4- you must be high, because warrior can not kittening tag, like at all

anything that is related to a huge farming zerging activity which requires you to tag the most enemy possible to get loot, you don’t want to be a warrior.

Bow and GS strongly disagree

Nova Stiker.8396:

How do you approach balancing?

I don’t mean with number crunching, making something equal to something else. As balancing is much more than that. Fun (is it fun?), versitility (How many uses does it have?), usability (How easily is it used?), viability (How useful is this?) are all factors to consider.

My question is: What do you do when you have something useless?

Anet will never answer these kind of questions because they’d be flamed back as hell..
just realize this game have lost much of it’s good and simply play for fun when other games are offline

1- Warrior
2- Guardian
3- Mesmer/Thief
4- Guardian/Warrior
5- Mesmer/Thief/Ele (depends most on the race)

any suggestion to improve this build?
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJASWlsApcodDxaI8DNxARZVAgdJ0Cx51bwDUBA-TphAABZcBAk+QAUWZAr2fojjAAAPAAA

basically it’s a tanky meditation build with very good healing (meditations+dodges+aegis), lots of burning on block (+retal),CC (hammer) and Condition cleanses (meditations)

anyone tried something similar?
beside skyhammer (where usually i just need to banish people in the sky..) this build seems very resilent even in 1vs2 situations

as title says: in spvp matches which is better and WHY? shouts or meditations?

How would you rank professions (and especially their main builds) in terms of both Dps and CC?
which are the best ones?

Nothing much to say, title and other similar posts say everything..
We asked more care for this profession and they gave no answer to our calls.
The lack of significant new content,modes and game variety are just the tip of the iceberg
And btw i will never stop to say this: GW1 was better.

thank you friends for the time we shared and thank you foes for the bags you gifted me
oh
thank you warriors,guardians,eles and ANET for giving me a WONDERFUL and RESPECTFUL experience in dungeons

as walter says: “the borders are open”
good luck for those who stay, maybe one day we will see again

Archeage release is really really soon

Lopez.7369:

Eh, this forum is super dramatic. The only game mode necromancer lacks in is dungeons. They do fine in everything else.

call it nothing..
why should i log off and roll another toon (let’s face it, if you are not a warr,guard or ele you will be discriminated) if i want to do some dungeon/fractal run?

hope dies hard
and since after the mesmer changes they had to turn around on their steps due to the community’s feedback i hope they will do the same for us.
But we are not complaining about OP skills or new things..we ask not to be again the “last pick of the draft”

2 more days till the balance patch
no words from anet
no response to the overwhelming community feedback we gave em

see ya (maybe) at spring dear Anet
hope i’m wrong and something more will happen before Sept.9

NO
/thread.

ps: i undersand the goal of some player to make us think that our profession is good,strong,cool bla bla..but unfortunately it’s not. And this video only shows a very very good engy

Poplolita.2638:

Sometime, you just don’t make sense. One time you’re all like: Necromancer preview day is not okay! We can’t give feedbacks in time! I should be changed! Lmao, you’re the one who started the thread…

After they changed the day and all, you’re telling people to just sit there and shut up?

Make up your mind seriously…

Starting dozens of different threads is not a good way to give them feedback. I wanted to have the chance to give reasonable feedback, not starting dozens of threads all saying “omg I want necromancer to be the exact profession I want it to be, and I want it right now, even though this is totally counter to everything necromancer is and its impossible to make the changes I want in the amount of time!”.

People don’t understand what reasonable feedback means. Instead they want the game to be exactly what they want it to be, when they want it to be, without any consideration for anything else besides what they want. No understanding of priorities, of theme, of what game ANet is making, of how long changes take, or what is even reasonable to change.

I’m all for reasonable feedback. A lot of what has been going on is in absolutely no way reasonable.

