Guild Wars 2

Simply enough, this would cause the community as a whole to get salty about necro special treatment. If we were able to use skills while stunned then everyone should be. Remember were not the only ones being used as a punching bag, it can happen to anyone regardless of class.

Then what we need is some access to vigor, or regen in shroud or invuln or evades or blocks and more stability. That’s all.

Well Anet keeps saying Deathshroud is supposed to make up for what we don’t have like other professions and were supposed to be an attrition class with Deathshroud. We got like no vigor access. No reliable stability access. No blocks or stealth. Crap access to protection. How do you attrition against other professions with deathshroud? Terror necro uses fear in order to win anything. Its the only reason they are even viable outside of boons ripping. They only use deathshroud for extra fear and conditions. So obviously deathshroud isn’t as important to them as it is for power necros.

I don’t see this so called attrition or how deathshroud really makes up for what were missing except for taking a little extra hits. We can’t even receive heals from our own traits in deathshroud other than unholy sanctuary which is a joke. If I wanted heals the size of a regeneration boon I wouldn’t even bother wasting trait points that require a grandmaster trait that only heals that small.

If you ask me unstoppable casting for deathshroud would help power necros actually fight. Since we have to trait so hard towards deathshroud to even do anything outside of wells and minion mancers. Obviously they want power necros to be close quarters since, our only reliable power weapons are dagger and maybe axe which is still underwhelming compared to other professions power weapons. Life blast requires you to be in 600 range to do reliable burst damage. What is the point of building up all that life force and forced to trait so hard for it. To even be decent. If you have to be close quarters and have like, one or two players able to just shut you down completely during your deathshrouds duration. When deathshroud is like 50% of your build. Without any vigor, stun breakers, blocks, and whatever else I am missing.

Like I stated in the post above its not like deathshroud has no counterplay it can still be outplayed. Just not by stunning till kingdom come if unstoppable casting was implemented.

and in practice that’s not how it is at all. sometimes i’d rather have leaps than my deathshroud skills. kind of irritated that ele’s got the whole mist form thing.
