the problem with cpc is it gives us LONGER weakness then it gives the enemy…… they need to switch that around because the way it is it is more punnishing to the necro to use

Ever since they changed the pre-match skill switching in PvP, I’ve been pretty annoyed that corruptions give us conditions. I can’t think of any other skills that can put the user in combat, which happened to me once when I tried to switch specs before a match when I accidentally clicked the skill.

I know it’s not ideal but it can be used occasionally as offense… I see where the developers thought it was ok but it only works if you have dagger 4, staff 4, plague signet, generosity sigils, or wop.

All of those are Important cooldowns though.

I dunno I think it’s stupid. I get the transfers or consume conditions, but it’s still stupid. Corrupt boon without one of those cooldowns deals 1k damage to you with a condi build. Which always happens, even if the skill fails or misses.

Oh trust me I don’t exactly agree with it considering some of the sustain problems we have. It was even more effective before when staff 4 cleared you and allies considering they designed the class with that and our original sustain options from beta and our deathshroud nerfs and hell even some buffs we got just got nerfed into oblivion. Yet we still have necromancers performing well in all levels of competition. Pretty amazing honestly.

One thing i don’t get is why are we necromancers designed around only optimal scenarios that never happen when it seems the rest of the classes are not?

Is it odd that Invigorating Precision for thieves is getting buffed from 8 to 15 percent scaling with critical damage, whilst Parasitic Contagion remains exceptionally low?

We clearly havent been asking for sustain since launch. Thats why.

While we’re at it, it’d be nice if Parasitic Contagion was in a line that better suited condition damage.

That makes too much sense. Suggestion rejected!

Similar argument could be asked about Unholy Sanctuary. Why does it heal for about 1/3rd of what Shadow Rejuvination heals for.

Also remember thief has a smaller hp pool so they get far superior sustain with less healing than us. Id seriously love signet of vampirism passive to be like signet of malice. It wouldnt even be nearly as good as it is on thief due to our hp pool and lack of pistol whip.

does anyone have the math worked out to see how effective Signet of the Locust will be with healing power?
