Guild Wars 2

if spectral grasp has the force to pull a giant 600 pound norn 1200 range, and spectral armor can reduce a huge hammer blow to the skull by 33% then clearly a necromancer’s spectral force channeled into a large wall should be able to stop a wimpy arrow midflight, especially since guardians and thieves can create walls made out of obviously weaker elements and block or even reflect projectiles. smoke? light? come on now. fix this bug anet pretty please.

I don’t know about blocking it, because blocks are obviously a mechanic necros were never meant to have, but I do think it should have a more solidifying effect on projectiles, maybe induce weakness to the attacker or something, since melee’s running through it get vulnerability. Makes sense to me. (or another condition besides weakness, but to me weakness seems perfectly viable)

Well other classes werent suppose to have fear, just saying.

Or… What if projectiles that hit the wall hurt enemies on the other side instead of you and your allies?

Genius!

Win, win, win. I hope someone from anet reads it and realises how (imo) they failed with necro design.

Reflect would be nice for Spectral Wall! even with long cool down :O
In GW1 i rarely ran from a Mele and since Necro have the habit of cutting themselves i don’t see why we have to run in circles all the time.

I enjoy running and dodging but kitten i miss Insidious Parasite so much lol ><

Good point, what is the use of a “wall” that doesn’t stop anything?

thanks for agreeing guys. while we’re at it, spectral armor should add stability. i really like spectral skills guys.

no but seriously spectral wall should block projectiles.

Good point. We have poor access to most boons and stability on S.Armor would be nice, and I agree S.Wall as tricky as it is to use effectively should at least block projectiles if not even reflect them.

Nope, sorry.

WALL OF FEAR
Spectral Wall – Create a spectral wall that protects allies and fear foes (3 sec fear)

and mesmer can trait Temporal Curtain to reflect. unless changed.

How about Spectral Wall converting all projectiles into Spectral Energy, granting you… Life Force? Maybe Retaliation?

This is an idea I can get behind!!!

interesting. block projectiles, convert into life force. what a marvelous idea! could we get an anet developer in here please?

So many wonderful ideas to making a bad skill awesome!

Guys, I also had some nice ideas so take a look
