Guild Wars 2

Guard doese every thing 10 time better than SpellBreaker
More raw dmg + easy 4k 5k Ticks of bleed and burning…… AND STILL, HITS HARDER WITH RAW POWER DMG THAN SPELLBREAKER….
GUARD HAS UTILITY BEYONG IMAGINATION HEALING BUBBLES STABILITY

…….

And yet I didn’t mention how kitteny class is over all…..
IN hot we were a burden to every one THE MIGHT STACKing DUDE…..and all forced to play those ****** Temps ….same will be in POF?

Make the kitten classes word playing other wise this terrible community will force you to rerol again a kitten elem….

Am I the only one who noticed that NEW CLASS skill are made up from OLD animation which look 99% SIMILAR ?

Totally agree with author gw2 today and HOT is nothing that I loved in gw2 ….. I regretted every single penny I’ve spent on HOT , but I naver regretted money spent on original gw2 and all the cash shop stuff …..
I can’t play gw2 any more I tried and it’s terrible ….
Terrible restricted builds for any progression FORCED META BUILDS CLASSES SETS BY THE COMMUNITY AND SO ON ….plain terrible!
Imposssible to complete maps quest SP solo in HOT
In orriginal hot I could sit back and enjoy all world exploration …..now I have to die 10 times trying to solo a Skill Point in HOT usually untill a massive train comes and kill it…

There is no skill about HOT you people talk about it’s about power creep…..

Every one will leave this game screw this hamster wheel for tons of kitten rewards meaningless waste of time and life .Arena only promises and never deliver anything .
I should have quit in 2013 when they screwed every one with Fractured patch since then they continued on this road.

Well it means nothing WvW often have just terrible noobs
I haved 2 vs me as elem I had
3 vs me as necro …..
if you want to say something about balance it make no sens …. gw2 has lot of incredible terrible players

To be honest I agree with OP
REV had good DPS in PVE also great support now …..their DPS is mediocre …..Even my Power necro with Dagger pull off better DPS….

Blade and Souls sucks the end ……

CadeRG.4508:

I want everything on the list other than DPS meter.

Spot the casual without food buff ))) xD

Nice Poll

WOULD LOVE TO SEE DPS METER no no not to be meta kitten but because I always loved to theory craft in gw2 skills and this tool could help a lot to get original but same time dps effective build +10000
LFR maybe
But one of most important at the moment Dungeons …

About UI not my thing I love gw2 UI clean and fabulous )))

Deio.4182:

I miss a lot Dungeon in PvE. They said that they had plan for moving players from dungeon to raid but raid arent a casual gamer content, like dungeon..

So true

Latorn.4209:

If gold from dungeons is really an issue, they could at least increase the token rewards…

LOL good solution to a problem is always a simple, one that no one can see …totally agree !!
but now they are killed for community in order to get people back they will need to add something new and stimulating and daily would work great I think
Increase Token and daily like fractal hmm cool

Any hope to see in future a Skill effect option in setting where we could calibrate it?

I will explain some bosses even trash mobs often have 1 shoot skills but seeing it is almost impossible even in 5 man dungeon seeing a small boss humanoid animation and to react to it is impossible because of all the effect on him .

I as a melee lover find it very annoying

Fine I got it they wanted to cut off gold coming from dungeons …but how about :

1. NEW PLAYERS? FIRST Veterans will never be willing to run with them also there is barely any one in dungeon queue wonder dear devs. what new players think when they see empty dungeons …..

2. You reduced gold income and popularity of dungeons by 95 …… nerf then price for dungeon armor too by 75 will be fair enough ….. and make them unsalvageable if you are afraid ppl will make gold on it …..

Etien.4601:

Dungeons are dead. Deal with it. :/

No my dear Arena should deal with it they messed it up !!! are you happy with it? I doubt that …also during the dumb boredom of fractal started to to talk about this in map chat same point of view I received from numerous players …

Did I buy HOT so that DUNGEONS THAT where part of game for so many years to simply become void space in game ? I doubt that man ….

In order to show my point I’ve screened LFG tool with World events and fractal department

1. Is 1 gold that much for 15 20 30 minutes run ?

2. How about tokens getting skins now is barely possible …..OH charge me 40 euro more !!!! to be able to buy skins from cash shop …. Yes HOT I’m looking at ya ….

