No, Necromancer Hammer

-1 to this suggestion and -10 to the hammer.

Give us sword + shield!

Nope. Sick of seeing so many stupid greatswords in the game. Starting to look like a final fantasy rip off >.< give us a scythe, or if we’re only getting existing weapons, a hammer.

Really no thank you to hammer. Sword or greatsword are both weapons id love to have on necro.

Too many bloody swords in game, stop, hammer time.

If I can’t get a 2h Axe,ill take a Hammer.It would be so nice to finely use my HoM Hammer skin.

No, Necromancer Hammer

Yes, want Entropy for my necro.

GS, Hammer and offhand axe please :P

edit: oh and torch!

GS or no weapon at all, unless they add the scythe.

In gw2, having a greatsword = master race. You’ll get all the cool “balance”. I don’t think we can join the master race.

Greatsword with 100 Life Blasts on ‘2’ key.

Greatsword or 1h swords would be terrific.

I cant believe only 2 people mentioned the scythe.
GIVE US DERVISHES or at least give necros scythed so we can reap souls like true soul reapers.

Scythe maybe… a dark book that unleashes souls or dark thingys maybe…. torch maybe… GS no… just no

What about multiple weapons!

1. Greatsword – life siphoning, power based with cleave

2. Hammer – AOE, CC and utilities

3. Sword – cleave auto, hybrid weapon that can apply torment

Done! Gives us more choices and lets everyone customize their necro!

My necro doesn’t lift. He’d have problems picking up a GSword or Hammer.

Scythe!!!

How about fixing up existing weaps? Melee Cleave? DS use’s offhand weap dam aswell so were not locked to Staff for DS or kitty dam? Combo Finishers?

Why don’t you just add all the weapons to your list while you are at it.

When that wimp Trahearne can wield a GS why can’t we?

Dont care which but a 2 handed melee (as in irl melee, it can be used at range if the devs want) weapon would be cool, but offhand axe (defensive offhand) and dual wielding normal swords (tanky/cc weapon that would offset/be a spear counterpart of the D/WH combo) with a ice field and mobility skill on offhand.

I don’t care if it’s greatsword or hammer but we need melee cleave.

Am I the only one that thinks a mace would be a cool weapon for necros? I don’t think a great sword or hammer would be good. I want to see maces, torches (either hand), off hand axe, and shield (maybe). That’d be cool if they made a scythe and made it exclusive to necromancers just so we would be more unique.

+1 to the best looking weapons in the game.

Give the Necro the Longbow. Give it a stealth mechanic and make it a true hybrid weapon. Let me brainstorm for a sec…

Skill 1: Wraith Shot – Fire piercing spectral arrows at your target. Each hit gives 2% Life force. (It fires twice as fast as Staff but gives half as much LF)
Skill 2: Twisting Fangs – Fires a twisting pair of ghostly arrows that pierce targets. Each target hit causes Life Siphoning and receives Bleeding.
Skill 3: Soul Chains – Fire a fan of arrows with ghostly chains attached. Each target hit by a arrow is afflicted by 1 stack of torment and 1 sec of immobilize. Becomes Soul Reaping; you yank your chained targets to you. Each target yanked gives 3% life force.
Skill 4: Grenth’s Assassin – Fire a poisoned arrow and stealth yourself for 4 seconds.
Skill 5: Grenth’s Reach – Fire a Piercing Arrow for significant damage to all targets it hits. If fired from stealth, it causes Weakness also.

So bleeding, Torment and Poison + Weakness and a good power coefficient. The concept here is that a necromancer uses incorporeal arrows that naturally pass through targets. This could jive with Shroud builds and Condi builds, you could even use Soul Chains in combo with wells. This would also make a true torment necro very viable.

^^
GS, Hammer, Sword, Mace…. everything is fine really, but as necro we need that kitten melee cleave. Staff and minions? Not for me, ty: full power, melee and wells.
Hell! I’ll be happy even with daggers cleave and no new weapons: hardly OP.

