Gandara should be disqualified due to free transfers and what not
Joking aside there are others who really have earned a disqualification, not server but players. Just sad to see how little has been done to eradicate them off the servers.
Disqualification because I took a free transfer & thus Gandara won by default??
Jokes aside as with my friend here (I had to triple work my kitten off in Gandara WvW as new arrival) It was really disheartening seeing reports of people cheating with no apparent action, justice should not just be done, it must be seen being done.
Excuse my bluntness but stop whining about Gandara as if it won by default simply by free transfers, AFAIK Piken had free server transfers too.. and I’m sure people like me coming from servers scraping the bottom of the WvW ladder (Underworld) were given an opportunity to integrate fast & work our kitten off to help the server out seeing that for the first time in over a year we had a chance & darn if we worked hard, I stayed up at the oddest hours, established as much bridges as I could with the people “native” to the server seeing me and many others like myself as newcomers with no idea of our potential….
Let me tell you straight, don’t make a mockery of our sacrifices by underestimating our contributions as if and I repeat our free transfer gave the server a default win, far from it, it gave us an opportunity on which we had to work very hard to make the most of it.
I respect rivals server for their contributions but so I expect that nobody bears such low sour grapes.
I remember going 6/4/0/0/4 with spectral build/Close to death, full rampager armor & Lich form as Elite & conserve it till phase 2 then go haywire on with it while minding her AOEs & watch her melt. Edurance food and sharpening stone are essential.
I figured opting on Well of Power on Stomping but with the ridiculous 1s stability I don’t see the point unless it’s buffed for the whole duration of the well (5s).
They stay long range most of the time (it’s a longbow skill) with very low CD, significant stealth time (3s)& kept out of target. usually able to burst you down through your DS very quickly.
Each Profession has 3 Elite skills so far (3 racial excluding norn who have 4), so I don’t see this coming unless they added a new Elite (which would be nice to see) on each Profession.
This would certainly a brilliant kind of Elite to have on the Necromancer.
Hi all, I often see that the necromancers are losing advantage of survivability in death shround =) . Sad result now is the death of the zones and shadows of Liadri the Concealing Darkness. I’d really like to know why in this arena necromancers simply die in our second life while other classes (thieves and mesmers) quietly disappear or even dont recieve damage using abilities. Now death shround is wery weakness skill, but necromancers dont have good save abilities like invulnerability, invisibility, instant teleport, banner(pet) of revival, revival skill in fight to survive or instant maximum heal ability. Now im ask the question: what ability save the necromancers except death shround?
Sorry if I have to differ but you’re departing on the wrong assumption on what function death shroud is suppose to serve. I’ve beaten Liadri with my Necromancer and in my strategy the Deathshroud had a two-fold purpose, one was AOE torment infliction & more importantly damage mitigation until my next healing CD & in this context it served it’s purpose very well. Nothing wrong/Nothing bugged.
To answer your question to a certain extent, Spectral armor/ Well of Power/ Signet of the locust. Other used their own strategies but these were of great help to me.
I’m on underworld & can confirm this, reported to ANet, not a sign of help, they probably won’t fix it until the next update in 2 days. In the meantime we’ll just suck it, they won’t care as much.
Forget Daily Fractal runner if it’s not fixed today, yesterday we even tried guesting with others on their servers & still bonked for us.
I just submitted a report in the same regard… These bugs have been on since yesterday. From all the servers, is underworld a 3rd class server now?!? ANet better make sure they don’t give that impression.
Necro does great in WvW Zergs big or small down to a few people but in the situation you describe when caught alone, Avoid, Run, Hide, they’ll wear you down before you realize it wasn’t worth the effort… rather face a thief.
I never dreamed I’d say this but miss my June 25th pre-patch Necro, perhaps true it was a laughing stock of a profession but at least I could go around some good variety of builds.
Now all I have is a profession with no better alternative but being cornered to keep up life force & cower in Deathshroud with big fear of heights.
Today when I logged in I found a gloves skin from the achievement chest, thing is that the preview showed it only for heavy armor, since I didn’t know what to choose and I only have a warrior using heavy armor I resigned on choosing radiant then seeing later.
To my shock & surprise when I opened the gloves I saw that they gave the skins for light and medium as well!!!
The previewing of the gloves being for heavy armor only is definitely a bug. I was misguided in the wrong choice and would like them replaced with the hellfire gloves now, Will ANet help me please!?
I leveled my warrior..read well, THREE days.. Granted I sped leveled.. but by how much can you beat that? That mentioned, The Necro was fairly easy to level.
That’s very likely to happen in the next patch which is why I simply re-shelved the Necro a few days ago, might as well since I’m not into getting shellshocked with a nerf immediately after getting up to standard. Noting I’ve had the upper hand with my Mesmer over some Necro’s in WvW I don’t see any need for change, and all good of they didn’t take place.. means I can bring my Necro out again.
No I don’t do much pvp honestly & I’ve always done well with the Necro there. If it must skill seperation should play a bigger role in balancing, the rest is not my problem.
