Guild Wars 2

It’s like they dont want me to continue playing this game.

Pls robertgeesus

Honestly, Reaper would have been great if it was part of base Necromancer, it basically is the same theme that Necromancer has always had, but without a lot of the design flaws the original profession has. The problem is it doesn’t really add a new thing, its Necromancer 2.0, the Necromancer we always should have had, instead of something truly new.

Unfortunately I think Tempest destroyed any semblance that I thought ANet was getting better at balancing us. I wouldn’t expect much.

I undestand the fact that we’re all thoroughly scrutinizing the reaper spec in order to see as soon as possibile if it will just be another failure in the necro department, given that all balance attempts so far haven’t been merciful on our beloved profession…
But the expansion doesn’t even have a release date yet. Unless by the end of august ANet will say that Hots will come out mid-september, I’m still kinda confident that all the elite specs will be subject to change; and they’ve probably already tried the idea of necro having a breakbar, and will try it again.
That said, I share your feeling, like most of the people here does.
ANet already said that the reaper is gonna be the tough monstrosity that stops at nothing in order to slay its victim, so nothing better than breakbar for that theme. Doesn’t mean necro must be the only one getting it, even if Anet said for now that only one will get it.
Still, i don’t really like the idea of eles getting a breakbar, engineers or guardians would be more fitting.
Not warrior tho, they already have everything imaginable and unimaginable

Something like 2 years ago, I think I may have suggested a masochism feature for Necro where, if incoming dps exceeds some amount, toughness jumps up. That is kind of a break bar / overload feature.

This forum has been full of much better ideas. Limit breaks have been discussed here, before. Now Ele gets it.

Necromancer is supposed to be the training golem every profession learns to counter and stake.

This is actually not that far from reality…

Robert Geesus, heh ? Well, then, he shouldn’t be surprised if a cross, a crown of thorns and a few nails are waiting for him, right ? And the funny thing is that we’re not Necro Judas: it was him who betrayed us, not the other way around. He dies and we rebirth as Revenants.

I feel better just picturing it.

The problem is that anet don’t listen to the necro community and when they read our forums is to get ideas for other professions.
So we just have to deal with any bad thing they trow at us like we have done for the past 3 years
