Good necro changes from the preview
See you next april.
This mad me laugh. Then I got sad because its kittening true. kitten you anet. kitten you.
Reviving and downing people in death shroud without abusing a bug is nice. But that should have been put in place over a year ago.
That’s a bug fix basically, not a new feature. I’m glad a lot of players recognize that.

The only thing we really got was cleave on daggers and sa now being used by more builds
S P E E D Starr #0 Necro NA or
I Am NeXeD awful d/D ele NA
I am hoping to find other uses besides resurrecting.
So, do the devs simply not care about making Signet of Vampirism even remotely useful or usable?

Please think for one second. Breathe in…. breathe out. Thank you.
“Our focus for necromancers in this balance update has been on improving their survivability through utilities and traits as well as improving the overall effectiveness of their melee and skirmishing weapons.”
" Along with weapon skill updates, your utility skills have been updated to provide more survivability over time."
-Have they shown us any significant improvements through utilities and traits? Not really. The 15-point in Soul Reaping and Unholy Sanctuary are the only things that got buffed, along with Spectral Armor, but those are hardly the things we needed to get improved for “better sustain”. So does this improve our sustain? No.
-Overall effectiveness with melee and skirmishing weapons? Yes, but only Axe and Dagger.
…Now think again. They announced the Mesmer changes. To my knowledge, they mentioned no PU andclone death changes at this time, which is pretty significant. Then, about a week later they announced the Necro/Guard changes. In these changes, they announced further Mesmer changes. What does that mean? It means the stuff they announce is hardly the full list they are showing us. So since we did NOT get real improvements on utilities and traits, just as with the delayed announcement of Mesmer changes, we can expect stuff for Necro, or at least I am. If not… then… well… yeah…. -clears throat- ahem, ok.

The changes they showed are the ones they want feedback for. Considering theres a pvp tourny coming up they would prioritise the important changes. Or changes which will have big impacts. So its safe to assume that the other unlisted changes probably arent going to address our core issues either.
I would be very surprised if they do change withering precision, siphoning power or lifesteal without previewing it.
