Guild Wars 2

Disclaimer: This is not a joke post. I’m serious!

I saw the master of corruption and I had the best idea ever.

Since necro belongs in the downstate for more dps, do you guys think a build that forces you to suicide as fast as possible to benefit from downstate traits will be viable?

I mean I saw plague form kills you pretty fast without anybody even attacking.

The new consume conditions help you get bursted down faster, and there is a built-in mechanism of self-blind if traited so you don’t accidentally deal damage back which might force the enemy to go into defensive mode.

tl;dr Do you guys think a 5-corruption utility bar would work to die faster to benefit from the OP downstate traits?

They’re nerfing the down state traits so that we can’t kill people when we kill ourselves.

Downedstate traits got nerfed, so no.

Already tried. Double Death Nova just doesn’t have the damage….

I lost hope of downstate builds I don’t want them to try to improve it irony is mean hctib.

I’m thinking of something… five necros running blood magic could go down in a cluster, and the Last Rites trait would cause it so that they would all keep each other from expiring naturally, and they could all focus their downed state power on someone.

Mind you it steals life, so they’ll eventually rally, but they can use master of corruption to help themselves go down faster again.

Lmao this thread is why I love the necro community, it makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

But you can’t even nuke yourselves down fast with plague because if you ball up for last rites, 1 engie can just moa all of you.

kitten … I guess they will have to start out separated, and converge on each other when they’re about to go down.

Does plague signet passive function while in plague form? I’m thinking now about one necro sucking off all the other necro’s self condis onto themselves… I wonder just how high the stacks could get.

Plague locks your whole bar except for 1-3, so no signets, just like in DS.

Wow shutting down all these suicide plans makes me really appreciate how non-functional so much of the class is. Come on ANet.
