Guild Wars 2

… for an expansion full of plants.

NOW I GET IT.

I pooped myself watch the vid.

Another high concept name no doubt. Just kidding tho, I actually don’t care much about this or the dragonhunter names. They’re secondary compared to the actual gameplay, maybe even tertiary, with animations and look being secondary.

Yeah hype…
“Creepy slow horror monster that is unstoppable and will…”
“STAGGERING BLOW, EARTHSHAKER, BACKBREAKER, BANISH!!! Thats what you get for going melee, noob”

Time to reroll I guess

Shroud Knight sounded better.

It is confirmed an elite-spec will get a Defiance bar. With the “Creepy slow unstoppable monster” description, it might very well be the Reaper. Which would definitly fix this. So wait for tomorrows PoI!

Sounds a bit promising at least.
Even tho slow casts are just stupid. We already have some of the longest casts. I mean who gets hit by things like Maul ?
Can you give me a source on that?

Well I mean. You do realize the new elites are actually intended to be stand alone classes right? Reaper is actually not a necromancer

As for necromancer, they have plenty of rituals, curses and so forth and can have 6 pets + jagged horrors. That’s far more giving than most games are for a pet build… Necromancer is also made in the image of their imagination. It’s really not up to the player to decided what ANets “Necromancy” means.

I seriously doubt the casttime will be slower than lifeblast. Which is kitten slow, but not insufferably so. Especially with the freeze and the “Get over here!” from the teaser.

That’s great and all but without group support the Reaper will still be left out of the LFG unless they have just insane DPS.

Again, chill (lol) and wait for the PoI. We know exactly one shout. The next could be “Deal damage and apply 5 vulnerability per enemy hit” or “Allies get x Might per enemy hit”. There is apparently an AE, low duration Deep Freeze on the new DS. If there is any way to get your Minions to die faster you get 5 potential blastfinishers with “Rise!”, and the replacement of Dark Path looks like it might very well be a whirl finisher + blast at the end of it.

Also there might be a trait that adds a buff to all shouts.

You’d think though if that were the case (and they were getting group support through some means) they would have mentioned it in the write up that the Reaper is getting group support in some fashion. That’s been a GLARING hole in the Necromancer’s abilities for years, just like DPS, which they did mention. Of course, like everyone else I’ll be paying attention to the PoI but I’m not going to be foolish and get my hopes up. Did that too many times while maining a Ranger and won’t be doing that again.

Hey looks like I was spot on with my prediction of the Elite Spec… lol

Necro Shout Ideas if we get this:

*ARISE DEATH-
Shout, causing undead to rise as minion.

*YOUR SOUL IS MINE-
Shout, draining health from nearby enemies and charging Life Force for each enemy hit. Allies nearby are healed 20% of the health drained.

*SCREAM OF PAIN-
Shout, causing enemy to be affected by Poison,Bleeding and chill. nearby Enemies see their HP Bar statues randomly increase and decrease, giving off false information for 7 seconds. Allies nearby gain Resistance for 3 seconds.

*HOWL OF DEATH-
Shout, Taunt nearby enemies then cause them to run in fear after 4 seconds.

*VOICE OF CORRUPTION-
Shout, causes a corruption effect on nearby enemies, that collects damage done to them over the next 5 seconds and deals that in a spike once the secondary skill is activated. Enemies affected lost 1 boon every second.

at least the first shout that is..

and the Reaper name, I got that right… lol ;-)

And the new F1 transformation…
