One thing that noone seems to touch, CB is getting a nerf… The only ability that counters the 10 seconds of “i dont need skill i have all boons” Save yourselves (up to 30 with lyssa runes and boon duration). If anything shouldnt it be normalized with how steals work to corrupt for full duration of the boon applied?

Yep, just got to it, its just since i was in a low level zone degen took most life force of it (so it always fell to around 5 seconds), but another thing, if you are in DS for more then 10 seconds, it seems to reset from time to time? (Was in AC tanking the gravelings, ton of em died just as i got hit out of ds, it had a 9 second cd). This stuff really needs testing (that im too lazy to do), since i know it just used to be 10 seconds no matter how you exit since they dropped the cd on DS.

Ahaha oh my gosh. I figured it out, I think.

When you enter Death shroud, it puts F1 on a 10 second recharge. When you leave Death Shroud, it does the same thing again. But if you’re forced out of DS, it won’t reset the recharge to 10 seconds, instead it’ll just be whatever is left of that first 10 second duration. And yeah, the lockout is consistently just whenever you’re forced out of DS.

This means that if you stay in DS for 10 seconds before being forced out, it won’t be on recharge when you leave, you just need to generate the requisite DS first.

How have I never noticed this before.

That does seem to be the case, if you get kicked out from DS, be it by degen or enemy attacks, the CD is not being reset to 10 seconds unlike when you manually press a button to leave DS.

I think it does reset, but to the value as if we had Near to Death (since you seem to always get 5 seconds). You know how the skills with different cooldowns arent actually the same thing by script (what was the reason for the whole bugged greater marks/cooldown), maybe it triggers a different ds exit if you get kicked out.

My favorite burning is still pick up an Ele fiery greatsword. No. 2 skill does over 16,000 damage for me :O.

You should see what it does in a berserker spec with No. 4 skill on an enemy who has their back against a wall while the the flesh golem is also charging them. Thieves would kill to have that kind of burst lol

Whirling/tick spamming is kinda a engine bug, check Death blossom (it used to do like 14 hits pre jump in beta before they put the limit), that will happen to all such skills when the fix guys and trying to slavage the kitten that happens at events.

- in 720, no fire (you do get burning from the hydras – your vid, and from a ele, the pvp vid in recommended section, no ban i saw in game was set aflame by dhuum (but mobs around them did blind, poison, bleed, Dwound, etc).

Also Rhie is one, as was the lich you kill in the sylvari story (kinda under the illusion of being one while actually helping zhaitan, but still counts).
On that note how can sylvari or any of the races work with necromancy to begin with? Or even being mesmers, the 2 professions are directly tied to the gods that shaped them. True Asura and Mursaat Golemancy was simmilar (it uses ore/blood) but it needed to be already to be magically enchanted, so trying to make sense out of contradictions in game wont help much since most of everything NPC said could be a lie/missinfo just like the jotun and seer talk.

Trash you got here couldn’t be further from an actual warlock concept. A practitioner of dark arts in general, that more often then not enters a pact with some otherworldly being to increase his/her power. An orthodox practitioner of magic that relies on more intuitive/inane capability rather then knowledge.
Wow’s warlocks were a far cry from what they tend to be described as in most folklore/literature. It was a sound concept from game play stand point though and still maintaining a spark of being on the more or less correct path.

Necromancer here on the other hand isn’t simply defying everything that word stands for. It spits on guild wars own lore. So meh… don’t confuse apples and oranges here. There is no spiritual aspect. No heavy pull towards the fact that necromancer is more of a priest then some generic spellcaster/dps/what ever the kitten else anet is trying to make it after they themselfs set it on that exact path to follow general consensus. Heck it carries no ritualistic aspect either… carries no direction of any kind. Forget lore it doesn’t even make sense from gameplay stand point. It’s like a collection of rejected ideas tossed together to fill the space. It’s insulting is what it is.

