Guild Wars 2

did any1 else notice how well of power no longer gives stability when it pulses?

It never did pulsing stability. It only gives 1 second of stability at the beginning of the cast like any not instant stunbreak.

its been a long time since i played my necro but im fairly certain that not only did it pulse stability but it even granted stability to allies each pulse as i used it that way in the past and i think i would have noticed if it didnt work as i noticed it now that i have started playing necro again…and assuming they changed this…that means necromancer has no way to gain stability unless using an elite skill or going 6 points into soulreaping so that u get stability when entering deathshroud???that doesnt seem right to me!

It never pulsed stability. In fact, Stability to this skill is fairly recent.

You can still get Stability through converting Fear.

Nop, it’s been like this since they make it a stun breaker. Before he wasn’t even giving stability except if you were feared in it.
No Necromancer well pulse boon. even if you trait it for giving you protection, it won’t pulse it.
And yeah, Necromancers have very little access to stability.

that doesnt seem right to me!

Now, you’re just at the starting point that would make you understand why some of us aren’t satisfied by the addition of “reaper” and still root for a real fix about the “core profession”.

i have been playing since pre-release and i have always played my necro as wellmancer…stability is not new to this skill. that being said i may have been mistaken if I saw the stability from fear conversion on pulse but am still fairly certain that i would have noticed if that was the case…something is amiss here.

That is only like two dozen months. Practically yesterday.

I’ve been playing necro consistently since release.

Well of power has never given stability to allies.

exactly thank you i knew at least that the addition of stability was not recent

well thanks for the info on it at least guys and maybe ANET should consider adding a stability pulse to well of power. that would at make things a lot easier on the necro and if u made it pulse to allies that would add some great support ideas for ppl looking to branch out and not follow every1 else…speaking of which i feel ANET is slowly moving down the same path WoW did with the whole cookie cutter builds…i mean why are they nerfing everything to the point where u can only play a class 1 or 2 ways and everything else isnt even viable competitively? increasing build diversity would def improve the game in my opinion

Sadly it’d be because it’s easier for them to balance :P

But it really is (and always has been) just a single second of stability to cover the cast time of your stunbreak.
Although I’m not sure why stunbreaks just got 1 stack of stability…

This has been suggested countless times already.
But apparently necros aren’t supposed to have a lot of access to stability.
Perhaps the addition of the Reaper’s Infusing Terror (3 sec stab, pulsing, 8 sec duration, 20 sec cd untraited) could make them reconsider their position in regards to Well of Power.

Actually yes, in anet-patch-time it was but the blink of an eye.

Wow, was it really that long ago? Feels more like maybe a year tops.