Those unreasonable posts and threads you’re talking about are a natural responses from the necromancer community. If anet at least reverted some change they made because of dhuumfire, I’ll agree with you. But, it simply wasn’t the case. It was only a quality of life change. Once again, necromancer are stuck in the same place, while every other professions except 2 of them got some significant buffs that furhter increase their builds diversity. Also, no offense Bhawb, but playing the part of the grande dame doesn’t help either.

you literally deserve an applause. chapeau.
if 2 people are complaining about the behaviour and response of the rest of the comminuty it’s not a whining issue but someone sorta defending at all costs the undefendable.
but hey..
2 things are sure in gw2:
-anet have ears just for “some very specific profession”’s playerbase feedback
-anet doesnt care too much about current “low end” professions because the meta is sorta stable and people will keep playing anyway their warriors,guardians,eles..

so let’s just wait some day and everyone will make it’s own decision

Riccardo.7254:

can’t understand if you don’t want to see things in front of you or if it’s just laziness..
anyway here some points for you and the “watching” devs:

Umm, I am well aware of the issues. No need for the personal attacks simply because I suggest actually listing specific changes in the “balance” sub forums, instead of making blanket “this needs changed” style statements.

Be part of the solution and not the problem. “whaaaa, whaaaa, fix this now or I no play moar……………….” does not aid in solving the problem, because if you are unhappy with the fix, you complain further. If you like, I can list some necro changes that you have personally complained about after they were changed, to see my point.

Calling someone “lazy” for offering sound advice doesn’t help. Particularly when bellowing complaints while avoiding putting any effort in listing solutions is infinitely lazier.

Similarly to posters claiming that devs do or do not play certain professions. You might as well be spamming post in which your literally begging to be ignored, when you make uninformed claims and proof-less accusations. I mean they have made multiple post notifying folks how they immediately discount post and entire threads when they are unreasonably bashed in such a way.

You guys take action in a manner that completely contradicts your own best interest. Then actually feel like the correct coarse of action is to bash anyone offering communication advise or by making back handed insults and fact-less accusations in the direction of those who put in the actual labor to make the changes.

wasn’t attacking you personally, apologies if it seemed so, and i don’t wanna another mexican standoff on this thread. My concern is just to see our devs demonstrate some care for our profession.

/reply, good luck

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

The necromancer needs more attention, and we should keep posting till someone takes notice. It’s about time some of the devs started playing a necro as a main, and it is about time they started giving the class some love. Fix our core issues, or I simply won’t be playing.

dancingmonkey.4902:

Riccardo.7254:

the necromancer community has proposed plenty of possibile reworks and needed changes..
just go there and and bring some devs with you for a tour

I think your missing the point. My point is that if certain Anet folks have to go hunt down what you really mean, based on obscure statements you make here, you do yourself no favors. Also, I personally, feel anytime you “claim” something “needs” to be reworked and refuse to share how, your being counter productive.

can’t understand if you don’t want to see things in front of you or if it’s just laziness..

DejaVu.9825:

Perfect analysis
The necromancer need to build a power valid. Many weapons should be completely rebuilt.

What weapons?

How would you rebuild them?

What is a power valid? Do you refer to valid power build? If so, there are a few.

Unless you answer those two question, “claiming” they need rebuilt comes off as nothing more them aimless complaining with no actual direction. I am not disagree or even agreeing with you for that matter, I am simply suggesting to you what I feel Anet reads out of it.

the necromancer community has proposed plenty of possibile reworks and needed changes..

You guys took the feedback of the mesmer community and worked for fast changes of what you proposed. Just take a look of the Necromancer forum and make your day. You are still in time to give us a reason to keep playing it (or gw2)
thank you

oxtred.7658:

First of all just a friendly reminder: pvp isn’t about 1v1.
That said, You’re going 6 points into radiance without RHS. That’s the only reason ( along with precision boost) to go that far into the traitline. You can either swap to gs/sw/f and trait for a classic meditation build, or go on with traiting for sword damage and swap a trait for RHS. Staff is a bad weapon for 1v1. Arguably, staff is a bad weapon period, if you don’t have AH.

i perfectly know that spvp is not just 1vs1 :P i’m a “championX” with other 4 professions..just wanted to make a build for 1vs1 duel only rooms.
anyway: RHS is really that good compared to Searing flames? i mean, in the build i made i have a solid 45% base of crit chance which goes to 65% due to fury pretty easily, so isn’t it redundant? Ok, Searing Flames has a 10s cooldown but i can use it many times in a duel with both VoJ and Judge’s Intervention.

Harbinger.8637:

You kind of have the right idea, but it’s unoptimized. First of all no staff, staff isn’t really a weapon, let alone a dueling weapon. It’s more of a support tool. If you want to run a build like this I’d recommend more on the lines of 2/6/6/0/0/ or 0/6/6/1/1. Also Save Yourselves isn’t that great in pvp due to the boon duration nerf it has there.

