Guild Wars 2

To see if/after the last patches nerfs (spectrals, terror and DS) get reversed and Dumbfire gets removed, a few ideas from me:
Sorrowful Revenge – upon losing your remaining life force (getting kicked out of DS by damage or Degen while in combat) nearby enemies are damaged (about as strong as death nova), knocked down for 1 second and are infliced a condition based on weapon currently equipped (3 10 second Bleeding for scepter, 10 5 second Vul for Axe, 3 5 seconds of Torment for Dagger, 5 second chill for Staff), internal 90 second cooldown, stunbreak

Virulent Offerings – 50% increased movement speed in transformations, cast Epidemic if you attack a target with 7 or more conditions on them while transformed, 5 second internal cooldown.

Entering DS copies all boons to allies.

Or entering DS gives 5 stacks of might to allies for 10 seconds.

Would rather we have new minor traits in spite though.

I posted a not so great idea a while ago in the constructive necromancer thread. It got drowned in everyone’s else comment, but I thought it wasn’t a terrible idea. here it is, copy paste style:

“If Dhuumfire was a change to a Torment- applying shield, It would need a slight damage reduction (talking maybe only 10% or less), an ICD of atleast one for the application of torment itself , and only 1-2 applications of torment per hit. It would also need a similar duration of maybe 3-6 seconds. How it is applied, however is tough. I honestly thing that it would scale with percentage of hp, being cast and every 25% with an internal cooldown of 20-30s. Maybe even longer. The idea is to make the class still have a reason to dip into Spite as condition, but offer something for power players also if they so choose. It could be made more appealing by making it also give 4% more direct damage per condition on the opponent while the actual shield is active. This way, while its not a full 20% like close to death, its a viable option that can combat that trait on the power front also. The actual shield I feel probably will have to be no longer than 12s. anything higher will be too much.
Besides that, the overall tankiness of necro so far is getting there, while still having problem to focus. I dont think there is much that can be changed outside what was already done to spectral armor on this front without upsetting the balance too much. If the only option to nerf is to take away dhuumfire or nerf terror, however, the obvious first one is a better choice. In terms of actually changing marks, they are pretty much fine and can be dodged by most who watch the hand animation.”

Probably needs the cooldown of it actually adjusted slightly, but its an idea.

I don’t know how I feel about Virulent Offering, honestly. Sorrowful Revenge sounds good though.
