Guild Wars 2

Because I’m sick tired of the fact that the necromancer is lacking in regard of support and because simple solution are the best solution :

Blood is power :
- Damage : whatever
- 3 might stacks for 20 seconds
- 2 bleed for 20s on foe
- 1 bleed for 10s on self
- Cool down 15 seconds. (10 seconds if traited)

Here we finally got something that is almost as usefull as a reliable blast and we can now contribute in the party support. Is this really to much to ask?

Support for necromancer would be nice, but I think this will get in the game as a new ES.
And this buff seems a bit over the top, don’t you think so?

Actually you are (when traited):
buffing the bleed damage to the enemy by 100%
instead of 8 stacks might with 40% uptime you give it 6 stacks with 100% uptime
bleed to yourself stays the same

With some might duration you are able to get more might as for the actual skill with 100% uptime.

Like said: Permanent party support should come with a new ES. Corruption skills seem more bursty instead of permanent upside, so I think the concept of BiP is fine. And not to forget: your suggestion would have a HUGE impact paired with blighters boon. ^^

Well… no. At best you gain 3 more bleed stack on your foe. Let’s say, roughly a 400 dps increase… You’re right that sure is over the top…

Beside, the base necro is in dire need of something that give it value in a party. Come on, being able to maintain 6 might stack feel OP for you? I’m affraid almost all other profession can do it.

I don’t see how it would have a huge impact paired with blighter boon. Except if you fear this as a nerf for your LF generation. You usually pair blighter boon with something less risqky than BiP, let’s say… The spite trait line.

The only thing that it would do is giving more value to the necro as a teammate. AT the moment, BiP boons could be as selfish as they were before the BiP change, it would be the same. Nobody take a guardian if he come to grant might with it’s staff because short duration might stack cripple more your party than it help it. This is the same for the necromancer and BiP.
