Please for the love of all that is holy, lets get rid of these…

This isn’t enough, necros need to be brought down because too op. Get rid of chill cdr increase, and maybe slow. Remove life force generation from skills, only gain from deaths. Remove dmg reduction from death shroud. Remove weakness from curses, because holy moly- completely op. Remove might gain from spite, because deeps too high. Necros are supposed to immobile, so they should only have 1 dodge instead of 2. I think this will balance necros.

I think they also need a 4 second stun upon leaving shroud, or maybe 10 stacks of torment from being death incarnate for a short while……

Man I miss these threads. grabs some popcorn

Skill cap -> PvE -> LOL!

No one gives a kitten about PvE, anything works there.

Ye, l2p against this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZFok_D_TI

le much skill involved to play le necro.

I hold to the fact that Necro was op before Reaper but only in the hands of someone who truly mastered it in regards to winning against what every other class has been running around with since launch.

“Anything works there” with that statement you just proved you have no idea what your talking about in regards to raids at all.
Personally I enjoy hunting every Necro I see because you know, have to be The One :P and I dont lose often.

The problem with nerfing Necro’s Chill dmg is that Necros effectiveness in raids will then suffer greatly. Engi is top of the food chain condiwise but it takes some mad skills to pull it off.
Reaper can almost reach it’s level without that high skill cap, given such skill isnt always available Reaper has a place in pve for once after being in the dark for years. Nerf chill to appease the pvper QQ that has suddenly arisen would be a mistake and hurt in more ways then one.
All this crying because people have to actually learn to fight us now is hilarious, we arent to be batted around the map and bludgeoned to death because we lack the evades/escapes/blocks and boon spam every other class has, we are a threat now.

Also we generate almost no boons at all, instead we apply conditions to ourselves even. Makes sense to have a way to compensate for that as there is no other class that has to deal with such a weakness.
Everyone wants to deny us the dps of thief and the condi power of Engi/burn ele.
So were would thag leave us? We have to be strong somewhere.

You’ll be strong by having 2 life bars, and you’ll like it! You WANT to be hit. Kappa. :P

We also start off every match with half our class mechanics inaccessible until the fight starts. The second life bar doesnt even exist at the beginning which is one of the most critical points of a match.
All I see is people complaining that they lost their punching bag. Not that I am a pushover before these buffs :P In fact one of my Necro friends who is one of the best there is has gone back to Base Condi Necro and simply doesnt lose even vs Reapers.

Who is this necro that is one of the best there is? Had he played base necro in tournaments?

Wont just throw his name out here publicly so I pmed it to you.

Love this, for months people whine and complain about the insane bunker meta. Anet finally takes a step in the right direction and creates counter for it. Finally Necro does well what it was intended to do well from the beginning, corruption.
We havent been the Condi kings for years, we havent been the hardest hitting powerwise for years, instead we have sat on the backlines watching other classes being hailed as more “optimal”.
Now we have a place, a role, a purpose that we do better then any other class now. It isnt the appliance of condis nor straight up dps, yet we turn other class’s strengths against them.
We still cant avoid damage, we still arent the dps masters.
Yet when we rise up to have a place in meta everyone suddenlly loses their minds at the prospect of having to learn to fight a new enemy rather then getting that free kill Necromancer used to be.
Reaper gave us hope, we still have major weakness like any other, unlike previous bunker mesmer and the insane point dps DH had.
This is truly a learn to play issue, I personally will walk away from this game if Anet listened to the QQ and nerfs us BACK out of meta possibility where we were BEFORE.

This is how Necro was intended to be, learn to fight us, and let us finally have that moment of glory every other class has enjoyed in the past, turret engi , medi guard, bearbow ranger, thief (newly returned), mesmer, PU and bunker, Hambow war, Cele Ele. Some of those were meta for years.
Necro with Reaper is the most balanced and near perfect of them all, the problems are with the other classes and their elites, not us.

The total focus of anet seems more and more to be esports, as terrible as the thought is, I kind of hope their esport dreams crash into ruin. So they can go back to making a beautiful epic game again.

I also have been warning people away from this game, to quote myself “Arena net has become EA’s close cousin, if you hate EA, stay away”.

I agree, suddenly my feeling of accomplishment with my Reaper is suddenly removed. Everyone and their mother will be wearing the hood I worked so hard for and overcame challenges they could not apparently. The only change I had wished for was to make the elite spec when once unlocked, account wide for those like myself with multiples of the same class.
That being said I dont blame everyone for being upset as it wasnt presented very well for everyone to understand what it was going to be required of them.

I just want to say, thank you Anet.
No matter what little things may bug me, or whatever could get under my skin.
I am having a ball with HoT, it may be a bit grindy, but I’m having a blast doing it, my Reaper may be half finished, but I’m facerolling everything with it (full glass cannon), there may be some challenges, but they are hard enough to get this WvW only person to dive in headfirst and face them head on.
I may get annoyed getting Reapers for all 3 Necromancers (there is a 4th for a later date), but I love them so much I wont stop till they are finished.
I cant wait to see what you have in store for us next, and I will ride this ship to whatever end.

Thank you.

It is also helpful if you wish to send a defeated enemy something or then “greetings” such as salt and or bananas and butter =P

Looking for that perfect guild to take you to the moon and back? Sorry, we lack the rocket power, but we would love you have you raid with us anyhow.

I love Base Necromancer and Reaper, they have two completely different combat styles and there for different roles.
Which is why (also because I hate carrying 4+ gear sets around) have 4 necromancers.
My Base Necros will each fill different Necromancer roles, Wellbomber, and my roaming/havoc Perplexity Condi necro.
Same with 2 of them being, Power/frontline Reaper and Condi roamer/havoc Reaper.

Please keep thinking this way….because eventually when everyone has drank the cool-aid…I will be, The One …..Or three as that is how many Necros I have atm

Given the condi update my Perplexity Terrormancer will be more powerful then ever before. While I hate some of the “nerfs” I see a greater build diversity opening up for us. In fact I see some of our nerfs being placed on us because of the condi changes. We shall see tomorrow, but I wonder if we may yet find ourselves more powerful then ever before.

Join us! We are a close family of players who love every aspect of the game! If you are from Tarnished Coast join us for WvW Reset tonight! Warning..not everyone may be sober =P

TC players join us for reset raids tonight! If you arent TC join anyway! We run pve events several times a week. If you are looking for a family of great awesome(and sometimes crazy) people then we are for you.

Would have been better if they just used the Ele Lightning whip animation for auto attacks.

Be part of our family! We love to kick butt and take names, pants are optional.

I just laugh at such people. Like the one time I held up three people at the treb in Kyhlo for nearly a minute on my necro. Once downed they loled and called me a noob. Yet I just laughed to myself as my team captured all three points in their absence lol

Cant rep all the time but once in awhile ill leave my officer duties and join the coolest people in Tyria XD
