Guild Wars 2

Hey necromates!

Finally we got the UI changes to our beloved DS, yay!
Now, it’s seems logic at least that we need a 5th skill on our DS set to match other transformations right?
This post isn’t for discussing if we need/deserve or not that 5th skill, it’s just for make a brainstorm about what skill should be that just for fun ^^

I’ll start saying that it should be something related to conditions (since conditionmancers get almost nothing from DS). Maybe something like a buff that gives your next x attacks on DS an extra bleed stack?

What do you think guys?

sacrifice all lifeforce to gain might fury vigor for 15sec 1 stack pr 20% lifeforce

I think they should give us our underwater auto as a 5th ability and optional auto attack. If it is suitable underwater (where we get a much stronger kit to use it with), then I don’t see it being OP on land.

I don’t care what it is , add me a 5th skill !!!

Maybe something that works exactly like the thief’s skull fear?

I think someone had a great idea in a previous thread about creating a second auto attack that stacked conditions with a reduced damage for conditionmancers to use.

…and stability.

Step 1: Take underwater DS
Step 2: Place Life transfer as skill 5 and Doom as 4
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

Don’t you take my dark path away from me!

As has been suggested throughout several posts here in the official forum as well as in the feedback section of the wiki prior to release, tie the 5th DS skill to the main-hand weapon you were wielding when you entered DS. This would add some variety and situational utility to DS which would also synergize with weapon and build choices.

The specific skill descriptions are legion in those other posts, so I won’t repeat them all here. By making this one addition, it makes a stronger connection between DS and your chosen build.

This would be awesome.

5th skill?

For the love of God, make it one that reflects projectiles.
Necro is the only class that doesn’t have a single skill/trait that enables it.
