As true as Odin’s spear flies,
There is nowhere to hide.
judging by nearly every addition(or removal), buff, or nerf to necromancer, it almost always buffs condimancers and nerfs power. i can’t be the only one noticing this.
dhuumfire was a huge buff to condition users, meanwhile power gets no real ranged dps weapon that would even make some sort of buff possible. so far i’m waiting to contribute any sort of real constructive(lol) criticism for when the addition of “new” weapons shows up.(i am almost positive we will be seeing aquatic weapons go universal and a greatsword, so i’m sorry if you don’t want gsword.)
point being, expect condition builds to benefit from the 12/10 patch, and power builds not to suffer but certainly not to benefit.
Ok. //15charssss
I’m sorry, when was the last time power saw a Nerf that didn’t affect conditionmancers? And have you not been paying attention to the continuous nerfing happening to condition builds?
I have to disagree. Although power doesn’t see huge buffs, it has been getting better over time. The December 10th patch is buffing power primarily in the Death/Blood trees. Conditionmancer did see great improvements across the board with the patch that indroduced dhuumfire, torment etc., but that same patch saw some major additions to power based necros through DS buffs and (i think) axe changes. Condition removals have been buffed across the board on all classes, our condition transfering/boon conversion to has been nerfed and Anet tinkering has restricted conditionmancer builds because of new trait placements.
Their attempts to roll back Necro condition spike due to dhuumfire have also made non-dhuumfire builds using conditions much weaker (since they “fix” everything but dhuumfire). Especially in pvp when we lose 1 stack of bleed from MoB on Dec 10th.
That being said. I do agree power necros do need some cleave, extra base damage on skills and some ranged love. Power Damage, Condition Damage, DS attrition and Blood/Death lines all need further tweaking.

My dagger build is getting buffed in dec. So makes a nice change.
