For looks, Sylvari (seriously the starting masks look awesome on them and the light armors fit better with racial clothes).
For the might and glory of Grenth, Dhuum and the Underworld, Human (as in if you care for the lore or want a more traditional experience, also Hounds of Balth allow aoe burning in a condition build, as does charrs charrzookah)!3s invulnerability as Sylvari good too
Roots you, turrets are really weak, plague is in general better, the root is quite useful in wvwvw, but overall sylvari necros are there for aesthetics not racial skills (winners in that are charr=human>norn>asura=sylvai)

Our underwater weapons (including DS) are godly overpowered for necro weapons (important part here). Like only thing with better break the profession synergy underwater is the thief perma evade and engie nades that are about twice as fast, have half the cooldown and are targeted.

Only parts i didnt like in the new dungeon is the kinda rng ish nature with where the electricity pops up on the ground/no time to get out without blinks, that oak throw is very buggy and ungodly stupid ai of the holos.

Perma-Stability would be lol, sorry.

The machine didn’t allow one to see the Eternal Alchemy (despite Andele’s statement, it’s more than just “what we don’t know” but rather “how the universe functions” – it’s not a physical thing so it technically cannot be seen). Rather, he made a placebo machine. The machine, per an interview with TowerTalk and Scott/Angel, was just a sensory deprivation device.
That means Ceara went batkitten crazy from being unable to feel, see, hear, smell, or taste anything. And she hallucinated (hence placebo). What she saw happened only in her head and nowhere else. If she were to ask the Pale Tree what she meant in Scarlet’s vision, the Pale Tree would say “when did that ever happen?” because it didn’t happen.
Right because its not like the eternal alchemy is paired with all other religions of tyria and its not like asura only say that something belongs to the eternal alchemy if they dont understand it. Also all the interview only said that the impact that the machine had on her might not have been our reality, you twisting it to your mental gymnastics logic (just as zhaitan, the Elder dragon of the undead, not being a undead stitched from different dragons, but just looking like it, being intentionally very inefficient in design, not because of it being a physical limitation in keeping the corpses in check, but because he thinks it looks cool or it being his fashion statement or whatever).

How about, DS absorb just returns? Or Shade returns? or the old Teleport/spectral walk type DS comes back via a trait, or the just as old 0 cooldown ds returns? All options that have shown to improve the necros power across the board without actually buffing damage~

Best:
1. Taco the Sauceless revamp
2. Mad King (same level as Taco, but since TQTL got me a mini dragon and was actually improving the real pve community and filtering zerker trash and casuals away, it got first place)
3. Liadri
4. MF
5. Politics
Worst:
1. Liadri (the fight was awesome, but so many kittening little things ruined it just because of lazy devs, and being lazy on a good thing is worse than just applying a wrong design decision onto something)
2. Fractals (same as above, epic concept, kinda good/bit memorable, but such a terrible overall execution from rings to rng picking to scaling only being bigger numbers).
3. Southsun (servers dying, again it needed proper testing)
4. The only actually bad thing, Crap toss and other “activities/fake pvp in pve” instead of allowing duels and trading.
5. Second SAB (again terrible execution and ruining the fun of the original sab… not that hard content was bad, i tried to enjoy tribu mode and it was cool… till the freaking hitboxes and the water and… oh even post nerf it was just a time sink instead of a fun memory of old games), yaying more grind.

I can’t wait until Palawa makes a grand return. He is my favorite
I’d like to have back Shiro.
I’ve forget a lot of names of stuff on Gw1, but there are 2 i still remember well:
Impossible Odds
Battle Scars(even the names of Shiro’s skills are better than whole Scarlet package)
That said i fear that’s not possible, there is a strong lore lock on Shiro iirc (banished in FC, stomped again in NF).
Shame.
Shiro sadly wasnt fleshed out as much as he could have been, yes he is a self-fulfilling prophecy and a soft shakespearean character, but it could have been so much more, on a greek tragedy level.
On the other hand villains that develop with us like Lich K, Varesh Ossa or Abaddon that are simple in design, but complex in execution allow for a lot of emotional buildup on the characters that surround us.
Lets make it like this, in batman, its not batman who is/should be the character the plot develops, but the villains, at least clearly developed characters with solid motives that batman plays off and his actions give each of us a personal interpretation of the character; BUT not a blank slate for people to slap on, they made that mistake in the Dark Knight for letting Joker take the role turning him into the fan favorite of the movie. Other examples of such hints of character with a blurred outline are Samus from Metroid (and no Other M doesnt count since it doesnt exist), WC3 Arthus, Link (again the non existent export developed titles dont count), Darth Revan (promotial mmo crap again not counted, but the origin femrevan script), etc… And as you see by the multiple exception lines the industry loves to kitten up good characters instead of leaving them as they are/giving them a final honor in our memories before making the tale end with: But that is a story for another time.

