to Warlock
Removes Minion Traits and replace with pictures of Kittens
Adds permanent Maniacal Nerd Laugh as personal sound track to your Real Life.

Sight of Pain

Target is blinded for 5 seconds. If target losses the blindness during this time, he takes 5,000 damage.

Cast time: 1s
Recharge: 120s

Keep Summon: Flesh Golem, but make him generate an aura that gives himself and all other active minions in-combat regeneration like turrets and ranger pets can get, and huge AoE damage reduction. Ahhh its nice to dream…

A nice dream, but don’t forget to fly high, no need to fly low with the actual situation..

They would attack the enemy you targeted. If you have all the other minions equipped on your skillbar you have quite a army. And with bone minions i mean the ones from Guild Wars 1, the bone horror’s. They are much stronger.

If a portal is destroyed the rider turns into a enemy to everyone and with aggro started on the necromancer (17k hp 3k armor 243 damage pre attack). Riders last 30 seconds.

OP kitten op, funny and “What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic?”

On a serious note i would like a adapted version of Spiteful Spirit or Grenth’s Balance.

Fear . when used it last for about 10 seconds .

Ritual of Awakening

Gain 10 stacks of bleeding. Revive all nearby allies.

Grenth’s Balance

For at least a few seconds, Necromancers are balanced with other classes and equally useful.
