[Video] Spectral Wall is Not OP
Hehehe had to login just to say nice song choice for this video You’re totally right, it’s only “OP” against peoples who tries to bumrush you without looking. Against good players it’s a group protection giver and that’s it.

i dont know what the fuzz about SW, i refuse to waste a slot on my bar for that skill when average player in WvW have stability. maybe in Spvp is other story.
I’m one of those crazy people who used Spectral Wall before the buff. While I love the buff, I find it unfortunate that not as many enemies like to run through it anymore… because they actually know what it does to them now. Although the dummies who do like hitting their head up against the wall over and over again are a great laugh… especially Heartseeker spamming Thieves.
There is only one thing that needs to be worked, fear itself.
Just not funny when your toon jumps down a cliff to escape a necro using fear :P.
Auto movement during fear should have some AI i believe, like not to jump down a cliff.
Otherwise everything looks to be in order.
Gave me a laugh! Thanks

no.
NO! NO! NO!
dont dare to take this away! :O
that is one of the most fun things to do as a necromancer…
either get a stun breaker or improve your positioning and it will rarely happen.
besides, what about other classes that can simply knock you back down the cliff?

So every class with pushbacks is fine but fear isnt? warrior tossing you around like a ragdoll then battin you off a cliff is fine. Mesmer wall pulling entire party off a cliff is fine. Fear however is bad. Right… good logic.
Don’t forget that your warriors fear will get nerfed too…. It will still remain analy long. Longer then necros fear from using 3 skills while you use 1… actually now that I think about it… if people won’t be running away then your warrior can just sit there and play whack-a-mole on someone. Kind of like moa morph except u can’t even run. Sneaky… very sneaky… good job sir.
nice video showing that it is op against brainless ppl only
Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights.

Well I’d say that fear is more frustating then launch or push back but in the end it “come down” to the same.
You didn’t by any chance choose that piece of music just because it says “wonderwall” did you?

He probably chose it to lock out us Germans

Posting here as well for those who don’t go to the PvP forums:
Necros have gone almost a year without really having much use for Spectral Wall. Now that they’ve made the spell useful, everyone is crying for nerfs. Friends, I’m here to prove that this spell simply cannot be considered overpowered based on the fact that as long as you don’t walk directly into it, it cannot harm you. I spent a few hours over the weekend deliberately placing Spectral Wall at easy to avoid moments just to see how often people would ignore game mechanics and stand in the fire. Fear not, I’ve also included footage of people rendering Spectral Wall useless. No offense intended to anyone who might be in the vid, just having some fun.
Thank you so much. This is definitely something for ANet to take into consideration when they give in to the majority and make us useless necro’s again for 10 months. At least we will have our fear wall. sigh =)

Yup. I actually can’t stand that band, which is why I thought it would be funny to use it.

I asked on the PvP thread too if you have any suggestions for getting around that I’d upload another version to bypass the GEMA restrictions. Like a list of approved music, no music at all, or a version with in-game sound if preferred (though with how short the clips are it would sound obnoxious).

I laughed, I cried, I kissed three bucks goodbye!
Man you really gotta take spectral attunement, then people manage to run into it up to 4 times.
corrupt boon+spinal shivers (including trait on 25% health) strips stability pretty well (except against perma stab guards… or DStab necros; and SS has an obvious anim); so its not really a hard counter to terrormancer
idk… i did think the new terror+dhuum+torment builds needed nerfing; but ive seen some really good counter plays (and dark path>torment>doom>spectral wall>spectral grasp>reapers mark is really fun against newbies… but lacks either stunbreaker or booncontrol)
