that’d be hilarious if necro was even more hated in groups now. I wonder if you can blackmail people with it
None of the other classes’ condi builds are going to survive us.
Mallyx revenant says hi.
Boon corruption says bye to your resistance.
Go ahead, i will get my resistance back up in 2 seconds. Embrance the darkness can be casted endlessly in/out as you wish, granting you basically perma resistance, so what if you corrupt my 2sec of resistance when i get it back up in 1sec?
Do you have enough boon strip to keep up?
It’s not exactly like you can spam it as many times as you want. Energy will play a big role here.
Embrance the darkness has no energy cost. Its an upkeep skill (which drains energy olny if you stay in this form), in which case if you keep casting it in/out you will stay at 100% energy. I have played in “closed beta” and tested it.
People missunderstand the concept behing Mallyx either way. Resistance is not there to tank conditions like a boss, its just there to nullify a bit of incoming damage and reduce the harm done to yourself. Any mallyx rev stacking resistance is asking to get rekt by 1 boonstrip. There will be a huge gap between noob and pro.
My bad, sounds fun actually

i told you guys that we were kittened! what’s said is that even the fix Karl came up with sucks, so instead of scrapping that garbage trait (as they should), they are keeping the garbage, just making it not smell as bad, it’s still kittening garbage, seriously kitten the Anet balance people and how kittening bias they are against Necros. this kitten makes me want to not even play this kittening game, we shouldn’t have to be fighting the kittening devs for partity FFS!!!!
Anet get your kitten together and do right by Necros and stop with your niche, hey this my be a cool concept garbage and give us EFFECTIVE traits and skills already!!!!!
You know, if you quit they still have your money and you don’t cost them a dime anymore. I think they’d love that
Just FYI Guys Karl said on the stream that they are most likely changing the bleed on plague to a 1 stack 10 second bleed on activation with no re activation
Now that’s a sad panda.
They could at least give us a day of fun with that!
Well, he did not say that change would be live tomorrow :’)
Just FYI Guys Karl said on the stream that they are most likely changing the bleed on plague to a 1 stack 10 second bleed on activation with no re activation I guess the stream paid off.
Well, IF they finally fixing the kitten AI, I agree with you. As long as the chances our minions do what they are supposed to are 50% or lower… Nope, not happening. Sadly.
Why does everyone have to exaggerate all the time on these forums. Sure it does happen frequently but the frequency is more 10% of the time, not 50%.
Take it as a horde you don’t fully control like Daenerys and her dragons. Even with the current AI it’s still more than ok and minion dps is acceptable (or else there would be no MM)
I was theorycrafting this morning and playing around with the new traits to see how I can play my condi necro from next week and while I understand signets of suffering IS powerful I found an alternative I liked a lot more and that I think can be borderline OP (minus the escapes and the speed because heh, we’re still necros).

Basically you gear as a rabid necro for ++ crits for target the weak + on crit proc sigils.
Traits:
Curse
Plague sending – If you stack 3 or more condis on you, send them back in your next attack, nice auto condi transfer to have
Path of corruption – nice to add pressure
Lingering curse – the build relies on very long bleeds as its main source of damage, I know about condi clears etc but if you add the minions + the bleeds + the new chillbrain etc you still get stuff down and long bleeds also counter short duration resistance as they play on time rather than burst.
Death magic
Flesh of the master – good to keep minions around longer, jagged horrors are also great with the next trait
Necromantic corruption – VERY powerful trait. +25% DMG on minions is nothing to sneeze at but the really powerful part is the condi transfer part. This means you get a lot of condi clear but also that minions are the most powerful in condi spec with this trait now as the direct hits are affected by the minion’s attack while conditions are affected by your condi damage.
Another interesting thing is the AOE condi application. Imagine you have 5 minions and you hit a burning field, each minion has 3 secs of burning on them (say 2 by the time they transfer it.)
4/5 minion hit the target in the next second, that’s 4 stacks of burning on the target because they EACH push 1 stack back. Nice little burst.
Death Nova – If your minions die from the condition they also spike direct damage and stack 2-3 stacks of poison which can be quite a bit of damage with the new formulas. Not to mention 20% reuse is baseline now.
blood magic
Blood Bond – With condi spec 4 bleeds is super easy meaning every 26 seconds you a free signet of vampirism to heal you AND your minion + spike extra dots because signet of vampirism is a like leech with a 200+ dmg/hit. Think about when there is 5-6 minions hitting the target plus you auto attacking with the scepter every half second.
vampiric presence
New trait but I hope it works on Minions so they heal themselves constantly while hitting the target, allowing them to handle damaging conditions they transfer (plus it heals you and possibly your allies)
unholy martyr
Not the most powerful trait but nice condi generator for your minions to take and transfer back(plus group support) and life force generator if you need to tank a bit in death shroud. Minions death are your main lf generator so you don’t have much but that helps you stay in DS if you want to.
All of this without mentioning things like minions healing you constantly, mark of evasion for more condi pressure and minion healing, no ally bleeding out around you in downstate and almost 1/3 protection uptime with beyond the veil.
I think that can compete quite well in PVP, especially with little things like sigil of frailty now that vuln affects conditions too.
LMK if I’m wrong
But probably it will be more than 35€… we all know the $ to € conversion is 1:1 for anet.
Yeah, that will be a little european thing called VAT. Blame governments not Arena Net.
Chilling nova is actually the key factor to keeping a high chill uptime.
It’s effectively a chill only epidemic which runs 3 times every 10 seconds. A traditional ICD would actually be more effective for keeping constant chill (for example ICD 3s etc), instead of the more likely burst of AOE chill that the x3 every 10sec will do (depending on crit chance), but I’m not complaining there.
It is important to note that using nova means not taking Augory, which significantly weakens the potential strength of using the shouts.
On the flip side, running Augory significantly effects your ability to maintain AOE chill due to the lack of chilling nova, although I honestly don’t think running multiple shouts on a condi build would be worth it anyway, but we’ll see.
I only see 2 of the shouts being desirable for a condi build, and chilling nova will be really strong if it’s combo’d with chill dealing damage, not to mention the reduced damage from chilled enemies. No contest, in my opinion.
Walk, wurm and corrupt boon are so strong I just can’t see replacing them, at this point.
Think about the synergy between chill and minions too. They don’t need to run after the enemy → more dps.
I can see a curse/death/reaper condi necro with the minions transferring condis back (and dealing +25% dmg while in tank mode)

with well of darkness/blood fiend/flesh wurm/shadow fiend (one more chill). Remember the cooldown reduce is becoming baseline on minions and wells are ground targeted too.
I wonder if conditions transfered back doubled with lingering curse.
