Guild Wars 2

Seriously im over this class(fullstop) Where the hell can I complain about the hundreds of thousands of issues and problems about this class and why it really really needs a MASSIVE buff.

Complaining (without even stating a specific problem) doesn’t solve anything.
However if you have suggestions on what to improve and how that could be useful.

From what I’ve seen Necros are quite average overall, with Eles and Mesmers beating them in PvP and Warriors and Guardians being better at PvE.

Necro is still much better than Warrior in PvP and also quite useful in PvE.
…and outright great in WvW so long as you don’t roam alone.

That’s not to say that there isn’t plenty to fix, but that is the case with every Profession.

If you want to suggest ways to make the class better, this is as good of a place as you can find. Complaining can be done to your therapist, mom, or significant other.

Constructive criticism is key here. Necromancers are great in PVP, but pretty much mediorcre in WvW/PvE which leads me to suggests to you to specify where the profession lack and how in your opinion it can be improved. There are places where I believe the profession can be improved all around both in PvP/WvW/PvE for example with my suggestion to add a small healing power coefficient to life siphon but most critism/suggestions are usually aimed for PvE and unless specified they may lead to a confusion by PvPer’s who may think it’s the Necro there which need the changes when in fact it’s not.

If you noticed in the SoTG ArenaNet said they were balancing PVP, some WvW (I believe) while disregarding the PvE consequences, while we have this clarification it indirectly left PvE Necromancers on the backburner and heavily disserviced, so I understand complaining from that point of view, it quite hard to euphemize it in anything else at this point.

I find this so amusing. The necromancer can be played well and it is done quite often. Spend the time to educate yourself, not only have we been consistently buffed but we are at the least mid tier choice in a very negative and exclusive meta. Higher skill floor than most, but far from needing major buffs. My biggest fear with necro is how many small changes could put us over the top, we currently very lucky we have so much diversity in play compared to other classes.

EDIT: I don’t find it very constructive to just point out that you are off base, necro is not conventional and can be frustrating. If your complaints are in s/tPvP and actually would care to benefit from time and experience send me a whisper in game or come spectate some matches (yeah we can do that now, how cool is that). If it is WvW/PvE this forum is lousy with awesome guides and players to glean knowledge from.

You are complaining as a Necro? Go make a Confusion Mesmer. THEN we will talk.

Pfft I have a Mesmer and I’m having no issues with the confusion changes (ONLY WvW NOT PvE), yes the practically killed the old confusion build in WvW (made Mes scepter useless) but they did give great alternatives. Less mantra cast time, stuns on staff #5, removed confusion caps, these are real biggies in WvW!!

Mesmers can adapt as I did, Necros are stuck in the same spot.

If you run conditions try doing the math on your damage. You don’t see big numbers like other classes but one well used epidemic does more damage than a full meteor shower from my ele in WvW. Consider that you are doing around 3k dps from your consditions alone, as that damage continues to tick no matter where they are. The most my ele’s meteor shower has hit a single person in WvW was 3 times and they were downed after the second hit (they were already low hp). My necro can do 3 or 4 times that amount with one epidemic, usually 3k dps with another 3 second fear that ticks for 1.2k, so 4.2k per second AoE and they can’t cleanse it while feared. Much stronger than a meteor shower that any bad player can dodge roll out of after being hit once for 2-3k.

Thats just how necro is, if you are in very specific situation and certain time then necro is awesome. But overally any other class is more rewarding and less frustrating to play.

I wouldnt want to see any substantial buffs, it would make the class overpowered and then we have to look at nerfs. Fix some stuff sure, maybe buff a couple aspects, but overall the balance is fine.

You probably are trying to make the class something it isnt, because it is the best class at what I want to do with it (mostly range aoe).

This is pretty much my thoughts exactly.
