Guild Wars 2

I wanna hear Robert Gee talk about the Necro changes in youtube or stream-replay whatever will come. I dont just wanna see Traits on paper. I really liked him in Reaper stream, finally a Dev that seemed pasioned about Necro and didnt fell asleep talking about our Class.

I also wanna hear his real toughts on CC-nerf and change to Spectral Walk. Did he agree to this or was he the bullied kid on Anets playground again ? Also wanna see him chat more about Blood Magic revamp and the added party support from say Vampiric traits and Blood is Power.

I dont think iam alone in this and really hope we see something rom Robert.

it would have been nice to see the discussion but i dont think they continued it after twitch breaking everything. they probably think this is fine. ok most people during the stream said “just give us the patch notes” so maybe this is what the community wants

Likewise really enjoyed the Reaper stream.

Would love to get a similar view on the devs’ decision making process for some of the changes heading our way next week, and just what they were either looking to address or add to necromancer game play… perhaps a little too optimistic, but hoping the Twitter comment about posting the “full epsiode” to YouTube meant they continued recording.

Must admit to being at a bit of a loss on some of the changes at the moment, reminding me of my initial reaction to hearing about Tainted Shackles before it was added being “apply stacks of a condition that does more damage when target is moving… then stop the target from moving?” but I’m guessing a little hard to say before actually getting to try these things out in game without a little more insight there.

You’re not alone in this,I too enjoyed Robert Gee’s presentation of the Reaper, He indeed seemed like he enjoyed working with the class and seemed passionate about it. It was actually one of the few livestreams I have watched that had me interested till the end. It’s the only one I liked.

Also,I as well,would like to hear his thoughts on these changes.
I hope he sees this thread

Robert Gee, but yeah… I would love to hear his thoughts on necro’s viability and how the changes affect that.

I’d like to believe that, upon seeing the finalized necro changes, Robert killed everyone in the studio with a hammer and that’s why we didn’t get the rest of the stream.

I’d really like to hear their reasoning behind some stuff.

Yeah, we are missing some form on context on some of this irrational stuff. I thought he did really well with reaper but these changes..I really hope someone bullied him and forced him into some of these things.

I would like to hear the Stream too, it would help alot to understand the reasoning behind the nerfs.

Because reading them, made no sense, and I felt that our changes were incongruous with the changes released to other classes.

Almost like the different balancing devs were communicating with each other.

Confederates, I thought this thread was going to be about secession from these nerfs.

Let Robert speak.

Agree, but I dont think that gonna happen after the (justified) reaction of the necro comunity. I hope I’m wrong.

I think that after releasing the changes, stream would look something like this particular scene:

Kind of better lights went out

Yes, I would love to hear Robert Gee make even a small forum post to why he made these changes, especially Consume Condition. I mean, it shouldn’t hurt to spend few minutes to do that in between his job…

First of all it’s Robert Gee. Let’s at least get his name right.

Second of all, I don’t really think its fair to pin things on him. From his appearance on the reaper stream he sounded like he really knew what he was doing, and the changes overall seem reasonably well thought out. I suspect they’re waiting to see how big a deal the vamp stuff working through DS is going to be before they give our heal skills an across the board buff.

I think the real issue is that we’ve got this one guy making reasonable, theme driven decisions, while the rest of the balance team is just like YOLO buffing everything else with no consideration for what might be unreasonable.

Even in a vacuum, not considering what happened to anyone else, there were bad changes here. Consume Conditions was a bad change, all healing skills besides CC should have been buffed, waiting on leeching is a stupid idea. Also the curses tree is a bit of a mess, though I can understand how difficult it is to deal with that while still getting everything everyone wanted.

It doesn’t mean everything is his fault, I doubt he is allowed to make every change without input, and I doubt he is the only one making every change, but it would still be nice to hear reasoning for unreasonable nerfs. Also, I’d really like to hear the positive things too, they made a lot of great changes, it would have been nice for them to be able to show those off as well.
