Yes I would LOVE to see the minions in GW2 get an overhaul. In GW1 the minion was a nasty little monster with big teeth and lots of em. You could control a small horde of them and monitor their health as they wreaked havoc and swarmed your enemies. Now we have a mismatch of odd looking creatures that have control problems and just look funny.
I would love to see the bone minions reworked paying homage to the originals but nastier. The other minions could use help also. As popular as zombies are I am surprised a zombie like minion wasn’t created, or a ghost like creature. Either way it needs to be spooky , sinister and have a little goth thrown in for good measure.
The entire class could use more gothic/sinister look. Right now I can’t tell my female necromancer from a mesmer.
I was so excited to play a necromancer (female of course) and pick up where I left off in GW1.
It seemed that the more I played (up to lvl 50 now) the more disenchanted I became. I am not an expert player by any means but the balanced feel and class power is gone. If in Minion Master spec GW1 was a fine balance keeping your minions alive. You were avoiding damage and pumping life into your creations as they became low on health at the same time watching yours. With other builds you were able to hold your own in any party and you were a respected class.
Now not so much. I have been searching for a powerful build that works for me and I think I have gone thru all available options. I have used Death Shroud a lot and thought that might be the key to this class, but was not impressed. The DPS is just not there. I think back to the first time I used fear and saw last for 2 sec and thought really? That’s useless, maybe it will increase with my lvl? But it does not….
I changed my traits sooooo many times looking for the elusive combination that would flow with the sinister dark power of the class, and I am still looking.
And as I have said in another post, I am very disappointed that the Necromancer class has lost the sinister/gothic/dark look. Anyone else feel the same?
Yes the Necromancer in GW2 is a visual disappointment to me also.
People are attracted to that class for the gothic/halloween/scary elements of it. Now the Necromancer looks like it could pass for a Mesmer? I was also dissapointed in the look of the Minions. In GW1 they were scary and there were lots of them, overwhelming foes with their sharp teeth and bony spikes. The new little rat tailed thingy’s just are disappointing. IMO, the class could use a little spookyness mixed in visually.
