You should aim for Ascended Weapon + Trinkets. The stat gain from armor is really tiny, so you can skip over it without missing much.
Necromancer is THE single class not used in organized group play. Nothing in that regard has changed since launch
Any reason… why none of that has changed? Seems odd to let something flounder that long.
Necros may be the worst PvE class for dungeons, but unless you are going for a speed run record, class composition doesn’t matter much. All classes are able to contribute in clearing the Pve content.

Necros are integral to a proper WvW comp.
They’re also decent in Spvp, just outshined by some classes that are currently over the top. It’s only in Pve where they struggle.
How is Zerker the laziest way to do things?
I can run full clerics on my guard and just facetank and fully heal up in all of the dungeons just spamming 1. With zerker I actually have to dodge and position and use my defensive abilities.
I find it funny how when the top EU and NA GvG teams fought in an unofficial and unsponsored gvg, it had a comparable number of viewers to the official Esports tournament Anet had to bribe people with precursors to watch.
Nades are very bad until you reach lvl 80 and get the grenadier trait.
Bomb auto attack and rifle 3 and 5 is the simplest and highest damage you can get at your level.

All about dat E-sports brah
Our server called it W(est) K(eep), EK, and Garry.
I suspect most use Bay and Hills. Other variations I’ve heard include Left and Right keep, 270 degree and 90 degree keep, Democrat and Republican keep, Obama and Bush keep.
Top EU gvg team comes to NA to show us how its done, gets rekt, /gdisbands soon after.
You have to range auto attack them to try to sniff out their real position since they are not where they appear on your screen. Even then you can’t stomp though, but can still damage them.
Happens a lot in wvw too, even to the npc supply dolyaks.
Probably the same dev that wanted to charge us 300g per color of commander tag.
You should gain points per kill only when you have the outnumbered buff. Gives the outnumbered server at least a chance to get something without giving the dominating server the ability to further dominate the score.
The guys not even siege trolling right.
You need to drop trebs.
Does it matter when the patch is released?
You won’t be able to play it regardless with all the bugs that pop up in the first 24 hrs.
You can’t even get a good bag farm from Eotm. After wiping the terribad zergs in there around 2 times, they bail out of that Eotm instance to jump into another one.
We are getting a guild from TC soon. However we need more in order to get us back into T1.
So once again we have more broken world events.
Did nothing get learned from the penultimate Scarlet event that also was broked?
The first TOL viewer count plummeted after they gave away their free precursor. It ended up with around ~1600 viewers from 4 k viewers.
To give a comparison, the completely unsupported “violating my gamemode” wvw gvg between the top NA and EU teams pulled in comparable viewers.
Our server has recently absorbed in four of DB’s guilds with three of Maguuma’s top guilds in the process of transferring. However we require more in order to return to our glory days of fighting JQ in T1. Join us in our quest to balance the state of wvw.

The overwhelming negative response to your topic should tell you what the community feels about the situation.
The hardest to fight theif build as an engi is the perplex p/d condi cheese thieves.
Should prob go to SoS. FA has some queues during NA while SoS is relatively light during that time period.
For two years we have been getting the “stuck” bug where you are unable to do any actions after spending supply in some siege. Yes there are easy ways to break out of it, but it is still very annoying and jarring.
We have a 50 man queue in MAG BL and yet no one can get in. Meanwhile FA has free reign in there.
GG Anet. TY for moar SCARLET though.
A lot of RET merged with TG.
Engis are incredibly vulnerable to immob spam, cc, and focus fire along with necros. Also their downstate is the worst in the game which makes them one of the eisier targets to train down and finish.
Rifle #1 spam outdamages FT 1 spam to tell you how bad off FT dmg is.
One door Anet will release Door Tonics, then NNK/TFV will be up for some open field fights.
This unsupported game mode pulled comparable viewers to Anets official esportz tournament that they had to bribe people to watch with precursors.
Anet priorities.
The unsupported “violating my game mode” GvG from Saturday pulled comparable viewers to the esportz tournament that Anet had to bribe people to watch with precursors.

You can run w/e you want for PVE. Its easy enough that you can run trait less and still succeed.
To run it efficiently however, it requires the use of kits (specifically bombs and/or trait ed grenades).
Last thing we need is more passive AI spam.
You don’t get any better at fights by using open field siege but some people just need to use it as a crutch.
An engi in wvw today tried to use flamthrower to hit us from behind the gate. We stacked retal and he insta downed himself. Was p cute.
VR is looking for a few more dedicated Warriors, Mesmers, and Necros (even an engineer). If you’re interested send me a mail in game.
Underwater got removed from spvp so devs don’t care anymore.
Norn Snowleopard.
Coming soon to a Gemstore near you.

I think this video sums up everything wrong with warrior tankiness and mobility.
Engi’s dont need more weapons, Thats what kits are for.
So what you are saying is that kits or gtfo…what about all of the other utilities they have? How often do you hear of gadget engineers? Heck even turret engineers run with a kit.
The way engineers are set up at the moment requires them to have at least 1 kit on them at all times. if not more. That seriously limits their build options. Having access to some melee skills would be nice especially if they can use some of their other utilities and actually trait with those in mind rather than “trait for kit first”. Especially considering all the players who keep crying for melee only. and melee is the best. Engineers get tool kit for melee. That takes up a utility slot. and tool kit is stupidly slow damage wise. On the terms of hammer guardian slow. The guardian gives protect to all(up to 5? I forget.), damage to enemies around in the symbol and potentially healing if traited, where tool kit gives a weak vulnerability and a bunch of situational defensive/support skills.
In short engineers need a standard melee weapon to go to that actually doesn’t rely on their utility slots to open up more viable builds.
I’m a warrior. I’ll trade you my mace for your flamethrower.
Take it.
Enjoy your garbo weapon.
Flamethrower does significant damage when built for it (Its a power based weapon not condi just fyi) yet compared to other options it is lackluster. Bomb and Grenade kits come to mind (when traited for).
Flamethrower has a 1.5 dmg coefficient over a 2.5 s channel. Thats a .6 coefficient a second. Rifle #1 from engi has a .65 coefficient. So you’re literally better off just spamming rifle 1 than FT.

Even better would be get rid of PPT
Regardless of whatever balancing philosophies is done, it is always flawed from the get go due to balancing being centered around standing on a circle.
One of your kits is probably flagged as a “staff” weapon.
Just like killing something in a Golem in WvW is counted towards your hammer mastery.
i like how literally this entire thread is a bunch of pvp heroes and theres like zero pve balance discussion
All classes can spam 1 equally as effective in the zerg clusterkitten of their living world releases. So no problems there.
When Mesmer fall trait was bugged and did 40k damage, I would repeatedly abuse it on Khylo because lulQA.
Dying in game should make you die irl.
The game is already perfectly balanced. The devs just want people to realize that as soon as we all roll warriors, all balance problems are nonexistent.
Engineer Big Ol Bomb chained with an Elixer X Tornado should give you the biggest single target spike of them all.
