Ok, that is fair to say, I agree necros are harder to play than other classes.
Technically that’s not correct. Elementalist have the highest skill cap in the game. Necros and Engineers fall into the tough to play because of they don’t fill any niche. They don’t heal extremely well, they don’t burst well, but they both play fantastic attrition builds. In pve, attrition is an interesting role to fill. With the increased difficulty of dungeon and changes to avoidance Necros and Engineers may see an increase in the benefit of their playstyle.
The problem many necros face is that they want to be able to burst like other ranged, but we are more like the engineer in that we do a lot of little things well, but nothing great. I enjoy the playstyle.
Well, to be honest Engineers got a better deal in a way of burst damage, Elementalist might be a tougher class to play and be really good, but when taking same equipment and skill level Elementalist will be on top, not even taking into account different builds. Making my judgements based on having all these classes up to 80, full exotic, and played all of them in WvWvW(mostly played elementalist before D\D buff, using him after seems for me a bit of a cheat tbh).
Adding some of the burst engi got to a necro would’ve greatly helped tho)
We need a 2h Hammer, that would’ve made me play my necro even more
Well, we could say that most of bugs are tooltips error, that would be convenient, ain’t it?:D I’ve already said, that there are good builds that could be made into something with the proper skill of a player, like Shoebix build, for example. The thing is we need to do quite a job to be able to be on par with other prof, who can still pretty much do it better with same skill\equip + they can change spec and still be better. Yes, we’re great that we can pull it off, we can kill ppl and stuff, but as for me it’s a bit unfair. As to the “strength” of necromancer, I can’t see a clear concept of our strength. Well, you guys don’t seem to understand what I’m trying to say, this saddens me a great deal( I’m not some kind of a necromancer who can’t kill a single foe and whining, I’ve used many builds, with a quite success, but then I started to try other profs, and guess what – they could do it better, without getting used to our play-style. Yes, I can kill 2-3 ppl with vit\tough\pow build, but it will require more dedication to do it as a necro, I like difficult classes, but at this point it’s unnecessarily tough to get good with necro, and necro good = other class average.
Still, I’m not saying necro’s are bad, I love this class, I’ve invested god-knows how much time and gold in it, but I still wish we had a better deal.
Repeating it won’t make it true, but the thing is – it is true no matter how many times you repeat it or not. You can check out out bug list, if you’re still doubting it. As I said, that’s really great for you for making a best use of broken stuff, as for me – I like when stuff functions as it’s intended.
DS UI is a bug issue that should be fixed. No problem there…. but I dont see anything warranting a buff to the class. Sorry if you disagree. Happy that you disagree. The less people playing Necro the less people who have figured out what makes them one of the most powerful classes in the game.
There is a reason they are unique. They are not a spam #1 to win class. They are a make full use of your crazy utility and when combined with player skill and team coordination equate to enormous power… class. Sorry the truth doesnt always fit on a bumper sticker.
Well, ain’t it good for you that you know how to operate a broken class? And even so you can kill some with it, this really doesn’t cancel the fact that we’re broken and not working as intended. And I’ll repeat it again – this is a part of problem, we need no to calm anet with words like that, we need to keep pressure until they will finally fix our broken traits\scaling etc. But it’s your choice to enjoy this class atm and not complain at all, lots of weird ppl out there, I’m not here to judge you, but just to make a point that this “confidence” not helping necromancers a bit.
Negativity is contagious. Necro has a few bugs, but doesnt need buffs. Repeating statements that the class is weak doesnt make them true.
Saying it doesn’t need buff is just plain ignorant. We manage to do stuff – yes, but does it makes us LESS broken? NO. We’re still got more bugs then any other prof, if you’re OK with using unfinished stuff, like eating meat raw and all that kind of stuff it’s ok for you. But I was hoping to play my prof as it is intended to be played. Tbh I think ppl like you are postponing necro fix a great deal.
PS: Nothing personal ofc, I’m just really kitten I had really high hopes for this patch.
Good thing is to run with a group on comms, you’ll be able to use Epidemic at its finest, like starting to cast it just a second before your ally necro casting fear(as I understood, you CAN spread it with Epidemic). And Necro + Mesmer duo works wonders aswell, it’s so satisfying to see 10+ enemies with 5+ stacks of COnfusion you’ve just spread amongst them
It’s really one of the basic moves for conditionmancer.
I would like to see Greathammer added as one of the Necros weapons(Since it’s the least used weapon and only available for 2 classes to use atm). Imagine your sinister looking necro just waving a big bad hammer…that would be a life!
Well, I understood nothing.
Had almost 3k achievement points and now 2500, awesome! Add mesmer nerf to all this bs and you’ve got 1 less player. Good going anet.
@Aaron Warren: What I meant saying number 15, is that in total we’ve counted 15 unique ppl of EPIC guild who were logging off due to downed state(not in 1 group, but in 3-4 last days of our matchup).
And yes, hackers ruined scores completely.
Cheers from AG guys, you were a good server to go up against, special thanks for KISS guild(you guys gave us some of the best moments) and lotsa shame on EPIC guild of yours, 15 unique players of this guild just logging of when downed, not a good sport, should consider taking LAME as a guild name ;D
Keep up the good work rest of yall, may we see you on WvW once again)
Do it NOW!
I’m all up for having lots of fun and making enemies tremble ;D

Nice job Gandara. If you can’t beat us on the field start using bugs. Way to go!
Here’s a bit of cheering for you: Here you go, here you go, here you gooooo!
Please close the door on the way out.
Cheers
D.Stop accusing a whole server for the actions of a single player! Dont tell me you believe that this is a common strategy of Gandara and everyone on this server is begging their cheaters to go ruin the game.
Do you want to be called a cheater just because there is that one rawberry guy on Miller’s Sound who keeps flying around from time to time since almost 4 weeks now? I guess not! So just stop those unnecessary posts!
Bold words from a person, who did the same thing a while ago. Accusing whole Aurora Glade in using mesmer exploit, while in last two days of our matchup your server used multiple times to capture our Garrison we put so much effort returning from your zerg.
PS: Excuse me for Off-topic and Good Luck to Gandara and Jade Sea, we had good fun fighting you guys earlier, good sport!

@ Starfall
The thing you said about open field fighting IS insulting. I’d understand if it was 1×2 ppl ratio, but when there’s a group of 10 ppl from our side(Aurora) and 40+ppl zerg of yours there’s no speaking of actual tactics, this kind of situation is run or be steamrolled(especially minding the orb buff you’ve got, I won’t discuss the way you acquired it). Least we can do – pick some stragglers who’re trying to catch up with main group, and we’re not really bragging about it. Not really a good sport, eh? No point taking on zerg x2 sizes bigger then yours without an organized group, that is the reason you think we’re “bad” at open-field fights.
About bots, there’s always 2-3 ppl around a group of bots who are actually controlled by person and it seems like they’re protecting those bots.
You can add speed hackers from Gunnar’s Hold to all this mess, in 20 sec orb relocated from one side of the map to another, that’s really “fun” sport, keep it going!