3.Why not add same daily system for dungeons and return to old 1 gold per path reward?

4. This will force people into doing dungeons exploring them especially if the will be daily for example doing arch with extra 1 gold reward extra 50 or 100 tokens and chance to get skin box …

Leave you constructive POV (Point of view) down bellow …

I personally think Dungeons reward should be increased so that community will get involved in it, this will also diversify content ……because doing Fractal all day is incredible dumb and boring also will be great to see similar daily for dungeons as we have for fractals now ..

zexion.5842:

weakness has -50% duration on bosses so you’re out of luck there

I’m, quite sure I could up keep it with necro on fractal bosses with something similar will try some how

Kidel.2057:

That’s a pretty solid build. However you could even be more tanky with actually more dps.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAsein3guNSuQ7JRboVlsP0rS4IaWJ4EdskFNFidMppNtBYBRwugJshA-TBCBABGt/gFHCgKV/5MlgAcCAyS5Xe6DC4JAEA4A43+23fDc+5nf+5n3v/+7v/+bpAiYMA-e

Superior Rune of Rage + Glint + Invoker’s Rage means 100% Fury uptime, so 10% more damage (rune 6th + trait) and 40% more crit chance. This allows you to gear for 52% crit chance, since it’s enough to reach 100% with food or a Warrior banner, or a Ranger passive effect (and go over 100% if 2 of those 3 things are in place), and use your remaining slots for Valkyrie or Cavalier stats.
Overall Fury is not a common boon compared to Might, so Rune of Rage really shines on rev.

As for the weapon, I’m probably going with Shield as melee off-hand (for PVE at least). Sword 4 is good, but 5 is useless. Also Shiro+Glint has some serious healing problems, and the 6504 heal from shield skills is something that can be worth the energy cost. When you talk about tank/support on Revenant it’s either shield or staff. The only thing I don’t like on Shield is the lock on skill 5, but it can change eventually, as it did with Engineer.

Problem is most of people I runned Fractals I always check their buff end with with 7 15 might stack while I with Full strength have 25 until the end of boss boss is dead and 5 8 second after I still have 25 stacks …..
Might Provide one of biggest Dmg boost That why max and up keep at max is so important while lot of people seems to ignore it .

About tankiness you will lose it first you will stack very little weakness This mean hits in you will fly not with 50% less dmg but all 100%
Then Vulnerability With Cond duration I think rev can solo stack 25 stack and this provides huge DPS boost to all party in you get in a pug that barely stack 10 stacks you lose dps again .

In a meata and perfectly matched build you will do more dmg for sure but you will get 50% more dmg from mobs because I rarely see people relaying on weakness and on using this condition .

About weapon Idk Staff seems good plus skill 5 used in Corners should be crazy and do up to 30 40 k dmg
I checked gw wiki and they increased nicely staff dmg so will see on beta the numbers
The only down side with staff is no 150 ferocity from dual wield and terrible vulnerability stacking

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

Like I said before, the stats are not tanky stats. Armor and Vit are very low.

how to say it more kindly I would not raid or do dungeons with you for anything in world …

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

Those stat for either build are no where near Tanky status.

I’m not saying there bad, but I wouldn’t call them Tanky.

@Kidel, nice power stat!

2390 armor is 16% Dmg mitigation …armor rating is a waste of stats
This build is tanky because it has
16 % mitigation from armor it has 33 % mitigation from Protection also a almost 100% weakness up keep which cuts out going dmg by 50 %

Lets say a tentacle in fract lv 50 dose 20 k in 1 hit
With weakness Tentacle will do only 10 k now add Protection and armor reduction
10 k dmg – 49 % and we have a 5 k hitting tentacle while without all this condition and boons will do 20 k
equivalent of this mitigation is around 15 k armor rating

3k armor guard will have only 20 % armor reduction with no dps 20k -20 % mitigation from armor = 16k hit

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAscinvN2gS6JvQRZlbosryPUYV5IKYs8ElFNFiNMppNtBYBRwugJshA-TBCBAB1s/Qlq/cmSQsUuBwTAILlE5pPIgTBgoAsL-e

