Guild Wars 2

Unholy Martyr: Reduced life-force generation from 10% to 7% when transferring a condition.
Yeah Sure, Unholy Martyr was constantly winning 1v2’s in PvP and setting dungeons record times; it had to be nerfed /sarcasm
On a more serious note, I doubt anyone picked this trait over Transfusion or Vampiric Rituals, which are miles better. But it really shows what Anet thinks of Necro’s, we just can’t have nice things – Nerf something which was not complained about even once! And leave broken things like burning in place.
GG ANet, Gee effin Gee
/rant and have a nice day/night/afternoon

MMs took it.

The trait was the main thing allowing MM to compete in mid level Pvp. MMs were gaining 10% life force every proc, because minions too dumb to run out of red circles.

The condition pulling is not helpful or even desirable because necromancer condition removal is poor, but the life force gave this trait a niche.

One less viable build.

Oh and the vampirism signet change is a big nerf to the other closest to viable build.

UM was on the strong side, I think the nerf is absolutely valid. Is it the most pressing issue in the game? No, but most of what will fix us is way too big to address in a random patch. It doesn’t kill any of our builds though, MM is just fine without UM, it just helped out the already absurd DM/BM/SR Unholy Sanctuary MM build.

They still should change it to make tainted shackles draw 3 condis from nearby allies and grant 7% LF per condi drawn. That would require far more active play, and it would work better. Been suggesting this forever, we don’t need more passive condi transfers.

+1 to zapv
