Guild Wars 2

I use those two weapons for dungeons and WvW.
At first I tried to go full P/V/T but then I realized that I was loosing too much damage output (and backstab thieves were still instagabing me)
ATM, I’m runing with P/V/T gear, amulet and rings, ranger runes, and ruby (berserker’s) jewerly and earings
Stats:

I’m shocked… we beg to ANet for small changes and they didn’t hear us,

They have no time for bugs and they have time for THIS?

If legendary weapons would be slighty better i’d be ok, but they already said “legendary weapons will be buffed to stay as the best choise after ascended”,

That means all my exotic weapons, armor and trinkets will remain two steps behind and i’ll have to grind for months a dungeon with hysteric players playing the game as a job?

I was wearing exotic yesterday, now i’m two steps behind… i’m wearing blue items one day to another?! As a general rule i’d say “you can’t change the rules in the middle of the game” There’s people that spended real money to buy those exotic things because they have no time and want to stay competitive at wvw !!!

There’s real money, free time that i may spend on something else and effort behind those “ciber items”, and now they worth crap?

I played this game since the beggining and i wished to play it for a long time,

This is a big blow to me and in my opinion to the mayority of this comunity, companies need to listen more and do less and better,

We beg to the spirits… but they rarely answer…

I can now imagine a lot of ex-rangers with their warriors/thieves kicking our kitten out of a group. I guess you guys are right.

I know a lot of people will disagree, specially after this patch. But have you Rangers considered the posibility that other classes are now seing us as a usless, unhelpfull, with absolutely NOTHING good to offer mainly because we rangers keep spreading this on every single forum?
A month or two ago, we were as broken as we are now and I never saw anyone ask a ranger to switch to another char, or kick him out of a group.
Of course, some of you will say “it took some time until they found out how crappy we really are”, and well, maybe there’s some truth there, but I still believe that if we didn’t hate our own profession this hard, others wouln’t hate us this hard neither.

Like what Azel said, sometimes I feel other players ridiculously underestimate us, not because we actually suck that bad, but because they have heard too many times that we are good for nothing.

It’s been what? less than 6 months since release? And people is already quiting/rerolling because a few patches didn’t improve our profession?
I’m sticking around, playing the class I like the most, and being pacient.
And don’t get me wrong, I DO wanna see some improvements, specially to our pets. I woulda been satisfied just to see them hitting moving targets and stepping out of AoE (without us having to press F3). And if devs recognize that is going to take a lot of time to have it done, we should have the “perma-stow” option in exchange of some buff, that’s one of the best ideas I’ve read here.
At the moment I’m only able to stow my pet while running alone or in a small group at WvW, just to pretend I’m not a ranger, quite sad.

racta.4250:

I don’t want to start a flame war or anything, but maybe it’s not the ranger they don’t want. Maybe it’s you the player.

It makes sense to me. I’ve done a lot of AC, CM, TA and HoTW Exp runs and never ever got kicked out of the party, nor in the occasional runs I did in all the other dungeons (except Arah, I’ve never done it :p).

But I’m also noticing that people is getting more and more picky when looking for groups. When I started farming nobody used to ask what level/profession you were. Lately I’ve even been asked to link my gear. But seriously, don’t blame it on rangers, we are not that bad running dungeons. It’s just that some players suck so bad at dungeons with their squishy builds that they only like warriors and guardians to save their kitten

I’d say the balanced one perhaps?

Breaking news, the warrior gets nerfed let’s move to ranger !!!

I’m more worried about what are we going to re – roll after the warrior gets nerfed, maybe we should lv up every class… just in case,

You all said you were playing the thief because you like the playstyle, am i wrong?

Well, the playstyle remains the same, keep having fun just like I’m having fun with my crappy necro since the beggining

Zetta.6032:

I really dont get it, with so many nerf where’s the buff???? It’s not like we are immune to dmg during dancing dagger why the huge 50% nerf (we wear medium amour not heavy amour)……. lets move to ranger or warrior…… basically no nerf but only buffs on these 2 classes.

Indeed, let’s play the OP classes everybody otherwise we can’t insta kill other idiots playing the weaker ones, that’s not my idea of fun you know…

I’m with you bro…

I understand that burning doesn’t fit, but at this point “fitting” is my last concern,

Removing the 25 cap to bleeding won’t fix our lack of burst damage, nobody’s able to stack // survive more than 25 bleeding with 1400+ condition damage anyway,

I think it would be the solution to all condition necros,

The main problem we face it’s the lack of burst damage against single targets and burning, in my humble opinion, could be the answer,

At the moment our only source of damage is bleeding, hard to stack with our eternal cast times and easy to remove,

Other condition classes have access to burning like rangers, engis and mesmers, plus they are able to stack bleeding much faster than us, even they are able to do some physical damage,

I don’t think that necros are weak, opposite I think we are great, except a few bugs and lack of proper trinkets,

In my opinion, instead of making new conditions, burning seems to be the easiest and fastest solution,

Ayurox.1069:

Its going to be quite easy for me to make a decision

NERF Backstab and i’m literally gone from GW2 forever, I have 3 classes

Thief – Warrior & Engineer and I must say Thief just appeals me the most.

Alot of people wont like this and alot of will leave, its going to be funny to see them destroy some gamer numbers down the road same as in other games.