Build Pros:
Hight DPS + (access to situational burst)
Decent Self Healing
Almost 100% Weakness up keep
Hight solo Vulnerability Stacking (Possible max need to test in game )
Permanent Protection , Fury , Might Stacking .( Should be easy to stack 25 might on him self )

Build Cons:
Not max DPS potential
Low Energy regen ( Limited to auto Attack most of the time In Herald Legend Better to save Energy For Sword Skill 3 for Self might stacking or situational Evade and Block from skill 4 )

Explanation why not Swift Termination but Assassin’s Annihilation
Swift Termination is a 10% boost if count for a full fight because 50% of time this passive is not working .
SO With Swift Termination we have 283% multiplier to our Crits
With Assassin’s Annihilation 273 % to our Crits
Calc Numbers are not Correct !!!

With Swift Termination With all items Might 1st Auto Attack has 1045Dmg + 283%+25 % from Vulnerability = and we have 5002 Crit Auto attack

Assassin’s Annihilation With all items Might 1st Auto Attack has 1045Dmg + 273%+25 % from Vulnerability = and we have 4800Crit Auto attack

Assassin’s Annihilation Deal 460 dmg and 300 heal with 1 Internal CD

From Aoe point of view we lose 200 Dmg vs Boss we get 200 extra Dps with 300 heal .

Shcolar rune will give 11 % (11% because Rune of strength give 5 % dmg ) more dmg but you must give up on Protection and get Faced with boom Duration
also most of the time you will deal 6 % more Dmg because from what I’ve seen people with meta build often get hp very low ….
Also Build with Scholar rune rarely hold 25 Might for full fight

Now that I explained meta mistakes

I will present Food and utility items This is butter and bread of this build

Skale Venom (10m): You have a 10% chance to inflict weakness and vulnerability for 5 seconds when you hit a foe.
This combined with :

Elemental Blast
Damage: 592
Pulse One; Weakness (4s): -50%
Pulse Two; Chilled (3s):
Pulse Three; Burning (3s)

with
Prickly Pear Pie
Nourishment food.png Nourishment (30 m):
+40% Condition duration
33% chance to steal life on critical

Note that this is additional 325 Dmg and 325 Heal

With These Consumable and skill you should be able to up keep Weakness from 90 % to 100%

With DPS consumables Auto Attack dmg 1108 + 277 Multiplier to crits +25 vulnerability= 5221

Decide for your self what’s better I think Life steal dmg compensate and give a longer melee encounter and as result more dps .

Rev in Heral legend will have 2391 Armor if I’m not wrong this is 16 % dmg Reduction now add Perma Protection 33% dmg decrees + perma weakness -50% incoming dmg and its add up to and amazing amount of dmg mitigation that is achievable with 15k armor only which is impossible as you probably know ^^

I would be glad if any one will test This build I have some problems with credit card and can’t buy the game but on the other hand not sure if I need to Pre order HOT will see …

*Also Start Fight in Shiro Legend Cast Enchanted Daggers Switch to Herald Cast Facets then use skill 3 by CD until you have 25 might when you reach max Might Try to use Mostly Auto attack and save Up Energy For Evade and Block skills *
That it !))

If I made mistakes or you have suggestion fell free to leave a comment .
Also I want to know what you guys think about it !!

Necro is worst class to play in PVE

1. hard to get a team last days I didn’t do Fractals because there were mostly Meta groups ….
2. hate towards necros … Just as in screen
3. This class has good sustainability but so do Guards still we bring little support to team

Yes necro has lovely Auto Attack on Dagger + Wells Decent Dps but is not comparable with 5 sec I think CD Hundred Blade of Warriors that does 30 k + with lost of Warrior Party Dps buff

Honestly Gw2 community became extremely Snobbish and if you dont play a Meta build or meta class you won’t get party fast even if you are good exp player with 4 5 k hours played … oh well I have a Guard but I love necro I simply wont log on to the game until Arena Fix this crap …

Arena gave Guards instead of their old kittened Tomes an Best Shout ever With Quickness while necro still has it useless Transforms and Useless Golem that dies in one random boss auto attack

i can’t blame player too they are partially right Necro for party is LOADOFkitten

Brazil youtuber Proved that necro has decent dps but ppl still dotn care as long as necro dont have some decent party support this class will never provide and nice Pve game experience right now only thing you’ll get is frustration kick frustration and kick

