Lich form was/is a horrible skill… What they changed is just a bad patch to an issue that they had overlooked, however it seem they intend to keep the issues that they intend (like horrible skin/ bad design of transform skills… etc.)

At this point they should just put Lich form in the bin, like they did with Guardian Tomes, and make it into something useful. And when i say useful, I mean more “Feel My Wrath” than Signet of Courage.

Yes but Mark of Horror didn’t need to get trashcanned, considering it was necros major damage source.

Lich Form doesn’t even feel like an Elite ability, honestly. It’s obscenely short-lived, not particularly grand while it lasts, and then goes on cool-down for a year and a half. I’ve had base utilities that have had more impact.

Yeah, give me https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grim_Specter as an elite spectral. Honestly its the only skill on lichform that is still good.

Oooh, yes. I like that.

You guys, Lich form is still the best skill for necro… due to all other so call “elite skill” is more useless…

corrected it.

Ok I’ve been away for a while, can someone fill me in on why Mark of Horror was such a big damage source for condi necros? I can’t imagine it was the bleeds from the horrors themselves? Is it just that the death nova x5 would happen pretty fast for condi necros who didn’t have other minion buffing traits?

Actually it was the bleed from the horrors itself. With a healer you could stack quite a number of those rats. The base bleed is 5 sec long and is applied roghly ever 4 sec. It may not seem much but with a whole army of rats it actually is

Oh weird. I guess that’s a raid thing then? I’m just not used to people have this strong of opinions about PvE metas. o.O

I would still like an elite signet that works like a guild wars 1 skill where it strips all boons from foes and leaves a effect on them for maybe 10 seconds.
During that time any new boons that are applied will cause massive damage to the marked target or maybe be automatically converted to conditions. Maybe both to help supplement condition and power builds. While this does not help the pve world its just an idea for something useful

Wells need a boost I would like if they could remain snapped to the the current target when placed so people or at least the one you specifically want to target can just walk out of it. They have proven that they can make moving aoe fields at this point why is this not being done.

MAKE PLAUGE GOOD
I feel like plague would even be better if it locked onto one person pulsing bleed posion weakness cripple etc on the person for a set duration. ITS CALLED PLAUGE!!!
If that person stepped near another person then the aoe jumpes on to them too and now they can both start effecting each other as long as they remain close to each other
Think of it like a plague you aoe you put on the person but jumps around like epidemic if they overlap another character

This classes skills sets could be soooo much more interesting and lich form was just another comp out imo its always felt that way. Golem is just another match to complete the minion set, Chilled to the bone is a decent elite but I do wish it worked more like Ice bow 5 did where you cant just break stun it for free. It could be so much punishing for landing it on people. you would think something like that would be a big game changer in team fights or against monsters with break bars.

Its a raid and T4 fractal opinion. Also minions used their masters condi damage/duration. So it was 1 stack of bleed per minion for 10s every 3.5s. So 5 minions from Mark of Horror + those created from Death Nova.

a disease like effect from gw1 would be fun. especially on plague.
A debuff that applies bleed/poison, and spreads to additional enemies if they get nearby.
& can’t apply to someone who already has the debuff ( doesn’t reset timer to 10s..)

Balance condition stacks/duration & pulse time and radii to suit.

That’d be pretty awesome
