Guild Wars 2

I quit playing a month ago. I lost complete faith in anet and their ability to make this class unique (DS doesn’t count) and as fluid as other classes. I was disgusted with direction instances were taking and completely confused at the discrepancies in boss difficulty in certain dungeons. I joined this game to play a necro and wasn’t playing anything else. Our condition stacking was slower than other classes. Our pet AI was the worst in game. Our burst was mediocre at best. There was nothing we could do that other classes couldn’t do better.

So I waited. I hoped. I thought for sure that this highly anticipated patch would show me that anet was gonna get their act together. Now, I’m happy. Happy I can finally let this game go for good. I can finally stop being let down and disappointed everytime I logged in. I can drop this mess and be at peace with it because now I know this class is doomed for mediocrity. I can let it go and move on. Thanks anet for giving me that final push.

Good luck.

cant say i blame ya.You might want to check back in around say 6 months from now.There is no monthly sub after all.

While “mediocrity” is probably the wrong term for the necro class I can see where your coming from. The lackluster changes to this class are extremely frustrating, but necro as a whole is extremely power atm. Try running power necro with a staff guardian in tpvp. 25 might stack lich gives me about 5700 atk 95% crit, add a time warp and that means a dead enemy team.

Maybe hes like i am and feels that the MM build should be viable through the whole game.The AI and pathing is bad its just too frustrating to continue playing.

Most minions work for me, it’s the stupid little exploding ones that are the worst. They’ll often just kinda sit around nearby. If they’re not even going to attack I’d like them to at least be close enough to the enemy I can blow them up in a field or something.

I’m on the verge of quiting this game myself. ANET is not what i expected, and i thought that they would be different from everyone else but its just the same old same old.

I monthly buy gems, but not anymore. Since this is F2P i can’t really say im “quitting”, however im not going to play this game anymore and im simply just not going to support ANET anymore (money wise).

ANET, all i can say is you are a big appointment.

“I monthly buy gems”. Er, after all this neglect and terrible patches “used to buy gems”

I’m pretty sure that brings money to ANET, subscription or not

This was causing me distress, but it’s better now.

I think all the necros need to stop the QQ. So you got some bad patches, so what? So did several other classes in the game so far, but they’re starting to fix them and taking steps in the right direction. The last patch may not have been what you were expecting, but from what I saw of the other classes patch notes I am every pleased with Anet. I’m sure they will direct their love over in your direction soon enough, for now just think of it this way: If you can master the current semi-underpowered necro just think of what you will be capable of when they finally get around to buffing it!

Oh, that`s right, they`re taking steps into the right direction. Thieves get 50% movement speed but hey, don`t worry! Your kittening jagged horrors now live longer so they can kitten you off even more!
Are they even kittening listening to us ? I don`t think so. But then again, what do i know, i`m just a necro who has not mastered DS yet.
They even have the balls to come into our forums and ask us what`s wrong with our kittening pets…

:D The mesmers may want a word with you~

Stop QQing? What other class has their main weapons not work half the time? Can you imagine the uproar? What if thieves and warriors missed 50% of their attacks? What if 50% of the time elementalist spells decided you know what, I don’t think I want to cast after all. What if ranger pets died in the ‘unique and exciting’ red rings covering every inch of the ground that every single boss has to spew…oh wait that one is true. But at least rangers can call them out if they are observant, we can’t even do that T_T If anyone deserves to QQ its us. And Engineers, they can come aboard the QQ train as well, turrets are in almost as bad a shape.

Necro is being systematically screwed patch after patch after patch. Every other class got huge buffs. Necro was nerfed across the board. Necro did not get a single viable fix. Instead of fixing gluttony they set it to 10%. Guess what 10% of zero is? They lowered the damage and cooldowns on skill Necro were not using very often instead of dealing with the Minion and Life Siphon issues. But they had time to make sure Life Siphon wasn’t giving Necro an extra 45 health per minute from allies that happen to cross the path of Staff 1.

Anet might as well have deleted Necro entirely and replaced all Necro characters with an animation of a dog taking a kitten on the word Fun.

Anyone even know if gluttony works with all skills or if it was just a lazy attempt at fixing the trait.

like do 3% *1.1 = 3.3 get reduced back down to 3? , so only skills adding 10% works with it.

Oh well time for uninstall.

Yeah the people at Anet didn’t have any clue about Gluttony. Someone had the idea to double the rate and they saw a small increase to Life Force skills that already worked so they called it a fix and moved it forward. Instead of fixing Gluttony so it actually proc’d on everything it is supposed to proc on.

There are also a bunch of new internal cooldowns that aren’t mentioned on procs and skills. Nothing like using skills expecting your reactives to go off and getting nothing but a wiff and a cooldown.
