I would actually further this title with .. "and love thieves, mesmers, and engis.. and warriors)

First off I wanna say Hi I know I’ve been off forums for a while and it’s due to this kind of stuff that I actually have been away..

Lol. So you know we all get excited when they bring out new content and we’re like “omg they’re gonna do something new and help out our class and blah blah” … Just like when they introduced sig of vampirism. But lets not revisit such unhealthy memories especially when we have brand new ones on they way XD

I hate being the bad guy. I really do. I have put so much attention and time into this game (up until recently anyways) and have always wanted to see the game do well. But the obvious favortism shown to class mechanics and balancing is just disgusting in this game XD. I can’t ever recall a game whose shown so much hate toward one of thier own classes like gw2 has.

So anyways, I wanna first off say that our new trait is meh. lol. Just like many others we’ve been given. It’s complete meh. It’s, by description, a regeneration boon that will proc when you enter DS and heal your hbar while in DS. Anyways I say great job. I think its great. I don’t even wanna cry lol.

Now check this out… PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE BOLD >.>

Mesmer: Power Block
Enemies of mesmers beware: they’ve learned how to mess with your skill recharge! The new trait for mesmers allows them to gain additional benefit when disrupting enemy skills. Power Block will be introduced to the Domination line and will change the recharge of an interrupted skill from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. This will not affect skills that have no recharge, but I’d imagine that stopping a necromancer from consuming conditions would surely put a nail in their coffin.

Bahahahahaha!

So who do we know.. who has skills with no recharge? Thieves! yay for thieves!!

Now.. who do we know.. who has like no stability? NECROS! YAy! More necro hate!!

Can they just stop pretending? Can they just give every other class in the game a free skill that instantly kills a necromancer on sight? Lol

Anyways thought I’d share my opinion on it all. Have fun dudes!

Still didn’t kitten me off as much as their usage of the word “turtle” in the description for our new trait. Considering we’re supposed to be an attrition class and they make it sound like it’s a bad thing if we use our special mechanic. Very poor choice of words on their behalf…

if it is not obviously by now that this is just a work in progress then i simply do not know what else to tell you . perhaps maybe the game is designed to be this way not by being mocked or by being jaded but when it may seem like they really are trying to correct the issues . but to further the process of which they have to dive head first into just so can better understand where their information has gotten them has to be from reading posts online on this forum . for i can tell whether or not if it is raining on my leg right now or when it is going to rain on my leg later any given day , because when it does rain i can clearly see streams of yellow liquid being poured on my leg by anet devs and that is when they tell me that it is indeed raining . good day sir !!!

Its probably something to do with none of the devs in charge of skills/balance mains a necro. I kind of expect the worst these days. And just enjoy the changes that are good on all classes.

I agree. From a pvp perspective necro’s problems aren’t the necro itself. It is the fact they they keep adding HARD counters to necro. This mesmer trait being the latest hard counter. In addition we have seen berzerker stance, cleansing ire, diamond skin, automated response, null field buff, hammer warrior buffs (we have no stab), pistol whip buffs….

All these things hit us hardest and make playing necro frustrating.

I don’t understand the necro hate. It’s not like we can just arbitrarily stop or continue the fight on a whim unlike… never mind.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

I have to agree with Spoj; we just have to enjoy the good changes when they come. I believe once the game moves through this max DPS funk it is in and it balances itself out into the wonderful game it can be, Necros will have their day in the sun….er…..putrid mist.

They wanted to pun on “nail in the coffin”, so they chose Necromancer because they’re the “undead/death magic” class.

Reading any more into it is a level of sensitivity I can’t possibly imagine.

That’s because you’re not reading any more into it.

As far as other classes who are less affected by this skill the Warrior is also in the safe zone. Their stability and passive heal healing skill make them less affected by this. Any class that has access to stability are less affected by this trait.

So when they say, “put the nail in the necro coffin”, they really mean that since we also have some of the longer cast-times among classes with obvious cast animations.

Why would I try as hard as you are to take offense at a joke? I had a chuckle at it.

Because its not a joke. That’s why I gave examples on why it’s more literal than you would try to have believe. Why? I have no idea. But try more I guess.

You haven’t even given any info on why you’re going to report. I say go for it man. You have nothing constructive to say except “I’m gonna report u gg”. Who’s the troll again?

While you’re at it report his thread too: Mesmers Grandmaster Trait

Since reading things isn’t your style you should just go ahead and report stuff you don’t understand.

Because your example is wrong. If you want to use an example to prove your point, at least have the decency to not twist the reality. To make it short:

1. Necromancer eats thief for breakfast. (assuming you’re condition/ or MM)
2. Thief kitten s mesmer any day.
3. Necromancer is not harcountered by mesmer.

Even If I take those new traits into consideration, I don’t think anything will change. It’s a wait and see really. Hence why I don’t spit hasty conclusions. Come back to earth.
