Guild Wars 2

I hope you weren’t taking this too much to heart. I was speaking in general terms, and it wasn’t directed to you personally.

I was just trying to put a positive spin on things. There’s a lot of negativity going around, and through negativity contempt is born. Which it seems that I have got from you. So, I will remove myself from the discussion since I have little to add if it’s catching the developers attention on balance concerns that you wish to do.

Well, you’re probably new here and you aren’t yet informed about the Jon Peters’ post.

You would be quite right about that.

Edit: Is this the post you’re talking about?

I take more positives than negatives from that post. I don’t know what all the furore is about here? Are there any posts from the developers that’re condemning the Necromancer to no further changes?

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m enjoying my Necro and I won’t be re-rolling to another class simply because the “grass seems greener”. Anyone who knows anything about MMOs will realise that classes which are unbalanced, underpowered or underperforming will be buffed. Those that are overpowered will be nerfed. It’s just how it is.

The game is barely a month old and a class as complex as the Necromancer will take a while to iron out. Now that the game is out, ANet can begin the tough job of balancing classes as best they can and improving their playability.

For me personally I saw this with Warlocks in World of Warcraft, and it’s the same story here. Just wait it out and you’ll see the buffs/balancing you want come to Necros and they will have their time in the spotlight.

Just because they’re not awesome today, doesn’t mean they won’t be tomorrow. And when that day comes, you will be able to look back at the “dark ages” of the class and realise you stuck with it and are a veteran. Not a Flavour of the Month re-roller.