If a Christian found a way to see into gods plan it would mean the following: God is true (we kinda know that the whole eternal alchemy is just a lot of nonsense/bad metaphores for what asura dont know and dont want to admit that they dont know, but scarlet did see some kind of future in it), that the machine would tap into powers way beyond our understanding (and asura always test first, so better test on a smart veggie than on a person as smart as a veggie what they ususally test on/dumb asura are the test rats for most experiments and the knowledge would be wasted on them) AND Scarlet is mortal, something very important to understand, if she did have the knowledge that was the actual Eternal Alchemy despite all odds, she can just be assassinated.

Canach – Well-Intentioned Extremist
Caudecus – kittenty sissy, should have been publicly executed by all rights
Zhaitan – Undead, so story is still up to be worked on
Karka Queen – you cannot really call a kitten ed off animal a enemy
Kudu – Went stupid because he messed with dragon powers he couldnt control or understand correctly, but quite developed if you go trough all the plot lines and kinda important for the overall ideals of the inquest/more of a avatar of a faction than “personal villain we should stop”
Gaheron Baelfire – kitten quasi/fire lich, still haunting and controlling the flame legion from the mists, thus same can be worked on status as Zhaitan
Faolain – kitten lesbian girlfriend of a “friend” who happens to be a psycho with a dark past, can be used as a metaphor for abusive relationships if a-net takes up such a heavy topic, quite well developed, but way too subtle for the general public (kinda like the penguin in batman, its a tragic story about society)
Scarlet Briar – Joker done wrong.
So from the list Scarlet is kinda in the middle…
Hell The Eye and Mouh of Zhai zhai were a better “personal villain” than Scarlet is, since they were the ones responsible for getting Apples and Cherry involved in the whole risen crap.

Let’s say in theory you could trade 200 toughness (or vitality, either one) for a skill that made you invulnerable for 2 seconds. We’ll call it ’’wraith form" or whatever thematic name. Now suddenly you have added a risk/reward mechanic in for the class that could make them worse – or better – but all dependent on play skill.
If I take “wraith form” and drop some of my tankiness, I could potentially come out stronger if I pop it at the exact right time, to eat a proper burst, where it saves me more damage than the 200 toughness would. But if I use it stupidly to eat some auto attacks, its actually going to make me worse than the 200 toughness. But either way, you are moving more of the fight outcome over into the hands of the player’s ability – a good thing – instead of the outcome being so reliant on just their pre-built stats or big sack of static HP and life force.
“Well but that’s just like what an Ele has, we should be different.”
Different is fine if equal, but we are not equal. You might say to eat the burst a Necro can (and should) just pop Death Shroud. Fighting one player, that is fine, your trade off of life force is probably equal to the ele blowing his mist form. The difference is when its a coordinated burst from 2 to 5 players all hitting you. An ele pops mist form is still alive and max health at the end of his skill. Where if a Necro pops death shroud against coordinated burst, he is probably dead at the end of it regardless. This is the problem with face-tank as the only defense.
Solid post. Personally I wish for a change to life force that allowed it to refill faster. I think a smaller pool, but with more ways to generate life force, and a way that scales in regards to enemies, is the only legit answer. Then you can have some sort of skill in regenerating life force (hopefully) allowing for skillful play and counter play of some sort.
DS already generates fast enough if you build with DS and LF in mind, problem is necro is seriously crippled if you dont do that (so like having focus as offhand in pve as a scepter user or using soul marks in pvp).
When life gives you lemon, ask if its from a anime or manga.
I think you read what SR/Hunger does wrong, It increases the transition of HP to LF, LF is gained as a , LF is lost as a %, but its worth is numerical, so more SR increases the base DS by 30 (so from 120~ to 155~ % of hp), but the way you gain life force and lose it kinda stays the same, it just makes sure the enemy needs a bigger hit if he wasnts to do 2% damage instead of 1% in a single hit.
When I tested it last… which was ages ago.
It didn’t give extra DS uptime, in damage or per sec tick time. It simply took longer to fill the bar by 30%… Only hindrance, no help at all.
Again it never gave and never will give more DS uptime, it increases the coefficient of vitality for DS.

