Guild Wars 2

Poplolita.2638:

Anyway, it’s quite sad that this thread attracted people like the one you listed in your post. Those are indeed trolls. Just ignore them.

Yes mate, i know, you’re right….. I said before i was used to the forums being overrun by trolls and other individuals who have no idea about anything, they just post for the sake of it.
Here on the forums, where nobody pawns them, where nobody sees their low skill or their general stupidity, here they fancy themselves very interesting and smart.

Furious.2867:

…it all seems like a blur to me but I think the last time necros got a buff was from the June 2013 update. Then everything went downhill from there. It’s still a fun class to play but the margin for errors aren’t as forgiving

yup. i also play war and guardian. They are miles easier and more efficient, especially the warrior. I can usually 1v2 with warrior and win, sometimes even hold my own 1v3. Yet with necro, 1v1 is a challange and 1v2 is just hope to hang on untill some1 gets there…

When you get in top 500 come back and post. until then you two look like parrots rambling about things that surpass your skill level.

It’s been a year or more since i last posted on the forums.
I tend to avoid it because one: nothing really gets done. And two: last i remember the forum community was filled with id*ots contradicting good topics and giving all kinds of brain dead advice. Not to mention the part were they act like they are gw2 game gods.
For example the issue i’ve posted is very real. Yet the first people to post were a bunch of trolls:
seanshine.8791
NeXeD.3042
Muchacho.2390
Pelopidas.2140

All these guys besides being offensive and implying im a noob although they have no idea what they are talking about, none of them make the Leaderboards.

Dear trolls, when you actually get in the first 1000 in spvp, maybe then you could give some advice regarding how to play a necro. Untill then, you have no idea how it is to play necro at high tier pvp, therefore you cannot give your input regarding the class balance when you never faced a real good opponent.

This is strictly regarding PVP because there’s where the real challenge is at.

So despite the necromancer being one of the more harder to play classes, it’s also one of the least rewarding. It takes a lot of effort to successfully play a necro well in pvp, yet it falls short out of most classes.

-I personally enjoy condition necro, which most of you know in current meta, it’s pretty bad.
-If you play minion necro, it’s even worse…the AI on the minions is next to ret**ded besides other issues.
-If you play power necro, it’s somewhat better at 1v1 engagements but still less effective than a warrior or guardian or thief or mesmer…or most classes

So basically however you put it, necromancers fall short, besides being a difficult class to master.

In the current state, i’d say it’s somewhat of a “bad” support class. Support class because most of the stuff you can’t do by yourself, and “bad” because it’s pretty much weak at supporting too.
If you think this is normal Anet, then pls specify in Character Creation: “Necromancer – weak support class, mostly ineffective”. So that people can avoid it in time and not get to fall in love with it.

An easy solution would be to aviod playing necro in pvp, but a lot of people, including myself, simply love this class. I wouldn’t trade it for any warrior/guardian/mesmer/thief even as weak as it is.

Please enhance the necro class and bring it up to level with the others. It’s current state is depressing. Make conditions more effective or give it an escape mechanic, personally, i think making condition damage more effective on the necro class, would be the best choice

So i have a Gigabyte R9 280X Winforce OC (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4847#ov) and when i play, after some time it randomly crashes. It either goes black-screen or the image is frozen. Sound still seems to be going or at least looping.

I have to ctrl+alt+delete, shut down program. It says Gw2 not responding.

Anybody else has this problem??

My specs:
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=4151#ov)

Hard disk Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA3 64MB
GPU – Gigabyte R9 280x Winforce OC (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=4847#ov)
Dual Channel 8GB Ram
PSU- Corsair VS650, 650W (CP-9020051)

Do you guys feel like the necro minions are somewhat unresponsive in spvp?
I often find myself fighting the enemy, targeting them with skills’n everything and my minions just sit there…chillin.
Or im running on the map and i come across an enemy but my minions are nowhere to be found. They finally reach me when im down 50% life. And often it’s not all of them.
Other times I’m in the middle of the fight, minions beside me, i activate a minion skill, but they don’t do anything. And sometimes they do activate, but late…like uselessly late.

So Im not really sure this is a bug so bear with me, and if it’s not, pardon me for posting.

I was experiencing with specs and traits for spvp and noticed something. If you change items with specs (like amulets), all your stats corresponding to Vitality, Toughness, Healing power, Attack damage specs get changed, except, in Necromancer case, Condition Damage and Condition Duration corresponding to Precision and Power specs.

Example:
So if I take “Soldier’s Amulet” every stat will change, according to it’s spec, except Condition Duration (corresponding to Power).
If you take “Barbarian’s Amulet”, which has Precision, every stat will change according to it’s spec, except Condition Damage (corresponding to Precision).

Notice my stats in Picture 026, I have no amulet equipped.

Then in picture 027, I equip “Soldier’s Amulet”, everything changes accordingly except Conditions Duration (which should have changed in regard to Power).

And then in 028, I equip “Barbarian’s Amulet”, all stats change accordingly except Condition Duration (which should have changed in regard to Precision).

NOTE: I’ve used amulets that have NO built-in Condition Damage or Condition Duration on purpose.
