Guild Wars 2

Avigrus.2871:

They need to increase the cleave on dagger – i don’t get the restriction.

Between piercing life blast, life transfer and wells, I’m not all too concerned with aoe on my power Necro. Sure it’d be nice to hit about 3 enemies on say the last attack but it’s not exactly a huge dealbreaker for me.

Alright, having seen the Reaper in the livestream, I’m guessing that the Dagger’s niche is going to be pure single target damage with the flexibility of offhands. It seems like GS will be better than dagger once a foe is below 50%, though, when they can just chain cast Gravedigger, so I’m not sure how much use dagger will really find.

Although I’m hoping that they make some changes to Blood magic to buff up dagger’s lifestealing, since as it is now, the insane tankiness provided by the Reaper and GS kind of blows away any self healing the dagger provides.
