… holy rambling tangent, batman!
think you might need to head over to the PvP forums and vent a little
And the purpose of your response… was… what exactly?
I did read both this and the DS HP Pool thread by Arianna, the full thread for both. But my memory is terrible and I don’t want to sift through everything again so I’ll go ahead and ask.
IF the 30% LF actually worked, what would be better, just speaking for traits. 30 points in Blood Magic for +300 vitality, or 30 points in Soul Reaping for 30% larger LF pool? Just referring to what would make a larger Life Force pool
If it worked(which it doesn’t) 30% LF would be better by a land slide. The degradation of LF % while in DS for one isn’t affected by the actual number of your health. It degrades by #%. And if lets say your hp is sitting at 20k… 30% of that isn’t too shabby. And 20k is baraly over glass canon with no vit.
But again…
- You don’t get 30%.
- Your LF # is inconsistent to the point of irritation.
For survivability Blood would definitely be better. DS would be for a crit/ds build though.
He asked about LF pool very specifically… not opinion on spec. Also you can’t heal your main health while in DS so this suggestion is somewhat irrelevant to DS. Only way to increase life force while in DS is from 1% LF on crit trait and LT.

Not to be a nuisance if it works for you… but this won’t work on anyone with a clue. If i see someone with a dagger I know better then to go melee range on them.
I have never gotten killed by a well bomb so far. And recently I even dropped signet of plague since its pretty much garbage now. Too much downtime also makes spvp a waste. You are neither useful most of the time nor can you get much glory with that.
I would honestly blame the horrid scoring system for that though. It doesn’t even attempt to consider anything short of running with zerg for maximum glory. If you play to win your “winnings” are less then someone who lost by a land slide yet got twice as much glory for it.
If SWTOR did anything right it was pvp scoring and fun maps. I could never have enough of huttball. Maps had a purpose while in GW2… winning really means nothing.
Why isn’t healing done to others give something? Why isn’t damage taken before death considered?…
My ele can pretty much go through entire match w/o dying if team is competent. I would provide so many combofields that its impossible to not be buffed by me. And heavy healing/support spec ensure that I heal people 50% of the time. Yet for all that work… for all the leading 5 ppl on marry chase while rest of team 3 caps. I get nothing. It’s same blunderbus with necro. If you aren’t there tearing people to shreds with a zerg winning isn’t really going to give you much.
Still… considering condition is so bloody situational. Id never bother using it in pve… If its event then theres 25 bleed stacks before my scepter finishes first swing. It only works for spvp and wvw it does its job admirably considering how broken everything else is. Wells are fun even more so after you realize you can’t really pvp effectively with anything but conditions. But on larger scale you are hurting yourself. And abysmal cooldowns are the worst offenders.
We are the only class that gets most of our damage not from weapon skils… but utilities. Engineer with kits would sort of fall under the same classification but each utility grants 5 skills. And almost non-existent swap cd makes for a lot of variety and not sitting for 40 seconds waiting for your one and only combo to come back up.

My only issue with the tower is on an asuran. I can get my human through it ok, but the camera on the asuran is completely screwy.
That’s a general issue with horrid camera mechanics. You will get as much camera issues on human as on asura… just in different places.
Speaking of Dishonored… that’s the quality I miss.
Flawless gameplay… right out of the box. Did it have a pointer… sure… you could finish the game technically in ~6 hours or so. Or you could be stuck for dozens of hours on 1 map trying to do things your way… not the easy mindless way. And back on puzzle… when I ran it one thing that I noticed almost instantly were people that constantly waited for other to jump… they didn’t even try to memorize the route or use a plan. Just rolled with the mass. Watching 10 people jump to their death just because one guy did is…. well… sad?
@Oculus… yep that’s exactly what I read from fist post. Does nothing for disabled people. It just spoon feeds the masses. When person is suffering from joint damage/arthritis… you won’t see them playing a video game that requires constant use of fingers which would cause massive pain to begin with.
