Guild Wars 2

It would outshine most other condi runes if it kept it stacks. I like the idea of runes you need to activly keep up, just not by getting hit.

I just wanted to point out that rune of thorns has kind of a bad design, it requires you to take damage to get the stacking condition damage buff. I think it puts the user in an awkward position where they might not want to be avoiding attacks just so that they can get the most out of their build.
Instead of giving the extra condition damage when you are hit how about getting the condition damage when you hit a poisoned foe or when you apply poison to a foe?
Thoughts?

2 sec of stab every 3 sec constantly from a signet would be very broken and you dont even need to activate anything to get stab

Tbh i did alot of puging in fractals 50 on my condi necro in EU and never had any issues with being kicked or people telling me to relog.

But i have noticed alot more necros in lfg now so that is cool

TheLastNobody.8319:

Axe 2, steals 1 boon per strike and gives it to you. Each boon taken gives you life force. Say….4%? 2% per strike if no boons?

That would be increadibly borken.

A good start would to just increase the range to 900 (or even 1200) and see how it goes from there, damge would still be lacking imo but the range struggle for power builds would have been addressed

So after stats got removed from traitlines and gear stats increased no gear with boon durnation (or condi durnation for that matter ) had those stats adjusted.

Is it an oversight or is building for boon durnation being so heavily limited on purpose? Because i hope not.

well thats the flavor of the line, finishing them off when they get low. Fits very well into the idea of the necromancer becoming more powerful as their target weakens.
I like it as it is.

I think this issue just reflects the fact that Life Blast is too slow. If it had a decent attack speed this trait would be very worth while.

So if I could design 1 new rune to be added right now it would be a rune identical to Rune of the Undead except instead of having toughness as a secondary stat and having the attribute conversion be from toughness it would use precision.
That way I could get the most out of Target the Weak and it would make Sinister as good of an option as Rabid for high condition damage builds.
I am also just kinda bored with rabid in general.
I just wish I could have it….

CratZ.6270:

coco nerf still ruining everything for me, If only there was a viable alternative.

please dont call it “coco”…

Whining people into giving you what you want is a terrible thing.
The necro forums are probobly the most negative proffession forums on here and I dont think it is because necromancer is so bad now but because early on necros had alot of bugs that did not get fixed for a long time so that created a very toxic enviorment.
The necro forums are probobly the least looked at by the balancers because of how extreamly unreasonable most people here seem to be.

nekretaal.6485:

Wait for anet to reveal the internal cool down on the signet trait before you get excited.

Signet of the locust is not going to be an AoE path of Corruption.

If the internal cool down is too high (more than 5 seconds) the build won’t work.

Signets already have high cooldowns so I doubt they’ll add an icd on Signets of Suffering

I don’t really think there is reason to nerf lich form durnation (again) because staying in lich form makes you very vulnurable to focus fire and you often dont want to use the full durnation of the transform (in PvP atleast).
I think lich is such a flavorfull and cool skill for necros to have but the durnation on it is getting pathetic.

it puts the “Transfer” into “Life Transfer”

It is ofcourse very frustrating that CC is getting nerfed but keep in mind that it was probobly the strongest healing skill across any proffession so I am not surprised to see it take a hit. It is still going to be very viable even with 5 second longer cd.
There is alot of power creep coming to the necro like the other classes and sacrifices must be mde in the name of balance.

Captain Unusual.9163:

Only problem with Plague becoming a corruption is that it doesn’t inflict a condition on yourself, which is literally the only thing the corruption skills have in common.

My expectation is that Plague will become a Well skill, since it pulses an effect in an AoE.

Corruption spells have it incommon to all deal with conditions, plague could easily have a self influcted condition added to it or just be the exemption since it is the elite.
I am pretty sure plague will be corruption and lich spectrak, just fits the themes.

Dadnir.5038:

Ice Furl.4982:

I would like to spec into reaper for the chill traits on a condi build but the new shroud does not seem to have much use on a condition spec. I want to see some bleeds and torment in reaper’s shroud but I think it is very unlikley they will be added.

You’ll have a lot of burn (dhumfire) which will be a stackable condition, poison and bleed (Barbed precision). You’ll still have fear and a bit of chill doing damage…

True but I am still sad that reaper has no access to torment

I would like to spec into reaper for the chill traits on a condi build but the new shroud does not seem to have much use on a condition spec. I want to see some bleeds and torment in reaper’s shroud but I think it is very unlikley they will be added.