The bigger problem is understanding why they’ve drawn this line, when in a lot of ways it doesn’t make sense other than “we want every class to be different”.
They want Necromancer to be an aggressive, always-in-the-fight, sustained damage class. That means high in-fight attrition, lots of offense, lots of sustain based on making enemies weaker, etc.
My question is this: why do you want stability? Or vigor? We want this for a few reasons: to be able to actually do the above class-design; to be able to survive huge burst and get past CC to get to our target. Why do we need those things in specific though? Why do we need to dodge damage, instead of being manly-men (or women), and face-tanking their best damage while beating their face in? Why should we worry about being CCed, instead of eating it up like and then after start serving out knuckle-sandwhiches for dessert?
The problem with all of these threads is they are far too simple thinking. Yes ANet could have made one class, given it a bunch of buffs, vigor, dodging, etc, and had us all play the same class on the same build against each other. But we don’t want that. I don’t play the Necro so I can dodge abilities, or so I can walk through CC like a Guardian, I play Necro to play that unique playstyle. So give me the ability to deal with things in a uniquely Necro way, instead of these boring already done methods. If I wanted to play a Guardian, I have one sitting there ready to go. I log on to my Necro for a reason.
Big problem, guardians are supposed to be the people defending the squishyies, not the actual frontline (they would be in the line with old Necros Mesmers, some Monks, some Paragon and some Rit builds, maybe even the off barrage ranger here and there in the mid line), but the strength of boons and how easy/cheap it is to apply tons of them plain pushed them into the frontline, while the lack of boons and very much hex like/dervish ech dance like combat of the necro combined with the knockback and instakill fetish a-net had (they are getting better with each release… kinda) just pushed em back into the middle where they were when we could punish a enemy for: Moving, Not moving, casting, not casting, healing, not healing, attacking, not attacking, regening, having degen from condis, having hexes, cleansing hexes and… well i think you get it that a necro could be plain made to punish anything that annoyed you or stopped a build OR be a frontline with sword + focus and use the touch rotation if secondary sin or monk to be a pve immortal tank for anything that isnt a boss since bosses werent dps but mechanics checks, forcing players to be better.
Something very important was lost with GW2 (and release of Wrath of the kitten queen for wow) in the design portion of mmos, despite a lot of new good mechanics and better options in the engine being possible.
If anyone know these references, think of the first time meeting Baron Geddon or the Twin Emperors or Onyxia during the flight phase? Yeah that was a awesome challenge that was fair for a good party (sadly quite unfair if even one person was a idiot, but that can be solved with all the new scaling and adaptability of fights we got in the 5-8 years from then).

Indeed if they made an Infinite Use version and made it a helluva alot more expensive, I’d be up for it. Even 1000 gems or more. But single use? Not worth A GEM imo.
It actually isnt, using pvp, then the retrait and porting back to somewhere as long as its under 2 silver (so anywhere on tyria if you use the portals in la) is gonna cost less than the 5.75~ a gem costs right now.

And banners for warriors, spirit weapons for guards, phantasms for mesmer, turrets/kits for engineers and nothing for thieves.

(I still haven’t tested, if Soul Reaping 130% life force, is still eaten at exactly the same rate as 100%. When I tested it long ago, it actually just meant it took 30% extra to fill the bar, and still ticked down as fast/adsorbed same damage)

Minions an’t suppose to be risen dead/mobs… Tho how come Bone Fiend looks exactly like a dead mob risen?
Why pick on pore little Shade, he’s the only minion I don’t hate the look of!
(Undead Chicken with a whakitten y bits as a head, who’s scared of water… WTF ANet)
Shades and Aatxes are demons/spirits of the Underworld. It ties to my next point.
We didn’t “draw” power from Grenth, in fact he may very well have not even been the god of death when magic was given to the world from the gods (Dhuum was the previous god of death, Grenth overthrew him with help from the other gods). but anywho, magic was always in the world running rampant, the gods just harnessed it in pre-packaged single serving packets for human consumption via the bloodstone. We didn’t and still don’t, need a god to use magic.
Just for the sake of nitpicking.
While it is true, our main source of power (since we kinda no longer use blood as a fuel for our skills) is the Underworld, as it was before for secondary and spiritual skills (and anything from soul reaping) like Spiteful Spirit. If it gets kittened up we lose most of our skills or they go rampage and try to slaughter us (like in the priory missions). Same for Dervishes, Eles, Non-mantra Mesmers, Spirit Rangers and Guardians.
Also Dhuum was 100% on tyria during the start thus making sure that there were necros in his time too (that couldnt rez but still) since the 7 reapers+Grenth originally were necros. Also Grenth is now kinda gone (as all gods except melandru and balth that just love screwing with quaggans/grawl respectively) and even if he could proxy his powers trough the reapers it would be a massive strain on the mists causing pretty much infinite Shady-Bs and co to spawn/cause a second nightfall since we know that UW is kinda a disaster place right now thanks to MKs stronger influence on the real world and Shady-Bs/Shade/Aatxe spawns around grenth statues and other rifts to the mists.