Good luck to all of you close to the storm. I wish to see you back in Tyria happily ever after.
<3
My wishes go to people that have to deal with Sandy left overs… that nonsense is till going last I heard… and just because its loosing classifications doesn’t mean much.
It was classified as category 1 when it hit East Cost… current damage says otherwise.
Clock tower is the only thing besides game world detail that I can praise Anet for. Catering to 0 attention span and spoon feeding 10 year olds on every single blasted step isn’t the way you make history. Ever wondered why everyone loved vanilla WoW… even though it was buggy even though some classes weren’t even finished when it went live… even when all the filler quests were 1. fetch x of y from z and then bring it back. and 2. kill x y times and report back. It wasn’t those parts… it was the fact that game had content that was reserved for the ones that were willing to get 40 people to work as a team. it was that carrot that was always there luring people. its a fact that most team content was fun and required some ability to work as a team… no naxx didn’t require “m@d sk1llz” it required patience. I was full time college student with 3 hours of travel 1 way… and I still managed. And in the end you were rewarded for that work. I could walk into av and faceroll entire raid by myself. To get there I had to deal with 4 hours of sleep for 5 days a week. was it a good idea… no. did i enjoy every last second of it… hell yeah.
This xbox generation is so kitten used to getting spoon fed same crap over and over and over again and you still want moar. I’m baffled how some garbage like “modern” warfare #91231122321415151 is still called by some “game of the year” seriously? Don’t you have like 20-50 reskins of same shooter with same mechanics as it is?
How about you all relax take a chill pill and actually break a sweat. Try to learn the route and decide on best path. Yes there is actually more then 1 way for quiet a few jumps. Is the reward itself good? Its garbage… you need to cough up on casino if you want something good here. But it was still satisfying to finish clock tower on necromancer that can’t get any speed buffs. And yes I raged like a boss for those first 30 minutes.
I’m still not sure why people get flustered about tower so much. Spent ~30mins raging at it first. Since im necro with everything broken and no passive speed naturally(hell even mad kings outfit for which i payed is broken for necromancer only)… but after I did it I ended up farming it for about an hour or so for bags… did 30? runs… then I got bored doing blind jumping with all the blasted norns and charrs and considering regular bags are a waste of time. I left and didn’t feel any inclination to ever go back to it.
But fact is its doable even on necro ~_~. For classes that can get speed buff… should be cake walk.
That’s how casinos operate… And I fully expect I’ll get suspended for this… again.. lol.
Anet operates like a true asian child company. Censorship is a must!
I’d rather bash my head on the wall then gamble. Seems to me about as productive and fun.
I’m from Staten Island… so this nonsense went right over my head. As far as damage goes…. Sandy ended up already a lot worse then Irene by a land slide. Roads are covered in toppled trees ripped off power lines. There are houses that got shredded and now missing walls/roofs. Southern part is a pool to put it nice way. Most of SI has no power. As far as I’m concerned the fact that I lost power at about 10pm during the peak of storm speaks volumes about ConEd… and at 6am I got it back. How in the world I even have power right now is beyond me. I had to drive at 7am and roads are a mess… trees block most roads even major ones. Cars that got blown away… No power on southern side means chunks of roads don’t even have working traffic lights. And with all that said…
I still saw a few “people” that implied that their laziness in getting up early on WEEKENDS to see a cutscene… is in some way equavalent to what americans that live on east coast deal with right now. Are you out of your god kitten mind? We payed for a game… we aren’t kittening about staying late or getting up early on weekends to play what we payed for. We are asked for extension on event due to the fact we face a natural disaster with billions in damage and lives lost on top of that. People like you… well… I’m tired of getting suspended on forums because Anet can’t take criticism so I leave that part to your imagination.
I’m somewhat baffled why this topic is still around. Its obvious Anet doesn’t care.
