SlippyCheeze.5483:

Don’t I recall them also saying that axe being “at range, but not a ranged weapon” in the sense that it doesn’t get blocked by projectile things, etc, was kind of regrettable from their pov?

so is scepter on ele and its currently meta, so argument invalid

different classes, so argument invalid =(

you wouldnt get enough stealth to reliably skip anything you couldnt outrun anyway

maybe you wouldn’t, but i would. i can execute 4 stealth combos on necro, each gives 3 seconds of stealth

oh you are totally right im to s-s-s-toopid to figure out rs2,wurm, BMs.

you wouldnt get enough stealth to reliably skip anything you couldnt outrun anyway

Lahmia.2193:

Sublimatio.6981:

no, you can blast/leap for stealth out of combat or during combat whirl for blinding bolts

Seems like a cheap excuse to shoehorn stealth on necro though.

why would you use an elite well out of combat for a few seconds of stealth?

Sublimatio.6981:

NeXeD.3042:

i get people want a smoke field on a necro but whats the point? You really cant combo it for stealth

you’re incorrect

so this well would do damage while letting you be in stealth? So if the well ticks damage you still stay stealthed?

i get people want a smoke field on a necro but whats the point? You really cant combo it for stealth

Elite well that combines both WoP and WoC
Call it Well of Get off My kittening Point

im not sure if you are just trolling or you actually think you are making helpful suggestions

all we really need is one teency tiny invuln period that is insta cast. i dont care if its only for half a second ill take it.

Pretty sure that’s what dodges are.

Lower the cd to 2 seconds and increase the range to 3000.Personally:I think it should punish enemies who spam stuff on you such as bleeds and ccs.

Either that, or melee cc needs to be nerfed.

I WANT WHATEVER YOU ARE ON

I feel like something has to be done to make necros survive longer.I feel like between consume conditions cd i need more survivability vs ccs and hopefully some way to escape better.I feel like wurm helps sometimes but it on a cd and i personally feel like while necro is a team player, i would like to survive and possibly win due to outplaying my opponent rather than losing due to 1:Enemy having better mechanics and 2:losing because my classes mechanics are lacking.I understand i’m not the best necro ever, i am working on getting better, but after like 2 months, i realize there comes a point even after switching abilities that there is only so much you can do to keep off warriors with invincibility and rangers with root snare and knockback.

Others on the forum have asked for improvements of mechanics for necro such as more lifetap more this more that.I would be perfectly fine in trading some damage for more cc and even better survivability.

Another idea would be to implement a pvp ability of shield bursting.I just thought of hte idea from wow where some abilities can deal little damage but some dmg through shields to make you not completely god mode, even if its something like 30% less damage but pierce immunity shield of warriors and all.Or boon corrupt having the ability to turn your immunity shield into a damage shield where you take more dmg instead.

If you have any positive improvements then list them here so then maybe the designers can have some ideas to improve necros functionality in pvp.

On second thought:20 seconds not 2 seconds.2 seconds is too spammy

the 2 seconds was what i was referring too.

because we train them up and then right after the training is finished they go and get preggers

Maul -> Tiger F2 = 10k damage. Did it myself. Hit a 14k with Hilt Bash -> Maul -> Tiger F2. I wouldn’t be worried too much tho, expect lots of damage when you get hit by Hilt Bash or Maul. Only very good rangers can pull it off, if you are a squishy class, outrange them when they have greatsword up.
Works wonders until people catch up.

Never really played ranger and I was doing it the other day with quickness pet swap and quickness sigil it’s quite easy

Avigrus.2871:

How about an elite well & signet.

an elite well that combines WoC and WoP(minus the stunbreak) would be amazing.

Elite signet no life force degen activate =100% shroud

Axl.8924:

Does anyone else here think that it kinda sucks that we have to have someone bodyguard us?

i play necro solo q and managed to hit plat 3 using gs wells diviner build. My theory is i refuse to be left alone. IF everyone leaves a point i dont care how much people kitten at me to stay i follow at least one person. I do end up having to 1v1 but ive played long enough now to know if i can win or not before the fight even happens.

wow reapers stack bleed like crazy now. I took a short burst from an enemy reaper on my dragon hunter and in a few seconds, he stacked around 27 stacks of bleed on me with many covering condis =/
I still cleared it with a single wings of resolve though and proceeded to kite and burst and own him.
I’m just amazed reapers can dish out so much bleed stacks now.