First thing you learn about necros here in this very game… is that they are priests of Grenth, god of death. Uhum… yeah… sure… thats why we have green mosquitos accelerating us. And we draw graffiti everywhere. Oh yeah and we put cow entrails and baby heads into rats carcases and call em miiiiniiiions.
/facepalm

Warlocks =/= Necromancers, one use demons others use life and blood as a energy source (both shunned by arcane) – D&D stuff
For WoW, we should tech fall under Shadow priest/Frost DK/Afflic Locks (that was ususally the least warlocky of the 3 talent point lines/whatever they call it now)
Also we inherited the essence of the Dervishes, the transforms (both in elite and as profession mechanic), so being more on the side of Dhuum with his direct i slap you with a part of life itself and then with death itself seems to fit, i mean he is technically the God of Death (Grenth being Judgement). True that the rats and giant chicken are ugly (sadly in a not cute horrible way, just plain ugly) but i like the undead windrider and floating black sperm. Wells are quite necrosih, as are marks and corruption skills while DS, spectral and our elites call more dervish, i mean its just like Guardians are part paragon part monk.

Flames of hell is only a modern idea of death. Fire in mythology is the element of life, destruction and purity. This was also translated rather well into the first game, but Arena net have seem to forgot that. Water on the other hand is the element of death. Fire is the polar opposite of what the necromancer stands for.

Don’t take it that serious. It’s fantasy. In fantasy everything is possible. If in GW1 they told you that they have access to fire magic and ‘explained’ it lorewise, you wouldn’t have a problem.

Just to add its not fire and water its heat (the summer, fruit blossoms but the sun destroys the weak) and cold (winter, death of plants/animals go to sleep and the cold that can take even the strongest of burly men)

1) If the name is indeed something like Dhuumfire, I don’t see how this doesn’t fit in with the lore, seeing as some of Dhuum’s attacks were actually fire based : http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Judgment_of_Dhuum
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Impending_Dhuum

Explained this twice already, one is fire only by damage type (for gameplay balance), it doesnt have the burning animation nor is it actually fire related, just as most devish attacks aint related to shadows but a lot still do it. Second is the green necro hit animation and not burning, check any video of getting Dhuumed.

You know how the untraited cooldown of DS is 10 seconds, right? Well it seems that (maybe from some time ago didnt look into it since weapon swap “fix”) if you get kicked out of ds, despite the 1 second lock off from your utilites (1.49 to be precise) DS cooldown on the other hand goes down to 5 seconds (as in if you get 10%+ LF as soon as you get kicked out of ds you wont have to wait 10 but only 5 seconds till you can use it again).
Funny note aside the 1% always being there and DS counting as its own hp bar with jumping.

People need to read the patch notes. It baffles me that people do not go and check after each update. If people don’t read the patch notes then it’s their own fault; not the dev’s. There’s no reason that people need to have their hands held.

this is absolute rubbish. A game should never have to rely on third party/external information to work or be understood.

WoW did this and it sucked. New expansion and everything changed – why? what happened? “You just have to buy this series of books, its all explained in there” – absolute rubbish!

MMORPG, patch notes on official site, its like saying “one shouldnt need to read the manual” in the old SNES days, believe it or not patch notes are part of what you got when buying GW2, so shut up.
Also for wow, you got 99% of the story (that they butchered in wrath of the kitten queen and are now trying to fix) by questing.

Speaking of bugs, the trait “Decaying Swarm” simply does not work. I tested it today and it never procs. Has anyone got this trait working?

Pretty sure it shares its cooldown with one of the other on % hp effects (it was bugged like that before), but it can proc if you get hit in DS.

I don’t know my about the syphon complaints, PvE side anyways. I can usually run amuck and pull 8+ mobs and finish at close to full health. I am hoping they do some tweaking of it though so that I can see some similar results in PvP when the hits come a lot faster and quickly outpace the syphoning.

Thats every necro that uses DS, not the siphon necros get itself (D2 is ok but you cannot rely on it).

Weapon Choice for Hybrid Build

in Necromancer

Posted by: Andele.1306

Andele.1306

My favorite armor set uses Carrion Armor and Rampager Trinkets.
The Vitality gives you some survivability for poking things with your Dagger and for surviving in WvW zergs whereas the Rampager Trinkets give you plenty of precision while not lowering your Power and Condition damage too much.

With carrion/rampager setup, how do you actually survive for long enough in melee for it to be worth it? Melee really isnt worth it if you go hybrid from what i know.

Positioning.

In dungeons I try to position myself much like Thieves do.
Warriors and Guardians are very plentiful so I rarely need to be the main target.
When stabbing monsters on the side or to the back I tend to take much less damage.

