Guild Wars 2

Or Reaper whatever you wish to call it, lets please try to be positive. We have real all stars on the necro board like Spoj who have been keep this class alive since launch. Finally Anet gives us SOMETHING impressive but too many people are finding ways to bring it down. They barely showed anything except that there’s going to be a whole lot of offense. Can we try to be positive until tmrw atleast? Plz?

Exactly, toxic is toxic… Kudos to methane gas too.

Yeah, honestly I was fairly neutral till I saw the video, but how can anyone complain after that, it was cool as hell, included great CC, and wasn’t slow-as-balls like I thought. It looks fun so far, and it was never going to fix everything.

We have every right to be toxic. For one, we are necromancers, so toxicity is kind of our thing. But secondly, our class has been neglected for years, and is still broken. So I’ll be positive if the podcast on friday reveals big improvements to our years of complaints.

The reaper looks nice, but there are still glaring problems with our class that have not yet been addressed.

Looking cool isn’t a good trade off to what they specifically stated with be attacks that are very slow and come with long cast times/wind ups. that alone will make reaper spec all but pointless in PvP.

Kayne West looks cool, he’s still useless and bad at his job

I took you seriously until you brought up Kanye. He doesnt look cool at all but he’s great at his job and employs people so he’s not useless. you need help, badly.

No one can argue with that, hahaha. Shame on you Azure!

But great comparison. All the fancy effects in the world will not save our class, if we get wrecked in close combat because of our lack of stability, invulnerability, blocks and other damage mitigation.

I fear that I won’t feel like quite the scary slow lumbering beast of destruction that the Reaper is supposed to be, when I’m being torn to pieces by my opponents. I recon I’ll feel more like a slow lumbering bullseye.

What are you talking about? The video looks great!
Even I’m pretty excited about the change with the necro, even though it’s not my main.

I wonder if they think we play necro mainly for animations and theme? To dare to put a new animation just for dhuumfire while ignoring the core issues is…someone help me find a word O.o!!

Kanyemancers. Necyane’s?

I don’t know about that. The hand pull thing and the soaring spinny attack thingy looks slow enough that you’d have time to go and make coffee during the wind up and come back in time to dodge it.

You sure make some quick coffee. I’d suspect the quality of it since it takes so little time.

sanic the hegehog himself taught me how to make coffee

Honestly, a lot of the ones who are negative today are the same ones that were at one point positive in the past only to be let down time after time. Over the course of this game’s history Arenanet has shown a lack of transparency of necro problems. And what do they address them with? Either nerfs or subpar buffs.

But because you asked so nicely, ill try.. this one time.

LETS GO NECROS!! LETS GO!! cues claps

A true soldier

I do think its really cool im just disappointed that it doesnt address any core issue apart from mobility (lowest priority issue imo).

And i think people are still bitter and untrusting about the core specs and base classes faults. Which is completely understandable. I know i cant be fully hyped about this with the current state of the core specs and the lack of issues addressed with the elite spec.