Something more on the lines of this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQRAsd7flsApcodDxaI8DRh/Qkj1FTB4cd55HA-TJhFwAAeCAULDMb/hEnEAA

this build is pretty close to mine and i really like it! do you think Soldier Amulet is better than Celestial? i chose Celestial to have a little more Condi and healing power but i’m open to changes if they are worth

thank you both

Hi guys,
this is my first guardian build (so please be patient with me, i’m here to learn), i never played this profession and i’ll use it just for spvp for now.
i looked for a very fast setup able to put a lot of pressure on the opponet (especially on the squishy-jumping-ones) while keeping good sustain in both healing and condition cleanses.
the goal of this build is not to shut down the opponent quickly but instead being sufficiently hard to kill while kittening to death the opponent with tricks and both conditions and raw power.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAsdWlsApcodDxfH8DNBARYdRwDWrXHOuB-TpxHAB1eIAM4EAoy+Di9AAA4IAUUZAA

What do you think of this?
Any (motivated please) advice on how this build should work and can be imrpoved?

thank you in advance

I’m just throwing this out there, but developers could you also please consider giving us a more reliable/consistent way to apply weakness to foes more often.

More weakness would be a good and fitting way to improve necromancer survivability.

Riccardo.7254:

http://poll.pollcode.com/73368454_result?v

just to be sure that “maybe” someone from ANET will see the results of what they proposed..

Being honest I’m not sure Anet really cares about the poll. What is more effective is discussion that supports our unhappiness, instead of just saying we’re unhappy with these changes.

I edited the OP again to try to explain the thread better.

I dont think having the poll in there is a bad thing(unless you have been told otherwise).

We have made numerous threads, from helpful suggestions to rant threads and everything in between.

Having the poll documents how everyone feels with the class and im not sure about you but having 25% of people considering leaving the game would make me do more then a rant thread.

I think I will go with wells and siphons, something like this:
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=;00;3kHFJ0E4-K-K0;9;4EO-T-2;057;214B;9;8FSVHP7w

With celerity runes so I can slot 2-3 wells, plus golem and either well of blood or consume conditions.

Gear I have got mostly berserker, but some runes with toughness/vitality as well. Not sure about what runes to use in my weapones, 5% damage/7% crit?

try something like this
(made this really fast but it’s a build easy to make and pretty effective while you learn how to play the Wellomancer)
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=;00;3kHFJ0D4FJ-K0;9;599TJ;15;03;017B57-LBl66;1t_MTt_MTBBGSF6R7;2V3V80DXH2NZT_6o0S70HV8aNX8aY

i’ll copy here the content of my previous post:
"
-Spectral Armor: now grants protection and stability 6s each (untraited)
This will partially solve our problem of being too susceptible to control effects

-Signet Of Vampirism: remove passive cooldown or improve active duration to 10s
Terribly designed skill which need a total rework or at leas a big makeover

-Axe AA: add a small bleeding effect each hit like 1 stack 3s per skill hit
Cleave would have been better but required a redesign of the AA, adding a small bleeding each hit will at least provide some condi pressure and a good dps improve overall

-Dagger skills from 2-5: reduced 20% of their cooldown
seriously..

Spectral Walk: redesign skill. Make it like Mesmer teleport and call it “Spectral Vanishing”. Keep Stun Break. 900range. cooldown reduced to kitten (untraited)
this will give us some little more mobility ooc and in combat

-Spectral Wall: added a reflecion effect.
this will give people a little reason to bring a necro into PVE content

-Blood is Power: redesign skill. Draw conditions from nearby allies giving them 2 stacks of might 10s for each condition drawned
this will give people a serious reason to bring a necro into PVE content

Blood Magic traitline:
-II Bloodthirst: siphoning effect increased to 50%
-III Mark of Evasion: removed trait cooldown
-V Vampiric Precision: scales more with power
-VII Vampiric Master: ALL minions now siphon
-IX Deathly Invigoration: healing effect increased (doubled) and healing also on entering DS
-XIII Unholy Martyr: interval decreased to 1s

this traitline needs a lot of rework

Some clarification:
-i main Necro since right after beta
-i played through these years every kind of combination of traits and skill of this profession
-i didnt proposed changes to every trait or every skill because some of them are still viable
-i focused the changes to the areas where necros lack competitiveness

i hope ANET will hear necromancer’s community too and change the balancing they intend to release since it’s not what this profession is asking

