Roflmao lololo hahahhaahhaloolol ahahahahahahahahahahahshahahshahahah ROFL lolololoololl
No.
How are the flames green??
try playing a necro to truly understand bugs, useless trait lines and utilities.
Thief is the best class for map completion. Yo or able to stealth commune and skip lots of mobs.
Even able to sneak into wvw keeps/towers when the other servers are fighting…. Easier said then done
As a thief, how would it make sense to have a 1200range weapon? Thiefs are meant to steal….. Do you see what I’m getting at????
Reaper precision not as bad as you think. Seen top necros use it in well bomb builds. A lot of crit ticks flying around with swarm/ wells/ and life sypthon.
Necros are one of the best dungeon classes there is.
l2p
A rabid necro might have the best overall dps out of any other class with epidemic .
Great survivability with 2000 toughness/ds/ high base health.
Decent support with constant rejen/signet of undeath/ WOB/ chill/cripple/ condition cleanse for allies.
high DPs/ great survivability/& decent support all in one. Yeah dungeon necros blow

Move out of refuge before the circle expires you will be exposed. Working as intended, its why people try to knock you out of shadow refuge in PvP.
I have seen people speed hack before. This looks like he’s hacking.
Yes this is a bug I have experienced with my thief many times and not my other tunes.
Dude where’s your staff!!? BTW I just posted that all in caps and got an infraction / msg delete because it was in caps. Feels like ww2 Germany in these forums.
Thanks for all the responses!!! But there is some conflicting answers =(
1. Some people swear by hs and others by sb. We need a thief race!
Well, when it comes down to it:
SB > HS in terms of speed (No needing to stand still for a second when starting a chain of IA’s)
HS > SB in terms of Init usage (Uses the same amount per movement but HS favours the slower regen of init that comes from passives such as the default regen + Regen trait + regen signet)
HS > SB when under speed enhancing effects (Swiftness, Signet of Shadows) as it increases the distance HS goes while reducing the effect of SB (By the time the arrow has flown there with the additional speed it actually moves you less than the max range)
SB > HS when NPC’s are nearby as HS will put you in combat if you hit one.
SB > HS if you have auto-target on as there’s definitive control over it.
SB > HS for burst movement (Can do all 1800 range possible with 12 init in 2 quick casts rather than needing the 4 HS)
SB > HS for direction changing (HS likes to just go forwards, while SB can be placed)
HS > SB if you’re not good at hitting the max range with ground locations abilities.
Great post, clears that up
I have been rick rolled by Obama far too many times good sir

Wvw view
4. Is there any other useful skillS besides c&d to use before stealth.
I think what he means here is how one would hit CnD then instantly hit steal to land the CnD right as they steal. Pistol whip would work also. Any skill that has a delay in casting would work depending on what you want to achieve.
That’s exactly what I meant by that question, that’s for clarifying for every one.
Because greater marks is a must.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down….
….
Wvw view
1. Which is the best gap closer for traveling? hs or sb? Hs would get you farther with the int. Cost right?
2. how to use a sb effectively(power/crib)? Vs single target do you spam 1 or do throw in a cb on CD for maximum dmg? When or if should I explode cluster bombs? Is the poison field worth the int? People really use #3 when they are so used to dodge? Any neat tricks/combos/tech you want to share.
3. can you cancel dagger storm?
4. Is there any other useful skillS besides c&d to use before stealth.
5.when you steal from a war, is it worth the risk to use the axes?
6. When using d/d what sigil do you put on your other dagger( assuming you have air/fire on the other)?
Thanks for any insight =)
fix it please black gate still bugged
black gate bugged
Bugged. blackgate
Is it true that flame does more single target damage then air? If this is true why is there a sigil of air? This a bug?
BTW on mobile, meant to say vs
Is it true that flame does more single target damage then air? If this is true why is there a sigil of air? This a bug?
Hmm that’s how I have always been doing it, didn’t know you were able to do that before. When I get home I’ll have to test this more, wasent working for me.
Thx for the info
^that is the only way to shroud stomp… You must be able talking about it wvw
You can no longer Shroudstomp in sPvP. This has taken away the Necromancers only safe way to stomp.
Even if this was a bug, for such a major change why would Anet not wait for a balance patch, and increase foot in the grave duration to make up for this?
Why would Anet prioritize this instead of…..I don’t know, Minion AI maybe?
This topic deserves a redpost.
Ninjas
Sb, always have a SB.
? a full zerk necro who lands his wells and hits can come close or even beat a glass thiefs burst. Although it takes 6 seconds, great use of cc, and all of your utillities, and your elite lol . if the have a stunbreaker with a tele you will fail hard.
L2p
Power necros have the worst damage out of all the classes? It hurt me to read any more, but I did. A great played necro (condition or power), can rival or completely dominate any class in a 1v1. Not to mention necros excel in team fights.
Necros don’t have great escape mechanics as intended.
This said, people need to learn about positioning, and learn when to pick there battles. I swear people don’t even try to understand this class at all.
Him didn’t know this. Why would fire Sig do more damage than air?
This trait is fine, its probally one of the better minor traits we have. Move along.
I have been playing d/d in wvw with 25/30/0/15 full zerk with good results but found my self dying to randow aoe/attacks and conditions. Today I was playing a s/d w w build(still zerk) with a 10/30/30/0 and threw on a mh dagger and was having more success than all my previous builds.
Is this a popular build in wvw for d/d, or just happened to find my type of play style?
You can run that weapon set build a variety of ways when it comes to traits, EXept you always go 30 curses/10 death magic. Greater marks is always taken with all staff builds. That build with the exception of the 10 blood is good for the zerg fights. For 1v1 I would go 0/30/10/10/20 grabbing greater marks, mark of evasion, and soul marks for the lf generation . need condition duration pizza with this build.
As for utilities bip and corrupt are good choices, and epidemic might be the best we have(except for 1v1s of course). In a 1v1 switch epidemic out for sw , plague signet, or something you need in your build