Once I take too much damage I dodge backwards and use Consume Conditions, use Life Siphon and skills from off-hand, enter Death Shroud and Life Blast until 50% Life Force.
If being close is way too dangerous (Like say Lupicus, or the Wolves in CoE) I just use Dark Pact and Staff instead.

After all of that the cooldown on Consume Conditions should be done or almost done and I heal up and jump back in to stab more.
You need to jump in and out and it’s quite risky, but I enjoy the playstyle.
It’s kinda like being a slow Thief, but with more room for error.

There’s probably a more optimal way to do it, but I enjoy it.

As for WvW the only time I really stab is vs random mobs, vs doors and when I pull some poor guy with Spectral Grasp…
Stabbing an upleveled zerker Staff Elementalist is funny.

For short you are actually dealing damage only 1 out of every 1 seconds while on dagger. (since even with best positioning and soldier gear pre boss, some are just unable to be meleed).

On a hybrid setup, i actually kinda doubt my “unholy rule of necromancy 4: Thou must haveth a stave for one of thy weapons since Death itself scales off it” (you get ton of utility and strongest Life Blasts with it). Since Axe with earth sigil can do a ton on a hybrdi setup; especially if you have 30 in spite and 15+ in SR.

(Suggestion) Change Staff 1 Attack Appearance

in Necromancer

Posted by: Andele.1306

Andele.1306

You’re trying to have it both ways again referring to guard scepters flight time followed immediately by talking about having multiple projectiles in the air on necro staff. The numbers account for multiple projectiles in the air anyway, they’re damage to damage calculations.

Difference is, Gscepter is the slowest projectile people can get and is the only one that cannot aoe (thus ones in the air are worth nothing since they cannot already deal damage to other things), while the damage does stack up with the short cast time, the flight takes ages and isnt worth the wait.
A good ranged dd auto attack has a form of multi hit ability and a nice damage to cast ratio, not a ability used to spend a second or two while you wait for your 2 to come back up.
And no im never having it both ways, is plain and simple 5 enemies, max power you can get, then go and tell me how much each attack hits.

(Suggestion) Change Staff 1 Attack Appearance

in Necromancer

Posted by: Andele.1306

Andele.1306

Please don’t talk about multi target with guardian then single target with ranger axe. Single target is probably the least of guard scepters issues anyway. Where are you getting your numbers from? I think you’re right about ranger longbow, I might have discarded it due to it hitting about as often as our staff 1 at max range, and that would be incorrect. As for axe/staff:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Autoattack-DPS-and-cast-times/first

Fire ele staff is not #1, it is behind ranger longbow, and shortbow for that matter, due to the actual cast time of 1.4s. I didn’t check any of your other numbers.

Ranger longbow is just as “multi target” as axe is (both are, taking the optimal setup for both, as in traited and 3 enemies in a row) only that unlike axe you can control the aoe, you cannot control jumps (what tends to cause random aggro in dungeons), also no Guardian staff aa does more damage pre single target despite being aoe than scepter does (mostly because of kittened flight time of scepter), people use it for Smite and immob not the aa.
For axe vs staff, one thing you forget is despite being slower on attack, multiple Grasps can be in air at the same time and without the vuln application chaning damage (as every dungeon setup has 25 vul pretty easy (just having either mesmer or a warrior in it is 18-20 stacks, necro is 10 with life blast to 50% LF), axe does less on a smaller range (and again its use is for its 3 and the people that can stand to cast the 2 for the burst).
plain some weapons aint made for auto attacking but have good secondary abilities (even Warrior GS auto attack is actually outdpsed by their shoddy sword and mace attacks just because of animation times, but people all still run it since 100b, charge and whirl have good ratios, well even arcing has a really good ratio but sine idiot elitest dont bother looking into how fast they generate burst they just sit on it for 12% more total damage and 9% crit chance).

For numbers, its actually playing, with em in in both pve and mists, try it and check for total damage over 15 seconds (good enough time to ramp up slower casting weapons projectiles and the fast weapons shouldnt be losing on dps if they were actual good weapons like our dagger).
Last but not least, do you know the shortbows flight and actual cast time (not aftercast since you can cancel it really easy on a thief), its a barrage of arrows you can spam, even if its random aoe instead of pierce/explosion.

