Guild Wars 2

If you play necro and you’re not happy with Anet nerfing chill and Chilling Darkness and necros in general, tell Anet what you think! Tell them to take the ICD out of Chilling Darkness, tell them to reverse the nerfing of the chill condition and tell them to BUFF not NERF necro class! Keep posting on the necro board, the GW2 board, the HoT board, every board! Send in tickets complaining about the necro nerfs! Send in-game bug reports complaining about the necro nerfs! The way that Anet works, unless we all join together and complain as one on every channel possible, Anet will not listen! And don’t forget to promote posts that demand Anet to fix what they’ve done to necros!

I don’t even play necro and I’m disgusted by how many nerfs necros are getting.

It’s not a balanced class, and it already struggles for group utility. I don’t understand the reasoning behind the current changes at all.

Needs? You mean nerfs? Cuz if that’s what you mean, then yeah, necros need buffs, not nerfs.

Yeah, sorry, nerfs. I was on my phone at work. Auto-correct strikes again! xD

Anet dev must have fought a Necro in PvP and saw the chill was messing with his elite warrior. So he decided to nerf the most OP class in the game the necro with a second life bar.

Honestly this isn’t even a joke anymore. I’m disgusted to think that this is exactly what’s happening simply by seeing how all PvP 101 streams are played only on warrior because lol this is the only class I, a PvP dev, can play.

Quite a long time ago (back when they reworked Dumbfire and changed Weakening Shroud to have no ICD) they mentioned that Chilling Darkness was maybe OP for a minor trait, I wouldn’t be surprised if they always meant to do this nerf but it didn’t make it into the patch.

Know what’s funny? (Sad)’

Chilling Force – gain might and life force when you strike a chilled foe – will almost certainly be nerfed before the reaper is released as well. Robert himself even said that they might need to look at that trait.

I looked at it… and the requirement is that a foe is chilled, which makes it balanced. The might also only lasts 5s in its current iteration.

Blighter’s boon will almost certainly receive a nerf as well.

I don’t plan to get new specialization and HOT ….. first it will be worse much worse than D/D Power builds so considering they plan to nerf some of it best traits plus other nerfs also slow Necro GS attaks is just a joke …. even slowpoke can dodge those skills …..make them even slower arena net and more nerfs …..
