Guild Wars 2

Currently only 2 of the 5 Necromancer wells have a damage value. Power, Darkness and Blood do not, therefore not triggering the life steal from Vampiric and Vampiric Aura. I suggest Anet adds a damage value to those 3 wells.
Well of Blood and Power should get a damage value similar to Choking Gas – 73 (0.2).
Well of Darkness should get the same damage as Well of Corruption – 798 (0.5). It is currently the worst Necro well and deserves some love.

they actually all trigger the vampiric effects.

I wouldn’t mind seeing some nominal damage on the wells, but the lifesteal is still there.

They only trigger the Vampiric Rituals life steal. Not the Vampiric or Vampiric Aura life steal.

Make wells also be blast finishers before dropping the new field.

Combo skills in GW2 have a lot of room for further development.

It is partly why wells are for WvW. Wells received an inadvertent nerf when elites were introduced and they were only good for area denial in the first place. If wells were traps like marks, and if chilling darkness was unnerfed, they would be more competitive.

My biggest problem with wells is their cooldowns. They should be halved, at least in PvE. Long cooldowns are boring.

My problem is they deal damage too slowly for the cooldown offered, everyone in WvW knows not to stand in wells these days.

They should do higher damage with less pulses rather than low damage with lots of pulses.

Well of Darkness is just a horrible skill all around. The other wells are OK, though if they are bugged, for example not triggering proper effects, they ought to be fixed.

There is also no Elite Well.

As someone on the forums said a few days back “we have an elite well, its just confused and thinks it is a corruption utility”.

Increasing duration or radius might be an alternative to damage.

I wouldn’t mind what damage they give. It could be the lowest co-efficient in gw2 but it would just mean it triggers vampiric and vampiric aura.
