Guild Wars 2

its what everyones been asking for a good year and half.

The main benefits of this would be:
- necro being easier to balance, as min/max LF scenarios are closer.
- a workaround to the bug of losing 20% LF on respawn.
- less snowball effect in a already very snowbally gamemode

I don’t do tpvp, but my comment (for what it’s worth) would be that ANet would probably disable this “trick” and allow necromancers to start tpvp matches with 10% LF, the bare minimum required to enter Death Shroud.

First of all: an ooc refill to at least 10% would be nice, but it has been suggested a million times already so I doubt it’s ever going to happen.

Secondly, disabling the minion-trick would mean either of two things:

1. Minions no longer give any life force when they die.
That would be a pretty hard nerf to the class overall only for the sake of giving necros the same amount of life force at the start of a pvp match as they are able to get with a few clicks already.

2. The 10 seconds before the start are reworked to no longer make any build changes possible. Or they’re removed entirely because that would defeat the purpose of having those 10 seconds in the first place.
Either way, a lot of classes do some last second weapon switching etc in order to stack swiftness or stealth.
So I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to happen either.

I doubt it’ll happen, it is the equivalent to an ele using staff to pre-match buff his teammates before swapping weapons.
