Guild Wars 2

Pardon me, as I’m not typically someone who peruses the boards typically. I’m not sure if this has been suggested before or not, but this is an idea I came up with that I think would be a viable change for the necromancer. I propose that Spectral Walk is changed from a swiftness buff and a trail of green to a stealth and a either a minor health regen or keep the swiftness.

The reason for this is because the stealth will give the necromancer a way to " get away" which much of community seems to feel is lacking for this class. All the other classes have stealths, ports, leaps, tents, spins, etc that allow them some movement options to escape fights. The necro is severely lacking this. I know the developers want us to rely on our death shroud, but no other class has to rely on just their health or just their armor. They all have forms of mobility and the necro is the one class that doesn’t seem to have this.

The other reason is because the stealth will be, in my opinion, more in line with the death walk part of the class. A stealth is almost like the necro is moving into another plane of existence. The current spectral walk is really a beacon for finding the necro…just follow the green lined road and you’ll find a pot of gold at the end. People may argue that you can hit the ability and port back where you started, but once again, all the other classes have ways to close on the necro and the green trail is kind of a giveaway as to where they started. With the stealth, the necro can then CHOOSE which path they want to take and will be harder to follow.

I’m approaching this from a WvW aspect and not a sPvP, so I’m not sure how it’d work out in sPvP, but for those of us in WvW it would allow some wiggle room from the constant immobilizes, pulls, etc.

I highly doubt Anet will give us stealth. And they dont want us to get away… For us, once in a fight, its either kill or be killed. They were clear that this fact will not change, sadly.

Ya as much fun and great that sounds it will never happen… Like Muchacho said it is to kill or be killed. We cant run in a fight or we die really so…. When fighting and more come I most likely will not get away so I just stand and fight I do more fighting with heals then I do running away. sad life but one of the professions have to do it.

NOOOOOOO, all SW needs is to return to its 60s cd 30s swiftness 10s on hit 3% life force without icd.

I run spectral walk in wvw all the time, it saved me more times then I can count even from zergs. Traited it has 48 sec cd and 13 sec duration if I’m not mistaken. It can be used to escape. If you see that the fight is not in your favor pop spectral walk and run in one direction, use your defensive skills to slow or fear people who are chasing you, also I like to use death shroud 2 on mobs to get that “leap”. If people continue to chase you pop spectral walk when it has 1 sec left, turn your camera 180% and continue running.

There’s been quite a few times when I suddenly got attacked by 10+ people and I came out alive because I was able to survive for ~10-12 seconds running/dodging/using full deathshroud, marks and spectal wall and then returning to my original location and running in opposite direction.