Andele.1306

Necro axe, ranger axe, and guardian scepter are all in the top 5 dps dd ranged autos in the game, despite being some of the ones people complain about most. Ranger shortbow is there too, at #1 even nerfed and without factoring bleeding, and I forgot the other. Funny they didn’t revert the ranger shortbow ‘fix’ when they nerfed the quickness that was apparently causing the problem btw :P

Ranger – Max range longbow>Shortbow, Mid Ranged Longbow>Axe
Guardian – Staff →Scepters shoddy single target hit
Necro – Even frigging staff 1 spam (with its annoying sound) does more than Axe (just that you need to channel it for quite some time since unlike axe it aint instant hit), but just for good comparison, DS

So no not a single one of these weapons is in “top” dps (ranger shorbow can be put in if you run with proc sigil/frost spirit/dual fire field, but its no more a dd weapon but hybrid).

If you want top DDAAs from range its: Ele Staff, Ranger Longbow, Engie Rifle, Thief Shortbow, Mesmer Greatsword (and here would be ranger Axe)

worst autoattack in game.
honorable mention to mesmer staff which is recently broken, & necro axe

How is mesmer staff bad? Get 3 clones of it up and the enemy will have 15 stacks of bleeding in no time and beef melees with more might (it is a bad direct damage weapon trough and IE sadly doesnt work on clones so no double or should i say quad dipping into the power of it).

Id say the 3 wet noodle hits would be: Ele lightning Scepter, Guardian scepter (its necrotic grasp without the pierce but not so annoying sound and faster cast) and Mesmer Scepter (maybe its just me being biased since i like the wlush noise/kittenslap that necro scepter makes)… Necro Axe, Warrior Hammer (god those long animations) and Ranger Axe do have their use despite being kinda pretty much derp/weapons there for other attacks.

If we get burning on top of terror.

And using the example of Dhuum doesn’t work. Dhuum was a god before the time magic was given. The blood stone wasn’t put in place and the magic Schools didn’t exist in his time. So Dhuum does in fact use old magic, older then what humans would have access to. Not that it even matters, Dhuum never used burning in the Underworld or did fire damage.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Judgment_of_Dhuum

As for the armor stuff I was just pointing out that aesthetically Burning would fit the flavor of my Necromancer very well because I already use a lot of fire!

To me “flavor” is an another way to say “aesthetics”.
I’ll admit that now thinking back perhaps getting hyped about finally getting matching Fire attacks for my Necro and the mechanics of thereof wasn’t really contributing very well to this conversation. :P

You said “flavor” but you seem more bothered by lore implications than a Necro with silly pink clothes running around calling people dwarves or one using fire with the aid of a device.

Well I suppose we can just agree to disagree.
We’ll see what happens at the end of the month.
(I’m gonna chuckle if the said trait has a Dhuum reference!)

Again that isnt burning, its just fire damage for the sake of balance (you remember elemental resistances, right)… and green, not red.

It isn’t necessarily the most common things, but Spinal Shivers (and the trait), Dark Path, Chillblains, Spectral Grasp, and Chilling Darkness (trait) all apply chill, and all but Chilling Darkness do so on decently high uptime (comparable to Elementalist uptime if they want to).

Just Dark Path, Hydro sigil and Chillblains with 40% condi duration (pizza or traits+runes) gives permanent 3 second chill uptime on a enemy if you can hold the rotation. And for when you cannot hold it up (as in actually cannot because you would die not because you screwed up the timing), chill probably wont help/most boss instakills aint cooldown based but timer/hp based casts.

Some players hate any form of pvp or so called minigames like crab toss or keg brawl, but they are forced to do it. Is not players fault.

There is no way they are forced to play them. The dragon ball related achievements don’t even count towards the meta achievement. They should just stay out of the game and stop ruining our fun.
If a player enter a team and go AFK, how is it not the player’s fault? Would it be ok for someone to get in a dungeon with 4 more people and go AFK?

If its in the PVE achivements section as a completionist player, yes you are forced to play kitten useless pvp.

“Arenanet gave me something so that i forget the in game bullkitten they are doing to the entire community, so that i dont stop my ongoing financial support, better go get trolled by a blind kitten”

Fixed this for you. Look as i said before, a nice gesture doesnt mean its a honest one, if they would wanna say thanks to the people that spen 10$~ pre month for random gems since they like the game, they shouldnt treat the events that influence everyone as money flowing in from boxes in that you dont get a single jade skin despite dropping 50$ on it (i didnt personally since i learned it on mad kings, but you still get a nice ton of forum posts about the results).

