Guild Wars 2

Picture this: if you were given enough power to make any improvements to necro you wanted for next update, what (5-10ish) would they be?

Mine would be:
1) rework DS so that you can stomp/res/use stuff, also fix locking skills bug
2) make DS so that some of the skills change based on what weapon you’re using
3) rework siphoning, and boost most traits/skills that siphon, including signet of vamp (i.e., no internal cooldown, etc.)
4) get rid of/nerf minioning siphoning health, waaaaay too OP/promotes laziness IMO
5) rework blood magic line, buffing/replacing certain traits; add a trait to master that lets regen health through DS
6) since necros have no invul, block, very little mobility, etc, give general defense buffs, maybe a super siphon, something cool
7) find a way to nerf scepter/condition spamming so that it takes a little more skill to apply conditions

Just balance pve conditions, they are way up in my eyes, i want to play a conditionmancer that can come close to a zerk necro…

1) Give us some meaningful utility.
2) Give us a melee cleave weapon.
3) Fix current traitlines.
4) Give necros some form of active defense other than the base dodges.
5) Make boon on DS traits group aoe etc.
6) If no extra utility is given, increase direct damage to be on par with ele/thief.
7) Rework life siphon.

^ So much this . ( From a Pve perspective ) because our pvp problems have been related far too much

Get rid of Reanimator.

Spoj The Second.7680:

1) Give us some meaningful utility.
2) Give us a melee cleave weapon.
3) Fix current traitlines.
4) Give necros some form of active defense other than the base dodges.

7) Rework life siphon.

1. I agree to a point. In wvw depending on our spec we can be used in a few different ways. Pve we do need some more group utility.
2. 100% agree
3. I wouldnt say all the traitlines are broken but yes modifications are needed
4. Spectral wall should be a reflect or be able to absorb damage
5. that would make foot in the grave a bit too much dont you think? aoe stab/retal/fury on a 10s cd.
6. we already have one of the highest damage AA in game, adding cleave I think would make things fair
7. rework it yes.