I really, REALLY dislike the Scythe skin for Staff. It’s a scythe, not a spell-caster kiter…

I think a melee scythe should act like axe mainhand, landing 2 hits for the first chain, 1 for the 2nd and 1 devastating Aoe attack for end-chain.
Chain 1 might inflict weakness
Chain 2 might inflict poison
Chain finisher might inflict vulnerability(3-4stacks) and 1 stack of torment

no GS pl0x
1 hand sword! either main or off hand…both is also nice but more importantly…TORCH!

No GS.
No GS.
No GS.

that is the devs goal for all the classes is it not?

I’m just really against giving the necro a gs or hammer. There are already too many greatswords in the guild wars world as is. And hammer just doesn’t suit the profession at all imo. We need a cleave weapon, but it should be a one handed weapon.

Indeed it is. indeed it is.

Yup. The Greatsword would be super awesome. Mesmers get it, why not us? And while the’re at it, they should add the torch. That would be pretty fun too.

Torch please. that would be awesome.

If I leave the Pvp section and listen to other kind of suggestions, I start to totally understand why devs don’t listen to the community.

It’s a question/suggestion thread. Some ideas are more thought out and some ideas are less thought out. The more thought out ideas provide suggestions that may be useful moving forward. The less thought out ones either (1) get people to think outside the box to consider new options or (2) give more credence to the well thought out ones.

Please do not come into our forum and insult us.

Some ideas will be good and some not as good but nobody is demanding these ideas of the devs in this thread.

Also, take into account that this is a general necromancer forum so balancing issues do not only apply to PvP

Come on… of course Greatsword… the build for such a weapon is already there.

GS that does cleave damage and heals based on the conditions on the target… also transfers conditions to targets AoE… and a bit of chilling with cleave attack.

Would open the path for a signet build… finally a tank build that is unlike any of the other tanks in the game… it’s unique since it’s a high HP low mobility melee-er with cleave and high heals (lacks blocks or invulnerabiles) and uses conditions to compensate.

We would use blood magic and curses… and voila… Deathknight FTW ? = hard to kill plague meleer, you know… deathknight ?

/Baws

edit: also… the gear for it is already in the game, so make the GS attacks to not crit, only scale really high based on conditions on target… ohhhhh i’m so good

No, no, no, never, gs doesn’t fit necro at all

I would prefer a hammer since it fits anets orginal plan for the necromancer far better than a greatsword. Not to mention that mesmer and warrior butchered my view of the GS as a trinket you twirl and fire lasers from (Hell it even has a knock back of all things) and a weapon to turn you into a quasi thief. I’m sure the necromancer won’t be any better.

Hammer could give us some nice power based aoe’s and I can even imagine slamming the ground for aoe chill or slamming the ground to summon minions etc.

No… To many greatswords around anyways. I want hammer or mace

Ok I will throw in on for the torch too, especially with some of the new torch skins released that are pretty necro-ish

I want, I desire and I need a GS.

AC GS is just beautiful and Twilight (or Eternity) is the best looking Legendary (and it fit necros).

I hate the hammers and torches in this game.

GS or bust.

Although I’d settle for dual wielding shields or being able to use my spear on land.

Hates hammer, wants something impossible for fighting… yeah just kitten any kind of little logic the game does have.

hell no. no more melee weapons. All I want is a torch, axe (off hand) and a shield.
I have the feeling that half of you want a GS or a hammer just because they look cool.

more melee weapons?
the necro only has one and that is just because of the one auto attack, the rest is all distance.

just to show the part why it does fit:

Those look terrible…..

I would love to have the trident skills usable on land, especially the two cleaving melee skills.

those look great. If a caster like a mesmer can weild a GS so can a necro. People get too caught up in their preconcived boxes of what a necro “should be” from other lore universes.

The more weapons we have the more Ascended gear we potentially have to grind for. For that reason, no thanks. (Though that hammer wielding necro nightmare warden from TA was cool.)

I’d rather have alternate skill sets to choos from for the weapons we already have.

I would rather have a scythe but since those don’t exist in this game, I’ll settle for a Greatsword because Twilight is the only remotely Necroy legendary.