On side note…
- Mad Kings Outfit – Weapons brawling skill 1 and 4(feast) reset score for necromancer only. Both primary attack and feast table attack actually do some bizzare damage that is healed right after and cause score to reset.
Even payed content for necro is bugged. Give it up… best thing that can happen is necromancer gets removed and they leave existing necros as unsupported class.
Might I ask for an *experts* response on the following bug report:
in Necromancer
Posted by: HiSaZuL.2843
Didn’t you know… if you ask questions you get suspended. That’s how Anet rolls.
God forbid you have an opinion here. Them koreans like their censorship and you dare to violate their sacred rights… Shame on you heretics.
Death Shroud now triggers automatically upon getting into 5000 range of other classes. It now properly removes all skills until you enter downed state.
John Peters tutorial on Death Shroud was removed due to popular demand by thief profession.
Dodge mechanic has been disabled for Necromancers due to unintended bug which caused players to avoid attacks from other players.
This is almost as epic as vanilla warlock forums. It was almost as bad… Anet did the impossible! In their quest to be innovative they put a lot of effort to make it even more broken then unfinished place holder class.

Heh im one of the idiots with deluxe edition >_>
These forums are filled with awesome ideas… but lets be real here. This is free to play in best case scenario there are no abundance of funds for large under takings and so far we didn’t even see any interest show in suggestions/ideas on anet side. So its a beautiful dream nothing more.
For now all I got is beatiful play field and kitteny to boot class. That i stubbornly stick with.
Oh well…
Minion ai can go to hell… I got a full bag of bugs that chase me from ever bothering with anything other then conditions.
Hell since they “fixed” epidemic and bip i don’t want to play condition any more either.
Maybe instead of fixing we should ask to be left a lone? Any more of anet fixes and this class is going to be actually fully unplayable.
Yep like andele said…
I do love healing my enemies… it makes perfect sense.
While mesmer can moa you… and dispel all your minions your kittenhroud your plague and your lich form all in 1 swooping motion.
(edited by HiSaZuL.2843)
Dude… the human tree shape is epic. Sadly i found it more useful then death shroud. Talk about sad state of affairs. Kinda wish I could use race skills in spvp -_-
@Thresher.3049
Lol brother.
I play so much pvp as condition I honestly can’t deal with pve in any other shape then full MM. Granted like i said its pve so I actually don’t have much problem. Its still buggy still requires patience of an Egyptian sphinx statue and tolerance of an angel… but im just sick of swinging scepter.
Andele as much as I loved raiding in wow more then the rest of that game combined. PvE npcs don’t think. They do same thing. Its a matter of learning what npcs do and when then using a strategy to win. And dungeons are one part of pve in most cases. Once you consider grind for legendaries/karma/mats etc… Dungeons are also a small part of it.
I cleared explorables that were supposedly mega hard with a full group of ranged… I mean we had no guardian no warrior and no thief… We still finished it. Even tho not a single one of us was there before and knew who does what and when. It was simple perseverance. Didn’t not have rage quiters simple as that.
Guess all im trying to say as much as i prefer pve over pvp. PvP is still part of the game. And in our case a bigger part of the game. We don’t have raids we don’t have anything that works in that fashion. We do have more then usual PvP related content. SPvP,tPvP WvW… WvW also carries weight. And determines state of server. If server does kitteny in WvW it tends to loose people fast. As much as I dislike getting involved in pissing contest over who got bigger kitten and more “skills” at pressing buttons. In GW2 case pvp carries more weight.
Kayotik got the right idea here… pve is… it doesn’t really matter you can go w/o a single trait point spet and no utilities and still faceroll.
In pvp however… necro is trash period. There is 1 spec that works. But is easily overpowered by the fact that engineer can out perform in that field.
And for the… necro is support class claims. Elementalist/guardian/mesmer/engineer and to a degree even ranger is miles ahead.
