How to Condi Reaper on a budget
Everything I say is only in reference to PvE and WvW.
Since the incoming patch is going to take away our ability to tank infinite falling damage with Death Shroud, I hereby declare today to be Jump-Off-A-Cliff Day! All Necros are encouraged to find the highest cliffs in the land and jump off them, making sure to pop into DS before landing of course. While we’ll still be able to do this sort of thing with Spectral Walk by double-tapping it before we hit the ground, this is your last chance to survive epic falls without having to spec for it.
Done, should we post jump pics? ^^
I just took a last dive off of the zephyr sanctum. :<

It was a bit cold up at the top of the durmand priory, so down we went. Took over 25 seconds to hit the ground, and made some pretty spirals to boot.

Do it! Any any suggestions for locations to jump from are good as well!
I like jumping off the cliff in Mount Malestorm
It’s a long way down from the top of Mount Maelstrom, but by Grenth, The Lady of Pain made it alive.
Anyway this nerf is more of a serious issue for pve survivability against boss attacks. And there a chance the jump will still work seeing as fall dmg is calculated as percentage hp.
Other classes have invulnerability potentially negating INFINITE DAMAGE. And now we cannot BLOCK A SINGLE MIGHTY BLOW, anymore with our ONLY WAY to MITIGATE damage? Anet you suck. You definitely don’t main necro’s. You have a tunnel vision of playing against them.
Guardian/warrior for the win? seems so. Guardian so far seems the most nerf resistant, cause it fits casual player and they like their casual custumors most (confusion nerf anyone? hahahaha). Guess i should play guardian.
And the jumping thing was one of the few reasons i liked necro so much. It may be unfair to otherclasses, but then again permanent vigor (necro has no option even to have it), good access to stability/block/mobility skills are also unfair to necro. It balanced out. Now you unbalanced again necro to the bottom tire. All my effort to main necro last weeks for nothing. I want a refund Anet…

They just removed one of the most fun mechanics of being a necro.
I am very disappointed.
The awkward thing is, we know that DS hp is %based relative to our actual hp. If we now take enough dmg to knock us out of DS, is it safe to assume that some hits will one-hit KO us regardless of DS? In which case, DS is only for gimmicky LF+torment and a couple of might stacks.
What i’d like to know is: what triggered this change?
End of jump off a cliff day. RIP
