well torment does not do much damage if you don’t move, and confusion is useless unless you use a skill. my advice, stand still and don’t use any skills

So you ate sling him to die without putting a fight?

Shield skill block while waiting for torment and confusion to end, staying stationary?

Completely gut necromancers unique mechanic, and it’s only, rather meagre defence, instead of reversing the unnecessary buffs they got after Season 1? How about removing the buffs they shouldn’t have got, and maybe toning down chill a bit?

Does this mean that if someone botted they get to keep everything?
Absolutely not, in most cases we are attempting to remove what we can before the player returns. However, there are just going to be some things we can’t remove.

“just going to be some things that we can’t remove”.

If this was a ban wave for the winters day jumping puzzle, that means that each of the banned accounts would have a total of around 20 items specifically that would need removal (that is if they were opening the gift loot at all). Most probably weren’t doing that, so there is only 1 item that needs to be removed from the accounts.
Your choice of words in this simple case tells me there’s going to be a solid spike of activity in Wintersday Present trading come early June.

Is it possible they could have sold a chunk of the presents ‘earned’ by botting, therefore requiring anet to try and figure out exactly how much gold they need to remove from the account.

It’s a QQ thread.

As far as I know, for the already (partly) revealed elite, Necro and Guardian will have their mechanisms replaced, for Mesmer a new button is added and Ele might choose whether overdrive or not.

I am not saying the new Reaper Shroud is bad, as I am actually looking forward for it (and farming for zerker). What makes me feel strange is that, it’s like I must be dedicated in melee once I spec the Reaper path, which is a bit different with the “add-up” for Ele and Mesmer.

So my little (?) suggestion is that, if it is possible to have a F2 button for Reaper Shroud, and retain the F1 button for original Death Shroud?

To avoid imba (thought it might be imba already), both share the same Life Force bar is a must. In addition, same button will have CD according to the skill used, for example, if you use DS2, both DS2 and RS2 go for 15 sec CD; on the other hand, after using RS2, both DS2 and RS2 have 6 sec CD. For some trait works on RS, I’m not sure if it would be OP to work on DS, well +20% attack speed for DS1 seems nice, but hey since we don’t have RS in water, so I guess ANet can deal with it with the same idea.

I’m not sure if it is needed or just for fun, but sure it gives us more choice like, if you really needs a CC at that moment, instead of RS3 > RS2 jump in > RS3 again for fear, DS2’s doom will be a better choice (with much more distance!); or like I don’t need to change my trait so I can shoot Teq or some dragon with DS1 far away.

Oh it might be unfair to Guardian if we have this change, so simply give them a F4 button to swap between version of virtue can be a solution, and with the share CD system should be OK, as both version of passive seems to be the same and shouldn’t matter much.

F1 DS, F2 RS. Sounds completely fair, so long as you can’t go from DS→RS/RS→DS without exiting the shroud (and waiting the 10 sec shroud CD). Sounds completely fair, allowing you to use your life force in more than a select number of situations and to greater effect.

It does get annoying being juggled around, especially since the only way I can counter (as a necro) is to pop my elite skill with 120 second cooldown.

My main (power necro).
