Guild Wars 2

This is an old topic, the search is your friend. Here is an overview.

1. No melee cleave — this means that Necromancers don’t work well with the guardian stack n cleave meta for clearing dungeon trash and some bosses. Also on huge bosses it is possible to hit 2 hit boxes with a cleaving attack and do double damage. This means that your necromancer literally does half damage compared to other classes.

2. Bad power/zerker damage scaling, conditions underpowered to begin with and condition cap makes them worse.

2a. Terrible ranged damage with staff (and staff marks don’t hurt a lot of bosses).

3. Bad group support.

3a. Bad fields, almost no finishers.

4. Minion AI issues.

Is it really as bad as all this? My friends and I recently came back to the game with the intent mainly of doing the PvE content. I’ve been loving my Necromancer so far, but this is sad to hear.

Since the previous patch I have been getting this issue constantly, every time I play.

I have searched every single forum thread relating to this and googled the problem 50 different ways; tried every suggested solution or workaround, to no effect.

Occasionally I can stay connected for a brief period of time if every wireless device in the house is powered off or disabled, but even then it is only a few minutes.

Never experienced anything like this problem in any other game I have ever played on this or any previous computer. No network problems here, no issues connecting or staying connected to any other game.

I have been thoroughly impressed with this game since picking it up a few weeks ago, but at this point, it has become completely unplayable for me.

This needs to be addressed immediately or I can see a lot of people in my/our position just losing interest in and walking away from your otherwise great game.