Cylokin.2560:

Jekkt.6045:

scythe is 300 range so it’s only normal that it’s bigger than a 180 range weapon lol.

It would be great if it had 300 range, but tooltip says 170 range on first two attacks of the chain and 220 on the third…

Thats just a bit more range than guardian mh sword auto attack but still its more than twice the length of the character, makes sense….

Chill damage will scale off boon durnation like all other conditions after HoT

Jagged horrors that dont degen health, recasting rise would kill off all existing jagged horrors and resummon a new one for each tarfet hit (maybe then they should not trigger death nova when rise is recast for balance reasons)

It just looks comical right now its so big

Ofcourse warriors are getting the defiance bar, dont lie to yourself

The way i’d like to have seen it done is mark aoe larger by default and then 2 seperate traits made from the existing traits that affect staff placed in the same line and one of those 2 new merged traits would also have an effect that is not only relevant to staff so that there are not 2 traits in the same line exclusive to 1 weapon

GreyWraith.8394:

The engineer version should turn people into a super adventure box Monkey.

That would be alot better, its really lame how they pull from the other professions for the engineer and make everyone feel a little less unique instead of just giving them their own stuff

Ravezaar.4951:

Condi Necro got Nerfed saying its NOT is a lie

Yup it got nerfed in quite a big way and it got nothing instead that can really make up for it

Not only are we now forced to lose either lingering curse or terror from our builds wich will lower our condition damage yet again, the second and first tier also have a trait each that way outshines the others (Lingering Curse and Weaking Shroud) so there wont be much build diversity in the curses line appart from in tier 3

I got the same problem, guess our money is not good enough for them

IEximius.9204:

They could’ve had my money if they made it an armor skin instead of an outfit…but I was willing to settle for this one, just once…

but then they decided to exclude the anise shoulders, and substituted the skirt with some poofy buttpiece? Are we some sort of exotic bird or something? seriously?

I have no clue what the reasoning behind that one is, but that is absolutely ugly so I will not be wearing this .

Exactly, I was so excited for this armor but then they removed the pants for an ugly skirt and also removed the gloves so now this armor is ruined for me and I wont be spending my money on it. I would pay good money for thet original Aniese outfit though

I just wanted to post the simple but elegant look I have on my necromancer for a out of combat outfit before it will be gone forever

I submited a support ticket like you guys suggested. Like i said earlier i have never had this happen to me before but i hope there is some way to fix the problem of people doing this because it is really annoying.

i agree, its really frustraiting to have these ppl end up in your matches (which happens alot more often late at night when fewer ppl are playin), they can ruin the match for everyone else and its not like its gonna be fun for them to get yelled at and die constantly. There should be a minimum rank to enter tournaments, I think 15 or 20 would be nice.

So I am pretty kitten ed right now, I was doing CoE with a group that i found on the LFG system and I got kicked out of the group right before I could get my reward for doing the path. I did not write down any of the names of the people with me in the group, find them in the chatlog or remeber them of the top of my head but I would be very happy if someone would take the time for me to look at the chatlogs to see who these people ware and teach them a little lesson for me (check around 23:25 gmt 17.11.2013).
I noticed 3 of them ware in the same guild so they might have been going to invite their friend in my spot, I have seen people complain about others doing that before but it has never happend to me and I have been pugging alot since day 1.
I would also like to make the suggestion that it would be nice to be able to see who you ware in a party with recently like you could in GW1.
Thanks

I really like my guardian for dungeons, I am pretty much unkillable on him while putting out decent dmg. I also love my mesmer and your team will love you for bringing Time Wrap but if I could only bring one of them into dungeons I would pick my guardian.
Me and my firend have duo’ed all the paths in AC, TA and CM, me on my guardian and my firend as an ele. We have also done done some paths in SE and HotW and plan on doing more sometime in the future.
So yea I defenetly recomend guardian for dungeons

Hi,
My status is stuck on invisible, if i open my friend list and set myself to online I get the notification in the chat window that my presence status has been changed to online but I am still stuck on invisible, people cant whisper me and I cant talk in guild chat.
A really big issue and I need it fixed as fast as possible.
Thanks.

Make you firend delete some old mails they have, not mails from hearts or other npc’s but from actual people, there is a bug that causes the mailbox to fill up with fewer letters than it is ment to. If that works they should get the gold instantly after deleting the old mail they had.

I guess that could be possible since my old one was mildly offensive.

Edit: “Lucifer” is not censored by chat filters and it is possible to make characters with “Lucifer” in their names which just makes this even more bizzare for me.

