Hello everyone, I made another commentary video for some roaming clips I’ve picked up recently. Let me know what you think about the commentary/video and if you agree/disagree with my thoughts about the positioning in some of the fights.

Enjoy!

I was probably gonna do one just explaining some thought process behind the builds and why I might use one over the others depending on what I’m fighting.

I think it’d be nice to have a bunch of necro players doing commentaries even if they disagree just so more resources are open to other players.

We think a lot alike and I enjoy listening to your commentary. I prefer hearing the players process of thought over music and overused intros personally.

I also appreciate your descriptions of when and where you should be as a Necro during combat and your examples. Position is everything when you’re playing something that can’t rapidly change that position. I usually like to plant a Flesh Wurm somewhere when I’m poking at a larger group just so I can create range and pull who ever thinks they want to chase.

Anyway great stuff, I look forward to more!

I’m not that great at Necro myself, but it indeed is a macro over micro class in survival, meaning that in most cases, calculated positioning will grant you the best protection.

That’s not saying Necro doesn’t take technical skill – in fact, by watching better players dueling equally skilled opponents, Necros are likely the most unforgiving, with a depleting resource, to win with.

I wonder if Hobo knows about jumping puzzle spots, which prevents teleport skills like Steal from working? I’m not saying to rely on them, but it does help me wait for peels from porting classes sometimes.

And how about that torment sigil? I have tried it but seems to not make that much diference. Is 1 stack worth it ?

Thanks the comments! I appreciate them.

I agree with the macro over micro aspect. A decent amount of the micro aspects for necro is canceling abilities to bait dodges, which is actually pretty easy due to how long our cast times are. A lot more of my fights are won due to macro and how I position to force my opponents to fight to my strengths instead of forcing me into areas where I can’t do that.

I love no port spots, sadly I don’t sPvP a lot anymore (not enough time to even play any mode at all really). There are a huge number of those spots in WvW as well, but unlike sPvP where they have to fight you near/on the points its much tougher to force thieves to fight you near spots where the no port areas exist sadly.
