Hi,

I apologize if this has been posted before but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. I was never in any of the betas, however before the game came out I remember hearing/reading that the necromancer had the ability to turn into the death shroud upon getting downed, as apposed to a downed state. Right now I am level 54 and this has never happened to me once.

If you look at this video at around 1:42 you see that he turns into the shroud after his life is taken. I know that video is before release, so did they remove the ability to do this?

Thanks

I’ve been playing necro since 1st beta weekend and have never heard this to be the case. If you watch the numbers on his health (which I know is hard because of the quality of the recording) he actually appears to pop death shroud at around 100 and something health, not once it’s all gone. So in answer, no there has never (to my knowledge) been the option to pop death shroud instead of downed state. Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. However in the video, you notice that it says “Fight to survive” in the green bar, instead of it being just blank like normal.

Also someone here says that happens aswell, is he mistaken?

Originally, when ANet revealed the profession back in 2010, the necromancer didn’t have a downed state, but instead went to death shroud when his health went to zero. This was changed later.

That was the downed mechanic of the Necromancer befor he got dumbed down completely.

If I recall correctly, there are (or were) two versions of Death Shroud. One, is that you activate whenever you feel like it and the other auto-activates upon getting downed, assuming you have enough life-force left to engage Death Shroud, else you just fall into the usual downed state.