Thank you all for all this information, I have learned a lot about s/d in a small amount of time. Love when the forums actually work.
That post from naighel has sparked my curiosity.
Does paralyze signit stack with runes of messmer? I don’t see why the shouldnt. And if not wouldn’t runes of messmer be a better choice?
I want to know every thing about sword dagger. As a thief I have been playing d/d for a long time, but have been very interested in s/d. wvw mainly With a sb .
1. What combos are you aiming for with s/d? is it something like #2-#5-#1-#1-#1-#1??
2. Is there any time a s/d thief should use #3? Or is it better to leave this skill alone save in. for a different skill?
3. Is there a common cookie cutter build for s/d like there is for d/d? If so what is it?
4. Does increasing your stun duration through sigil of paralize increase your daze? If so is this something I should be aiming for?
5. Is there any neat tricks you guys have learned about this weapon set?
I get moah’d. O Lordy tell me they fixed this today…..
Any one use quickness sigil on your necro(scepter/d)? I’ve been having a lot of success with it( with a crit rate of 50% -70% fury, got my crit up to 96% for the sake of troll muhuahahhaha.)
When it procs i feel like it completely turns the tide of battle.
nov 15 patch, please give MM a chance
I can work around the bad AI,
But MOA COMPLETELY RUINS any chance of MM in SPVP
If this is working as intended I do not know what to say. Make it disable minion skills while in Moa, not put all your skills and elite on cool down.
I hope I really get a red response.
Should I wait for a patch, or never play MM in Spvp again?
Cept other classes can easily strip/corrupt that 30+ of retaliation and you’ve wasted 4 CD’s for that 30+ retaliation.
Also putrid mark is one of the best moves you’ve got and you’ve wasted it just for the combo finisher.
Well of Blood also is far weaker than consume conditions which is a full cleanse and is only better healing wise when you stack +healing. Additionally since you only have 10 in blood your CD for WoB is horrible.
You would be better to move the 10 from Spite into blood for the well reduction.
Except boon strips are saved for bunkers. Even if you do get stripped, dosent mean all your minions and allies will be also. You make it seem no matter what you will get boon stripped.
Consume conditions is probably the best heal in the game, I agree. But this is a minion retaliation build, bringing up consume conditions is pointless.
I usually do save putrid for when its needed. Its often needed when i use WoB.
Taking points away from spite or death magic is viable for the 8 sec cd, and is something i switch to often.
even with buggy ai
putrid mark, mark of evasion, and both bone minions + well of blood gives 30 sec+ of retaliation to you, allies, AND your minions. The amount of retaliation damage when some one is hitting you and all your minions is insane. Mixed with the following stats….
2240 power
2100 toughness
26,312 health
Don’t even have to move for thiefs/warr.
Perma AOE retaliation is very strong.

I have an account today that has had multiple log-in attempts from china. This account has a very unique log-in and password that I have NEVER used on any other site. I read everything that happened about hacked accounts on launch, so i decided to make this account absolutely fresh.
The ONLY people with my log-in information is Arena Net. My Account was compromised.
So red post, explain how this is possible,