Hi,
So odly enough my display name has been changed from “Lucifer.6849” to “Ice Furl.4982”. I just noticed the changed a few minuites ago while queing for a tournament. My old display name still shows up on my guild roaster but the new one is both on my friend list UI and here on the forums. I did not ask for my display name to be changed and i did not choose this new one, I even had to look up “Furl” in a dictionary to know if it was a real word (which it is).

Edit: I originally posted this thread in bugs but it got moved here where I saw this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Display-name-changed-1 , guess the same thing happend to me.

I just want to point out that the Scythe Staff Skin has had a similiar problem for months without being fixed. You can see how the effect lines up in this old thread I made in December, https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Scythe-Staff-Skin/

I have had it trigger on my my jagged horror almost every time i have fought Lupus, last time yesterday but fourtunetly we had a warrior up close to take care of it before they got consumed

I found quite alot of bots in Cursed Shore on underworld server at 06:46 gmt
I took a screen of the are with the UI turned off so you can’t see their names but I could not even get them all into the frame.

I belive it is black and dark olive

I agree, currently they look very dull

I would go male charr and give him some wicked armor with the t3 cultural mask and a sick looking staff like The Crossing or Deathwish

So a while ago I got the scythe staff skin for my necro and first when I got it I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread but when I use staff skills the scythe effect does not stack on top of the scythte on the staff and looks really ugly.
I really hope that it gets fixed so that the effect goes on top of the scythe blade on the staff because this staff is otherwise awesome for necros.

The weapon set I use by far most in PvP is scepter/dagger and for a secondary set I usually bring staff for a rupt, chill, team condition removal and just some area control alothough I use the s/d set alot more. I dont usually bring ant LF traits but I often bring Signet of Undeath for the quick res. Feast of corruption on the scepter can be decent for gaining LF but it is just not enough.
In PvP I use deathshroud for the fear rupt, chill, waiting for my heal or condition removals to come of cd, soak up big attacks or just a panic button. I like to think I don’t use deathshroud in the way you mentioned and I have seen so many do.
Before Blood is Power got changed I always brought it for PvP because it was great at keeping my LF up (I still use it quite alot for the might though but I liked it better before).
I never really use spectral armor because of the ridiclous cd and spectral walk I mostly use for the swiftenss or teleport but I don’t really think it is worth sacrificing a utility slot for in most cases.
Like I said before, in PvE i generally don’t have problems keeping my LF up because of all the deaths around me and there I also use staff more than I do in PvP so that also helps.
As for gaining back health which is a bigger problem to me at the moment I just really think necros lack regenartion avalible to them making them surprisingly bad in sustained fights which are ment to be their speciality.
I think necros have the best heal in the game though, Consume Conditions, because it has a big heal, removes all condtions and has a short cooldown.

So this has been irking me for a while in PvE but even more so PvP. I can’t gain health back well enough to last a sustained fight.
I also have alot of experiance as a guardian, mesmer and elemetalist and I do much better in long fights with my guardian or ele because they have plenty of ways to gain back health, the mesmer is worse of then the necro imo but that is ok because they can do some pretty hevy spiking and have great ways of escaping.
I also think that the necro’s big health pool makes this problem even worse.
On slightly different note I have problems gaining lifeforce for sustained fights unless I focus my skills and/or traits alot on gaining LF. I don’t often run out of LF in PvE because there are always plenty of deaths but in PvP matches, especially 1v1 fights there obviosly are not deaths around me to keep my LF pool up.
Anyone agree/disagree with me on this because I have not seen other threads discussing this and I would also like to see if you have any good builds that can last sustained fights.
Thanks

That was pretty interesting to see although I had noticed myself that thiefs ware by far the most popular. I have also noticed that in high end PvP thiefs seem to be the most popular.
There are good reasons for why people use thiefs so much and I am just sick of other players and developers telling me that thiefs don’t have balance issues when they obviosly do.

Fix your bugs arenanet!
I dont care if there are other threads on this subject, you have had MORE THAN ENOUGH time to fix how it is not possible to join your group again after a dc in the fractals. I am mothakittening pissed right now because I just spent over an hour doing a high difficulty fractial just to lose my connection for a moment and not being able to rejoin my group right before we finish.
And this thread is also not just about the fractals but I am just really frustraded by how you ignore major bugs for a long time that should be a top prioraty like for example Arah not being open for months on many servers.
I really hope you take a hour or two or however long it takes to fix these bugs that have been annoying the hell out of me and many others.
