Guild Wars 2

necro’s aren;t wanted in raids much any more. MOstly cuz the single target condi dmg from rangers or most other condi classes outshines us by a fair amount.

Most people want necro for EPI, and thats it. epi is awesome for multi but unsless on single. So i was thinking what about adding a condi dmg modifier for epi per targets NOT hit.

IE, you use pei on a target, it hits 5 others. Normal epidemic usage as it currently stants

You use epi on 1 target, you hit 4 targets, you get 30 condi dmg for 10 seconds.

you hit 3 targets, you get 60 condi dmg for 10 seconds

basicly for each target you do not hit you get 30 condi dmg for 10 secdons. This would allow necro’s to use epi on single bosses and get some burst condi dmg.

How about we leave necro as is and just make condi necro viable without having to be pinned to epi?

This, really. We need a general buff, not an epi buff to be viable in raids.

I agree with the above two

…I’m also hoping that now DPS meters are blessed, we start to see some aggregate stats of real-world performance in raids, too.

That would add weight to claims to positions in raids, if we perform adequately, or to calls to improve the class DPS if it really is that much lower than others in practice.

Very true about so I, we shouldnt have to be forced to take it. But I have noticed that people expect you to take it. It does make me laugh when some necros pop it when there is only 1 target and nothing else

Would love to see an overall buff to necro. Gonna actually try out a power build in a raid now that dps meters are ok

To my entertainment, most of the posts of “my pug experiences with DPS meters” are now “gosh, ele doesn’t produce the theoretical DPS at all”, etc. They mostly say that necro is “performing poorly as expected, save for good players, who perform in line with average players of other classes” … but exclusively on condi builds so far.

Cant wait to try out the greatsword changes.

And yea theoretical is not obtainable in a real fight. Neuro has really good consistant dps in figbts but people only want what they think is the best.

I often end up with way more DPS on my necro then people do on their eles or power/condi PS. It’s stupid how many people rather take classes that are better in theory, while during the real stuff necro often outshines other classes.
