Guild Wars 2

To be clear, I’m pretty happy with where necros are at the moment but I’m bias. I suppose, currently Vampiric Aura is what we bring but people don’t seem to appreciate it enough over other classes’ utility. With the ongoing debate about the necro’s place in pve groups I’d like to make a suggestion: Allowing necros to trait into a max 30 stack vulnerability could change the minds of the community. Perhaps Decimate Defenses would need a rebalanced.

The idea of a higher cap on vuln might jive with necro’s current themes, would make necros work to achieve the cap and would incentivize some of the vuln stacking traits already present. Bonuses might include axes and underused sigils becoming relevant. Opinions? Too powerful? Not enough? A Pipe dream (probably)?

In my opinion, a simple damage buff to Vampiric Aura and a trait that increases the condition damage of the group, similar to Spotter, Empower Allies etc., would be preferable and probably also easier to balance.