Armor : 5 Assassin 1 Zerk
Weapon : Staff Zerk
Accessory: Full zerk

Perma Protection + perma Weakened + 2600 armor decent dmg mitigation with max DPS possible

Kirigato.7183:

Is necromancer,guardian or warrior better at tanking

All of them have good and bad sides

Necro Selfish but can take hits if you up keep wekened I stack up to 37 sec on bosses +life steal and dagger fast speed work great skill 2 that heals for 4 k now is very helpful as well

Guard Focus skill 5 is good but it s block are gone fast also you have few agies on fast use that also will mitigate 100% of dmg if you manage to use them on time but good luck with that also Guard has acces to 2 skills that mitigate 100% dmg for 4 to 6 second ur immune shorter also you have 1 wall that reflect projectile and 1 bubble with same characteristics

War idk didn’t played for years it I heard it was nerfed badly so I will say nothing here

If you want a party orientated Support defense GUARD
If you want a melee DPS that can take huge hits and fast reheal and get back into fight Necro Build I sent you in my exp tank better than Guard
1 necro has Huge hp pool and many fast heals + wkenened that reduce dmg by 50 % is very nice game play BUT its not meta and not a popular way to play
Right now gw2 suffer from noobish Meta Zerk feaver that often aren’t very skill full
gw2 community is split so play how you enjoy the game

Necro zerk /with perma weakened is best thing I had experienced in dungeons
Use protection on wells and bosses that 1 shot will barely do to you 25 % dmg
DMG is decent and ofter much better than other classes that get dawned easily or are forced for 1 min to go range after 1 2 hits
Most of melee meta classes very often are forced to switch to range while my melee necro most of the time is melee
Also my build up keep chill up to 60 % of fight which is a win bc boss use his skill not so often D/F is best Vulnerab that will make ur Dagger hit harder + chill Dagger auto is amazing fastest skill in game One of best auto in game also necro benefit from it with Vaperism .
Use wells on CD as they are you burst skills that will make even Elem ice bow Jelly
Blood Spite Cure you can be full zerk with 100 % crit chance
use shroud as Fury buff on CD

Necro is good yes it lacks party DPS support but necro on defensive side is WIN WIN

Necro now just luck a execution skill Dagger need one with a huge chunk of burst dmg skill

But we wil get 1 in HOT gs

DUDE play necro is an amazing class TANKY DPS monster in good hands but in HOT it will be even more scary

Also Most of EXP zerk Fractals I had 90 % of time are faster an better than meta LFG that is fool of noobs that just copy paste build from metacom
Today did lvl 50 fract in 26 min whiel One day stuck for 1 hour with Meta noobs
just play what you feel and enjoy

Kidel.2057:

No, you are not. You’re making the same mistake that 50% of this subforum makes. You’re thinking as we have 5 utility skills and we have to avoid spending all our energy, or we are supposed to camp one legend. Same reason why people ask for energy regen skills (when we already have a huge one).

Nothing bad happens if you consume all your energy, just legendswap. Bad management is when you consume all of it before swap cd is ready or if you end up being unable to use a skill you wanted to use. And actually a worse management is not swapping legend at all.
We even have Facet of Nature regardless of legend so we can boon support after swap.

You could Activate all your facets and keep them active for more then 10 seconds, then legendswap being able to use 5 new skills with no cd and 50 energy to use, then activate Nature 2nd effect and give even more boons for free. Your other legend can be Mallyx to heal conditions on allies, Jalis to support with stability or Dwarf Rite (50% damage reduction, stacking with Protection for 80% reduction), Ventari to heal and support even more, or Shiro to do more damage and CC.

That’s just an example and a BAD way to use Glint, but it should be enough to prove that you’re not limited in any way.

You need damage? Activate Might and Fury facets, maybe also Nature. You need to survive? Activate Regen and Protection facets. At -1 pip it takes 100 seconds to run out of energy. That is a huge amount of time.
And of course, you’re free to spam weaponskills as any other class. If your energy is over just legendswap. If you have almost 0 energy and you still want to use Glint for healing, then deactivate a facet and doubletap the healing one, it only requires 1 energy lol.

And if you only use the upkeep passive effect, then you legendswap, you don’t eve have CD on the facet when you swap back.