Yep… if they nerf thieves Gw2 will be banished from the earth and nobody will play it, have fun with it and everybody will uninstall the game… I cannot imagine Gw2 without insta stealth backstabs, it would be horrible !

Seriously… good bye dude, take care and have fun

As most people say, this seems hardly viable…

In my opinion necros shine at conditions, that’s the most effective way to play it even with so many balance issues, equipment hard or even imposible to get (as trinkets), and bugs

PD:

“When you run a condition build and everyone else puts up a full stack of bloods on any mob it limits you to the few conditions necros have WHICH MEANS you will get bronze medals, crap loot and no gold or karma from events.”

I ALWAYS get golden medals in group events

Is not approved by Grenth in my HUMBLE opinion,

1) Your movility as necromancer sucks, most people will be able to close distance or keep you at range, or just run away, I never tried this build, but i think that any decent melee clases will tear you apart and range clases will avoid you easily,

2) I’d add some toughness to your build, so much critical damage as general rule (except thiefs) ends in no critical damage at all,
(any necro should use some toughness due to our high vitality),

3) I would use lich form as elite in this build instead of the golem,

4) I would use BIP instead signet of spite, 10 might stacks helps a lot, but it’s discutible

5) I would use signet of the locust instead spectral walk,

6) I would use a warhorn instead a focus just to improve your mobility with locust swarm, plus the focus will not synergizes well with this build

I’ll try this build anyway, just for curiosity

Regards !

“you cant escape from a necro, mate”

" I have a thief and although I don’t necessarily think they are OP (consider how squishy and easy to kill they are)"

I read until here, and then laugh,

Yesterday, with 22K life and 1600 toughness i got “insta backtab killed” by a invisible thief,

Plus, if they cannot kill me with the first burst, they just click “invisible mode” and ran away,

I tried to find something related, so i’m sorry if this was already posted,

There are only 7 exotic trinkets combinations, plus the WvWvW (1) and the pendants (4),

The funniest part is that ALL except one got “power”,

Is it just me? Because in my humble opinion think that we need more stats combinations,

I’d love to see some condition // vitality // toughness or condition // vitality // precision or condition // toughness // precision and even more,

Regards !

I don’t want to attack you, but TA is really really easy, and i see the blossoms like a “insta rally” i’d love to have blossoms in arah.

TheRabbit.9478:

You mean 90 vitality 64 healing 64 condition damage.

http://www.gw2db.com/items/12770-shamans-amulet

Just about every variation of the trinkets are in the loot tables, but they drop so infrequently, and they are bind on pickup, you hardly ever see them.

Ups thanks you are right,

That was exactly what i thought, thanks !

Nono I saw the +90 toughness // +64 healing power // +64 condition damage, i’m sure it was an exotic shaman’s amulet and as i said it doesn’t exist in pve, like rabid amulet it’s a spvp amulet,

That’s why i’m thinking that maybe rabid trinkets can be obtained in pve after all,

I wrote it in a hurry so if there’s some grammar mistake i’m sorry,

Regards !

Hi !

Today one guy at cursed shore linked a exotic “Shaman’s Amulet”, he said a mob drop it, and as far as i know it cannot be crafted or dropped,

As we know, if you get a trinket as map reward, chest or mob you can’t post it in the TP so maybe the rabid trinkets exists after all,

Anybody can confirm?

LithePanther.5027:

I doubt they will, because the PvP amulet is your only source of stats in PvP, so if you NEED precision toughness and condition damage you can have it.

In PvE it’s quite easy to mix and match armor/acessories to get the stats you need, so I doubt they’d add new categories when it’s redundant and unneeded

Condition mancers only need condition// tough and precision so there’s no need to mix, it’s pretty easy to understand, we need rabid trinkets to be effective

lunartic.3647:

If you absolutely “must” have the rabid accessories, the closest you can get is to buy the yellows then slot in crest of the rabids (rares).

Where can i find those “yellows” rabis trinkets? I only found green ones for karma vendors in Orr and the rabid crests on tp

Nels the Cornwhisperer.8025:

I think it’s intended, because condition damage is a terrible stat, and we all know it. Giving people access to purposely bad gear is bad, and A-net doesn’t want to do it. If they ever fix Condition Damage to be on par with the other stats, then maybe they’ll also make it easier to find.

I can assure you i’m able to kill most players with my condition build both wvw and spvp so i just assume you dont know what the hell are you talking about,

but thxs for your input…

KratosAngel.7289:

Shameless bump because we deserve an answer from a member of Anet staff. Just an answer like “we know this but it is intended because bla bla bla” or “we know this and we plan to fix it in the near future” or “we did not know this, thank you for the feedback, I’ll tell the team about this”.
Thank you

+1

I just want to know if its intended or no

I’d love to read and official response either “rabid trinkets will never exist” or “we’re working on in” to see if i’m going to use my condition necro or i leave it in oblivion, 5 parts of equipment with stats that i dont need completly ruin a build

Aziff.3248:

I am dreaming about Rabid accessory everyday, Anet please help make my dreams come true. Atm i have 3 carrion/2 coral, but i want to have complete prec/tough/cond dmg gear

+1

Please Anet make it happens there is a lot of people wanting this

I’m waiting for this too, there’s some trinkets with those stats but green at best… i’d love to see some exotic trinkets, (on tp or crafteable)… please Anet !!!
