I think someone might have been playing ele and warrior a bit too much, DS is in its core idea fine (transformation, you get new skills, model goes dark super saiyan nonsense mode from corrupt death powers) Life force itself being the set amount of hp you have in there and causing you to ask yourself was i in DS for too much and cant use it in a short amount of time again to take some big hit? While your suggestion would make condition, well and minion bomber necro setups to be able to use DS, it would destroy axe, dagger and life force/DS main form setups.
3 main things it lacks – Life blast changing effects with weapons equipped, a 5 in DS/F2 skill that benefits overall as a save yourkitten heal that drains all LF left and last but not least the old stun break effect upon use/exit.

Just to note, a necromancer is anyone/anything that can bring back something that was living and then died back to any kind of life (e.g. Franken Fran is a tech seen a necromancer despite using science instead of magic) and everyone who gets their powers from unholy sources, thus all Liches, Dracoliches, Wizards that use their own blood to power spells (blood mage a hemomancer/person who can control blood, not a magic user that powers his spell with blood rites, Dragon Age derped it up for most people), Vampires (real vampire, the ones that impale people, bathe in their blood and then force the next victim to eat the fleshy remains of their last one cough Blood Countess cough) and the Grim Reaper himself (but since he counts as the element of death itself and having a eternal energy source, one could class him as a semi-devine being not just the entity of death itself). Also Necromancy has no relation to demons, that is a warlocks field of magical powers
For short Necromancer isnt just person who has a army of skeletons… if you wanna go by the army mechanic reroll into mesmer (MM/Pressure Hexes) or engie (Summoning Rit/Minion Bomber)
The only thing i agree with with the thread is that there should be a special personal story quest that lets us get a spectral/bone dragon.

Necros are by no means fragile.
They do have Light Armor yeah.
However Necromancers and Warriors share the top spot in Health!
They have almost double the health of Thieves, Guardians and Elementalists.
Warriors also don’t have two Health bars (Death Shroud), so Necro might actually take more hits than a Warrior.
Thing is compared to Warriors Necros hit like wet noodles.
All the Life Leech and Life Force generation is meant to make up for the low defense.
Unfortunately Life Leech heals for pathetic amounts right now due to bugs…
Also some things just deal so much damage that it doesn’t really matter what Profession you are.
Eat a Thief’s burst without countering it in time or get hit by a nasty dungeon mob and pow! …you are down.
Necros Dagger auto-attack was melee but with a trait that made it ranged at some point.
I think it then became just always ranged.
Then always melee!
I like using the Dagger sometimes.
It’s not all that optimal yet but it’s good enough for PvE solo play.
DS isnt and never will be a second skill bar, it takes much less damage to take down than even half of your real hp. But that cant be really talked about till they fix all the trait/skill problems.

Lets think on that a moment:
1) IF I am stacking magic find, the reason is to find more and better loot. In this case I lose out on vital stats.
2) IF I am stacking real and vital stats and not magic find, I am losing out by getting less and worse loot.
In Either case, YOU LOSE!
Well thats more of a risk thing (do you wanna do stuff faster, but have lower drop rate or a the same amount of stuff over a bit longer period of time with a higher drop rate), the problem is, right now we have no idea if magic find works/what are the soft caps/whats the actual magic find formula and what exactly it applies to (yes it increases the chance of you getting shiny, but of what exactly, does it apply to crafting mats too? Does 100% mf give you double the chance of getting a worthwile drop or drops all together, etc, etc).

Flame Of The Titan.3649 – frenzy is a effect (like some skills apply bleeds/poison/might/protection, etc not as a condition or boon, but as its own icon and effect, they shouldnt be removable), also in terms of boon removal on bosses, necros do have corrupt boon.

Could it just be that they “left” so that the humans can grow as a race and become independant of them? I mean humans are a lot like the charr were in EOTN in the aspect of evolving as a race right now, false gods gone (and the white mantle being almost non-existant) and no one leader (we can take the importance of the gods for humans about as much as the khan-ur for the charr).
I think of the gods as “parents” of all humans, always being around, but as the humans are now going into a adolescent phase of evolution, letting us evolve and kinda not take the footsetps of Canthans who isolated themself, kinda went all religious and xenophobic.