The absolute HIGHEST damage you can get is 5k… which last for few shots. If you got your mesmer anywhere you know 5k is easily achievable with every other class. Necro also has no CC at all. There are few 1 sec fears which really don’t make kitten for difference.
All in all… just open bug compilation topic which is even stickied. Forget balance and sanity and being competent compared with other classes. Just look at the bug list. Don’t even need to look at our “made in china” trait trees. Just bugs alone.
Been necro since about ~10 seconds after servers went live for early access and necro is still my only char. I got 1 more char which is place holder for a name. But I haven’t logged on that name holder since i made it about… 20 seconds after i finished making my main.
God is my witness I think necro is by far the most pathetic class in mmo I have seen in… well… probably since warlock at wow launch. But it was simply unfinished class. Here its just broken. And any attempt to ask anet on wtf is going on is met with topics deletion/locking.
We were officially promised and told necro class needs love and we will get it. Back at BWE… what happened you ask? Scepter was almost halved. That was biggest nerf we got so far.
Then we were ignored in first patches completely for a month or so. While fully functioning classes were getting balanced/fixed. We finally got few fixes which ended up as nerfs. BIP to name 1… was single reliable way for our one and only working pvp spec to get life force… now its gone.
I won’t reroll but neither will I ever recommend to anyone to bother with this kitten class.
(edited by HiSaZuL.2843)
That would require caring… Which is lacking atm. I would adore the idea of having something a long the lines of:
Necrotic life bar.
Each minion uses a % of that bar. Once you don’t have enough necrotic life to summon something thats it.
Each minion requiring some % depending on power/output and so forth.
Trash like bone minions requiring least and you would be able to have 10 or hell 20 of those 1 shotable fodder noodles at the same time.
Something like flesh golem naturally would use a helova lot more effort to sustain so each using 33% would be reasonable enough. Now you can actually customize what it is that you want.
You are in dungeon and severely lacking blind… summon 5 shadow fiends and chain their blind. Its short enough to not really make a wallop of difference in pvp due to cd on re-summon and skill itself.
You sitting defending a tower/keep in WvW… summon 5 flesh wyrms on walls and be actually useful to the team.
Hell… you don’t even need to re-invent a wheel. Use existing life force for this.
Same example flesh golem requires 33% life force to summon and uses 33% of maximum life force as long as it is summoned.
So now you have a choice.
1. Get some life force and use it to summon 1 golem and have 66% life force for death shroud.
2. Not use life force for minions and have it exclusively for death shroud.
But lets be realistic… it will NEVER happen. Because it would require giving a kitten Which has not been given since bwe. We only get nerfed and not even given a courtesy of getting bugs fixed.
(edited by HiSaZuL.2843)
I stopped reading after tanky lol. My elementalist is more tanky then you could ever be with full toughness/vitality gear and any build. Don’t even mention mesmer.
Add to to endless list of bugs that aren’t getting fixed >_>
And welcome to necro forums. Its a ship… sinking ship. Or maybe a sinking raft?
@SupahSpankeh.8452
Did you expect an answer from that? Pfft get real… anet locks/deletes posts that ask for a response. Welcome to forums that don’t matter.
This isn’t like old Blizzard where when you reported a bug you could even get a GM show up and ask for details. Hell if your guild was fast on raiding content it wasn’t anything special when GM sat through progression with your guild asking question on strategies, getting input on difficulty and what can be changed/improved. Here you just get some random mod close the topic and tell you some kitten nobody cares to hear. This is why I haven’t touched GW2 in a month… still hoping the class that I picked will get at least bug fixes. But… anet is busy with some kitteny festival for which I do not care. It doesn’t matter how great it could be… once I get on my necro any sort of pleasant feeling evaporates. Even the detail of game world doesn’t help anymore. And that was the one and only thing I could praise anet for… details. Now i just can’t care anymore.
In an mmo first priority should be fixing bugs. Not releasing redundant festivals. Especially when game hasn’t even been out for long.
