you won’t need that much space for future Dev’s posts about necros.

I did just because Perma-Links have all the urls as well!

What is interesting to note is how much of this is from the SPVP forum…

Yup which is why the PvEer are still just playing it awhile to see how the lack of Deathshroud Absorb “feels”.

also

I tried to keep the Opening Posts unbiased but my favorites are, Learn to Play, Learn to Build, because we were awesome before launch, and Putrid Mark.

Oh dear, those two from Jon Peters…

“…it will always give a full cooldown when interrupted because its one of the best skills in the game.” I can’t remain un bias when reading what they put down lol These dudes have no idea what they are doing.

This JP guy has really the skill of dropping a brick in the community. I don´t know why he is doing that. I remember one of the State of the game streams when they were talking about necros and how immobile they are and that they do not have tools to reset a fight. So they said that they will look into that and play around with some ideas. When i heard that, i thought “yes, that´s really what i need, cool”. Many ideas in the community about what´s lacking were around those things too at that time.

Then the next patch came and what we got was Dhuumfire, something nobody asked for and something that started a lot of problems. But somehow JP seems to be obsessed by this trait or he fears that he is loosing his face when he would letting it go, i don´t know, but he is defending this trait with his life it seems. I really hope that some day there will be somebody in the balancing team that play´s and main´s a necro. Maybe then they will understand

I really wonder how long this thread will exist, we all know how open some people are to criticism ^^

Hopefully they have the curtesy to leave it open. Despiting wanting to leave in-line criticisms I forced myself not to because it was a lot of working compiling the links and I wanted it as an unbiased reference resource.

I plan to keep updating it, hopefully the future links are in a better tone.

He was corrected not too long later by another dev.

So 6 days and they are still pretending this didn’t happen? No response no nothing?

He doesnt spent enough trait points in the Depression line to unlock the Pessimist GM trait.

LOL, this made me laugh – bravo.

I think this is a way better dev tracker right here:

I like this one..

Oh cmon everyone knows that Cynical Response and Black Humor GMs in Forum flame and Social outcast lines are way better.

Only if you stack Precision to get more critical.

Fantastic list Myrkr,

I know you said specifically posts,
But, I was wondering if it would be beneficial to include the videos they posted on their twitch channel as “posts” as well because there was one or two several months ago where there was a lot focused on the Necromancer.
