Breaking desks… true story!

Edit: I feel there’s a deeper meaning that shouldn’t be ignored here: lots of necroes probably have a feeling of “I’ll flip a table if we don’t at least get […] in the next balance patch.” (e.g. 2 target cleave on dagger auto, like thief). Zombify is just taking it to the next level and showing he means business!

For those that are like: wtf did I just read? I’m talking about the final match of the All Stars Tournament which had to be delayed cause Zombify broke his desk… twice.

Tbh, I thought Zomb was underpreforming during those matches.

First on power necro, hardly getting his daggers to speak (if he had them equipped)
Lich form spam 1 wasn’t the best way to use it, several occasions where a pushback was in order (but because of long casttimes and focus not able to use it)

Then on condi also underpreforming, yes he did guard near (as condi) and it worked out untill someone entered the cap ring (hambow firefield) iow It became clear that necro doesn’t have a viable role to play if there are no people holding points (heavies,engies, damage negating classes). AT ALL.

Hopes someone else notices this too.

54 infractions and counting because a moderator doesn’t understand a joke when he/she sees it.

I feel bad that Zombify broke his desk probably out if frustration, but maybe it’ll help shed light on some necro shortcomings.

To be fair, Zombify does have the muscles…

I too want to see videos of this match. This whole e-sportz thing is dreadfully hard to follow since I don’t actually have a twitch, and I feel like I can never find decent information on anything related to high end pvp or its matches.

they allow hambow in tournaments of this scale? that’s like getting a huge handicap on a professional golf tournament..

You dont dictate the builds players run in a tourny.

I don’t break desks… Mine is too pretty.

We can’t play like other classes because we’re the up class of the game. It’s really that simple. While other classes get real updates and evolve with the game.. necromancers are stuck in beta along with nerfs. It’s pretty clear that necros have not gotten as much attention as any of the real classes (engineers, thieves, mesmers, eles, guards, wars). Even the ranger has gotten an AI update on their pets. It really makes things obvious when you hear stuff like that about zombify. But to me these things have been obvious for a long time now.

Check this out..

What can our class almost do? bunker? maybe.. but we are the easiest to get decapped since we have the lowest amount of stability in the game. Fears would help us if not for the fact guards wars and even engi’s (real bunkers) have not only stability but condition clears.

Lets take another look at something interesting…

boon duration and condition duration. They are both given to every class via trait lines yet only one of them can be used to its fullest by the necromancer. Every class can use condition duration as every class can run a condition build. Boon duration is an entire stat that we cannot use like the rest.

Healing power…. Why? I for one love using siphons and plopping fat heals on myself in hotjoins… in real games (tpvp) vs real bunkers, the truth is evident. Healing in DS is not allowed. This is the ONLY class mechanic that is RESTRICTIVE. DS is our bread and butter and we cant escape its use… why then make it incompatible with core mechanics?

All these things and many more… I’m not sure what they’re going to do next patch and honestly am not that concerned. Soon zombify will rename himself mesmify and play a mesmer like poor nemesis was forced to.

Alot of people are complaining about Noscoc s terror build using wurm and walk saying it’s the most op build in game especially 1v1. I tried it and will say it’s probably the most mobile necro spec I’ve played but I don’t see it being op other than the fact it can actually disengage if played right.

It was not the desk. Necro is UP. Not enough CC and low spike dps. The cost of engaging Necro is too low. Necro should have high cost of engagement. It is like a tank: engage when adventagious and avoid when not.