Anyone who traits their character based on the stats you gain can generally be ignored anyways.
Now now… mods around these boards don’t check they just suspend as soon as someone gets butthurt or feels that his kitten is being threatened so lets pretend to be civilized and care for our slower brethren.
I even got suspended for pointing out that dude can’t do math >_>
Your grasp of trait trees leaves much to be desired then… last I checked hate it or love it. MM spec is full of vamp passives and greater simply because nothing else is even remotely relevant. But good job making a whole paragraph about it. And snap… even wells get vamp traits… kitten those pesky passive traits how dare they kitten on your logic?!
Be glad you didn’t start as flavor of the month class… sooner or later. The kitten will hit the fan and then thiefs will just get nerfed with every new patch… unless their population will forever remain as majority. Which in f2p isn’t going to happen. People will get bored eventually… when they do they will go for next best thing, and as soon as population drops low enough, and the loud leet closet dwellers start yelling for buff x nerf y(cuz we are bored of y) they will get so grounded to kitten that until GW3 they will remain unrepairable. Happens with “most” of mmo flavor of the month on release classes. Then again when class is this kitten friendly… kids will stick to it like they stick to weed. Necro is crap… thief and warrior are like wows bm hunters at bc… you just press one button and you win… but i’d rather quit then play kitten like that. Besides i hate melee classes.
Oh… and we still haven’t seen any videos of competent people vs. also competent/non-afk people. So much for proving.
Now I wonder if my initial thought that some enemies had passive non-visible regen were simply getting healed from vampiric traits… meh this game gets more broken by the minute.
Delete corresponding sound file from pak. Granted patches tend to re-download them… and if game crashes due to missing file you will be automatically forced into file check which will download anything that doesn’t pass hash check.
Well I’ll be… moa screenshots are convincing. Never seen moas having regen of any kind. Those lizards tend to have hidden regen even past the regular boon regen but moa…. never seen that.
Well… then again… this is necromancer we are talking about… the bug infested kitten hole. So I’m not really surprised.
HiSaZuL.2843
1) We aint that whiny, he is still worse, also thats a bo staff, not a caster staff.
2) Making it spectral would make sense from a mechanical standpoint because all of the spectral skills actually are there for personal utility, while corruptions are negatives to both you and enemy, only that you can eat/transfer/clear em.
Corruption skills deal with conditions. So do wells. While spectral skills don’t transfer/remove any conditions. So I fail to see your point. With that logic all signets should be spectral… and all heals… and minions… none of them harm you so must be personal utility…
Green numbers are heals on you…. Turn on your blasted combat log… granted last i looked at it… it was pretty much useless.
Also as far as I remember selks or w/e those things are called regenerate pretty fast.
(edited by HiSaZuL.2843)
Oh and I almost forgot… it has no synergy with any sane build other then a collection of spectral utilities, hate to break it to you bud but we are the only class that relies on utilities to do actual damage. Our utilities is what gives us any kind of fighting chance not weapons… Didn’t think about that too… did you? If you want utility skills to be utility skills… play another class. This isn’t the one. Here its reverse of every other class. Utilities are main abilities and your weapons are like side dishes. Even scepter on condition necro is only there for bleed on auto attack main use is in epidemic/plague signet/BoP(now crap imo)/CB.
Ive seen this topic here for a while now… and honestly im surprised this hasn’t died and fallen through the floor on the first post.
And i think staff is robins signature weapon… we should be renamed to batmans worst sidekick. Makes perfect sense imo.
How is consuming negative effects makes you think spectral?… Did they change what dictionary says or something? I understand the whole semantics and likes but how in gods name does that even make any sense? If anything its either a corruption or blood skill. Corruption because it deals with conditions as every last corruption skill. Blood because half the skills deal with turning negative effects into positive or vise versa… or healing with a side dish of protection.
