Guild Wars 2

Ah really! You can work around it honestly tho really lame

Sorry but honestly have no clue what the nerf is haven’t been able to find it thanks guy

This will totally wreck my pvp necro I heavily rely on consume conditions to actually do anything considering its the ONLY GOOD HEAL SHEESH

^ Fantastic for the clarification thank you

Currently what I understand from elite specs is that it will follow the new specialization system where you have to use points to unlock the specializations and the new elite specialization. For the new class effects those are being unlocked in the new trait lines how will the new skills and weapon be unlocked still in this new specialization system replacing the trait system. SECONDLY are we going to be able to use the new weapons and utilities without using the new trait lines?

So each time so far the concept art has given us a little hint to certain skills in the new elite specs, so after studding the concept art for necro it seems as if it’s creating a spiritual version of the gs spinning. So what I was thinking is what if Deathshroud will be able to create sorta aoe burst traps similar to wells fuelled by ds. What are some other ideas?

do necros have a place now?

and still to early to tell if chronomancer will have a place outside of wvw groups

What I’m trying to get at is are the devs aiming to improve what classes are currently good at rather then fixing weaknesses.
Necros are only decent currently in pve however being great in pvp and wvw

Currently necros are not a totally special class for pve, providing not a lot for parties and being only a decent addition. Don’t get me wrong I’m very happy with the angle they’ve put on the mesmer once again making it a great addition to parties however what I’m trying to get at is, are the devs looking into more what a class is good at and continuing to expand that greatness. If so will necros loose a place a pve and only improve in pvp and wvw

I recently found after simply typing gw2 in the search engine and a sponsored site showed up clamming to be selling gw2 HOT I doubted it cause anet has released no information on this. So Im warning you all just in case.
The site is [redacted] and here’s a link if your really curious to check it for your self.
[mod edit: link removed]

YES YOU HAVE JOINED THE MASTER RACE OF NECROS, btw race doesn’t effect class play unless for racial skills. Run a minion build till about lvl60 if your just roaming the world the. Afterwards find a powermancer of hybrid build and that should play great but find what ever build best suits your needs

I totally agree with at least adding the length of time footsteps appear for, something that was taken away which I and many others would like back is the nighttime effect of the Howler
Here’s a link to a thread with the same discussion

I hope crafting the precursors are a grind and not something that can be completed in a matter of hours.

I hope that crafting the precursors isn’t a grind deliberately designed to make the player give up, grind gold, and buy off the TP (which is exactly what I suspect it will be).

Well the next gen legendarys you wont be able to purchase off tp so hopefully they’ll be extra legendary, the concept in the hole sounds fun tho

Well Im quite happy today for the fact that they released information on the new legendary crafting don’t get me wrong sounds like an awesome idea, only thing Im bummed about is that they said there gonna update previous precursor skins and not the legendarys, it seems like there would be no point if the new precursor for howler looks like the howler to make the howler. I made howler originally for the night time effect, I loved it cause you could have a non over the top legendary when you were just cruising the world but would look awesome for stuff like dungeons, who knows maybe they’ll actually update the legendarys there is always hope…

YES, Im so happy to see all this finally posted, could also mean that the xpac is sooner then we all think only thing im a little disappointed, is that nothing was said about refining all previous legendarys to a final format

Kruhljak.2705:

I doubt skins have much effect on the virtual economy as a whole.

I beg a differ the hole economy of the game is based on skins and bling. Sure the individual skin doesn’t have a major primary effect however as it being a gold sink it drives people to build up gold and use the economy

The only one that’s been loosely comifmed which in mind could change at any moment was the raven staff data mined a while back

DarkWasp.7291:

Why were we on the 5th page? Our howling must be heard on the 1st page!

Well sadly our cries have already been seen by anet but not dramatically enough to bring of a response but we will keep trying OUR DISCUSSION WILL BE HEARD FOR NARNIA

I’m happy to see how long this post has weathered on for and the more people that take notice to this will hopefully obligate anet to give some sorta of response. i could however understand why they would not tell us that they have no plan on fixing that, and that is because it could then fluctuate the market a little for howler but I guess we’ll see

I just heard a player in Rata Sum with some horn that sounded like a lion’s roar. Honestly? His sounded more legendary than mine (Howler, if you hadn’t guessed).

Ikr and the super warhorn sounds super legendary and unique ;(

Even the Crimson Lion Warhorn sounds more legendary

:( ya really sucks

Fletch.3572:

I’m just glad my howler has no awful foot glops, main reason i chose to get it.

The two things I most would like to see fixed is the fact the night time effect was removed as well as the howling sound effect is no longer legendary

Well works for my necro

I really hope tomorrow’s blogpost will end up talking about legendary’s if not will be a little bummed

Orion Templar.4589:

It takes a lot to create a Legendary. Howler was my first Legendary and indeed it took me quite a long time to gain world completion, save up the T6 mats, etc. I’m not complaining about that, since earning a Legendary should be a long process that is rewarding when it is completed. But that being said, I must admit that Howler is a bit underwhelming, especially compared to some of the other Legendaries.

