Guild Wars 2

Forgot about maces, they could work

Knote – I think you haven’t read the original post….this entire thread isn’t about balance, it’s about adding a new weapon because we only have 6 while the mesmer has 7 and the Ele has over 60 skills which amounts to 10 weapons

Everyone else – Torch works, I’d be very happy about that but I’d love if it was a green flame.
I loved your idea about how the weapons are put into the area of death and despair, I feel that the pistol would fit so perfectly into that setting as it’s been a morbid piece of human history for the last…what? 350 years? I have no idea.

Archmagel – Intresting…I hadn’t thought about the skills. I mean I think it would be ranged, or melee with a cleave (as we sorely lack that, as why I wanted rifle/pistol) but I’d think explode minion would work nicely as a skill, Taint steel could also work, ranged skill that causes weakness and vulnerbillity. Sweep legs, crippling. A gap closer would be nice (Think ranger greatsword launch) but I really have no idea

Archmagel. - I like our current weapon sets – The idea is to introduce an entirely new weapon because we lack one and are forced into using builds that don’t use the broad spectrum of weapons we have. But that’s a design problem.

Duleshna- Again, I like all the weapons we have currently and I don’t think a greatsword fits. but a rifle or a pistol would fit quite nicely and could have a nice dark arts feel to it.

Knote – AOC was terrible and that class was a massive glass cannon that sucked balls in the later levels – Tempest of set was much better

I never said we were squishy.

I never said we couldn’t hold greatswords.

Greatsword is over-used and over-rated. it’s also the most expensive weapon type on trading post

And greatsword would fit perfectly if we had heavy armor. We don’t, we have cloth.

A pistol that can fire green flames or the like would be great. It’s about making use of what weapons we have available to us. Not “OMG GREATSWORDS XDDDDD”

So those 2-3 seconds you just run around in circles not going for his illusions?

Nice.

Well…mesmers glaring flaw is that when they have no illusions up they suffer hugely.

Surely you could just switch your focus to his illusions? He’s going to shatter no-matter what.

I’ve only recently started playing necro and I love it, but I do not love the amount of bugs we have (Especially that god kitten flesh golem)

And lately the developers (Since they got that cake) have been posting here an awful lot more then I’ve seen before

But over-all this. I really have 2 questions for them, and the rest of the necro community.

1: While some of you, (And most) say you don’t understand DS yet – I’m very confused by this. It’s a pretty straight forward process of a skill, if a little underwhelming.

I’d be pretty happy to see the damage go up by 400-500 (Maybe less) points or, the 2 skill’s debuffs lasting longer, or 3’s fear lasting 2-3 seconds instead of 1. – After all. We are pretty scary!

2: Another weapon. I’ve got a mesmer alongside a necromancer, and when it comes down to utility skills and weapon skills, Mesmer and the Ele just feel like they have more.

The mesmer has
Sword
Greatsword
Staff
Scepter
Focus
Torch
Pistol

Necromancer has
Staff
Scepter
Focus
Dagger
Axe
Warhron

And finally, the Ele has
Staff
Dagger
Scepter
Focus
But as we know, they also get 20 skills per 2 handed weapon and so on.

Now, granted we only have 1 less then the Ele I feel like my playstyle is more linear and I have less room to move around in my builds to produce a desired playstyle.

Again, what I would love to see is just another weapon added to our weapon skills. Most people I know that have played necro do enjoy the staff, but it’s just not the same as having an Ele staff or a Mesmer staff. Your marks are ranged yes, but it’s not the same.

I feel that at range (sometimes) is where our weakness is (And I’m most likely wrong).

Now, I don’t think that Necromancers with greatsword is a good idea. It would like stupid. Swords would work and also Torch (green fire anyone?) but I’d really REALLY prefer it be a pistol or a rifle.

Only 2 professions have the rifle, an amazing weapon in it’s own-right on both classes that have it.

Only 3 professions have a pistol.

I know It’s not easy to program, make and design an entire new skill set. I assume there would be conversation as either to make it offhand or main hand (Or both) but I really think the necro community would appreciate this – And I really think you guys could make some kick kitten skills.

As in… Number 5! Launch Minion!

I’m going to shatter a mirror here for people.