Mesmer is nothing like the necro…don’t know where the hell that came from.
Spec into confusion and phantasams and GW2 Mesmers are the equivalent of real necros from GW, punishing your enemy for making moves, getting stronger the longer the fight goes on and being able to do massive condition damage (since confusion pretty limited to mesmer and engie setups).
By pure class mechanics, necros sadly taken up the role of a M/Ne just as Engies are Rit/R

How to play necro in GW2: Press create, chose race, when selecting profession, dont press the skull, but the pink mask, its actually the real necromancer in terms of gameplay with tons of minions that dont moonwalk on a small rock for the next 50 seconds after they use charge, auto attack and your class has a lot of epic conditions that punish the enemy for doing stuff (spiteful spirit that stacks up to 25 times!), just be sure to buy a black and light green dye for your gear!

possante.8310 – Think of the kit the necro has, then about the kits of other professions, even if it would be op, there are skills other professions have that can be called op as well, but shouldnt be nerfed because they fit in the class and actually balance it.
Thus never call a skill op unless it can kill a enemy by just 1 button press (hell even pistolwhip, the most bull**** why can you stun for a total of 1.4 seconds for doing nothing but pressing it twice while also doing massive damage, fits the kit the profession has).

Since the “gold legion” isnt part of the “true charr” anymore, eles, necros and hunters got split up
Blood got frontline brutes: Fire and Earth ele, MM necros, ofc all warriors, guardians that aint into summoning and staff/scepter/torch use.
Iron got the mid line support tanky do everything utility guys: Water ele, all engie, spirit hunters, well necro, summon/consec guardians.
Ash are stillkitten ass-in to their backline: Mesmer, Thief, Corruption necro, non spirit using hunters, Air ele.

It actually does scale, just not in a worthwhile manner, it seems like the total of +healing goes to the total of total healing from the siphons, the trait is just bugged of again scales with the total effect ant not per tick effect making it seem useless however, the siphons with no + heal or trait grant about 900-1k healing with the trait and + healing it grants about 2k from the total siphon, better and can be used, but doesn’t really feel like it has a point if it’s scales in that manner.
I ment the vampiric trait that stays 25 or 29 all the time
Chillblains and Putrid only have their effect active within non traited range even if you get greater marks.
- Putrid just seems to have its free will, on orr it often didnt work for full aoe, in wvwvw, it works… really dont know why, maybe it nerfs itself if there are risen in range? That would actually be a really funny thing (pretty sure it just has to do with the fact that marks are block/can be dodged and risen mobs are on super speed steroids causing problems in terms of selecting enemies in range for Putrid Mark).
When life gives you lemon, ask if its from a anime or manga.
It is a powerful ability if you look at it as a single spell (ignoring the fact that its still bugged), but in combination of the whole necro kit, its just above normal, just as warriors heal signet that gives the dolyak rune effect. Necros already have pretty nice and stronger skills in terms of one part of the effect of the plague signet, making it a save a utility slot skill for a bit weaker (but still pretty strong) effect than what you could have gotten if you used 2 skills.

Gulbrandr – they were there more to balance the fact that necromancy was limited in Cantha because of the pretty distorted connection to the mists and worlds in that the spirits rest (both ritualists and necros drain their powers from the same source, necros offer their blood and dark emotions/bind their souls as eternal servants to grenth, ritualists their mind – get blind, then crippled, etc, but their spirits remaining kinda free)
Assassins on the other hand had no permanent connection to the mists/spirit realms, but acted as physical servants to Grenth (Necro are in spirit world liches, ritualists and dervishes of grenth do half half, Assassins are humans blessed with powers over death in life), thus either way they had little mystical and religious elements, its just Cantha being really into gods that gave em religious meaning.
Necro bring stuff back out of the Underworld, assassins make sure that stuff goes into the Underworld.

The tactic that increases the area of marks DOES indeed work, it just doesnt update the tooltip.
One bug that MUST be fixed though is whenever a necromancer is transformed into another form, (lich form, moa bird from mesmer elite, etc) we lose ALL our minions.
This should not happen. It would be fine to loose control of them if your transmogrified into a moa bird, but desummoning all of them is NOT ok.
Chillblains and Putrid only have their effect active within non traited range even if you get greater marks.

No i ment DS would be usable if the last Trait of Soul reaping would give stability while in DS, then and only then would the “ds helps necros as more than a meat shield” be viable.

