The Necro has always felt lower on the dps meter to me as well, that’s actually why I stopped playing for a long time. I got really excited for the elite specs, but I have to agree with Ren, our speed shouldn’t only come from Reaper.
The greatsword should become the heavy hitting weapon of the class, but as a caster class we shouldn’t lose speed or mobility to achieve it. The Mesmer greatsword is heavy hitting but also still fast.