Erhnam.5732:

Is berserker only enough to survive? Or is it worth to invest in some Soldier or Knight pieces?

usually new players start mixing dps and survival stats until they are confident enough to wear a full dps set.
unfortunately in this game dps > survivability since well timed dodges and good skill rotations are the only good way to not die in both pve and pvp, so maximizing dps is the best way always.
for necros btw dps comes from both raw power and conditions (and these have totally different sets to look on) so it is important to understand how do you wanna play your necro before chosing your gear.

atm the best necro builds are all power-based that’s why berserker gear is your best choice

here you can find a good editor to show us your build so that we can help you more http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=;9;9;9;9;9;9;7FE

go full berserker weapons,armor and trinkets
what build are you currently using?

bers>>asassin ewerywhere except reflects. No reflects -> bers gear

is there any good mesmer build that does not run Feedback or iWardens? :P

hi guys!
i’m wondering: which (if there is any) are the mobs that only use ranged attack skills? (even in melee range)

thank you all

i know it’s a noob question but i’m not completely satisfied by the answer “cuz reflection scales better with it”..sorry..
is there a math somewhere? or can someone explain me better why a lot of mesmers use assassin gear instead of berzy?
i have a full berserker ascended gear now and i dont find myself in need to improve my crit % since my phantasms have fury and their dps is just awsome
so the choice is merely done for Feedback and iWarden’s reflection damage?

thank you in advance

This guide contains the best dungeon builds to run for mesmer currently:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Guide-How-To-Mesmer-in-Dungeons

This one here.

The best meta builds you can run.

actually on that link there is more than one build to look at, that’s why i asked
i’d like to know what you people are using and maybe how can i work on mine

Well the guide is pretty clear.

Your main build in dungeons and fractals:

• 1) 6/4/0/0/4 — General Purpose DPS: S/S + (S/F or S/P) — This is the primary build

When you need any type of reflects use:

• 2) 6/4/0/4/0 — Full Reflection Uptime: S/S + S/F — This is the secondary build

I usually just stay in the primary build.

And of course if the bosses are dying so fast and there’s no point in using your phantasms or the boss destroys your phantasms and they won’t stay up use:

• 3) 6/6/0/0/2 — Full DPS, S/S + (S/F or S/P)

This one I have no comment on, don’t use:

• 4) Others, like 6/5/0/0/3, are a compromise between build 3 and 1.

Either way hope this helps

it helps indeed
i just dont understand one thing..
in the first build
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQRAsc8dl0npKtFpxVNUrNiqhgyupJdgERKZnSA-TxRBABPt/wVK/KU/goq/AwRBIvXAgZKBJFwTLjA-e

Thank you all for the replies!
actually i’m looking at the two builds postes by musu and Loony:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAs9cnsISpa2qGGoB1aIR1QO5zhoqLJDkokl6A-TFCEAB2t/Qiq/slSQmU+ZwDAoNdAAcCAcTLQAAEgJWiBwEn4En4EnYTciTciTcilCwMlRA-w

and

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsdRnsISraWmGmqB1aIR1QObxhosbaSFocdA-TBBEABMt/o8DgnAQiq/slSwAAHA87v/+7v/GA-e

i really like em both and i think they are slightly but in some way better than mine
(ps: i know that scholar runes are better than traveler for fractals but atm i only have these )

some question for you both tho:
-which of these builds have the most phantasm dps? i’m not that smart to understand clearly how traits and stats give better dps to one or another here..
-Sw/F is my main set but what about the second set? musu has suggested another sword as second set’s offhand (but what about mainhand?) while Loony has kept GS.
Do you think is wise not having a full ranged weapon? especially against some bosses
Or you can do fine just summoning phantasms and staying when possible in melee range?

thanks everyone

i’m running pretty effectively this build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsdRnsISpa2qGeoB3aGR1QO7zhosbayGIBA-TVCEAB2t/ABHCgEV/ZLlgMp8zgnAQb6CA4EA4mWgAAIATsELxJGYiTciTciTsJOxJOxJOxSBYmyI-w

it’s purpose is to pop up iWardens very fast keeping pressure with sword (melee range) or GS (at range) buffing as much as i can phantasms health and damage with traits and utilities. I usually switch then Null Field with Portal Entre if the party does not suffer too much from conditions.

what build do you run?
or
What builds do you find mode useful/effective for fractals?