So again… in what universe does a healing skill that removes condition make sense as spectral skill? Which for the most part deal with generating life force and protection in few different forms but protection non the less.
Still yet to see you prove your claims are anything more then claims. So I’m withdrawing… it is obvious you are incapable of doing anything other then making wild claims.
That’s just data mined stuff. Left over text from tooltips and descriptions.
Sure you could… I once killed 2 warriors and a thief while i forgot to put utilities and spend trait points. What exactly does that prove? Nothing past the fact you are trolling miserably and in the best case scenario it would be a montage of terrible people doing terrible things. Do prove me wrong… I’d be actually thankful to be proven wrong. So far nobody on these boards that crawled out and said necros are fine/op/what ever other kitten kissing b/s you can come up with, provided anything past a short you tube with some spvp of 8vs2 utter stomping. Hell im most cases people seem to think its awesome idea to throw BW links… yeah… go ahead I’m waiting for that 4 hour video. And currently… you have provided no facts… funny how that works amright?
Oh and good job on editing out that facts comment. Good job padawan you made me proud.
You all failed at reading it seems. He asked to prove it… not theorycraft and throw your assumptions around like its christmas.
I haven’t seen a single video of even remotely competent necromancer game play past collection of occasions where you find terrible players and steam roll them. And no… I don’t need your early BW vids where necros still had most of skills actually working or performing comparatively to other classes.
Considering consistent nerfs we got in a “fix” wrapper… get used to it. Now you can’t generate lf as condition spec and can’t even break thief stuns :P Loving Anets necro love… What will they fix next! Mayhaps reduce bleed cap to 15? Or… reduce range on staff :P Im just dying to see whats going to happen next.
Last i bothered with WvW the only conditions i personally ignored were … ironicaly bleeds… 25 bleeds are so useless I never even saw the need to waste a cd to get rid of them or transfer them. Not sure what you all smoking.
I get random healed for more then 25 bleeds take off… 1 burn usually does more damage then a full stack of bleeds. What a joke.
Staff aoe lol. What is this magical aoe you all referring to? Measly poison with a dash of 400 dmg? Oh snap call the white house we got an aoe machinegun here. On side note… poison is probably the second condition you shouldn’t waste cd on.
And this is why every time i see a stoic defender I know he never played necro… or played it in some of the first bw builds.
You got two lifebars dude…. yeah good argument. Two bad second lifebar gets 2 shoted unless you spec into it. Too bad with the only ranged spec I can’t even get resource for it after killing 15 people… Too bad it locks all the important skills from my one and only ranged spec or any other and replaces with 2 almost useless and 2 semi worth while.
And this thought process goes the same exact way every time someone tries the “you have x its awesome use it”.
Our combos don’t cause life leech…
We have 1 spectral aoe… aka wall which is horrible.
4 darkness on wells. 1 light on well. and ummm 2 poison 1 for chillbains mark and 1 for terrible utility skill.
We have 1 underwater whirl finisher. bone minion/flesh wyrm blast finisher and staffs 3 blast finisher. and staffs 1 as projectile finisher.
Underwater finisher is umm… well you know… not very useful past 1 spvp map lol.
Minion blast finishers… good luck trying to manage that 1.
Mark blast finisher is pretty much the only 1 realiable finisher you have and you need an enemy to use it. So yeah…
Anyway darkness = blind, light = cleanse, poison = aoe weakness. ironically staffs 2 followed by 3 is pretty darn good for pvp. So i guess i could live with poison being terrible.
Back to topic… vampiric skills have horrible scaling. Like someone already said unless you have patience of a statue and tolerance of an angel… don’t bother.
Tanky caster idea went out of the window back in bw… sad considering we lost damage how many times now? But were never given anything in return. Now our conditions have the lowest durations… we have no burst damage that is even remotely comparable. Full might spec ds blast after bip and wall+focus vul and u still get misrable tops 5k hit for what? 1 – 2 shots then ds blast goes down fast…. and your left with dagger…. great… aside from the fact that necros are the only class with melee weapon that doesnt cleave. Melee attacks on other classes hit for more then we do with power build special abilities 2s on d/a for instance.
