Guild Wars 2

Welcome to the most fiery forum battle ever.

No one of us (necros) understand why, and no one of them (devs) steps in front to explain why, of God, why?

So… just relax and enjoy. And remember that each time someone tells us that necro is a crappy class, they are also saying that we are hardcore players, just for using it.

it’s not only that, but in addition you cannot use skills after DS ends for a short time.

and also spectral skills had internal cd added.

combine all those despite of DS hp buff which is sort of irrelevant to sitation where these have most effect…

It was probably nerfed because the DS bugfix essentially doubled the old Life Force pool what it comes to direct damage.
When it’s combined with the new Spectral Armor it’s actually really strong in some situations.

It would probably be a bad idea to buff DS too much while the Terror build is so strong.
…and I think that’s why the nerf.

I don’t really see any other logical explanation for it.
Anet will probably work more on DS in later patches.
As it’s right now it’s way too situational.

If Anet didn’t like the fall damage part they would have also made Spectral Walk not bypass fall damage and possibly tweaked revive orbs… but they didn’t.
