Guild Wars 2

Opps should have been more clear lol…I didn’t mean in game I meant like a website or something.

Alexii.9425:

1)I am not complaining about everything , just the kinda sub par broken necro.
2) Complaining about getting heard ? Who heard me ( besides you which is useless ) Reds delete posts here asking the reds for reply , so they dont reply , just delete. Was it so difficult for you to reread the post ?

And is it so difficult for you not to complain? You got what you wanted so let it go.

LOL no I didn’t…you’re complaining about everything…maybe its you that needs to reread your posts.

Geez Alexii…is that all you do is complain? First you complain about not getting heard and now you’re complaining about getting heard…make up your mind.

Where are people getting these from?

As the the title says where can I find these?

wakko.5248:

So, I have a rough time deciding on what class I actually want to play. None of the classes have really stuck on me, I have played a thief to lvl 80 but thats about it. I generally like sneaky characters like assassins/rogues but the thief doesnt really feel like one. I dont know it just didnt really stuck.

What I played in other games that I really enjoyed was

In Warhammer Online I ended up with a Choppa, slashy slashy. I also enjoyed playing support classes like the shaman, zealot and also the witch hunter.

In WoW, I played a rogue, resto/balance druid and a enhancement shaman/elemental shaman. I think that is the class I miss the most, the shaman. Simply because you could play him at both range caster/melee, he had heavy armor and could take some punishment and be very supportive.

I think the Guardian is mostly like that, but I’ve read that you dont really have that many range attacks. I have thought about the ele but he is just so very squishy.

And in Gw1 I enjoyed the ritualist with all the spirits

Any suggestions? I really want to love this game but the classes for me are just so… weird

How are they weird? They are the same ones minus the ritualist and they added guardian and engineer?

Edit: Oh and thief lol

Wombatt.2546:

I don’t know what you all are talking about. My main is a lvl 71 necro, and I’ve been able to solo nearly the entire game this far. I use an axe/dagger and staff, and just roll. I don’t pvp, so I can’t comment on that, and they’re slightly under powered for dungeons (though their utility as condition eaters and aoe healing, plus snares and blind is good for the benefit of the team)

You can solo with every profession in this game – killing mobs is not difficult at all, necromancers are underpowered in PvP when you compare it to other classes, for example war or thief. War can kill necromancer with bull charge+100 blades in ~2 sec.

Holy crap… is it really hard to understand that not everyone PVP’s? And if all the negativity for this class is because of that, then people have some serious issues and I highly suggest playing a different class.

Frotee.2634:

Maybe they are merely working on it and will talk about it once they have figured out what they’ll do?
The game has been out for a couple of weeks, most of which Anet was busy getting people to actually play, irrelevant of profession, or getting the trading post up and running – not to mention restoring all those hacked accounts and looking into various bug reports. They will get to the necro at some point.

Bananaheli: Yes, but it would really be sufficient to have one of them with a kittenload of responses. this way, we are just cluttering up the necromancer forum.

Couldn’t agree more….people either need to deal with the fact that the necro for some have issues or just play something else. It’s not that hard….

ilJumperMT.4871:

Reroll. No really.

Longbow have low dps, Shortbow does more damage from front (excluding bleed) then longbow.

Pets are 40% damage from Ranger, problem is pets are currently BUGGED and unresponsive

God I am getting sick of these types of posts. Either post something helpful or shut the hell up. People want to play these classes for a reason. It doesn’t do them anykittengood when they are told to reroll.

Henge of Denravi is fairly good.

CC Eva.6742:

Hi everyone,

I would ask all of you to stay on the topic. The subforum Necromancer was created specifically to discuss questions that concern this class and we welcome them as long as they do not result in hostile environments.

Thank you very much.

Then you may want to check the other topics, this isn’t the first one that he has come across as being hostile.

farmv.1204:

So, I just found out that the Elementalist skill that summons a Fiery Greatsword does double the damage I do on my own… Am I a total scrub or is Necro dps seriously lacking? My current setup . I have Full exotic Berzerkers with Superior Divinity runes.

you’re not a scrub. necromancer probably has the lowest dps in the game right now. Why? I don’t know, apparently the devs hate us.

If you don’t intend to play a conditionmancer (which still doesn’t do that good of damage) then you should reroll now while you still can, to something else.

Jesus Christ, let people play what they want. Just because you think necros suck doesn’t mean everyone else does.

