Did u all see the New Legendary Staff skin, with Crows flying above it as particle effects and the Crow sitting on its branch when stoved ? This SCREAMS Necro all over dosent it ?
Why Anet do u do this to a non-PvE player… this is a must haave Why ?

This blue tiny shiny throwing glowing thing doesn’t scream necro…
I was happy see the crows… but then i saw the blue wing thing… but no, i’m not interested in
Considering Ice is part of necro theme, I am going to go ahead and say you are wrong. The glowing blue represents ice and the crow represents death. So it works exceedingly well as a necro theme weapon. If you don’t like the weapon that is perfectly OK, but to say that it is not part of the necro theme indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the class lore.
Tl;dr
Crows + Glowing blue = death and Ice.
You’re right… but: i can’t recognise what it should be? A wing? I dunno… Help me with it.
If it’s gonna be kind of icy “whatever” i will agree with you completely and i will take my opinion away to it.
I guess we have to see this animation live… Maybe i’ll give it a chance

Hey guys,
I hardly ever post on the forums, but my excitement for the Revenant made me do it!Back in Guild Wars 1, Ritualist was by far my favorite profession. It was love at first sight when I first played the Factions public betas.
Now, with the BWE3 the same happened with Revenant. I love the profession.
I was wondering though, and perhaps suggesting, about the pose the rev uses when he or she carries the staff in a ‘battle pose’.
Why not update it to make it look like the battle pose of the Ritualist staff? It would fit, and add even more flavor to the profession. Same goes for the sword animations. Now it just sort of wacks it around, while the Ritualist had these special and deliberate attack animations on all weapons.
Also, will there be Ritualist-like armors for rev?
Thanks in advance and let us know what you think! Attached my old guild wars 1 Ritualist, perhaps show off yours?
I feel with you…

12 days and 15 letters left
Glad to hear you all can’t wait until launch, me too.
Please give the pre-orderererererers get it a few days before launch
I love my Revenant and need to kill zhaitan again and catch up with the story and get it to level 80 before HoT story Dx I need my Revvy
14 days left….
I’ll reroll but not because of OPness or something. He’s heavy, he’s dark, he’s magic – so it’s my class
I played necro for a long time, but he is only dark and magic :P (but will stay my 2nd main Reaper!)
I just want the awesome looking pants which makes it look like u have a cape
Arah heavy pants look “nearly the same” with that “cape”
Giving 2 aoe blinds to my condi build would be fantastic
,
However Mallyx has a dark field, Ventari had a light field, and Jalis has some kind of field with that road but I never use Jalis.
Don’t forget the firefield mace2
It’ll be acquired via a collection.
What do mean!
i thought we would get it with the revenant on the start
Dream on, dreamer
Agreed. What a mess. My favorite character for 3 years does pretty much nothing for me now…
What is this cruel joke?Hey ronpierce, you’re a ranger main too right?
I know why your favorite character for 3 yrs don’t help, because Druid is such a disappointment
No, no, no. I’m a necro main. Reaper is actually super fun, but that’s the problem. Both Reaper AND Revenant makes base Necro feel boring. But even then, Revenant is more fun than Reaper… :/
This is exactly my problem I have a Necromancer main I have played since launch, and the Reaper just makes it awesome. But I also love the Revenant. I honestly am having a terrible time deciding between the two as I really only have time to play one of them.
I am thinking Revenant since I don’t have any heavy classes leveled, and I can level armorsmith and weaponsmith for the achievements. But kitten … Reaper… soo good.
Common feelings here…
Reverend Revenant
You’re using my idea :C
I got this before i have read yours but i combined them to a well sounding name
Will the ranged damage still be there, even if it’ll no longer count as a “projectile”, or will it be completely removed?
I liked this yo-yo animation
Roy for president! I hope guardian sword will see similiar love tho. One question..Do you have any plans to change the animatins on sword auto? You know..the first hit at least as starting with stab feels out of place.
No plans right now.
Not yet!
lack of being able to receive heals.
If there are enough boons there will be heal
Necros are great at applying conditions. Anet has repeatedly said that necro is meant to bring conditions to the team.
is this a joke? Necro has access to a high VARIETY of condis, they are NOT great at applying them them though relative to other professions. Condi Warrior, Engie, Ranger, Rev beat Condi Necro.
Lol…
/15 charEngineer trolling? Or just never actually played necro?
I just find it amusing because he seems to imply that it is bad. Sure there might be better in terms of output but does that somehow make what necro has bad? really? we are going back to that type of argument? combat is a lot more complicated than damage vs damage comparisons. I was just saying You can have your condi damage and then slide in the occasional (x)k gravedigger. Wouldnt you say its a good thing there is so much damage in one attack that you dont need to worry about staying in melee for so long to do high direct damage.
If our entire class is boils down to using 1 skill to achieve high DPS then Anet has utterly failed our class.
A full condition build takes significantly more skill to execute over pressing 1 button over and over, yet it does significantly less dps, and offers no additional utility against the new defiant bar boss meta.
Well that is pretty much what everyone does for all classes to judge what they can do… o.m.g warrior can do x damage in x seconds.. well.. that’s only because of x skill.
Engi does x burn ticks… err mostly cos of x skill.
That’s why there is soo much down time between “big damage” cos they rely on one skill. Where as Reaper has more than one skill to hit big.
For example. RS (1*) 4 n 5 GS 2.
Then if you want to add other skills that leads to big hits we got RS (1**) 5 GS 3 n 4()= When including Burning via trait
(*) = When including Might via traitSaying we only have 1 skill for big hits and because of that it’s closed minded and pathetic when you don’t include how other professions play as well.
Well engineer has a 48 skill rotation, so yeah…
Warrior dps comes from rotating utilities, and using all of their attacks in addition to using their class skill asap, and for many builds swapping weapons as often as possible.
the class that comes closest is ele which can obtain ~80% of their dps using just 3 skills on staff, but their other high dps build (D/F or S/D or S/F) have 20+ skill rotations.
Reaper Shroud is very low dps (below even dagger auto) which is my point. That requires 3-4 skills and uses combo fields, but does bad dps again. Meanwhile SPAM GRAVEDIGGER is literally our best dps.
My condition reaper does Scepter 2-> dagger5-> CPC->BiP->Scepter 3->Dagger 4-> Swap to staff-> 2,3,4,5 -> RS-> RS5,4,3,2,1 -> RS1 until weapon swap off CD -> Staff 2,3-> Weapon swap -> Scepter 1
Yet this rotation does only 60% of the DPS as GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER GRAVEDIGGER
Does no one else see a problem with that?
I don’t see any problems… Gravedigger is a good one because anywhere the whole bunch of corpses have to stay, don’t they?
The more graves digged the cleaner the battelfield
. utilities to summon the spirits from gw1 EXECT SAME MODEL
No…. Summon the ghost of our own ritualist char from gw1 (accounts connected)
Compare with Staff 2 fireattunement of elementalist…
2handed rangeweapon vs 2handed rangeweapon. Could bei interesting
Dhuumfire and Reaper’s Might are indeed vastly better on Reaper than they are on base Necromancer. The reason is quite simple; RS1 has an attack speed of 2.3s/3 attacks = 0.77s/attack, while DS1 has an attack speed of 1.4s/attack. Numerically, a simple fix would be to cut the cast time+aftercast of DS1 in half (0.7s/attack) while halving the damage to maintain the current level of DPS (this might require some animation adjustment, which takes a bit more developer effort).
This would be more fun for DS too if you casting like a machinegun
Sounds funny
