Guild Wars 2

(and now a mod changes my title and makes me look stupid by putting upcoming in it lol)

“Damage taken while in death shroud will now overflow to the necromancer’s health pool if the damage taken is greater than the remaining life force.”

So much for jumping off cliffs and high ledges and being able to survive the fall using DS. I loved that! I loved this temporary immunity. I utilized it to full effect while collecting those sky crystals, instead of being 1 shotted for every single glitch or misalignment (just there’s a lot of gratification when jumping from the top of the ship’s mast straight down to the ground all the way at the bottom level without dying). No more :*(

Anet, why? Why do you have to take all the fun things out of your game just because they’re not being used the way you intended them to? DS tanking wasn’t broken. It wasn’t unfair. It wasn’t cheap. It didn’t trivialize any of the content. It was just a cool fun thing that my class could do. A class that is horrifically short on cool fun things.

Other classes can teleport themselves and their party members, launch themselves across large gaps, go invisible, etc. All lots of cool fun niche mechanics, a lot of which are to this day abused in order to skip dungeon content or other things that are actively broken. The Necromancer? He could survive oneshot damage with the power of death. This did NOT break anything, it was just a fun perk of the class. If I was at the end of a fractals run and we were short on crystals, I could give up mine for another party member and just DS tank the final laser. If we were in wvw and needed to revive someone who was knocked off a cliff, I could take care of that. It added some niche utility to an otherwise very boring class. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS FROM ME.

I kinda agree with tobias, albeit with less dramatism it was a unnecessary change to something that wasn’t broken to begin with…

Tobias is an “actor”, he was “acting”.

I think they are slowly removing the necro from the game.