Killyox.3950:

Kaikas.4631:

Shelledfade.6435:

necro , worst class in game at the moment in s-pvp. They’re on a level that’s worse than bad.

So you flame a lot?

Do you know what flaming is? What he did is not flaming.

Actually it is when he posts in every single topic, saying the same crap over and over :/

Well so far so good, I have reached level 8…yes its not a big accomplishment…but I think it is considering some people posted in here that necros suck.

Shelledfade.6435:

Erebus.7568:

Shelledfade.6435:

necro weakest class in game in terms of s-pvp.

They’re so weak compared to guardian or warrior that it’s almost sickening to witness.

-_-
i can’t lose to a guardian even if i wait 10 sec with even attacking him…

necro’s DESTROY!!! any class in spvp…. maybe a really good rogue or ranger can survive but i highly doubt it and havent mead it yet.

the fact the necro will turn every boon on you to a condision and every con on himself to a boon and at the same time got a full 30sec invulnerability while putting out tons of dmg. etc etc.. calling him weak is a joke..

build him con dmg+thoughness, well based and stuff with plague as ult… his insanely strong. properly the strongest class in spvp

when that is said it really doesnt feel like a necro, it feels much more like a mesm, debuff/condmg and impossible to catch or kill.
it doesnt have the necro feel to it at all. sadly

lmfao? yeah ok bro. You must be playing some serious noobs who are coming at you naked or something. Keep on trollin.

you’re the one who is trollin’

There we go….I am in now….woot.

Gwappa.7041:

Well now I just got onto my character that was stuck. Maybe its fixed? try again

Not for me

God of Foxes.4132:

Everyone, is this the last character you were playing when the server went down?

Yes

this is happening with me as well…

For me its Queensdale :/

no thanks…Engys aren’t supposed to be a melee class

alright thanks

yup so other than a possible problem with running well, everything else is fine?

Swordbreaker.2581:

Only thing that concerns me is you picked an amd cpu. Gw2 doesnt seem to run very well on them.

Actually I didn’t lol….I am getting it for free

Processor AMD VISION A6-4400M
Memory 4GB DDR3
Hard Drive 750GB (5400 RPM)
Optical Drive DVD+R/RW
Graphics AMD Radeon™ HD 7520G Discrete-Class graphics

Its a HP G6….will this run GW2 smoothly?

Shelledfade.6435:

Kamakazie.2018:

Necro can do quite a bit and is extremely hardy. It sounds to me like you are stuck in the belief that the class needs to fill one of the 3 roles you listed.

Branch out, explore your options, realize that you can’t be pure DPS/Tank/Healer as any class in the game.

you don’t get it. In this game, burst DPS is what is most important in PVP, and in PVE is basically just dps as well in a lot of the end-game dungeons which I’ve been in.

Survivability as a necromancer means nothing if other classes also are hardy but can deal x3-x5 as much damage as we can in a short amount of time.

You’re clearly clueless on the issues of this subject.

And you’re clearly quite rude :/

What stats would I focus on if I am doing a MM build?

Shelledfade.6435:

BCDragon.5614:

Alright I have tried this class twice now and deleted it both times. I guess I am used to GW’s necromancer where the minions actually lived long enough to do their job. As the saying goes maybe the third time’s the charm so help me like the necro in GW2.

roll a different class, necro’s suck.

could say that about all the classes but I don’t so please don’t post things like that here. If you don’t like it, that’s fine but others do

Jneim.6328:

Dragon if your going minions exforcegamer on youtube has a very good guide for a MM build i would check it out!

really? thanks I’ll check that out

Well with the well of blood, I can keep the bone fiend alive longer now unless of course it gets surrounded then its pretty much toast. I am doing the duel dagger/staff combination which seems to be working.

VendettaDFA.9368:

I hear you The truth of the matter is … if you are having fun … you’re doing it right. Cookie cutters are for the kitchen not my character build. Have fun sir

I am actually going the way you went What did you use once you unlocked weapon swapping?

Karther.7481:

Having leveled my own main as a Necro to 80, I can safely say Minions are amazing in PvE. If you’re having problems then you’re doing it wrong, although at low level it might be hard to set it up.

Minions arn’t meant to live. No undead pun intended. They’re expendable, and half of them blow up when you command them to do their ability anyway. Ofcourse it’s better when they live, but hey.

