Fog Machines. Admittedly, this sounds odd, but I want a back item that doesn’t have a physical appearance. Instead, it creates a white/black mist around the entire character model. I’m picturing something similar to Liadri’s darkness cloak.
7) FLOATING ELEMENTALS/ SPIRITS/ FAIRIES
that will circulate around your character in a chaotic manner so that it doesn’t always look the same as that would be boring.
I think backitems must not be always something static, when they can be also animated things that move around your character…
I’d like more back items in this game, gw2 needs more variety with them. Here are some of my ideas…
1. Anton’s Swords(with upgraded design)
2. Gw2 needs capes like this, and a manlier one for guys.
3. Death wings/Angel wings
4. Edea floaty cape(a new version not ff8 rip off)
5. Ninja sash(could be shoulder or back gear)
More ideas added as i think of them!… Would love to hear other peoples ideas for back items. Or if you like any of mine.
If we wana upgrade our current exotics to ascended are we gunna have to buy 80 transmute stones to do this? I’ll be really dissapointed if we do. I’m happy with my exotic skins right now but i’d also like to have max gear.
if you want the skins do Fractals and hope you get them.
“Hope you get them” , this is what i have a problem with and i why i havent done fractal 48 for over a month. But like i said im over it. You guys can feel like special kittens with your rng weapons. Ill probably start doing fractal 48 again just to save relics for back items for alts. And if the stars align then mayb ill get the fractal weapon i want…or maybe not lol.
I would rather see them kept account bound unfortunately, they are one of the only sets in the game that show prestige :/ even though people may get lucky in 28s and get them, the chances of getting the one you want is still really low till you work your way to 48. Gives the people that love doing fractals some rewarding features \: Otherwise fractals will just become another money grind, and the prices of fractal weapons just gradually fall.
Even at 48 the chances are low of getting the weapon you want. The other option i would like is if they introduced a new token for fractal weapons so it would be like other dungeons(not rng). Spending 30-1 1/2 hours in a 48 fractal receiving less gold than regular dungeons and getting nothing is not fun :/. But i guess everyone must disagree since nobody posted agreeing with me yet lol. Time to let this one go…
when ascended weapons come out, make the fractal weapons ascended instead and keep the droprate as it currently is for the love of god keep them account bound.
why keep them account bound? When all other weapons r not..
because this is one of the few weapons you have to work for, that you can’t buy.
There is no “work hard for” in luck. What do you say to the person who got fractal greatsword on their first fractal 20. “You must have really worked hard for that”…….nah not at all lol.
Then theres people like me who could be doing 48’s and never get the weapons they want.
when ascended weapons come out, make the fractal weapons ascended instead and keep the droprate as it currently is for the love of god keep them account bound.
why keep them account bound? When all other weapons r not..
Will make all the people who haven’t been running FOTM very upset. I dont see it happening. Would love to see it but I’m not holding my breath.
Also Fractal weapon skins are the only skin left in the game that shows TRUE skill.. and not i farmed an easy COF P1.. 1000 times to get my Sunrise, Twilight greatsword
You didn’t put a reason why anyone would be upset by this change? There is no true skill in RNG. Someone can do a fractal 20 and get the weapon they wanted. You call this skilled?
Now that the previously account bound weapons can be sold on the tp it only makes sense to have fractal weapons be sold on the tp as well. I’ve been wanting a couple fractal weapons for a long time now but i dont want to spend day after day playing the rng(and i do fractal 48). I know there are people out there hoarding their fractal weapons waiting for the oppurtunity to sell them. I myself have a couple to sell! Plz make it happen.
I think another consideration is simply that ANet doesn’t seem to want a gameplay where the person does nothing directly themselves. I think 1-2 minions on an off-hand is fine, 1-2 minions on a supportive weapon where the minions aren’t so important as their actives are, is fine. But an entire weapon that is all minions and minion support just doesn’t fit with what they want I don’t think.
i agree, and i wouldnt want the weapon to be cheeseball ez/total gimmick. More like its up to you activate the key minion skills. You need to choose wisely wen to activate aoe immunity. or mayb a skill that removes conditions from your minions(i think this would help MM’s a lot). idk somehow they should def put more interactive play into a pure MM weapon.
I was looking at it form a pve perspective. And more based on keeping minions up and battling vs them getting oneshot over and over while you have very little control over it.(someone might come on here and say minions arent pets and supposed to die). But i wanted to look at different approach to them, more like ur team of summons vs disposable utility. From a pvp perspective i would say too many minions would b over the top. Especially with the current targeting system. But i wouldnt think that in pve, pve/pvp split mayb?
Getting way too deep into mechanics tho lol. Really i wanted to know what necros would think of a pure MM weapon?