Im a little confused because there is nothing different about reapers in pvp. There was no condi buff. Most likely it was just a shout condi reaper using reaper runes staff gs

Deathly chill now applies 3 stacks of bleed per chill in pve and wvw.

Sweeet thank you for telling me that! Now if only i didnt specifically say PvP your comment would be relevant! Thank You come again.

But it’s comment was relevant… it’s you that specifically assumed that it was about pvp while this buff apply to wvw where there are instance of fight between players. Eremitangel never specified PvP… thus maybe it’s your comment that is not relevant.

I specified pvp he responded to me not angel.

and yes i know angel is probably talking about wvw.

I did respond to you. If you read your comment, you say you’re confused because you saw no changes for reaper in pvp. To which I responded by saying that it is only for pve and wvw. If that is not the response you were expecting, try reading your post to yourself before you hit the button.

ill hit your button

Why little toaster?

he called you brave it was a reference to an old cartoon movie “The Brave Little Toaster”

Wargameur.6950:

On Necro I always uses #3 then #4 on staff since the #4 is a blast and combo with poison field for AOE weakness….That’s one more condi for additionnal stacks of torments from scepter #2.

same for reaper shroud, you can leap with #2 in the frost zone of #5, do you think a frost aura is that irrelevant to you ? Same for the whirl in that zone + grandmaster condi trait for more bleed stacks. To me reaper shroud is one of the skill set with the most synergy for combos….

To not know how to play them is fine, to say that they are weak is false….

you should get out o the habit of dropping 4 after 3.

Sublimatio.6981:

thank you for sharing your story you’re so brave

they should call him the “little toaster”

They aren’t all balanced separately SOME skills are balanced separately.

I didnt say you are coming of as elitist im not even sure what to call what your coming off as……

I said you are calling people elitists everytime they have a differing opinion.

You seem to RESPECT your own opinion but not those who you consider ELITIST.

also never said you cant have an opinion, i am simply stating that the opinion of someone who plays all game modes should be valued over those who only play one.

im not the one calling everyone elitists everytime they have a differing opinion. Playing one mode means you only have that mode to consider when considering balance. While someone who plays all modes would consider all modes when considering balance….. IT is also possible that even though the person plays all game modes they still may have more hours on each game mode than somoene who specifically plays one.

And you’re here why, then?

my trailer got raided.

No its not being elitist, i dont understand why you and some other PVE players always call someone elitist when they say pvp and wvw must be considered during balancing…..

My logic is that you should be familiar with all game modes if you want to make balance suggestions are you telling me that is false? And only being familiar with PVE is sufficient?

Someone who plays all game modes opinion should be valued higher than someone who only plays one. Its one of the reasons why i typically dont contribute to balance discussions as i strictly play PvP. Since i barely play the other game modes by opinion on balance matters very little. Difference between you and i is i dont think im a snowflake.

PvP balance is fine as long as you don’t play a necro.

Necro really isn’t as bad as everyone is making it seem. I have a feeling its going to have a place this season once the builds settle down.

Trying to solo queue on one is still cancer though. It’s not so much a viability issue as it is a “this really sucks to play as”

I guess…. i only play one on solo q and i usually do ok

Adolfas.2180:

Bad build, bad enemies, bad kiting/positioning, terrible dodging…

I recommend you to wait for ranked season, climb up to platinum, play meta/optimal build, improve your kiting (rather implement it to your gameplay cuz theres 0 kiting atm) and then make such videos.

my favorite part is in the description he is basically making videos because he thinks people will just give him free stuff

Okami.7049:

I don’t think simply buffing classes is going to be enough, some classes need completely updated Traits/Skills and even (for example) Profession Abilities such as Necro’s Shroud. That’s a lot more work, I’d assume, than just increasing some numbers. Not just talking about Necro here either, Revenant (for example) is the worst class in my opinion thanks to it being clunky, unfinished and the fact that everything it can do, every other class can do better.

lol why do you as you ignore any other game mode than pve think you qualify for statements regarding class efficiency ? You have no clue about pvp, you have no clue about wvw so please do people a favor and first gain experience, afterwards you can write balancing novels.

