Guild Wars 2

If WoP gives you 3 seconds of blur, and you can use two of them because of the f5, and you can lower its CD significantly with alacrity – if you stack 5 mesmers, can you not get near permanent blur for your entire party? Does anything go through blur?

I know this is not that relevant for PvP, but it sounds like it can significantly impact the new raids/fractals.

Swiftly.2385:

Their Elite should have been called MageTank. Ridiculous how tanky and how much damage they are doing. It’s like the next Cele Ele

It is funny how the necro community just like the ele one are defending their broken spec and claim its alright when it is not. This needs to be fixed before release since otherwise it will stay in the meta for a year like cele ele. I hope to see nerfs as soon as the next BWE.

Ithilwen.1529:

Actually altruistic healing is quite limited since it’s procc’d by healing others. So the icd is effectively the cd of your shouts.

So that’s not a valid argument.

Indeed, reapers just spam their healing on every swing of their weapon, giving them a lot of sustain. Way more than they should have, if you ask me.

I agree. Blighter’s Boon needs a 2 sec ICD, the might gen on auto needs a 1 sec ICD, and things should be better.

It pretty much says it in the title. the amount of sustain you gain as a reaper is insane and needs to be toned down. As it stands, a reaper with a tanky amulet can sustain a great deal of punishment, and pop into RS right before you are about to deal the lethal bow.
There it heals back up to 60-70*, before going out and repeating. I have not seen such a high-sustain, high-pressure build since old hambow.

Giving the trait an ICD of a second or two should allow the Reaper to sill keep its sustain strong, but prevent it from being over the top.

The changes we got do not look too shabby, but when compared to the ones other classes got? I do not know, guys. I do not think people will be seeing much necro play in PvP. I do not think they can compete.
