Guild Wars 2

Pve = More Damage or More Utility.
Pvp = More Mobility or Scaleable Defence
WvW = More Mobility or Ranged Power Weapon

Sugesstions:

Flesh Wurm: Remove necrotic traversal. Replace with Wurmhole: Sacrifice your flesh wurm to open and travel through a Wurmhole to the Flesh Wurms location. Wurmhole remains open for 6 seconds. May not be used by allies. Range 1200

Warhorn 4/ Dagger 5: Blast Finisher
Axe: Range increased to 900. Damage increased by 5%
Axe 2: Whirl finisher

And maybe, since we are cutoff from our utilities in DS and we have some problems in some different areas maybe we need DS specific utilities, but maybe they should have long cooldowns or blow all your DS to use even one for risk/reward. They should be the same regardless of what shroud you are using or if you are underwater. Ok so ill try to invent some life force blowing cooldowns that cover some of our scaleable defence, mobility and utility options while also adding pops for power and condi builds. I dunno maybe something like:

DS6: Frozen flesh- Consume all your life force, ending ds to become invulnerable for 3 seconds. Attacks against you during this time chill attackers. 90 second cooldown.

DS7: Grip of Dhuum – Consume all your life force, ending ds to send out a grasping hand at a targeted foe that erupts their conditions, consuming them, and dealing damage to them and foes around them in an area for each condition consumed. 90 sec cooldown. 900 range

DS8: Vampiric Embrace- Consume all your life force, ending ds to teleport to a targeted foe, siphon health from foes in an area, then teleport you and your targeted prey back to your starting point. Range 900. 90 second Cooldown.

DS9: Plaguespreader – Consume all your life force, ending ds to gain resistance for 3 seconds and copy conditions to nearby foes for the next 6 seconds. Radius 300

Elite: Army of the Dead – Consume all your life force, ending ds to give you and your allies Fury (6s), Might (6 stacks for 6s) and Spectral Armor (6s protection and party stunbreak). 240 second cooldown. Puts non DS elites on cooldown.

I dunno. Wishful thinking I suppose. Tweaking current things isn’t working maybe we just need some new things. But I feel having the ability to sacrifice your DS defence for some utility/damage could be the right track, without making us uber gods.

I try to use inspirations but also adhere to racial naming conventions where possible. I take my inspirations from cartoons, anime, tv shows, books, games and mythology

Gir Dhuumsinger – Charr Necro inspired by Gir from Invader Zim
Inhumer Zimm – Asura Necro inspired by Invader Zim and Ankh Morporks inhuming services.
Mako Tyrell – Human Ele inspired by FFVII and Game of Thrones.
Gunnar Tyrson – Norn Ranger inspired by Tyr Anasazi of the Kodiak tribe out of Victoria by Barbarossa from Andromeda and Gunnar, King of the Giukungs from Norse Mythology
Crixus Fullmetal – Charr Engie inspired by Crixus from Spartacus and Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist.
Mystique Darkhölme – Sylvari Mesmer inspired by Raven Darkhölme aka Mystique (not using correct naming culture – character for a Heros vs Villians night we are having)
Medium Small – Asura Revenant (Holding name in advance) inspired by the TV Show Medium, the surname Small and the obvious play on words. Hilariously, at last to me, it still fits Asura naming cultural rules perfectly.

Equality and diversity doesn’t mean treating everyone the same, but recognising that individual needs are met in different ways.

If you need to have a group supporting Heterosexuality, because you feel that you need to be surrounded by like minded individuals from any reason from bullying to politics than go ahead. If you would like to have a straight pride event, please take one of the 364 days of the year where the heterosexuality community is the frontrunner for all major decisions, politics, religion and media as a good sign that things are going well for your people. Throw on some beige, and some spanks, and you march down that street with your head held high. I will support you and your rights, though they differ wildly from my own.

If however you are trying to start a hate group, its against GW2 terms of service.

Watching the stream duels, and the signet build, all I can say is we are going to thrash every other condi class.
Our number of condi transfers is really insane.
None of the other classes’ condi builds are going to survive us.

boon stacking classes also need to prepare to cry with the number of boon to condi conversions our signets throw out.

