Guild Wars 2

Taken from the “Select Profession”-screen:

“Necromancers are masters of dark arts. They summon the dead to fight for them, channel blood energy, and rend their enemies’ souls. Necromancers draw life force and use it to strenghten or heal themselves and others. (Necromancers wear light armor.)”

So are THOSE hidden mechanics? :>

Oh a game!

Masters of dark arts: wells
Summon the dead: minions
Channel blood energy: Dagger skill #2: Life Siphon
Rend their enemies’ souls: Axe skills
Draw life force: Life force generating skills
life force to strengthen: Strength of Undeath trait
life force to heal themselves and others: Transfusion trait and Life Transfer
Necros wear light armor: light armor

Necromancers are…

the brave children that slept without bedlights the quickest

the born athletes that never used training wheels ( stability)

those who do not rely on burning but on liquid salty tears

but most of all, we are already dead

Necromancer can basically be summarized by Corrupt Boon. We’re the poor bitter pauper children who get nothing except that one move that curdles the milk and tarnishes the silverware.

I was thinking to myself the other day, “What really sets necromancers apart from the other classes? What do they bring to the table that is unique that no other class can?”. All I came up with was corrupt boon and surviving long drops with death shroud. Maybe epidemic, but i never really found it that useful outside very co-ordinated efforts in dungeons.

One word: Epidemic.

Tough yeah, some might argue that staff and wells are pretty cool AoE stuff.

Oh, in dungeons? Signet of Undeath is a nice addition to the team.

If Corrupt Boon and Epidemic were to be the only skills the Necromancer could use, I’d still play it more than any other class.

but most of all, we are already dead

We are the denizens of hell mode

We are vampires who like our blood seasoned with garlic

We are the green spectral ghosts who can still get punched in the face

We may be broken but it doesn’t matter.. because we are already dead.
