Guild Wars 2

So almost everyone else gets some sort of change (dept warrior cuz they are soooooo very balanced right now in PvP) and necro gets nothing. Where’s the changes to literally anything to give us something new to play with.

Condi gets cleansed too easily for a lot of people. So many other classes have access to ridiculous amounts of stability and stuns. On demand immunity from all damage and yes some classes burst has been reduced but there is still a massive amount of burst in the game.

So far the class that was “designed” to outlast oponents in PvP gets outasted and burst down faster than most other classes. The ones that could get burst down quickly have escape options or other survivabily tools at thier disposal.

TLDR: necro still sub par in survivability, damage and movement in PvP.

What about a power necro build with Lynx Rune? I’m going to switch to Lynx Runes on my Guardian as soon as I get home…

That’s our balance changes (summed):

…..

I would have liked to see some changes to necro but the changes they did have actually been very impactful in my play experience.

I’ve been using the Lynx rune today and I’ve been liking it a lot. The extra mobility isn’t a game changer in a teamfight and wont keep you alive, but it feels rly nice to not be as slow as usual. Besides that, the changes to Rev and Dh traps have meant a great deal too. You still have to be very very careful as a necro but Rev burst being so much less is rly nice and so is the lowered CC on guards. Necro is ok in prolonged survival, but it’s so easy to get instantly spiked down. The changes to those classes def made me feel way more confident on my necro today. Having a lot of fun in this new season.

Condis are still very strong. Right now, the Necro is the problem because it’s essentially a free kill in pvp. Most other classes, like Warriors, have better condi output and condi defense than the necro. So the Necro has no real role right now except boon control, which other classes can do without being a liability to the team.

Fixing Necromancer to make it better at condition damage probably spoils the party. Balancing Necro has always been a problem. I believe Necromancer is the reason all other professions received more condi and condi cleanse capability over the years and one of the reasons why Reaper was designed to be primarily a power build.

Terror, Dhuumfire, Deathly Chill… Which new attempt will be next?
