Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I want to get your opinions on which legendary I should aim for on my necro, the trouble i’m having is that it’s either dagger or axe since scepter and staff don’t really fit the necro theme plus I play a power build anyway.

I’m not sure on which to go for, obviously axe is less common than dagger but also worse than dagger for necros, I will wait until the feature patch before i even make anything just in hope that axe might get a cleave (doubtful) but for now i’d like to get your opinions?

thanks

You might also want to consider waiting until they announce their future plans in regards to Legendaries. They might add new ones in, and different means of acquiring them (I wouldn’t expect this to be in the feature patch, but they might still start talking about it at around that time).

But well, the most fitting weapon skins can mostly be found among the Exotic skins – many of which are actually “rarer” than Legendaries in the sense that people want to show off by getting a Legendary rather than an unique exotic skin.

Yes, there are some really beautiful Exotic mystic forge skins, for example the Anomaly focus i want for my Ele or the Conjured weapon skins

Just give greatsword to necromancer so i can use twilight.

warhorn legendary is nice on necro

I went with the warhorn. Seeing as I just dont need the axe anymore.

How To:
-Create dat childish “legendary” staff
-Get The Crossing staff
-Transmog The Crossing skin over legendary’s skin
-Enjoy Necro true legendary staff with customizable stats

I like this idea.

The necro have access to great Exotic skins, but for the Legendary is a bit harder. The focus Adam, the Scepter Eye of Rodgort or Lidless Eye, and the Staffs Final Rest, Deathwish or The Crossing. They all fit much better the Necromancer than most legendary. Which is a shame. I hope the Necromancer will get a bit of love in the next batch of legendary weapons.

IMO frostfang fits necro well. They do have some icey spells and triats and frostfang just adds to it + life blast has a little ice affect with frostfang.

Frostfang has very very cool effects on necro. Looks amazing. Only problem is, it’s still the necro axe…. yea…

Howler or incinerator.

Are you referring to to the legendary Scepter and staff not fitting the necromancer? or in general? Because Your wording makes that sentence a bit confusing to read. If it is the legendary you are referring to, well the legendary dagger couldn’t be farther from the necromancer’s theme if it tried. not that it really matters. You can get what you want.

My suggestion though would be to wait until after they add the new legendary weapons.

Screw the necro theme, FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest, none of the legendaries fit the necro theme, the only one i would think would be twilight, which cant be wielded due to being a great sword.

The whole cosmic sword thing is pretty far from the necromancer theme. They are fairly down to earth. A Cosmic sword fits the mesmer far better. But honestly, it doesn’t really matter.

Also, the Axe does fit the necro’s theme rather well. Considering much of necromancy in GW lore involves ice. More so if you follow the human lore of necromancy.

Never really got into Guild Wars lore, 7 years + of warcraft lore(dont worry…quit 14 months ago) and you get burnt out on other game lore. I might some day, as long as its not like the current living story…

I always think of necro themes as the more generic necro, dark and deathly. You’re right in saying twilight is more cosmic but its definitely has the dark part down.

Never liked the Necro Axe, its only real use is #2 and #1 is so pitiful and its not even a cleave. Axe is used to generate death shroud, thats about it.

The legendary trident is pretty necro-y. Not that anyone gets legendary underwater weapons, though.

ähm….

yes, i rarely get to use it, but it looks simply amazing. and in my opinion it’s the only necroish legendary by far. whorn would be cool too without the stupid snake on it.

Pfft. I just finished kraitkin the other day. Never gonna get to use it but still worth it.

If you run the DS Power Build – Frostfang is the nice idea.
If yuo run the Dagger Power build – might consider Howler.

Either way the underwater Legendaries look pretty nice – both the Kamohoali and Kraitkin.

I loved Kraitkin when I made it. Then I made KK. I now regret making Kraitkin. If you make a water leg. for necro, go with Kamohoali. On crit animation procs on most of the weapon skills, including death shroud skills. Shark projectile LB finishing with the shark chomp crit? GTFO if you think you can top that.

Oh thats fine. I really liked the GW1 lore. Human lore is extremely rich if you dig far enough. Never got into the Warcraft lore. Just didn’t interest me. But, to each their own.

The axe defiantly could use some improvements. However, I don’t see it as useless. It does have a aoe boon removal that cripples. Which isn’t bad at all. Even without the retaliation. I don’t think the weapon needs to cleave in order to be good. Maybe have a trait that makes it cleave but beyond that I don’t think its honestly needed.

The necromancer’s first cleaving weapon should be a melee weapon. Such as a mace or scythe(for when arena net finally caves.)

That’s like giving necro a hammer. It just doesn’t work.

I think you just lack creativity. Mesmers shoot pink laser beams from extreme range with the greatsword – it’s easily possible to think of cool ideas for necromancers to channel magic through a greatsword or hammer.

COUGH ARCHDIVINER COUGH

Someone tell Traherne (Necro) that he shouldn’t be using a Great Sword then.

trahearne is not a necro (despice the wiki description), he is just annoying…

He is a necromancer. He raised a bunch of flesh golems with necromancy on one of the personal story missions.

But hes still annoying :P

Anybody take a look at the Exotic Mace called “Kevin”?

Would love for my neco