Btw have a post on it too and, just to say, its kinda a bribe for those that have gotten multiple gem purchases for how meh last few events were and how much Dragon Bash is slaughtering the Dragon Festival in cold blood and cow pies…

I rarely if at all feel compelled to come on the forums, but seriously this event is not even close to entertaining. In fact I feel really irritated about it, especially the MOA race.
The MOA race; we cant even participate in the race, instead we stand at the finish line and wait for a random result. Seriously 50s? Its an obvious and massive money sink in a game people struggle to make money in the first place. I was lucky and broke even before I walked away from the race.

If the goal of GW2 is to make a children’s game and alienate the MMO gamers like myself that are interested in real challenges and solid content, you are succeeding.

Well i cant really blame them with the moa race since the speedrun whores love their CoF farm, causing massive inflation if such money sinks dont exist, its more of a community problem (if people wouldnt burn their building if they nerfect CoF1 farm, i think that we would see less money sinks more fun little things).

Seriously…. what does CoF speed farm have to do with this? I’m holding back sarcasm over this response in the name of civility , obviously you wouldn’t allow character abilities to influence the race.

How about making the Player the MOA and giving the PLAYER the abilities shown for each Moa and allowing the player to actually DO something in the game other than give away 50s to a vendor so that they can stand and wait for a random result….

Gold inflation… CoF is kinda the main reason for it in GW2, so the gamble game they do on Dragon festival must be a fitting kind of gold skin and since we dont have a ecto based economy, its kinda a ton of gold that must be sank.
Yeah moa is boring, but the boxes, holo and pinatas are worse in the “respect for player base and out ideals” trade for cash thing…

i don’t get this community some times

a-net decides to be nice and gives everyone that bought gems a free dragon bash mini pack

then, all of a sudden it turns into a bribe from anet? do people REALLY see it as some fake gesture to players in an attempt to make themselves look nice?

it couldn’t just be, well, you know, a GIFT?

Oh im not saying it couldnt, but with how they are treating the events/festivals/traditions from GW, i dont think thakittens a actual gift/thanks to the players, but you gave us money before so here take this so that you aint kitten ed off at us. Then again i am a cynical kitten.

I can understand buying gems/gem cards and getting special rewards. It’s not exactly new in the digital goods world, but it’s curious why they’d start doing it now.

Lets see, they do 3 events that people generally called Meh and now one that is kittenting on a good tradition of all GW1 players… yeha i kinda think its a bribe to make people say awww how nice, thanks a-net and forget about what they are doing… Also remember it are account bound special event minis, not something that has any great game value even for achivement whores/completionist unlike the weapon skins…

Either this is a really nice gesture (possible), or a bribe so that people keep their mouth shut and not rage (what i think it could be since im a cynical pessimistic kitten).

This is the first update that has left a properly bad taste in my mouth. I even enjoyed (and still defend to this day!) the infamous karka event!

Honestly, to me the karka event was actually the worst since i wasnt one of the rare people that actually got to be there (like half of the population pre server got dumped missing out on precursors for 10-90 gold). True the rewards were fitting for what you did, but it kinda started the rng kitten, yeah mad king was the first to do it but the skins dropped like candy out of a open truck (and funny enough the candy like water during rain season).

First of all, again pvp achivements in pve events, stop it a-net, just as the keg brawl all the secondary pvp activities should be in their own section.
Second, cheating and hacks utterly destroying the point of dragon ball:
Teleport hackers and bots already got the ability spawn points allowing for all the abilities unlocked and with any regeneration food (if you eat it before you enter the arena) you are invincible…
Third, kittenty freaking gambling boxes, i got 5 of em just since i had some gems lying around and no, they still got kitten drop rate on weapon skins, stop it, either sell the tokens on gem store (like a good little company) or make it a 25%~50% drop rate on the gem boxes.
Last but not least, never ever make nodes stealable again, it was supposed to be a special thing GW2 has, now its just kitten ing everyone off with the dragon pinatas.

Well in combination that i played the Necro in GW, my general love for twisted things: Cute, Cute, Cute, Cute More cute. etc then the obvious choice is the profession that gets marks and wells with runes from the stygian pits of hell, that also turns into a giant friggn lich. Also Pink and cover are for sissies, I AM WALKING COVER!
