Guild Wars 2

When I am playing my necro I am level 80 and have all level 80 armor/weapons and level 75 jewelry and they are all outfitted with power, toughness, and healing specs. I seem like quite the tank normally, but when I enter lich form, yes I am powerful, but I feel squishier than ever. Does armor/weapon/jewelry stats not carry over into Lich Form?

test it out in the mists, from memory you keep your toughness plus an extra 1832 (@lvl 80) plus 2748 power and 1832 precission and 916 vitality.
I dont think weapon attack infulences the lich attacks.

How do you test toughness in an alternate form in the mists?

open up your hero screen and compare your stats in and out of transformation

I’m not sure but I thought both Lich Form and Plague were supposed to give 2x health and 2x toughness, however I felt extremely squishy in Lich. Its the reason I always use plague now. Its good for tanking – you get a ton of aggro and have high health and toughness, it can perma blind for the 20 second duration, its good solo for taking on HUGE groups if you accidentally pull a few too many, and its also good for escaping

Swapped since BWE for Lich to give precision/crit chance instead of toughness/armor. Also it only gives 1.5x hp not 2x like Plague.

So you turn into a 3 meter tall green neon ghost, and is granted extra crit…

You forgot the fact, without heal.
So, yep essencially a, please kill or moa me button in pvp~

if you are a power build ive seen the lich form crit for 4.5k-5k every hit lich form=power build golem=useless like the rest of our minions plague form=bunker/condition spec

Lich form is better if you aren’t the one up front taking the hits. Plague form is better if you are the one taking the hits.

I always seem to be the one taking the hits, so Plague form for me (even though I’m running power).

I did a test. In PVP mists it didn’t change my toughness when I went into Lich form, but when I use the Lich form in PvE, my toughness is reduced by about 100 at level 80. I still don’t see why toughness would get reduced when going into this form. Is this a bug?

Does your pve weapon have 100 toughness and your pvp weapon has none?

…sometimes the golem is where I want it and I can pull off a charge. Which buys my condition necro some needed seconds versus thieves and other burst classes.

However, minus the charge…well, let’s don’t talk about it.