This class is not tanky at all considering we have no stun breaks that are on short or comparatively to other classes short cd. We got no stabilities what so ever. Our few protection applying abilities have longer cd with less duration and do not apply other effects unlike other classes….
Considering bleed is our 1 and only damaging condition past a joke of poison. And theres that nice cap of 25…. also the duration and traits for duration that dont even work. We end up with least damaging conditions. Or to be technical…. condition lol. Epidemic was good up until it lost its range… now if i make sure theres no magical bushes and rocks in a way to block and make me waste cd… target is too far away.
For gods sake I thought concept of not using skill if target is out of range/los was over a decade old… hell ultima used it… aparently not guild wars tho. And the list just keeps on rolling…. every aspect we are rock steady bottom of the barrel. Except for the amount of pets we can have out at once. Too bad they all die in 1 aoe. Why do we jagged horrors?
Mhm those are by far the lowest heals one can get. Guardian? Don’t even try… Elementalist? About mmm 2-3 times more heals. Engineer is still higher on heals.
Tanking? Oh god… if you were dead any more then you were in your “NECRO OP” videos i would guess its your first time playing GW2.
All in all… both in healing and tanking you were as far down the drain as I have seen w/o failing miserably.
Neither plague signet or wall or grasp are worth anything.
Signet despite what tooltip says doesn’t remove anything. Wall is… if you cant figure why its horrible skill then we got nothing to talk about. And grasp in pve serves no purpose.
I’m not really out to trash and flame you… but anytime someone shows up with wild grandious claims of necro being “OP” all i see is a bunch of yapping with no math to back it up.
As far as tanking and healing goes I could get more results with full MM spec. Why? While they die in 1 hit they still save you from that 1 hit. Spamming a short cd on staffs 2 would heal for same amount as you swapping around and exiting ds for 1 barely noticeable heal.
You brought nothing to that party in short. You can’t tank anything on necro if you die in 3 hits. Just because you aren’t getting hit doesn’t make you a “tank”. As far as healing goes its both barely noticeable and does nothing else past that.
A simple 3 sec protection on well spec would mitigate far more damage then 700 heal. Lets just take a light armored player for example 5-10k is usually what you get hit for if you do get hit. 33% of 10k is 3k damage chopped off. That would take a lot of ds exits. Also for istance blood well could be comboed for condition removal… hell in places with multi dot stacking on party well of power could be a paradise.
Was going to say your elite is horrible too… but meh we got terrible elites no matter what. Lich is power or gtfo… plague is pvp thief raging tool… and golem is pretty much dmg if lich or plague don’t work for you.
All in all fact is you brought the least to the party out of any class. You neither could provide any noticeable healing nor could you survive actually getting hit consistently.
Why are defending your argument with what someone else managed to do?…. You were told you either have no idea or your math is bad due to the fact that your numbers are pulled out from the clouds.
How about them jagged horrors lol.
Meh last time i bothered with lich and plague you could still get moaed in them.
Don’t go melee in wvw… you will get chewed to schreds. For spvp its a diff story. But not wvw.
As far as last 10 points if you are going dagger wells then get 3 sec protection on wells. Mitigates nicely on 100b wars and heart spam thiefs. Its much more protection then spectral armor with its long kitten cooldown.
Tho i do admit wells are great for combos and condition removal in wvw its just not fesable on melee necro you lack any means to survive the onslaught of mostly 20+ ppl hammering you.
Did you know… moa also dispels your lich form? and trashshroud err i mean DEATH shroud wait… that didn’t really make it sound any better. anyway… oh yes plague too. It even removes boons from you lol well not all of them as far as i remember but enough to make it funny.