People say “we need energy regen skills” basically because they want to camp 1 single legend instead of managing 10 skills, but that’s the whole point of being a Revenant. Legendswap IS the class mechanic. I’ll kick from my group any Revenant that doesn’t legendswap at least 2 times every minute, lol.

If you don’t legendswap, then your energy and skill throughput is objectively way lower then how it should be.

Thanks this was helpful

Herald suddenly don’t look that promising because :
In order to become meta support we need Facet of Nature in order to stack effectively Might and I still doubt if we can manage to do it now .

So facet of Nature -2 energy what other facets are worth using? Facet Of Darkness -2 Facet of strength -2 and Facet of Chaos -5 in total -11
lets remove well…… Facet of nature ? but I doubt that we will even stack 10 might without it so now without facet of nature we have -9

But S/s skill 2 cost 5 energy skill 3 15 energy skill 4 10 + 10 energy skill 5 15

Thinking about it now Boon master doesn’t seems that good any more because you are restricted only to use Auto Attack

Am I right ?
Now Warrior
Battle Standard for 60 sec Furry Might stacking and Swiftness ?… and best in game revive Utility
For Great Justice 8 sec Fury with 25 sec CD +3 Might
Banners !70 Precision 170 Ferocity 170 power for 90 sec with 120 CD Also All banners are blast finishers ….
And warrior is free to use all his skills without any limitations
Thinking about it now Herald Boon Master isn’t that attractive …

What you guys think?

Evolution of Guardians XD

1. remove energy cost on facet of nature as it is our F2 Butter and bread Facet
2. Then test and see if Rev. can stack 25 might if not, add 1 sec to base boon duration of Shared Empowerment so until you get optional boom duration so that Rev can hold 24/25 Stacks
I agree without ICD it would be extremely OP in WVW in SPVP
…..I would love this change

Roy Cronacher.1576:

This trait works differently then Phalanx Strength as that is personal applied might, this is any boon you apply triggers it. There needs to be an ICD since you can have many facets on at once pulsing out many boons, plus boons from traits. that would mean it would trigger multiple times per facet and with multiple facets active it would mean potentially like 20-25 might stacks AOE every 3s. If anything, we could tweak duration or stacks if it doesn’t feel good enough when you all get a chance to play it.

I want Roy as dev for each class especially for Necros))

Kidel.2057:

Roy Cronacher.1576:

I’ll take a look at tweaking the sword AA animations to feel smoother.

I don’t really think those are an issue, however why didn’t you use the same animations for sword AA on Guardian/Warrior/Mesmer?

Skill effects, cleave and hits are good however. Hoping an eventual change would only affect the swing animation.

I swung a sword™
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZp1qHOBBgc

I agree with this pal just copy mesmer animations re work tail animation into misty tails on swing make swing fater because mesmer is rather slow and would be great I think
I think mesmer has one of best sword animation in game plus quite beautiful…. wish I would see something similar on Rev..
Slash Slash with tail of mist and Stab with rift explosion

Sword auto attack is dull so not appealing . Rest of skills feel great and look as good ..
Staff auto loved especially on asura ( this little maniacs always get best animations )

But sword AA is lackluster I wish it had a different animation like mesmer sword

Herald give very good boons support and some dmg boost first because of it utility I can get runes with more dps also i add up great to mu DPS bunker build based on self heal debuffing and dmg mitigation
In theory on calculator looks good will see when beta come …. I was a bit sad fro Necro Gs but I reroll to reventant so I will join next beta ^^

Focus is gud ! Dagger need love
Dagger 3rd skill is most dull and crappy skill in da game

I’ve heard people in chat saying they lag they are from Russia Ukraine …. now I lag in Portugal
I don’t think its my provider lot of people suddenly started to lag like hell from all over ..

