You are either the worst Pvp’er in gw2 or just plain stupid =) Sorry but it’s true.. Elementalists are very good in Pvp. Behind the right hands.. clearly not yours. And to claim that thiefs are OP? Not at all. I constantly own thiefs with my mesmer. Yes i am a light armored character like your elementalist but i know how to play my character.

After reading tons of posts and complaints of necros being underpowered and broken. Yet hearing everyone else shouting they they are overpowered. I think I have nailed down why necros are so unhappy half the time.
I have been playing necro since launch and dabbled in a few other classes, but I see one distinct difference between a necro and everyone else. It’s that a necro is not that satisfying to play. Playing a worrier with a a 2h sword is immensely satisfying, knowing you’re a wrecking ball. A Mesmer has so many fun and interesting ways to play it. Thieves can wreck you in a pvp 1v1 and provide awesome utility. Guardians can be decked out for attack, and still be able to soak up most incoming damage. and so on and so forth. However where is that “Fun” aspect in the necro? for most, unless you spec exactly right, it’s not there. They seem a super versatile class, but don’t really excel at anything in particular. There are barely any moments where you feel like you are on top of things. I tends to feel like a bit of a struggle on every encounter you face. rarely do you win a 1v1 in things like pvp and WvW and unless you are in a zurg, any passing warrior, guardian, thief, Mesmer, ect can just outlast any burst you have and slaughter you. The only time that I feel like I can easily win are normal PvE fights. And that’s not what I want, it’s PvP that has been the lich pin of GW games and If I’m not feeling useful or good in that, then there is a big problem.
I’t is a bit late and I don’t feel like I articulated my point to well, but I’ll leave up to you guys to discuss. Shoot me down if i’m wrong, I’d love that so I can figure out what I’ve been doing wrong this whole time.
I can’t agree at all. As you iv’e been playing necro since 06:00 at launch day, NEVER have i felt bored, underpowered , overpowered , dull , slow or mainly unintressted in my class. I would say the opposite. I love the Necromancer over all classes and i have all except Elementalist. I know that Necros ain’t burst damage like Warriors / thief e.tc
But i love running around plagueing everyone! I got no problem 1v1 killing in PvP either. I mainly put my condition spec to full use and slowly kill them before they even have a chance to burst me.
My Necromancer is my greatest character. The only thing i feel that we lack are some kitten AOEs. The marks aren’t really that reliable =) But overall i love it.
Avoiding mobs are not an exploit or a bugg. With mobs you got 2 options. Fight or Avoid. That’s how it’s always been. The rule doesn’t change just because it’s a dungeon.
And exploit is where you do something that isn’t applied in the dungeon. Like skipping an entire event by jumping over a wall och bugging the NPC.
But regular mobskipping isn’t. Of course if you bugg the mobs or make them dissapear in a manner that isn’t intented it could be said that you are exploiting it.
For an example. The Magg path in CoF:
The event where you are protecting him while he plants a charge to blow a door, the mobs that spawns there are not unkillable but you will die if you try. By kiting them a k a avoiding combat you are not abusing or exploiting this event. But if you where to trigger something that made all those mobs go away while the charge timer still loads you are indeed exploiting this event. A common exploit was the double elementalist ressurection or jumping behind that door. Fortunate this exploit has been removed.
I did Arah yesterday for the first time. Yes we did skip mobs, but we did not exploit or bugg the system. We mainly used Mesmer portals to avoid some on the roads.
This is regular mob skipping not bugg / exploit.
You need a group with really good DPS. The main thing is to keep 3-4 players on the boss at all time while 1-2 takes out the crystals. The problem is though that it seems that only Guardians and Warriors are the only two classes that acctualy can take them out fast enought. So a slight nerf would be good.
the new patch for CoF is total BS! the mobs are impossible to kill. and dont the AoEs have any cooldowns? we tried to chain suicide and it didn’t work. we tried killing and when we jsut finished killing 1 mob, 3 more spawned. is it even doable after the latest patch? i wonder what the designers have been doing? anyone ever completed CoF after latest patch? isn’t dungeon meant for anyone? don’t tell me only a group of 5 guardians can survive the kiting?
Iv’e done it plenty today… it’s not impossible.. Just not the same as before, it’s a challange now. Learn by doing.. and don’t be such a whiner everytime things ain’t going your way.
Can’t say that you play to the Engineers potential here.. I mean if you really want the flamethrower build you are gonna have to find another way. For myself i got a very nice build on my engi, it give me around 1250 condition damdage. 1200 dmg = 100 dps/bleed.
Im very happy with it and yes, it’s hard 1v1 depending on wich class you face but overall with the piercing damage and that high dmg output the engineer needs no engineer to fix it.