Yet here you are, wanting to cater to PvP in whatever form only, newsflash master of tears, it’s not you who decides what qualifies as class efficiency. U mad broh?

where did he said he wants it catered ONLY to pvp? He merely pointed out the flaw in someone’s logic due to the fact the person he is referring to only has PVE experience. I believe he is right in suggesting the person needs experience in other game modes before posting novels about balance.

double dodging nothing not dodging dmg skills……using e gun 4 without and then 5…. The people you fought were terrible they 2v1 and they couldnt even stick on you with a mes and war…..

As an Engineer, I use combos all the time. In fact, I rely on them. And this change is actually a little buff to my Elixir Gun, which happens to have a light field and blast finisher, so I’m happy.

As an expert at combos, I would like to ask you (or another engineer) how easy would you say it is to use a combo while moving, and could a group of 10 people coordinate blasting a field while moving (called on teamspeak)?

not an engi player per say…. but yeah its absolutely possible…. wvw and gvg do it all the time

was messsing around with some gs ranger stuff earlier today… there is some very interesting dmg combos that combined with wep swap quickness sigil and quickness on pet swap…. has a stun in it… and if your quick enough you can do it all almost instantly

Anyone getting hit by maul deserves whatever happens. That’s the single most telegraphed skill in the entire game.

The player who did that maul is named “Harsh Master”. I know her and she’s infamous for her instaganks. She has Siamon(misspelled probably) pet + all damage buffs you can think of then spams smoke field with celestial avatar skill #3, warhorn #5, and the leaps in her sword and greatsword. It is impossible to tell when she is going to attack with 15 seconds of stealth… I have screenshots of her hitting me for 25k-30k.

Not only that all she does is run run run and starts complaining if more than one person attacks her. Also if that is the build i can confirm it is a valk build.

Its one of the most annoying builds ive ever fought and shes not really looking for a fight. Runs runs runs runs stealths attacks run run run run stealth attack run run run run stealth attack doesnt care about holding the point at all.

It’s a Valk build I think

This game has no prestigious end game pvp,without proleague there is no incentive to get better at this game whatsoever.You don’t need 200,000 dollar tournaments.You need frequent weekly tournaments where teams are given a platform to compete and grow.

The end of proleague will mean the end of gw2 pvp

Nah, once again you guys really underestimate the value of the PvEers. GW2’s PvP will live on far after Pro League dies. GW2 will also live on far ever PvP even dies. PvPers do not come close to paying as much of the bills for ANet as PvEers do.

PvPers and WvWers in GW2 are like a grain of sand in the vast desert.

probably why he specifically says GW2 PvP and not Gw2 in general…..

You think pvpers arent aware we are a smaller part of the population? We are well aware there are more people who like to sit in a corner and press 1 for pixels.

Key logger is a very simple program that just records what keys you press. It would help to have a video of the key logger and the game up to make sure you are really only hitting the key once.

And I do actually have an orbweaver bought it a while ago thinking it would be great for this game but for some reason I can’t get used to it. But my keyboard is also mech corsair k95

weakening shroud does not strip boons,

Are you sure?
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Enfeebling_Blood

That is what’s cast when you enter shroud.

lol welp im wrong i guess, never remember this change going in

weakening shroud does not strip boons, its difficult to hit rs 2’s corrupt. And honestly not every rs 2 you use is going to be for a corrupt or even damage… i end up saving that alot just to kite a bit. Cod is 3 boons removed on a lengthy cooldown.

So really the only reliable boonstrip that build has is spiteful spirit and dagger 3.

that being said ive used something sort of similiar, just never thought to use that ammy usually going for damage

my keyboard is mechanical as well still unable to recreate bug, and thats speaking matter of factly from my rear end. It would really help if anyone saying this bug exists could please make a video of the bug while using a key logger. It would help to see exactly whats going on with the key logger vs whats happening on screen.

update i even have an orbweaver tried doing it with that too still cant get it to pop me out without the key logger showing me hit it twice.