I started to think arena don’t give a single kitten about Necro and how bad and useless this class is for party
Unility 0 blast 0 Blocks Immune Stability 0 DPS worst in game except maybe mesmers because they do gud dps only when 3 Phantasm are up but in dungeon this will happen rarely ….but they will get much better with new spec which will make Phantasm up time longer ….. while Reaper doesn’t provide anything for PVE …

Only in PVP we will shine with dagger horn and reaper in Valkyrie and 100 % crit

I didn’t mention our Elite any one is using them any more ?
GOLEM useless kitten that either not attacking on getting 1 shotted by bosses …
Plague ( not even used in WvW any more )
Lich Not that great casts even on auto ( dagger auto have more dps) rest of the skill has such a huge cast that Lich will run off while you cast them …..
New Shout WOW thanks …… kidding useless long cast crap even plague is more useful

Chill is useless crap…. I beg arena remove this OP CHILL from auto ( how arena thinks ) and give to auto something more useful ……. just hands down for reaper …

I said dozen of time Gs dps will be far worse than dagger …. only deluded minds hoped for something

Warrior New Elite Specialization Berserker revealed

90 140 + 900 from Gs auto attacks what you want more That heel of a lot of DPS RS auto attack should be nerfed as well 1500k 1500 1500 3k IS TO OPP!!!!!! (sarcasm) Those who will play in PVE with reaper and Gs will have more hate than necros running current top dps build available to necros…

WvW necros Run mainly in Zerk not good build no offense

Easy make Dagger and GS good power dps weapons equal to other classes
necro Dagger +well has good Dps for very short time and in these few second were are close to top DPSsers
Problem is that other classes can sustain their DPS because its purely from weapons with short Cd while necro relay on DPS from Utility skills.

Giving Necro Good utility wont help because we will be ignored for our lack of DPS without Wells but now with support even if support is good we will be ignored

Necro Need to be balanced in DPS numbers and to add a few good support skills Like Spectral Wall destroy projectiles and some Shout Elite that give Quickness fury or other good stuff .

I love to play Necro and I do great with it Love doing fractals lvl 50 but its frustrating most of the time you’ll be kicked and is hard to find nice ppl who dont mind necro .
I ber this would make necro break into meta builds but it wont happen
first it might be unbalanced in PVP WvW we have great selfish sustain and if they will add and great DPS equal to other classes might be a bit OP
Oh wait there are seem classes like this Guard elem )))stil I will not hope for the best so far Reaper Looks terrible and there is no reason to think positive about it . Thi sis my POW few penny into necro balance

A bit behind ? Dagger is a bit behind other classes with Help of wells …without wells we are far worse than any class DPS that gives much better dps only with WEAPON SKILL SET ….and this is sad

necro almost 0 important support for group content

Mean while in order to Keep up with DPS we give up 2 of our utility skill …..even if they will add utility DPS will be lower because we will swamp to new utilities while dagger best our dps weapon will still be same… So only utilities wont help …..

draugris.9872:

Charblaze.6958:

@draugris: from what we know they made huge improvements to the Revenant after the previous BWE, like adding weapon swap.

If they are really willing to listen and act on feedback like they did for Revenant, this is our best chance to make the Reaper right.

The thing is, we don´t know if that wasn´t their intention anyway. But let´s assume that not. Weapon swap on Revenant is a big change (for the better this time imho) but i am not sure if it´s a clever thing to do to make such big changes to a class after having the feedback or data from only one weekend. Because such knee jerk balance changes have always the potential to break more than they fix.

And that´s my problem with Anet in general. Either they don´t listen at all and in the end we have this Mesmer / Burn Guardian and Ele cancer like it is now. Or they do listen and make really big changes based on the feedback of a weekend. And all this with the policy in mind that balance changes occur only every six months. GW2 has become a “Flavor of the month” game where people play whats OP for that time frame. From the people who roam in WvW 8 out of 10 i see are mesmers or medi guards.

This is in no way a consistent and reasonable way to balance a game of that dimensions and it´s definitely not the right way to interact with the community.

Brilliant post !

I rerolled guard just lvl 7 but necro I’m not going to play any more tried PVP kitten so much easier and 1v1 win ratio is much higher and is much funnier to play than that cursed necro I wish I could get back my time spent on Necro
You guys also should have noticed most lvl 50 are meta build which mean necro will get insta kicked as always .

Additionally I will leave this here this is 45 min on lfg tool with necro GJ arena you made a clkittened by every one including those who play necro

You do realize that multiple groups there include Necromancers, right? Maybe it’s the fact you were asking for level 40 instead of being a Necro? Random Agony seems like an instability folks would rather avoid or get better rewards for (level 50).