WE ARE THE STRONGEST!!!!

Nos was cancelcasting signets to build more might than should be possible faster than possible while keeping his passives. And Chaith had no idea what build Nos was using and therefore had no idea how to counter it.

I am not going to base my perceptions based on one streamers first encounter with an unknown build and a game glitch that will be rectified almost immediately.

it is the people that cry Op without being levelheaded and taking all factors into account that get a class nerfed in beta and kept nerfed for 3 years. You think you are helping Necros, but you are just as bad as the people screaming that the sky is falling. You have no objectivity. You are completely and hopelessly biased. Thats why some people think, probably wrongfully so, that you are a troll.

i dont believe your rankings take the vigor nerf into account or you might have reshuffled some of these choices.

So a guardian, a warrior, a thief and 22 eles stacked in a corner with icebow. seems fun.

Did you really ask for no more trenchcoat skins,
then tell them about how you spend so much gold/cash on outfits in the gemstore?

Why would they give you what you want so that you stop giving them gold/cash?

So…10 pages…not going to read them all…but the lesson I think Anet is giving us based on the nerfs and damage done to necros is: “Don’t play a necro”. They totally messed up the skills “Consume Conditions” and “Spectral Walk” so much they are useless. And, to add insult to injury, some idiot thought it was a great idea to have that as a new Necro’s starting heal skill. Awesome job. On what magical planet does a heal skill make it so you’re totally squishy in a heated battle??

On the other hand, now it has a good synergy with condition transfer skills like Putrid Mark and Deathly Swarm or Well of Power, for example.

You want us to pop a defensive cooldown to recover from our healing skill? in what possible way is that fair. If i was going to pop those cooldowns it’d be before CC ate all the conditions on me. The only synergy here is thematic

Asking for a Nerf to Nerfomancer! LMAO.

Are you having trouble stomping a Nerfo? Do you somehow think that a character in the downed state means you’ve already won? Would you rather nerf something than actually improve? Than maybe you should apply for a games design job at Arenanet!

Now hiring! Unless you play nerfomancer!

EremiteAngel.9765:

how do you know I don’t main necro?

Just a guess but I assume he read your opening post.

Do we need exotic or ascended insignias/ inscriptions? I’d like to get myself prepared for this. Also do backpieces count as armor or trinkets for this? they get damaged like armor.

This is literally the best thing you could have done. Allowing us to not only switch stats on gear we may/may not want in the coming weeks, and keeping Ascended @5% so that it stays optional/optimal and not mandatory.

My necro might still not be wanted in high end, but kitten it, at least i’ll be blinged out in the latest fashions.

Idgaf about the shameless and relentless nerfing of a class thats already suffering, but I was hopeful that they were trying to bring us useful party support.

#Unique=/=Useful

Thank you for telling us to L2P and then only talking about holding our own 1v1, an unsupported game mode. That’s not insulting at all.

Now explain why we’re so awesome that we are not wanted in PVE/Dungeons/Fractals. Sure we do ok and are tolerated, but thats hardly the same thing as desired now is it? Explain why Boss fights that are trivial for 7 other classes are so much harder for us? Explain how you stay up in a team fight versus people who are focusing the necro first because we have no escapes. Tell me about all our awesome party support that makes us so unique and desirable we are wanted in all gamemodes. Tell me how skillful positioning makes up for our lack of /low access to vigour, block, evade, invulnerable, aegis, protection, blinks, stealth, distortion, leaps, charges, fire fields, water fields, static fields, smoke fields, auras, blasts, finishers, projectile reflect, projectile block, Oh and stability. I don’t know about you but sometimes I like to just stand there and be the ball when warriors decide to use me to play Golf. FORE!

Because if its all a L2P issue then i really want to know.

Or you could tell us another story of how you killed the only thief in wvw, who did not know how to use one of his six billion disengages to get away. The only game mode where we are actually wanted.

I didnt want to say this but it looks like you are suffering from confirmation bias and inflated ego, that has blinded you to our problems because they dont affect you personally. This is a L2p issue.

Maybe I’m old fashioned and unoriginal but I like my mesmer weapons to look like maybe they are all in your mind!
