Hi there fellow Necromancers!
I just thought I’d start a thread of positive goodness in the midst of a sea of negativity (at least, it feels that way on Reddit/here). I get it, necros are gloomy bums that turned to the dark arts, always pessimistic about life and the outcasts of society (at least, that’s how I see the necromancer class, dead things are usually taboo in most cultures).
But does that mean we have to be negative about everything?

I just thought I’d give my appreciation to Robert Gee and the whole team that works on the necro as a whole!

I love the vampiric traits, they’re really cool! I often run it in dungeons and I feel like a boss.
I also love Reaper design. Sure, shouts seem somewhat odd considering they’ve got cast times, but I’d love to have more voices for my necro.
Transfusion is such a boss trait now, running it in WvW has helped me keep people alive countless of times.
This is old too, but I just love running condis. I’ve played condimancer for 2.5 years now and nothing is as satisfying as seeing a 5k bleeding tick (before the patch I had difficulty reaching even 3k ticks… too bad that the staff doesn’t help anymore )

Got anything you enjoy about the necro, just share it! Not everything has to be negative (although negative opinions are usually what attract people to the forums in the first place).

I love necromancers. I wish they were stronger in the PvE side so people wouldn’t kick me out of dungeon runs even if I’m running the max damage possible. Too bad Anet don’t even know how to treat the class.
I was so, SO excited for reaper. Then the movement skill changes came and I dont even. I dont even anymore. What are they doing with my poor baby.

I actually really enjoy my Necromancer. I love the interaction with Shroud, I love corrupting boons, I love condition management, I love soft-CC, I love some of the power combos (not just immob→well), I love that I can switch between power and condi and feel strong both ways, I love the aesthetic (it only gets better to me with GS), and I’m looking forward to Reaper.

However, I don’t love blindly, and I think ANet has made some intensely questionable decisions recently. When I watched a Warrior GS Rush away with Chill on, I legit had a sinking feeling, like they took away my ability to potentially keep someone in a fight. And the Chilling Darkness change RKO’d the trait out of nowhere.

I love the class, but that doesn’t mean stupid things haven’t happened recently.

I think most people here complain BECAUSE they love the class and see it does not reach its full potential.
I still have a good hope Reaper will fix PvE. Sure the group utilities are not great except for fractal where blood magic can become useful. But if at least the DPS is increased (and that is what they promised us), this is a big step forward. Plus necro may be very useful for “challenging group content”.
For the rest, it seems to me like tuesday’s patch was more meant as a bug fix than a balance patch. Let us give them some more time to fix things.

Man, I love teleporting downed teammates in PvP before they can get stomped and rezzing them… like a lot. Feels so boss. I love transfusion, makes me feel helpful. Love the look and style, love death shroud, love my lich that makes everyone run away… sigh good times
