Guild Wars 2

From personal experience I know that wells are quite powerful, but the biggest problem with them is that they don’t move once they’ve been placed – they’re AOEs! Any MMO player knows to move out of AOEs. So while wells hit super hard, they are super easy to avoid, especially with dodging mechanisms, and they only last five seconds.

Perhaps, as far as wells are concerned, maybe if their damage was toned down a bit and they followed the Necromancer around at their feet. Or maybe their cooldowns could be decreased and they stayed in one spot as they do right now.

I don’t know. I admit that I am not the best Necro out there, but when my burst DPS is considerably slower than other caster DPS classes, something needs to be fixed.

I agree that Necros don’t need an escape mechanism. Our escape mechanism is our robustness.

I searched for this but I did not find anything (at least in this forum).

I think it wouldn’t hurt if Dynamic Events showed up on the map, and from a good distance away from your character’s location. I believe this would make leveling slightly easier for everyone and I don’t think it would impact dailies by making them easier.

The reason I believe this change is needed is because players cannot level from the minimum level to the maximum level in the same zone. For example, while leveling from 15 to 25, I repeatedly traveled to Diessa Plateau to increase my levels so that I could complete Kessex Hills on my Human Elementalist. The heart quests are helpful and are a good source of gear for leveling, but it’s obvious that players are supposed to take part in dynamic events to progress through the levels, so why not make them easier to find? It seems odd to me that one has to travel so much just to advance to a higher level – other games don’t require this of players.

I am aware of the fact that I can level via crafting, and I have tried to do so, but I never seem to have enough materials despite me stopping at every node I run across (currently my elementalist is an Artificer and a Weapon crafter). Sure, perhaps I should look into getting different, more leveling-friendly crafting professions; but I have never been much of a crafter in any MMO I’ve played.

I also have a level 80 Necromancer (who does next to no damage… hence the elementalist) who also had to travel from zone to zone to level adequately. It should be noted that in the higher-level zones such as Cursed Shore, that you cannot take two steps before you run into a Dynamic Event. To me it feels as if the lower level zones are not like this. So why not make Dynamic Events easier to find? Why not make this change?

I agree with the OP that events do need to be seen on the map from a further distance away. Currently I have a level 80 Necromancer, and yes it is terribly easy to find dynamic events in the Cursed Shore, but the same cannot be said for my level 30 Elementalist.

The dailies are important, but leveling would be far less cumbersome for me if these dynamic events appeared from a further distance on the map than they currently do. I understand I could level a crafting skill (I NEVER have enough copper), and the heart quests don’t give enough experience. If I knew were more dynamic events were, I could go to them and not have to go from Char, to Human, to Sylvari, to Munchkin land to level.
