Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the replies everyone, I feel like i know where we stand again now.

I made a thread asking the same exact question, it’s just below this one atm

Thanks for continuing to display a total lack of interest/understanding/care in Necromancer. Thanks also for punishing the regular Necros in yet another attempt to nerf the 7 people left who still use Dumbfire, rather than just retiring the skill entirely because you STILL refuse to acknowledge that Dumbfire is a failure.

It’s been one and a half years and we are still being screwed over. Please fix Necro. PLEASE.

Thanks for the long reply, really interesting and informative read.

Hahah I also enjoy seeing that we run the same weapons! I remember being told that it was only either axe/focus or dagger/warhorn but I found dagger/focus to be really fun. Especially discovering I could be a viable solo threat in WvW once I’d mastered the Dagger 3 → Focus 4 → Spam Dagger 1 strategy

Yeah actually I’ve finally finished rereading all the patch notes. There was a brief period where it looked like we might finally be getting some positive attention but then the Winter’s Day patch…I’m just utterly amazed. Buffing mesmer and nerfing necro? Now? After the game has been out for like a year and a half? I’m honestly finding it difficult to understand how the devs are still openly playing favourites and repeating the “kitten kitten YOU’RE AN ATTRITION CLASS” nonsense.

Thanks for the reply. Good news, seeing as I’m a power necro I have 3 further question for you:

What do you mean by Vamp is a “weirdly fine line” ?

I can see from your sig you’ve got a warrior as well, have there been any major changes to them?

Finally, has something actually changed in condi-stripping in WvW? Because when I was playing, near-instant stripping was not even slightly an exaggeration. You’d get like 2 seconds of ticks and then they’d strip.

EDIT: *4 further questions, what do you mean by axe and daggers are no longer the necessary power weapons? what else is there?

Thanks again

I last played when Evon Gnashblade and The Other Candidate were competing for election. Since then there looks to have been some serious necro changes.

So my question is, do we still suck?

When I last played the general consensus was:

Vampiric Necromancer – unplayable

Minion Necromancer – unplayable

‘Power’ Necromancer (berzerker gear + axe/double dagger) – OK

Conditionmancer – Great for PVP, useless for WvW because everyone can just strip conditions instantly

Anything else – unplayable

Is this still the case?

Same problem