To those reading this who have the power to help make changes in this area, please consider making Howler a bit more Legendary. The footprints need to be more distinctive and last a bit longer, the mist effect around the player needs to be more persistent and not disappear at odd times, and any other ideas you may have.

Totally agree….

So after watching the fight preview today of the new wvw map I saw a lich with a staff, also it had a unique die animation not present in current death of lich form. That then got me thinking that the point of the new specialization for necors is that you feed your death shroud to a powerful ally such as your lich. Idk any thoughts

crawlerxp.1536:

I know the looping was a bug, but I thought the other visuals were intentional, given the wolf-full moon-night time motif.

Actually the original design was completely intentional even the howling however many people were complaining about how long the howl was but now you can’t even notice it ;(

It’s to bad that even after almost two and a half weeks still haven’t gotten a reply but I will not loose hope lol

Something that’s to bad about the recent HOT interviews is that no won asked about legendary’ figures tho more important things to ask about

Exeon.4358:

There is no reason to leave this broken, I think we’ll see big changes once they announce the actual legendary changes, but still, till then i feel like we need to keep this thread going

Agreed. I really want this warhorn for myself and my husband wants his fixed. Why haven’t they said anything one way or the other regarding why this has been broken since last April (2014)…

Yup way to long…

Guessing their gonna be all equally fixed in hot

^^ We might only dream

BassHunteR.7246:

now i trully belive they don’t give a kitten about us…
i received infractions on forum… and posts i did were deleted..
that means they came into the topics and read it..cause if they knew i was bumping the thread and knew which posts to delete..they read them…and still…
they didn’t care enough to give us a reply or anything at all..
so that is a clear sign that they dont care about us…

To be honest I don’t think that anymore, I’m glad they have at least seen the post little ticked that they deleted your comments but I’m guessing has to do with user policies. However I seriously believe that the reason they are holding off on us cause I’m thinking it’s going to be either this weeks or next weeks blogpost on legendary’s and if they were to tell us now could wreck the blog post a little. If this is not the case I feel disrespected as a player to be viewed read threw and ignored, I sincerely believe this to not be the case….

CutePicsHunter.7430:

Three weeks passed. Do you still think anet cares about something that is not gemstore updates and their paid expansion?

I believe they must, legendarys are one of the driving points of the economy in game, I believe now that they are holding off on us to when they release a blog post on the new legendarys and say possible final fixes for first gen

I would personally play necro for pvp, quite fun and pretty easy to dominate. Also for sw I find my necro to be awesome

^^ I would even be up for getting rid of the aura on it to have some cooler footfalls such as wolf paws that really show off or that moon, the footfalls for me would come second of them needing to fix the moon effect on it

Well hopefully our next big blogpost will talk about upcoming and future fixes of legendarys, that is maybe why devs our holding out on topics like this?

Warhorn, fits the theme with calling on the mists don’t you think?

I’m very happy to see how many other people care so much for this legend and want a fix, a reason why they may not be telling us anything is because for say it is in fact in. Rey low priority this could end up fluctuating the mark a little for the howler hopefully this is not the case and we’ll hear something positive soon

I rock a necro with no shame
Once got a group of people to all use tonics mostly dolyaks while and run threw triple trouble ‘’probably no hope anyways’’

Saved the name SHLAB so im set to make an asura

Zeitgiest.6384:

Very sorry to hear about this. I was actually thinking of making The Howler as my next legendary. May have to hold off for now. Thank you for bringing this to everyone’s attention.

Very sorry to hear that this caused you to no longer think of making the howler it still is a great legendary and if fixed one of my favorite good luck to what ever legend you choose next

WEE NECROS WILL RULE YOU ONE DAY MWAHAHAH

WILL NECROS GET SOME LOVE TO A FORMIDABLE FORCE AND IS THE GREAT SWORD COOL THANK YOU

I heard all they would is grant an experience point

BassHunteR.7246:

i didn’t hear any bug in a while on other legendaries..last one i have heard was hotfixed in incinerator. lasted for 3-5 days or something..
I really don’t understand why so much hate for the howler

Ikr maybe we’ll get a nice present with hot hopefully…

Just hoping the next warhorn legend will look cool and saying that I believe the old legends need to have one final look at and that they all work so they still stand out…

What if in the new story we’ll be getting with HOT, one of goals would be to summon back many of the deceased pack as revenants and team up to fight mordi. Something else I was thinking is that, they have shown the image of the revenant (rytlock) summoning a spiritual dragon that resembles glint, what if then all those pact members wee bring back end up channeling Glint herself for a brief time to help fight modremoth…

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

Good luck getting any dev attention on this one guys. I’ve made over half a dozen threads about fixing/improving Howler and I have never seen a red post in any of mine nor anyone else’s. There are literally hundreds of posts about this that have never been answered.

I’m not kidding. A simple google search turns up nearly 500 posts.

The thing that bugs me is that, this post has gotten some views (2700 now) and has quite a few comments, but the devs purposefully choose not to look into it or at least tell us whats going on, if that’s the case and howler may one day be fixed but maybe not for a VERY long time….

After watching the POI and reading on the revenant it seems as if it will be able to control conditions better then a necro and have more options then a necro so sadly may have to tuck my poor little asura away for a real big gun the revenant
