Excuse the title. I’m trying to keep the humor alive, because not doing so would probably cause me to break down in tears.
For two and a half years we have been asking for utility. Team. Based. Utility.
You give us shouts! Huzzah! Or not. Damaging shouts. Great for a class that was maybe lacking some damage dealing utilities but had plenty of team support, such as a guard or warrior, but the Necro? I mean, really? We have zero team utility, which has led to us being unwanted in sPvP and PvE (in the competitive sphere), a problem we are very concerned with and thought you understood and wanted to amend. Clearly not. We are going to continue to be a class unwelcome in any and all of your team based game modes (And I don’t count Wellomancer, due to your unbelievable lack of support for the WvW GvG scene). GG guys.

Yes, I’ll probably still play my Necro to try out this new specialisation and have some fun. But I severely doubt it will be my main. Revenant is calling. Also, thanks for the Jagged Horrors? Reading that was like you twisting the knife. GG.

I’d imagine it’s a “one step at a time” deal. They said elites will fill a missing role. Well currently we needed love for PVE, but also support. I don’t think the elites were intended to “fill all of the cracks”. So this one seemed to be pretty heavily aimed at making PVE and melee dps better, perhaps the next elite will be more focused on support. We have a potential here of being a power-house worth using in teams, if handled well.

As for support, it doesn’t have to be shouts. Support comes in various forms. In due time, all is not lost though. This specialization (potentially) has a happy place.

“Reaper shouts differ from warrior and guardian shouts in that they focus more on harming foes than they do on bolstering allies.”
That’s all I need to hear.
I’ll wait for the stream, and I will likely main Necro through all the new solo world content. But I’ll still have to log onto my Thief if I want a Fractal 50, and I’ll still need to play my Mesmer or Warrior or anything else when I want to PvP with a team. This might be fun for roaming, but that’s not a mode I play often.

this elite may fill another role for us however. we tend to get focused in team fights. im hoping this specialization is an attempted to fix that. Scaling shouts based on numbers of enemys sound good

I do welcome that, but it seems a bit experimental in comparison to the quicker fix, e.g. Some form of Invulnerability or Evade.

Dude i play nothing but support, tank or minions on my Necro. We are good in those areas in SPvP and WvW. I can keep my team alive for a while. I would like more as well, but this Elite Spec just added a whole new level of tanking and dps.

The theme that Anet continues to support with Necros is the ‘keep enemies close’ concept. I understand the concept, but outside of normal PvE that idea doesn’t really work.

In Dungeons the Mobs do much heavier damage or the bosses have mechanics that basically negate the entire concept.

In PvP and WvW the fights end up getting reset or the Necro is CCd and focused into dust regardless of how close our enemies are.

Hopefully this will somehow be addressed in the expansion. I am not confident at all about it anymore. This GS Necro looks like fun and the idea is interesting. I just don’t see how this will solve any of the notorious Necro problems that plague us.
