Guild Wars 2

As much as I was unhappy about CC and plague form, I’ve been watching some streams, looking over traits, and I came up with a build that a month ago I would have absolutely laughed at. It’s fun, it’s different, and it feels powerful even in the face of meta (formerly meta?) classes. I even get to feel like I can learn more about my own class, because now signets are a thing that never could have happened before today, and all these changes combined equals a playstyle I have strived for for 3 years but never fully reached.

So far I’m really happy with this patch and enjoying myself, and I wanted to share in case anyone else is having fun with it, too. There has been a lot of negativity but I think there are a lot of positive things to discuss, too.

Same here, I really enjoy the changes too !

Surprisingly the CC and plague changes are not bothering me one bit. This patch has made my power necro so much better. I’m very happy and have already gotten used to flashing DS after using CC to get rid of the vuln.

So I agree, I’m loving this patch.

Only CC change is bothering me so far.

Still tinkering with builds, but so far? I am so pleasantly surprised.

IL be home at like 1030 est anyone down for some 5 man necro comps?

I’ve embraced the signets. SoV is actually pretty cool if you nail someone in a bad position in a team fight, the extra damage seems to really make a difference.

I’m not over how strong the Spite tree is; every trait feels really strong.

I’m not done testing yet but I might give up Terror trait and go staff-less like before I don’t feel condition necro DoT side just the condition manipulation side. Lots of testing to do..

So I keep hearing that the power necro is doing really well. Can anyone point me in the direction to the build and such? I am still newer to the game only about 2 months or so. Any streams or links to follow would be appreciated.

The sheer joy of pulling an ally onto a ledge out of an enemy stomp that is otherwise impossible to stop and saving them is amazing. The new patch is a lot of fun to play with, though probably less so if you were really hoping to play condi.

ehhhh condition was never really good in PvP anyways. My WvW roaming build should be stronger than ever now, and PvE I’m loving Condition necro still. Can’t wait to check out my power builds.
