Guild Wars 2

if you think necromancer is not weak, can you do this in world vs world? he kills many foes very quickly in WvW with few allies. i think it is 2~8k damage per 0.2 second. and he uses stealth and stun or daze. seems very overpowered.

A) pistolwhip and axe spin2win are designed to be you die if you dont know how to run away (even if Pwhip shouldnt be usable from stealth and have a at least 2 second cooldown/not stun if you chain it)
B) thief has half our hp pool so cheap tricks are a must

Yes, Necromancers can in fact do this much damage given the same situation. You need to understand that this actually took a bit to setup. He is using a stolen item for the 2nd spin and getting it took a few steals given the randomness of that mechanic. On top of that they are using(exploiting?) the games character model loading mechanic, which basically means for the first 2-3 seconds no one has any clue what is attacking them.The first spin only hits for 4k-6k and the second spin is the one that actually hits 8k. Even together that’s 14k. Also take a look at that thiefs health, if anyone had actually

For a necro you use Blood is power and epidemic, boom 8k+ bleed on a ton of people. Lay down mark of blood that’s another 3k+ bleed. Switch into DS and do life siphon and now you’re doing a bunch more damage, equaling out to around what that thief was doing. Toss in a well of suffering and all your other marks and you can do a ton of AOE damage. You might not do it as quick, but you have more survivability and it is a combo you can pull off a lot more often and with very little setup. I did it last night when defending a tower and just decimated enemy forces. Love seeing Blood is power spread out to everyone :P.

We don’t really have burst damage that can compare with that, but you can certainly use skills like corrupt boon and epidemic to turn group fights on your side. It helps a TON with epidemic if all players are targeting the same person, so get your groups organized.

I’ve seen bigger damage in WvW also, an ele in my guild showed me a video where he’s effectively doing 25k damage a second with meteor shower (since the meteors hit 5 players at once and there are multiple ones raining down from the sky). And he was able to cast 2 back to back.

isn’t ele op than necro?

on necro that would have been something like on 0:05 pop shroud. then getting pulled knocked thrown around the walls to somewhere 0:10 and couple seconds to finish necro.

well with help of rogue necro might have managed to escape to try something. Perhaps managed to over surive the bunch as they aren’t genuinely 80.

Actually that randomness isn’t random when stealing from players.

necro = aoe 3 sec fear item
engi = aoe ground that applys random conditions to people that stand in it item
warrior = axe spin item
guardian = bomb item
thief = stealth/blind item
mesmer = all boons for short duration item
elementalist = ice shard item(forgot exactly what it does haven’t played my thief for some time)
ranger = tree with regeneration stacking duration
