Guild Wars 2

Oh look a black circle with red around it. Only well I use now is WoP and I love how people even move out of that.

You misunderstand what I said. I’m not sitting their auto attacking if my team is going to fight. I do it it when they let me go ahead of them and wait for the other team to focus me. kitten that kitten. Chances are I have one MAYBE 2 stunbreaks not counting the da minor. I’d much prefer it if a class that can handle getting focused stand on point while I use the 900 range weapon and the 1200 range weapon I have as a condi necro. I promise if my team can stop me from getting focused I’ll make it worthwhile.

Last I checked mesmers are the class utilizing AI the most.

Yeah I won’t go in either I’ll sit there and staff 2 and auto attack until my LF is completely full or my team decides they aren’t going to be sacrificing the necro today.

I don’t have a problem with mesmers by themselves, it’s when they have teammate they become burst damage monsters.

Something that bothers me in soloq is at the beginning of a game I’ll be running to mid on necro and I’ll notice my teammates slow down or something to let me go ahead….. then start yelling at me when instead of going right on point I range and build a little more lf (I do the minion trick too). These engis, guards, and warriors genuinely want me to go in first all the while knowing I’m just going to get focused and immob spammed if I’m not using wurm it’s not going to matter how many stunbreaks I have I’m going to die from a decently coordinated team

Or you could swap to staff and get the same damage.

Holl.3109:

An escape machanic would be cool… Maybe something from LOTR the ‘world’ Frodo goes to when he puts on the ring. Kind of like stealth but than ‘somewhat less stealthy’?

pretty much what i described……

We dont need an escape mechanic. We need something to take focus fire for a few seconds besides SA DS that is almost useless against a condition bomb.

Lutete.5379:

Sorry GoogleBrandon, but I’m not going back on my word. A little background info on me is that I got my B.S. in the natural sciences, so I am not going to back down on my idea until I am shown otherwise; furthermore, just because there are necromancers with more “experience” means nothing to me

^^
You listen to scientists that have been doing kitten longer right? Im sorry there is no GW2 weekly journal so we cant publish =(

You didn’t even know the difference between hotjoins and soloq. You posted an awful build rocking signet of the locust and we’ll of blood and then told someone to go eat a snickers. You then proceeded to tell us you managed to get a degree so you know what your talking about.

Roe just happens to be nice and slightly more tolerant than some of us. Bet he still knows most of us are right. And the negative comments you receive at the begging weren’t really meant to be negative. The build is so kittening awful alot of us literally thought you were trolling.

^^

You can carry on failhammer but only if the other team isn’t all engis, theives, and mesmers.

^^ give necros stealth. Hahahaha

Been in top 500 too, I only say it because it’s so kittening easy and im so awful the fact I did this kitten says alot about the people kittening that can’t even pull that off

?
-plz explain what you mean

Your suggestion was to give necros stealth that was not as stealthy…. so you want like a wavy shadow form thingy or legit stealth. The wavy shadow thing would only help against people with kitten rigs I think. Necros might need something but stealth is not it.

We just told you that you were wrong, you decided to throw insults.

Nope you can’t say that. You still haven’t done it. Scrub.

your win ratio is kaka.

Looks ok, I’d use plague over lich for zergs and change that condi sigil but other than that looks fine.

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s not all the time, but I’ve been downed from ds.

I think someone’s jimmies have been rustled.

I’m quite a bit higher on the leaderboards than you actually.

You’ve got like 10 games played in tpvp.

I think your post was intended for yourself maybe?

My mistake that vendetta with like 10 games played isn’t even so it’s possible that you have lots of tpvp games played and still have not broken out of the percentages…

Also I really wasn’t trying to be offensive towards you, we all have our own l2p issues mine happen to be against engineers and s/d theives. I know we are supposed to hard counter those celestial engis but I still get my kitten kicked by good ones.

You could try soloq and teamq. You still sometimes get 4v5s but it’s less common than hotjoins.

Spectral bunkers could be fixed or at least helped by making lifeblast cast faster and maybe making the projectile faster, something would have to be done about reapers might though.

Increasing zerker Necro DPS would have issues, LB already deals a significant amount of damage per cast.

Yeah I guess, I wouldn’t mind if they even nerfed the damage on it to bring it inline with the dps it has now, I just want to land the stupid attack on some of those classes that evade, block or just flat out run away.

Dear Devs,

Hi I’m paper. Please nerf scissors. Rock is fine.

But seriously D/d celestial eles with strength or pirate runes are very very strong so your either ignorant or you don’t want them to nerf your new toy that finally makes you feel relevant.

I’d rather fight a fearbot necro than a good celestial dd ele with a bird. I’d also rather fight the lich. I’d also rather fight a pistol whip theif. I don’t really like hambow but I feel like I have a better chance against a good hambow than a goo dd ele. DD Ele > turret engi and perma burn engi.

DD ele and s/d theives are the two strongest builds I run into these days.

10 seconds is a long long time. Better hope your teammate can recover from that, I know for a fact I’d be kittened if my teammate waited that long.