Tony.2150 – post would be correct if the last trait in the SR line would give you stability while in DS not for just 3 seconds, since hard cc makes it pretty useless since you are stuck and cant use CC breaks half the time since depending on CC, the go out of DS button will/will not go on cooldown as your other skills.
Oh also making Life Blast not lose half the damage upon going under 50% Lforce, but scale for every 5 or 10% Lforce would make it ok to actually stay in DS for a longer amount of time, not justkitteni absorb a hit or do semi viable ranged damage for 4-5 seconds and get 6-7

Vampiric minor trait does not scale with Healing Stats, as well as Vampiric Precision and all Siphon Skills. This is major bug, which makes this traits useless. Healing for 29/per hit when ppl hit u from averge non-crit 500 to 9-11k dmg? Just… I dont have words. And it is that way SINCE BWE1!! Since BWE1 nobady fixed Healing scaling?..
Sometimes I have a feeling that noone plays Necro from ANET. I mean- dont u see this geen numbers? 29 with 1200 Healing? U playing it?
Sigil of Superior Leeching for example scales with Healing- as it should be, so it can be done. Fix it, because as long as it is not fixed that way, all Siphoning is just pathethic in PvP or High-End PvE.
Its Vampiric, it should scale both of healing power and off damage (both a semi low scailing, but together should be enough to neutralize basic npc damage). Also its flat 25 heal or 29 if you get the “+50% life stealing” trait.

That while making sense off the name/theme, doesnt make sense with traits
Rather go Crit damage and precision goes to curse, Cond Damage and Power on Spite while SR gets the Cond duration.

Love is a reapers thing
And it makes a Plague ring
Immibilized by my Dark Pact
The enemy just fell to my Putrid mark
He went into to a Corrosive cloud
All the conditions just couldnt stack higher
While enemies corpses are what i desire
And its cold, cold, cold cold
The Chillblains
I fell low, but that didnt mean i needed Pyre
I went down, down, down, but my life force went higher
The horde wanted my life, but i just shrouded
Last second Life transfer
The taste of fear is sweet
So i Doomed and killed the weak
And when the zerg wanted blood
I used my Reapers mark
And its Epidemic, Epidemic, Epidemic, the chill and Reapers mark
and Reapers mark

Bosses like SE golem 2 are the reasons why people look for easy fast grinds, bosses like the ED infused eiffigy/golem in SE are the reason why and how dungeons should be made.
all the text under here is just my banter about it in a longer format
Just to say its ok to give bosses a instakill move without taunt on explo mode if he has it in a chain of spells he always uses and isnt random, its ok to swarm us with 4 vet mobs and 20 normals that chain cc you thus making stability the only viable move even if most classes dont have a reliable source of it, its ok for deathtraps with really really small animations or the red circles that blend wit the background, wipes are part of dungeons, but whats not ok is having to go trough it 10 times to feel like you got something worth out of it, every dungeon run thats difficulty is based on nintendo hard mechanics should give you a twice as rewarding feeling as the BS you went trough *e.g. AC explo mode, spider/breeder room and the spin2win guy are really nice, hard but fun since you know that if you die, its because you didnt dodge – even if the pull wires of the spin2win should be more visible, hard to notice on highest settings, but the godkittenburrow rooms that are based on how many guardians, how much burst with auto attacks and if your team can dps at exactly this and this time to manipulate the spawn of the next burrow are just bs, also such rooms make condition builds and necromancers cry because structures dont take cond damage thus forcing lich form to get the dps out to destory a burrow.

Tybalt’s dialogue was awful. Why is this idiot in one of the most secretive orders in Tyria? And why does my character not get that its a secret order when she tries to join: “HEY I WANT TO JOIN DA ORDER R U DA AGENT?!”.
IWith that said, I’m a little disappointed that Tybalt was forced on me. Some people like him, though why is such an incompetent comic relief character associated with what is meant to be a pretty serious, ruthless and efficient organisation?
You two obviously didnt listen to the banter MoW was saying in nightfall, here is a quick combat line “there are million ways to kill a man, this is number 362”
The order of whispers always takes everything seriously, but that doesnt mean you cant make jokes about such stuff. Also Tybalt > Rytlock, its official.
Who wouldnt wanna be friends with a big fuzzy iron engie who lost his right paw and loves apples and at the same time is a ruthless assassin who can solo 5 pirates?
The only bad thing with Tybalt is that his role was so short!

How about a vendor gets implemented in the home instance, that will give you upon request a item that creates a bundle, the bundles availible would be based upon personal story: did you go for tanks/mortars or for the cauldron, did you get the anti dragon magic gun, etc; and slayer achivements: e.g. a litospheric subwoofer that you get for killing dredge that lets you once a day melt the brains of all dredge within a 3kradius and stop their respawn for 10 minutes, a centaur tribe altar that makes all centaur witin 3k remember their family bloodlines and overall causes them to be hostile between eachother, a electrostatic harpoon rifle that does 3x normal damage of your underwater weapon to sharks and jellyfish, stolen flame legion effigy dolls that burn foes around em and siege damage to icebrood and plants, etc;
Ofc all would need pretty massive cooldowns and unable to chain used in the same zone, but it would give us a reason to return to the home instance, make some choices actually make a difference, go for the slaying achivements and god knows how many other implementations just for lolz.