Then it would become another abused charge move like fiery rush, burning speed and golem charge.
Nope, since Wraith charge doesnt do damage unless it actually hits a enemy, when it does it stops *and you can stop it with minions/bodyblock it* So a dash with Dark path like mechanics, but instant start with a safe path instead of a delayed port that allows for hopping if used with Swalk.

Still think that normal swords, dual wield ofc, would be the best, Cleave, chill, “leap” (not a real mobility one) and a frenzy cc attack.
Make a target-needing “leap” (like Dark Path kind of is), and I’d see them putting it in.
I thought more like the Orr Wraith dashes, you turn into a whirling swarm of insects and dash on the ground to the enemy, but you dont trigger marks nor traps (and pulses from wells n kitten dont apply to you). It could be like the Sanctum Sprint dash, leaping/rushing for longer the longer you hold the button.

Is this a confirmed bug? I dont find having vitality that useful if I have a large upkeep of life force that is affected by how much toughness i have.
By devs, no, but they also denied the true hp value of DS, the hp value of downed necro state, the bugs that are going on with staff and were essentially forced by the top pvp necros to admit that they removed the ds weapon swapping because of kitten and giggles (what was a major nerf) instead of any actual balance reason.
From the community, yeah. Multiple times already (each DS patch/fix improves it, but its still quite buggy). Before if you had anything with secondary toughness stat, your ds would amplify the damage youd take since the armor/toughness value didnt transition in its full to it, but now Zerkers/glass cannons have almost the same defensive value in DS as tanky builds (go to taco the sauceless after fail, hit a fishhead normally, you are dead or on 2-3k hp depending on build, then hit another one in DS, it goes down to 30%~40% depending on build.

Dragonbash was celebrating the pact defeating zhaitan.
Dragonbash was the celebration of the “victory” over dragons, to which everyone protested because did didnt do jack kitten. Also we fought Zhaitan either over the shores of orr (so falling into the water) or over his freaking bed where he was snoozing till then, again not killing him, hell even if the entire tower (that didnt fall over the place where his model falls, you can jump down into the water even to see it) did fall on him, he headbutted a giant metal laser cannon without a scratch. Zhai zhai probably aint dead… well he probably aint stopped from being undead… or he aint re-dead…. whatever we probably didnt kill him off, especially since our dear Taco the sauceless/Tequila the salty/Tequatl the Sunless is a plot point in the living story.
im pretty sure the devs have stated that he was dead, and if they bring him back, it will be very annoying
So the fact that they said its a plot point theyd like to rehash later and that revealing anything would limit them during multiple con QnAs since they had to push out entire arah in less than half the time they wanted to work on it means nothing.

Ofc runes and co stuff optional, just slotted in what id pick on such a combo for damage, but if you wanna do taco frontline/zerg fighting, then plain go full soldier with 20/0/0/20/30 (stability vs each wave, yay for me being lazy) or 30/0/10/30/0 for max well damage and support.

We also need power-based aoe weapon, something like power version of staff.
-1200 range + 1 auto attack/4 power based aoe skills(2 of 4 includes ccs).
-Can be traited for 240 radius.
-Uses power based well-like skills which stay at area for 5-7 secs and deals power-based damage every seconds.This will help us to deal with condition stack limits, we can’t deal damage in pve due to low 25 stack limit. Also this will make power builds viable in wvw, current direct damage based weapons of necro are single targeted and useless vs zerg.
You know there is this thing called Death Shroud, it has 3 skills that cc and 2 strong power attacks.