Sagat.3285:

Whoah……this…

1- Celestial is good not great and since hybrid builds can be made hybrid amulet have to exist and cover the loss of a specific purpose.
2- S/D is far from no weakpoint sure I never faced them with power builds but my conditions do fine. If you are also a zerker and you let him get the element of surprise you will lose
3-Not every class can have might stacking be realistic about the cap and support builds will be affected as well.
5-The sigils require both crit and power wich can leave you squishy using them with celestial is just smart not OP.
6-All classes can a way to"deal" with boons form war increase of damage per boon to sigils removing boons.
7-There are better and more important things to fix rather than nerf like making every style viable in the three modes.

Celestial is great not good. Celestial engis, warriors, eles with strength or pirate runes are very very good.

Sry that geomancy sigil on the first one should be another energy sigil.

Yes. /fifteencharacters

I love when I run into glass cannon necros, easy kill. They can’t get away, lifeblast cast so slow and so easy to dodge. If they are dagger just kite em, if they are axe just dodge or interrupt axe 2 gg.

Pelopidas.2140:

Nah man, necro doesnt have a high cap ceiling, its one of the easy classes to master. Also cheese builds like MM wreck noobs, and condi, especially terror builds, even with the dhuumfire nerf, still do crazy damage. Same with power necro, i find power necro very effective, cause soft cc+5k life blasts+condis(dhuumfire, DS#2+5)=easy wins. The problem necro faces is in high pvp tiers, where he cant escape the CC focus easily.. But if they don’t focus him, they will lose the teamfight…Cause necro is one of the best offensive supports, if not the best.
Supports himself through hp siphon..lf builds as he attacks…necro has very good access to protection…i can elaborate more if you want..

Team support: Blinds, chills, cripples, poison, boon corruption, weakness…You can also take traits like transfusion or use vamp signet…Try to make a build with Well of Corruption, Well of Power, CPC and plague and maybe you will understand abit how necro support works…and see it’s not ’’bad’’
I’ve also toyed with heal support builds and they weren’t very bad, you have to keep your mind on rotations and you can be effective.
And imo playing as a bunker is also an option if you focus on spectral skills/lf regen.

You don’t have a guardian, you don’t play with boons, you play with debuffs. Don’t play necro like a guardian or a thief, use its strengths instead of falling short with its weaknesses. Lemons=lemonade.

And your last point…the class produces to much dps through condis, thats why we got nerfed on Mark of Evasion, Mark of Blood, Grasping Dead (and terror but thats dhuumfires fault). There is no way we get more damage through conditions

If necro’s ceiling is so low why is there so few necro’s in high tier pvp?

Heal support builds for necro are kittening awful.

People don’t focus the necro because they are dangerous. They focus the necro because they are the easiest class to lock down and kill especially if you do it early before he has a chance to build any LF.

If your doing eotm cheese the crap out of it dire armor rabid trinkets 0/6/4/0/4 terrormancer and enjoy throwing people off. There is a couple spots where you can sort of hide and wait for the karma trains throw a spectral wall down and kill half the train.

Condi necro is our best in pvp. I think this may be a l2p issue man. Really the only weaknesses with condi necro in pvp is mobility and stability. Both of these problems are fixed by team coordination and “positioning” I really hate that kittening term though.

^^

Hit stomp then go into ds. Really only works when traited fitg.

If your going to try it I would not suggest dire and dolyak. soldiers, melandru, and lemongrass. I like to think of necros as pseudo frontline, if you have a good guild that knows to stay with the hammer train even if you break off it can work. Necros go in and out of the train depending on cooldowns.

Oh my kittening god. Do you read english? What I said isn’t that hard to understand troll.

What exactly is the hate on plague signet, I have very few problems landing it.

Use DS early and often, if you have a full ds bar after you’ve dropped all your marks and wells and plague you better be camping ds until your wells are back up. It’s better to lose your LF from the hammer train than your ho.

Gw2 pvp not taking the game mode into account is still better than most if not all the other games like it currently available. Have you ever played an MMO pvp game where it’s completely balanced…. I know I haven’t closest thing was UO.

And I feel like every person so far that has said we don’t need voice comms can’t even make it out if the percentages. I’m kittening awful and I did it.

Zhombify is a necro. Most necros that are competitive also play condi so golem or plague makes more sense.

Best build for roaming necro exists. 0/6/4/0/4 terrormancer dire armor rabid trinkets perplexity runes. Enjoy. Now the key is for your roaming buddies to stay with or near enough to you that they can get to you quickly.

Black, green or blue flames, some sort of aoe chill or blind and then a single target nuke of some sort.

Already voted, you’re literally the only necro so let’s go necro community unite!

My point was not that I was a better player, just that AI builds don’t rule. I’m sure you’re much prettier than I am =/ feel free to message me ingame if you still have a kitten though.

NeXeD.3042:

My head hurts. /15

You just need to decide what your doing, you don’t need ar for wvw. You need to either pick power, condi, or hybrid. As it stands right now you’ve managed to make one of the worst builds I think I’ve ever seen. If you changed all your armor to soldiers I think you would fare better. As you become more experienced slowly work in zerker, cavalier, valkyrie or even a little knights armor.

My head hurts. /15

^^

You also rarely if ever play teamq let alone against a good premade team using voice com so…..

Your specced for power, your using power weapons, you have agony resistance, and your using condi armor. Vewwwy vewwwy interesting.

Sigh….. I know they are not a one trick pony. Maybe in a duel vamp is ok but only if the person your playing has very little CC. Vamp in general sucks. If your looking for something with enough sustain and enough damage to work as a bunker necro try this
