I think this should be transfered here, get pinned so everyone can read it daily and fall into more deep depression before the log in.
Until someone from the devs actually read it, this and the 90% of the topics here,so we can hope for something.

Hell ,none has not even said “Hey guys,we know there are issues and we are working about it”..

Aah, some pseudo professional team (as in, there is no real PVP going on atm so close after release) gives their opinion about endgame PVP where noone has gotten that far yet (rank/gear wise).

I am not bashing them! But I would rather have some intelligent response instead of “OMG please sticky because I agree with it”

Oh dear that post is mostly just whining, when will people understand that this game is about team balance not 1v1 balance, Necros are extreamly powerful in groups we provide alot of debuffs and combo fields, meaning other classes can take advantage of this and kill the enemy team easier.

Yes i know we have alot of broken traits etc but the amount of crying happening that necros are the worst class in the game is just pathetic and frankly wrong.

This is most likely why these posts are not being replied to by anet because frankly would you listen to a whiny little kid who is only whining because they expect all classes to be as powerful as eachother. That is not what guildwars2 is about it wasnt what guildwars 1 was like.

Please everyone stop asking for buffs to bring us upto the same 1v1 abilitys as say warriors etc it wont happen and shouldnt happen.
And tbh if played properly its entirely possible for a necro to kill anyone 1v1 if they are skilled enough, the person who posted that wall of text obviously is one of the people that just expects another wow clone

I’ve seen no official post stating that each classes must rely on each other to be successful. I’m actually surprised to see this tauted so early, usually people will resort to this desperate defense after all L2P arguements have been exhausted.

Here’s the thing, PvP in this game is multifaceted. SPvP and WvW both offer numerous circumstances where 1v1 is inescapable. In those scenarios, it’s usually necromancer that’s at a disadvantage. This has to do with missing trait-line synergy, underpowered minor/major traits, weak weapon skills (or poorly designed weapon skills), and multiple unrealistic builds (daggers, axe/warhorn, minions, wells, life-leech etc..). And let’s not forget about how we’re compelled to spec a cookie-cutter build.

As I’ve said before, if this game IS about strict team-play — than the power/crit necromancer who joins a game in SPvP is hurting his team by denying a slot to a warrior, or a guardian or just about any other class.