I run daily Fractal 50 40 and is same rarely rarely I find a group of nice people who dotn mind and do the daily still its frustrating
When I decided to make these screens I already had done lvl 50

Funny is that When I joined to team I was insta kicked and only after I showed my gear they decided to let me run with them after I joined second time
But notice what crazy demand for war for ele I wish i had made screen when PPl were typing no necro xD

Also if you look careful you find there are lvl 40 groups but again necros not welcome necro are bad necro have no dps necro not meta insta kick necro
Its you fault arena you made necro a terrible reputation
Give MORE BUFFS TO ELE next meta in HoT will be 5 Ele or 5 Hammer Guards

I rerolled guard just lvl 7 but necro I’m not going to play any more tried PVP kitten so much easier and 1v1 win ratio is much higher and is much funnier to play than that cursed necro I wish I could get back my time spent on Necro

Additionally I will leave this here this is 45 min on lfg tool with necro GJ arena you made a clkittened by every one including those who play necro

I hoped Reaper could make a change for this class but no ….just remove necromancers from the game

Silverkey.2078:

Bhawb.7408:

More high quality “balance” from ANet. Greatsword is as slow as Guardian Hammer with a fraction of the damage, they loaded ICDs onto anything that might have been useful, Rise! is still garbage, good stuff all around, nothing new to see here just Necro as usual.

This is actually a good comparison. Hammer has indeed higher damage coefficients (although it somewhat depends if the enemy remains in the symbol), not to mention hammer has both heavy CC and a some support.
And don’t go and claim that necro has a higher survivability than a guardian!!!

And blast on 5 sec CD that in armor zerk and Captain Accessory dose 2k dmg
If comparing necro to Guard you’ll be shocked how kittened necro are

Tommyknocker.6089:

Great sword looks cool as in concept, but I will be using dagger with either focus or war horn for the lf gen switching to a staff as a secondary (higher damage in RS) and range. The 5 target cleave means nothing to me on a SLOW AS KITTEN weapon so I will just build LF quickly, switch and spend my time cleaving in RS. But at least I save the time making an ascended GS.

This Even If I will buy HoT now I’m not so sure any more I will run with reaper spec but with dagger …. GS is not even close to dagger dmg output + dagger has 3500 heal on skill 2 why the hell would any necro use this terrible gs….. it makes no sens …. just like DPS Staff build in fractal of Axe with that Terrible low auto attak dps …
Its sad…
I’m actually leveling a guard now in case Arena continue to not give a dime for necro players

Necro looks terrible all of the guys were destroyed . Funny how on last one bold guy with necro vs guard that was avoiding Gs attacks…….Reaper is crap GS easy avoidable low dmg extremly low Dagger auto attak is 3 time faster and better base dmg Wet dreams of slow but hard hitting necro will not come to life and remain simply wet dream in delusional head
Since Reaper release I spent time farming getting ascended Legendary … and now I don’t even want to play gw2 ….. SO much Frustration from this class
We can openly say Necromancer is worst and most hated class in gw2

Well of Suffering already does exactly this (yes for both Power and Condi builds). Shoot! GG. Otherwise, +20% damage to any enemy standing in a Well would be stupid broken OP.

Any Class can apply Vulnerability he wants something that only necros will have some KIND OF DUBUFF like in WOW that only Dark Knight could apply . Or How Guard symbol now work that buff dmg on enemies that are in symbols

but this will not help necros become meta …..as long as there are Elems with of Ice bow….

Warrior Power Crit Ferocity buff all all party Plus Banner res and might stacking + some of best DPS skills in game Hundreads blade
Then Thief in some dungeons is must have to skip useless trash Great DPS
Then mesmer Port And Projectile Reflect quickness kitten DPS unless 3 phantasm are up but In lvl 50 fractals they die to fast to be viable … so DPS is quite trash My necro will outrun mesmer easy the onyl problem is that Mesmer has good party support
Guard Reflects Might Boons and lot of them

Necro ? Raw DMG ? that isn’t even best in game ? Vampiric aura ? 60 Hp per hit ? While Elem with On dodge can heal for 2 k Or water field blast blast and all party 100% Hp

necro is one of worst classes in game ….I will reroll revenant and suggest this to every one

More like a last bite that some creatures in real life do … its completely normal
Headless Snakes Can Still Kill You
Octopus Tentacles still can move react after you cut it off Maw tentacle react quite realistically ))) it’s all legit