When the female charr jump and have a weapon drawn it as absoloutley horrible

Pistols or Rifles would work nicely.

Sword would also be nice

Can’t see greatsword working.

Would love Pistol or rifle.

Hi there, I’ve been away for a few weeks and I’ve come back, logged into Lions arch and quite literally.

What the kitten /p>

I see everyone with these really cool backs? where can i get one?

Considering my last class was a mesmer, big numbers aren’t what I want

Condition is useless in big fights like Shatterer and any swamped group event, yes?

Hi there, before anyone tells me I KNOW how broken the necro class is and I know it’s also the class that will undergo the most changes (Hopefully positive)

Just wondering what the best (Best being fastest killing weapon) for levelling is.

Played a mesmer, so I’m not unknown to weapon swapping

I played HUGELY at launch (over 400 hours in a month) and I’ve literally burned myself out. but I’m considering returning to this game.

How are Ele’s at level 80? My highest is a mesmer at 72 and another mesmer at 66 (Humans looked lame and I wanted a charr) then a warrior at 55.

Failing that, can anyone reccomend me a class?

I have 4 charr and 1 Human. I love Charr they are great. They are animated well and just look awesome.

My main Charr is a 56 mesmer withkitten Warrior backing up the rear the rest are just small time alts.

I liked that the fact that Guardians, Warriors, Engineers, Thiefs, and Rangers fit into the storylines very nicely.

What I don’t like is the fact that if you choose any light armor class aside from maybe the Necro, he could fit into ash quite or blood, They feel tottaly out of place.

I hope in the future they add a 4th option for a Charr storyline as Norn did get 4 that adds the 4th legion of “Flame Legion Retribtuon” (Or like, you can make up a good name, it’s not my job!)

That would suit light armor perfect. A legion setup to bring justice to the flame legion.

It’s quite an easily write able story line, It could just be about gaining the other legions trust.

Uh, it’s WvW the only advantage he should have is some stats, even then it’s not a huge advantage.

I hear so many complaints that Mesmers are OP and they need to be nerfed. Then I came across this.

While I personally have no problems against most players. I met this guy. He destroyed me in 4 seconds.

Andele.1306:

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.

Well I can remove it, so it’s either A bugged or B working as intended.

It feels more like a boon.

The mobs are not the problem

The fact that risen can frenzy is. It increases the damage output of them by times 2. So it feels like you are fighting 10 of them.

Mesmer’s have it easy here because we can remove boons, I feel sorry for classes that can’t

There’s really nothing wrong with Mesmers.

Wipe out the clones and they have little damage to really screw you with. The Staff clones are the only ones that do damage the other clones do none.

The Phantasams for all do the huge damage

I know it’s a huge load of work for them but It’s more of an expansion idea and it’s a nice fresh idea for fighting an underwater dragon

A confusing title, to rope people in.

I’m just snowballing an idea I had while pooping.

As we all know there is currently a deep sea dragon that has yet to be named and perhaps not even been awoken yet.

My idea is a very simple one, yet quite hard to impalement – A zone with a tidal wave

The zone is a 50/50 zone stick with me here. If you enter the zone as the waters are receeding it is a beach area with some hills and big metal poles sticking out of the ground all over the zone (Will get to this in a moment).

After time there will be a zone wide announcement and a huge dragon roar that a tidal wave is incoming. This will proceed to flood the ENTIRE zone, literally. Everything. While Krait swarm in from the ocean, mixing this into a big dynamic event chain as-well.

After time the water will receed out. but after the initial tidal wave the water will pull any player who is currently not attached to one of the metal poles out into the water, either killing them or making them fight high level krait with a “Disorientated” Debuffed that decreases damage and health by 50% for 15 seconds-20 seconds.

As I said, the water will eventually go back into the ocean until a few hours later when another tidal wave is thrown into the zone.

Hi there, I love playing male Charr and just love charr I’ve got a 66 human mesmer and I also LOVE mesmers, but I don’t really like humans

Anyway, I want a Charr male name that goes well with Blazeclaw

Me and my IRL friend are both playing Charr and we want to have Blazeclaw as our surnames.

Basically I just want a Mesmer sounding good name that goes with blazeclaw

Please help me!