We dont have support -> looks at Sgrasp, 4 out of 5 wells, epidemic, aoe count and fun little facts called best chill and second best weakness application that have been increasingly more useful with each new fight (well not Tequila but he is a massive cooperation wall/anti leecher system).
SGrasp is garbage compared to Mesmer focus 4.
Chill and crippled are terrible on non melee bosses.
Well of darkness is an inferior but larger pistol 5 (a spam able vs long cooldown skill)
Well of corruption is great in one of the guild bounties, Well of power is great in one fractal fight, but that’s it for both of those skills which are useless most of the rest of the time.Mesmer sword boon stripping is far superior to anything we have on long cool downs, and the boons are hardly important in pve anyways. The karka Queen what else?
Most of the team support on Staff got nerfed.
Well of blood is no water field, and necromancer has few finishers.
The last boss I fought literally told me “Your weakness makes me laugh.”. It didn’t stay on him long either due to how conditions work on bosses.
Its not like you might wanna cherrpick a champ out of a group with sgrasp instead of aggroing everything and a mesmer sure can melee without spamming blurred frenzy so that he doesnt die from a fly buzzing in their general direction.
Chill is insane on ranged bosses because they technically dont have any auto attacks/everything has a cooldown.
A blockable projectile that is also rng because the first 2 shots are cc thus plain evaporate their worth on everything with defiant is sure comparable to a giant well of blinds.
And yeah aoe corruption of boons and flipping conditions sure is worthless, especially since such specializations for a skill totally dont mean you are wasting half the skill cough null field in pve and totally aint getting a stronger return.
Staff is bugged, gonna get fixed, back when phantasams did 0 damage just as clones was that a nerf?
No but it heals for more than anything mesmers can spew up,
Also i think you have some problems with either your brain or you dont understand the stats in game, there is this thing called condition duration.;
So no necro control and utility is still way better than most (guardian and ele being the only ones to outshine it on a single person level). And no reflecting 40k damage bolts isnt utility, its abuse of game mechanics.

Dragonbash was celebrating the pact defeating zhaitan.
Dragonbash was the celebration of the “victory” over dragons, to which everyone protested because did didnt do jack kitten. Also we fought Zhaitan either over the shores of orr (so falling into the water) or over his freaking bed where he was snoozing till then, again not killing him, hell even if the entire tower (that didnt fall over the place where his model falls, you can jump down into the water even to see it) did fall on him, he headbutted a giant metal laser cannon without a scratch. Zhai zhai probably aint dead… well he probably aint stopped from being undead… or he aint re-dead…. whatever we probably didnt kill him off, especially since our dear Taco the sauceless/Tequila the salty/Tequatl the Sunless is a plot point in the living story.

Yeah, the stunlocking is a pain, no doubt. Still, they attack quickly (so defensive stats actually matter), they have CC (so blinds/stability matter), they use boons (so boon stripping/conversion matters), and they don’t have dumb “I’m a boss” mechanics like permanent stability and Defiant (so CC/conditions actually matter).
They are difficult, but they’re difficult for everyone, yet everyone has tools that are useful against them.
Yeah no problems with that, but i ment the sheer count of vets a normal group of ablades has in comparison to anything else (with flame legion being on the opposite end of the spectrum… i dont think i ever saw a vet flame legion guy outside the guys in MF that throw the flame tornados, maybe my memory is just rusty) is the annoying part, im all for trash mobs that dont make you fall asleep, but if rng decides if they are sometimes more lethal than a boss because of chain-stuns and the 2x damage vet multiplier is… well not very good design (start of AR kinda showed this, the vets during the bombardment were crazy if you didnt stack up behind the rocks for them to have and melee you, while the boss was pretty easy… well except rng pulls trough instakill lazor, but they only used it if you went from within 300 to 600 or within 600 to over 600 range of em so its k).

Another related idea. How about change Gluttony to the following:
Gluttony – Increases life force gain from skills by 10%. You gain 3/4 second of invulnerability each time you enters Death Shroud.
Description: This invulnerability is very hard to use because of its short duration. The player would have to time this properly. But it can also be reapplied every 7 seconds with the Near to Death trait.
This would be a pain in the a** to balance… plain fact is, before they removed the absorb, we were mostly ok, yeah some fights were kittened if you didnt have energy sigils, but you could still do it without major hair pulling at how much damage you have to lose out on just so that you aint a worthless load.

most servers having done it 1 time? This is your justification? How many people on those servers were not present at the 1 success? How many people are online in your guild at any given time, 10% ? So who cares about the other 90% of people that can not, for any number of reasons, complete this boss fight?
Ebay did it at least 6 times (probably more since i wasnt able to get on for a while when the kills usually happen), the different tequatl kill guilds have a minimum 10 kill total and thats just on NA.

That wont solve anything for pve.
Actually it will return us to at least the facetank power we had where we could compete for the amount of times instakills can be avoided while actually keeping aggro.

How about, we just get DS absorb back? I wanna jump off cliffs again without having to slot in the worthless in all cases but for that post nerf Swalk…
