1st and foremost, and this is the most important part of this, stick to your team. Necros need an effective babysitter to perform effectively.
2nd, try using flesh wurm, and spectral walk, those should give you some outs.
3rd, accept that you are the most dangerous person on the field due to your boon hate, and at the same time the weakest, due to your lack of personal suitability, and as such, will always be 1st target. You need a good team to support you to survive.
I took your advice and tried to stay close to my teammates. I still get focused down a lot, but I guess a little less?
Hi all,
Returning player needs some help here.
I quit gw2 2 years ago (before HoT came out) and came back a few days ago for path of fire. I enjoyed pvp before I left and I played necro a lot back then.
So the first thing I did was to queue unranked as a necro then eventually reaper. I had to relearn all the classes and the new specializations, which I am still trying to do.
I started as a condi reaper because condi seemed to be the hype but I did not like it so I reverted back to power. I love playing power so much more….BUT it is so difficult…I have no mobility, have no stab, I am knocked around like a rag doll most of the matches (stunned, knocked down, pushed back, etc). On top of getting ping-ponged left and right in most of the games, i realize I melt like butter despite having some toughness and vitality from runes/accessory. I kept thinking man, I suck! Until this one time I queued and someone from my team said focus their necro, always. I started to see a pattern where necros were called-targeted very often…then I began to connect the dots…that I am very often targeted in all team battles because i play necro
My question is, how do you guys stay alive in a team battle when you are constantly being targeted with all the CC’s, condis, and damage? I have a few condi cleanses (signet, consume condi, dagger 4) and yet I was constantly loaded on condis. If you can shed some light on how to deal with some meta classes, that would be awesome (example: how you deal with burn guardian, condi thief, etc)
I can 1v1 most classes okay but I cannot last 2v1 for help to arrive. When I try to run to reset or stay alive, I get chased down so easily.
I love the concept of a necromancer (especially a powermancer) and I want to continue playing as one. I have mediocre success with it because most people expect a condi reaper and willingly stand in my wells. So please help me survive better.

Any update would be appreciated
Hi Gaile,
I understand you posted multiple times to not post about item refunds here but after 9 days of waiting, I am getting quite discouraged. How backed up is item refund, two weeks, a month? Any estimated timeline would be appreciated.

Any human response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Saving up the 2k+ gold required to buy a legendary is also a feat. However, obtaining only one legendary should not allow you to wield two.
It could take me about 5 minutes, where most of the time is spent logging into PayPal… It would take me about 2 hours of work to get the cash depending on the exchange rate.
I just made a rough calculation. Assuming an Incinerator goes for around 2800 gold, it will take around $583 to buy it outright with the conversion rate when I did the calculation. You make $291 post tax an hour. You, sir, deserve all the legendaries in this game.
Based on what Senbonzakura posted…
Would offering dual-legendary owners the choice of a second legendary SKIN of their choice be acceptable compensation? You would still have two actual legendaries – but now you’d have a second legendary skin that you could apply as you wished. Giving out these skins (they’d be account-bound) would likely hurt the legendary economy far less than unbinding the legendaries and allowing them to be sold – it also reduces the problem of “how do you compensate everyone equally when the cost of legendaries has changed over time?” All footprints, effects, etc would be maintained for legendaries and the copies, and everyone could dual-wield as they pleased.
This would make me a super duper happy camper =)
Hi, I am a dual incinerators owner myself and I came up with an example that might help the opposing view see why some people such as myself feel bumped out by this change.
Suppose there is a Player A and a Player B, both decided to craft two legendaries. Player A crafted a Frostfang for his warrior and an Incinerator for his thief while Player B decided to go for the distinct look of 2 Incinerators on his necro. Both Frostfang and Incinerator cost roughly the same (2,500+gold), both players went through roughly the same amout of effort to procure the legendaries and are happy with the outcome.
Now April 15th arrives – Player A is now able to copy his Frostfang and Incinerators to all his alts and can also have the distinctive look of dual wielding both legendaries. Player B can only duplicate Incinerator to his alts. In this example, the wardrobe change favors players with different legendaries while players with duplicate legendaries are at an “disadvantage”. I saw people argued that people with two Incinerators (Player B ) still have 2 purple rank weapons that allow stat change…but think about this, in my example, player A ALSO have 2 purple rank weapons (Frostfang and Incinerator). So, both players have exactly the same perk in term of the convenience of legendaries BUT Player A now have unlocked TWO legendary skins that he can duplicate as long as he has the charges while Player B only has 1 legendary skin unlocked. Both players have gone through the same efforts and commitment for two legendaries, but Player A have access to 2 distinct skins AND can dual wield (this really defeats Player B’s initial motivation to go for two Incinerators).
At the end:
Player A has 2 purple weapons for stat change (original frostfang and inci) and can now give Frostfang and Incinerator to his warrior, ele, necro, ranger, etc and dual wield in some cases.
Player B also has 2 purple weapons for stat change (2 incis) but can only unlock more Incinerators for his alts.
I fall under Player B and is quite bumped out by this change…If I knew this was the case, I would have crafted a different legendary and unlock that skin for all my alts instead of ending with 2 of the same one…
Best solution would be the one already mentioned: Only allow dual wielding if the account has 2 Incinerators/bolts/quips. If the account only has one, allow duplicating but all the toons cannot dual wield.
I also saw some people giving the analogy of store offering two for the price of one argument. I think in that case, the cost of the item should be considered as well. If I go to the store and saw apples I bought last night is now half price, I would just say “Man, wish I did not get those apples last night” and move on. But imagine me spending $50k on a Lexus and a few months later Lexus announces the car is now half price. I would immediately drive to the dealer with all the other buyers and demand refund/compensation of some sort.
I hope my little example helps shed some light on the disappointment. And if I am wrong, feel free to correct me.
Thanks for reading!
Legendary’s that are equipped in the off hand slot don’t have any footfalls, just bear that in mind.
If you mean all legendaries equipped as an offhand does not have footfalls that is false. Incinerator, bolt, frostfang, etc all have footfalls when equipped in offhand (if mainhand isnt a legendary with footfalls). If you mean all off-hand only legendary weapons do not have any footfalls, I am pretty sure Rodgort is an offhand with footfalls.
I just made the Minstrel last night. My friends were around the mystic toilet with me while I crafted it and soulbinding/running around with it was quite anti-climatic.
BUT today I ran around with it and it actually looks pretty cool. The particle effects are very subtle and I am really liking it.
If they do update the graphic (which i doubt anet ever will, at least not in another year haha), I wish it would be like a light music note footfall, nothing flashy like the greatswords. The subtlety kinda gets you once you have it for more than a few hours.
