I didn’t want to suggest a new Elite but rather a replacement of one. I feel Flesh Golem is very underwhelming for an Elite… The dumb thing can’t even swim!

I’d suggest that they simply demote it to a normal pet option. One problem we have with conditions is the stacking intensity limit, here is a possible solution… To a degree.


Elite
Signet of the Cursed

120 Sec CD

Mark of the Cursed
Activation 1
Increases condition stacks of your Bleeding and Torment by 5.
Damage builds for 5 seconds.
Mark lasts for 20 seconds on foe.
While Marked; Allies receive 5% damage increase against foe.

Reaping of the Cursed
Activate 2
Detonate Mark deal X% stored damage.
Surrounding foes of Marked receive 3 (Stacks) Bleeding and 3 (Stacks) Torment.
If Marked foe does not die apply 5 Bleed and 5 Torment.
____________________________
NOTES
Mark of the Cursed cannot be cleansed.
Signet Mastery lowers CD.

The Necro’s conditions are prioritized for this Mark so if the Necro is Condi specced then the Signet deals more damage.

In PVE it could be used as burst for the Necro with the queued conditions plus applying an additional 5% damage bonus stacking obviously with player traits/runes and vulnerability.

In PvP/WvW players would have to decide whether they stay near their allies and risk infecting them/dying during the Reaping or removing themselves from the group.

The Necro would need to manage their CC in PvP/WvW to ensure that they get the Reaping off, if not then they could potentially lose out on the burst.

The first five stacks of Bleeding and Torment from the Necro after Signet of the Cursed was cast will be dumped into the Mark.

-1000/10 idea. Removing Flesh Golem as an elite is a horrible idea. If you want new elites, simply add new elites, there is absolutely no reason to replace an amazing elite.

Necro elites are probably the best elites in game.

First, FG is way too powerful for a non-elite minion.

Second, a signet, really? How did that vampire one work out? Also, do not count on signet mastery reducing CD on an elite skill. What makes you think a new elite will have less than a 3 min CD?

What you suggest seems OP.

I like our current elites so i dont want them gone…

Well ok, maybe some changes to fleshgolem would be nice. For example the ability to swim and maybe an other skin since i dont like the current one that much.