6/0/2/0/6 and go for full power DS
Just learn back how and when to dodge,pop spectral armor and F1 and you can go wvw easily everywhere from zergs to roaming

Oh remember to bring dual daggers :P

I am currently lvl 71 grinding my way to 80 (hope to reach it in two days) thanks to eotm and wvw. I know it’s not the best or advisable way to lvl up and learn a profession but since it’s my fifth and last toon to bring to 80 i looked for the “easy way”..
Now
I have done some practice in spvp with average results trying different playstyles but i admit i am far from knowing what to do and what i must not do with my mez.
I am looking for a simple guideline that describes the different “builds” (be it mantra,pu,power,shatter,condi and their mixes) to understand a little more what to do with each..
Basically these are the things i feel to know better:
-when and if i should shatter clones
-when and if i should stealth
-when and if i should melee

For each of the main mez builds

Thank you all in advance

EPIC fail since first post OP

guys sorry for Hitman. i faced him in spvp and mauled him in DS so many times that he got deathshroudophopic..

and (jokes aside)

to answer OP: NO. as others already stated Adrenaline and DS are so different that asking for a counterbalance to lifeforce gain is just newbish and wrong.

just gank em down. once i spot the real mez press F2, Doom and Autoattack him to death. they can be tough as they want but power DeathShroud crits usually take 3-4 hits to finish the job

NO

i agree with you guys with your in-depth analysis of necro’s skills and situation
but as i do you too recognize the fact that necromancers too have their uses, i’m just sad when i see comments like “necros are kitten in fractals/dungeons” or “roll a guard/warr/ele/thief..” when WE CAN actually do stuff too.
it is demotivating for a user to look for advices and read only negative comments about his profession.
necros (as i told before) maybe are not the best in doing certain things (cleansing,buffing,spiking) but they actually can do all of them, it is a very viable profession that can cover different roles in a party (while others dont..)

so i didn’t want to look as a troll but i’m trying to defend necro’s uses
we are not ineffective as someone wants to make us look :P

keep giving help to new users or demanding people

ps: personally i do not want to see only warr/guards/ele/thieves parties in fractals or dungeons..

traited just with recharge time:
well of suffering – 28s recharge – high dps + vulnerability on aoe
well of power – 40s recharge – aoe condition into boons
well of darkness – 40s recharge – aoe blind

add Ritual of Protection to have each pulse grant Protection on aoe

i’m not saying that other professions can’t do similar stuff but necros can actually bring more utility in a fractal party than some other professions
but hey..as you say..necro is the last of the pack so keep on rolling warr acting like a bot!

why do you keep telling that it’s a selfish class when most of necros who do daily fractals run a well-supporting-power build?
are wells selfish skills? i don’t think so
do wells bring low dps/low condi removal/low in combat buffs? again i don’t think so
we have one of the most versatile and (especially in high-end PVE) strong setups of the game

so instead of criticizing a profession learn to play if effectively and teach other ignorants that necros are not bad as they think.

so you are telling me that a well built wellomancer cant bring anything to fractals?
oh my

i know..
the correct answer is “find a good team and play TeamQ”
but if your dudes are not online what should you do?
it takes 5+ min to enter a soloQ match and things usually end up like this:

me: “any strategy?”
(time later)
me:“i’ll go X and hold”
..
(more time later)
me:“your strategy?”
..
and the match begins..

i do my stuff just to see 4 people just roaming around tryin to kill others and being mauled badly.
these matches usually end 500-150

so how to deal with uncoordinated groups?
im a little bit tired of loosing

what’s the best setup for wvw, zerging and roaming?
pretty much all builds atm go full chaos + the rest of the traits spent to try to maximize conditions output or power

what do you use and why do you think it’s best

since i’m going to wvw roam most of the time (ofc in EB and Borders – not in eotm) do you have any suggestion on what matchups i should avoid and those where i can throw myself in?

coming from a p/d condi thief i had to learn all my opponent weaknesses to know what and where to hit :P

thx again