You’re going to want the 20% minion recharge speed as your first 10pt trait box, then at higher levels the minion siphoning health box, the 50% more minion health box and 30% more minion damage box.

Bloodfiend – it steals a small amount of health, more with the siphoning health box. Decent ranged damage, it rarely dies.

Bonefiend – it does pull a lot of aggro to itself so ends up dying more than the others, but usually it’s okay. Decent ranged damage, turns into a rooting turret when you hit the button again.

Shadowfiend – a melee tank pet, with damage on par with the above two. Very useful, it will often keep the rest of my minions alive if it can get aggro. Blinds on command.

Bone Minions – low health, low melee damage. Command them to explode for sweet spike damage and finish AoE combos (Blast).

Flesh Worm – high damage ranged turret pet, cannot move. Teleports you to it and explodes in a poison DoT cloud on command.

Flesh Golem – high melee damage, snares, high health, has a large AoE charge that knocks targets down.

You can take the Bloodfiend, the Flesh Golem and then three of the other four. Personally I suggest leaving out either the Flesh Worm or the Bone Minions. I choose the Bone Minions most of the time myself.

Have a staff in one of your weapon slots at all times. Condition removal, fear and regen all helps your babies live. Then take a DPS combo of main hand and offhand. If you stack healing your Life Transfer heal (trait) and staff’s regen will do wonders to keep them up. If you go for DPS your DPS set combined with your minions will really do considerable damage.

I’ve yet to find a better PvE spec than minions, atleast solo. Remember they attack your target, so watch what you click.

Hope this helps.

God I hate when people say “You’re doing it wrong because I am at blah blah level”.

Hmm thats definitely different

Stryker.9632:

none of them seem to be all that difficult (I only have one toon at 8o though) just pick on your own personality and how you play in pvp.

Did you not read? They are new to GW…why in the hell would they even think about pvp?

Did you not think?
GW is all about pvp and WvW, but a new player wouldn’t know that.
That’s something that’s pretty kitten important

Oh my lord lol…GW is sooo not all about pvp….only a person who is into PVP would say something like that.

it has rifles lol

Edit: Someone else made this build but this is what I am following:

http://en.gw2codex.com/build/16931-turret-support

Haven’t gotten to traits yet only level 8, but I am doing a turret support build.

Can Engineers use rifles as a support build? I am currently using duel pistols but it doesn’t seem to do enough damage.

Gao Gao.4973:

i like all the people getting mad about the OP’s use of the term “gay”, yet they have no problem with his suggestion that the sylvari are gay “by choice”.

hilarious.

Show me one person that got mad o.O

Masterpyro.4310:

Lol I didn’t intend to make it funny, I’m just interested in the story behind this, whether its wide spread through out the race, or just these 2 different characters.

Im pretty sure there is nothing offensive about my post, the word gay itself is not offensive.

Actually it can be taken as offensive.

Not really into the PVP aspect of the game…well not yet anyway. I am mainly concerned with PVE.

kishter.9578:

i dont read you post but if you have any problem in game just roll a warrior and faceroll whole game untill you have max everything and full level 80 legendary underwear

So you didn’t read the post and yet you felt the need to post anyway? O.O

I see alot of people like the thief class. My main question is can you get away with not being stealthy with it? I want to try one but me and stealth don’t get along all that well so with that being said, would I have any problems or should I just steer clear of this class?

EyeSeeSound.1348:

BCDragon.5614:

Alright , that’s what I thought. He can kiss my behind because I am going to keep them. Thanks everyone

Made me smile. Make us he washes his lips first though, don’t want to catch anything.

LOL will do.

Alright , that’s what I thought. He can kiss my behind because I am going to keep them. Thanks everyone

Okay so everytime I talk to my friend about GW2 and the fact that I have both a mesmer and engineer, he is insisting that I should delete them now before going too much further as he thinks that both suck at higher levels and that I will be dying a lot. Now I am starting to think that maybe I should delete them and save myself the hassle. I really want to play these 2 classes but if he’s right, then I will delete them. So can anyone shed some light on this?

I have yet to buy anything other than the game and am having quite the fun with it. Anyone who feels the NEED to buy outside crap when you can get it in game is just being silly. You don’t need the extras to play the game, that’s just the greed getting the better of you.

thanks guys…will try those out as well

Hmmm okay thanks