Posting anything in this forum wont help warrior in any way.
@Yendorion.2381 you are somewhat irrelevant.
Plus if they close this thread down it just proves they don’t care because there is no feedback or communication between Anet and its warrior community.
Clarify?
Besides I’m in agreement that the thread isn’t of any help, it’s just QQ.
Necromancers OP? Hahahaa, I’d take a Mesmer/Warrior anyday over it, they’re not relax. With the incoming nerf sit will it will be worse then pre-patch, so relax Necros will return to be easy kills and the game meta is staying All-Zerg, that never changed. Assurance given in the latest SoTG.
The problem of this issue is that ArenaNet intentionally or not in fact acts quickly to such cries when they come from other professions and each takes takes priority over the Necro which in turn indirectly VALIDATE the notion that the Necro mut be kept the Easy-kill joke of the game… BY FACT, THEY INDIRECTLY DECLARED THEY CANNOT STAND HAVING THE NECRO ON PAR TO OTHER PROFESSSIONS… Their silence since SoTG is deafining!!
The only Mantra worth using on a Mesmer is the Mantra of resolve, 2 condition removals impromptu with a very low cooldown, reflect/illusion build and I still can give any necro a battle worth it’s salt. Talking of having Necros OP LOL, not even close.
PS. Some nerfs did hit the Mesmers badly no doubt (with some silly decisions thrown in such as the temporal curtain delay) but it’s still a pretty strong class.
ANet will bend, Reduce Dhummfire to 50% change of application, Moving terror to gransmaster, breaking the class again in the process.
Burning + Fear = OP nje nje… we saw this coming… Go ahead break the profession again!
I’m seriously disappointed at these so called ‘experts’ is that all of them fail to mention that the Necro is already heavily pigeon holed in certain builds as it is. Minion, Siphon build? Seriously? Compare those alternative builds to say a Dhuumfire/Terror build? Not even close, thus nerfing the latter instead of improving alternative builds break the class almost to pre-patch levels. Go ahead and see how the profession disappears again in a snap, I dare you.
With Vampiric they made Damage scale with power and Healing with healing power but as mentioned already it’s so ridiculous that no Necro in their right mind would sacrifice trait points to spec on them when there is so much better now since the patch.
I’m really glad the Vampiric mechanic has been fixed but it really needs a buff if it hopes to make it worth at least those 10 points into it.
-We have some great utilities (stances,bulls,stomp, some sweet signets etc)
-We have a high health pool
-We have many weapons
-We got heavy armor
-We still do nice damage
Thats about it..
-But everyone know without protection, heavy armor issnt that much compaired to medium or light armor. so a high health pool is the only thing we stay a bit longer in fight.
-Allot of damage but without some utilities its hard to land.
So how can we fix it?
I dont want protection on warriors, we are NO guardians!!
Only thing that fits the warrior style is EVADE! thats it!!
Just give us more Evade on weapon skills and better healing, with this we can bring the warrior back! i really do believe this.
Warriors should have this more on weapons, we are weaponmasters! why does others have more evade’s on weapon skills than warriors? like thiefs or mesmers.. they already got stealth, clones, teleport etc.. give it too the warriors!
Would be nice.. thanks!
They’ve got the highest DPS and a most dispicable treatment towards other professions in PvE, that balances out. Don’t get me wrong, I play a Warrior, Mesmer and Necro, even post-patch guess where elitism comes from.
Pets – Can be controlled, Their skills can be activated on command
Minions – Can’t be controlled, Their skills can be activated on command
Illusions – Can’t be controlled, can only be shattered on command
Besides the usual AI concerns which have come a long way btw, this differentiation is important and should stay so that variety is kept.
The only problem I keep pointing is that the Flesh Golem out of all the minions cannot Swim but I’m hopeful it will be fixed eventually.
Keeping something broken as a mechanism for enhancing variety is not a valid methodology for game design.
It makes about as much sense as having a burger on the menu without a bun, but having a chicken sandwich come with one automatically as a means of having variety.
I’m not buying it.
Except that it’s not broken, it’s clearly a design choice and who says what’s valid or not? Some people choose to have burger with cabbages instead of buns for low-carb Diets in fact :P

I realize I’ve been vocal in criticizing the Necro problems which really needed to be addressed, and in all fairness I should be equally vocal about how glad I am Arenanet address our concerns as a profession, I spent a good deal of time (and gold xD) in testing the changes and man I am so happy!!!
Finally over are the days when my heart used to sink watching my Necro shelved there, the patch certainly gave us then we expected and really put us at par with other professions. Perhaps improvements may still need to be done but on the profession really got there where it deserves.
The simple answer is no, although there is a clear shoutout for siphoning to be affected by healing power, although a few do oppose this for some reason since it’s been overwhelmingly shown it’s clearly needed. I’m hoping the new patches change this or my Necro stays shelved in favour of the Mesmer.
Son, don’t let people make up nonsense to play along. Give it up at this point, the Engineer is definitely in a better shape, but I suggest you wait a week longer. The situation MAY change at that point.
