Guild Wars 2

I personally don’t main a thief, I play my necromancer 99% of the time. And I agree with what you have said and you illustrate a very good case.

It’s kind of unfair that thieves are getting nerfed just because people have trouble dealing with stealth which is one of the thiefs only saving graces.

On a small tangent: Don’t you dare nerf my Death Shroud (Only being able to activate with less than 25% health). xD

1. I like being part of a more unique class (rare), not often chosen by people as their main character. Most of the time I’m the only necromancer in the dungeon party, fractal party etc.

2. I like being underestimated. Many people think Necromancers aren’t very powerful or helpful to a party. I love proving them wrong and putting out more than my fair share in damage and crowd control.

3. I do like a lot of the weapon skills and utility skills like epidemic, ghastly claws and the condition applying scepter/dagger skills.

4. I like being able to stack 25 bleeds and then switch to burst damage with the damage hybrid build. (And apply stacks of vulnerability with the axe while bursting).

5. I like that we’re dark and cosmetically I’m very happy with my characters look. I also like the Reaver of the Mists axe and the Abyssal Scepter because they’re purple and glowy. It adds a nice final touch.

Perhaps we should gain a couple of achievement points each time we level up after level 80?

Just a thought. I don’t think that the issue is that we get achievement points from dailies and monthlies. I think we just don’t get them from enough different areas.

My Necromancer named Princess Midna of the Far Shiverpeaks server.

The skirt is ‘Whispers Leggings’ from Order of the Whispers armory, and the top is from the trading post called ‘Winged Tunic’. Gloves and boots are from the Vigil Armory, Demon Masque from character creation and shoulders are hidden.

Tried to base my character off Princess Midna from Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, because she’s Princess of the Twili Realm and the Twili use dark magic (Kind of like a necromancer). The only problems came that we can’t wear big dark cloaks in GW2 and light blue pale skin isn’t available for humans, also Midna’s orange hair and hood didn’t work. So I just stayed with the Demon Masque and dark hair.

Hope you enjoy!

I’d really like to be able to wear that in game. I hope it comes out eventually. Some NPCs have great armor and they’re already designed in the game, it couldn’t be too hard for Arenanet to release them for the players, could it?

Do you guys think part of the problem is that everything is soul-bound on equip?

I mean, that makes it impossible to sell all your equipment, to upgrade to the next tier. If things weren’t soul-bound you could just sell up now or later, and upgrade.

I agree with most of the original post.

I love the mechanics of GW2 and enjoy the combat and artwork greatly but I just feel like there isn’t much to do.

You could do a daily fractal, and then spend 10 minutes finishing up your daily achievements but that’s essentially all the end game content feels like at the moment. Unless you go to WvW or PvP and not everybody likes having to run around a WvW map setting up siege to capture buildings.

Dungeons and fractals are pretty much the only end game PvE content and they don’t have a feeling of longevity.

Perhaps I’m being overly critical because GW2 is a great game, I just feel like there’s not much to do once you get map completion and ascended gear etc.