After reading some of the ideas for torch i thought mayb a pure minion based weapon might b a fun. What would you necros think of having a weapon that summons additional minions, direct heals minions and mayb a skill that makes minions immune to aoe for a short time(acting like a dodge), a sacrificial skill to buff minions? I missed my old pure MM based build in gw1 so i would think this would kinda salvage it.
I beat spirit rangers on my nec with aoe. Damaging them along with killing spirits and they go down. I never really thought spirit rangers were that difficult to deal with. Really good thieves on the other hand….pain in kitten
The only kind of rng i hate is pure rng drops. Like fractal weapons or dragon weapons. While almost everything else is rng too you can at least buy them on the tp. But items you can only recieve through rng system and no possible other way feels like a slap in the face!
I would prefer the birthday presents be rng with many different ones as long as all the minis you can recieve can be purchased on tp!
ok well u took my point to another level. im not argueing about necromancers being op or not. I was pointing out the things that didnt make sense that people were complaining about, and in general i dont see that many necros. I did mention terror and dhuumfire had alrdy been nerfed but that is all.
Just scrolling through different hotjoin matches seeing very few necros. Most i saw in 1 match was 4 necros. Most had 1 necro and a couple had 0. I generally see the same stuff in tpvp. I wouldve taking screens but my video card only captures my saver. Its not straight up evidence but it makes me think otherwise. There are those very rare occasions where you will see a lot of one class. But that can happen with any class.
I am actually positive it is. After that it is spirit ranger
based on my matches in soloque, spvp and the couple time i watched pax i dont see that many necros. They are therebut but never the most in any match ive been in.
funny guy, I don’t got space for 3 stun breaks AND 3 condi removal, and anyone who denies that necro’s and rangers aren’t the most played class in pvp is just plain stupid. And ok they cannot throw all conditions in 2 skills, just like 9 condi’s with long durations.. and spectre wall isn’t that easily avoidable too. They could also make mesmer phantasms hit double, then all you abandon ur necro’s to abuse phantasms, most morons here copy paste meta op builds anyway.
I’ve always played necro since launch, im not switchign classes even if they are further nerfed. Funny guy you exaggerate once again, 1 stunbreak to get rid of 6 fear. A good necro will not giv you 6 second fear anyway. Spreading them out and saving one to interrupt important skills is much more useful. Id love to see some stats on the most played class in pvp, im positive its not necro.
I laugh at anyone’s face who thinks necro’s are balanced, you’re just a bunch of lazy idiots. Nothing is balanced about 6 seconds fear + all conditions applied in 2 skills. There is no way to respond to that except by letting every other class invest in massive condition removal. It has become a lazy kittenclass, not needing any skills to win. Why else are 80% of the players necro’s or rangers in tpvp? Nerf fear or throw burning out of the traits. Pvp is just not fun anymore with these stupid balancing issues all the time.
Who ridiculously exaggerate everything about necros. Some things to point out.
necros cant perma fear.
*necros cannot apply all conditions in 2 skills unless you are a boon kitten. even then its not likely
not everyone plays necro and ranger. you and many on the forums completely overblow that.
*terror and burning have alrdy been nerfed. how much more nerfing does it need?
if someone hits you with 6 seconds fear. Necro just blew both their fears to do that. Use a stunbreak and u wont have to worry about 6 sec fear again.
I beat liadri on my condition necro. I felt like many of the posters here for awhile, like necs were kitten in this fight(with no vigor they r a little). but once you learn liadri’s patterns she does the same things everytime. You just need to learn where her aoe drops so you can move to the next safe spot. Took me over 50 tries to learn this tho…
Couldnt get into hotw today. Had a full party and everyone was able to get in except me. The party UI bugged wen getting the last 2 party members and was only showing 3. Then i left party and rejoined and it showed the other members. They all entered the dungeon and popup came up for me but when i clicked it i wasn’t brought inside, i just stayed in frostgorge. I went up to the instance and entered myself and i was brought inside in my own instance instead of with my party. Tried relogging again, Leaving and rejoining party. But it didnt work so i ended up leaving =/
Everyone keeps saying there are sooooo many necros now. Everytime i join spvp necro has never been the most in the match. I think the most ive ever seen was 4 necros in 1 match and there were 5-6 warriors in that same match.
Jport, I saw that u play mesmer. While i rarely play mes in pvp since im always necro. After fighting them a lot their r are quite a few ways for them to avoid conditions, at least thats what i see. Invuln, stealth, kitten play(like hiding behind walls while phantasms are attacking), their mobility can be used to avoid conditions(cant stack conditions on what u cant hit), you can stand in null field for 5 seconds to be free for u and your team against any condition build(thats a long time considering they hav to restack for the damage) and i know mesmers hav other ways to remove(arcane theivery?). hmm pretty much the same way you avoid power based damage aside from straight up removal. And condition application should be stonger than removal otherwise conditions would be weak., they will just be hard countered by all the removal.
Necros have always been able to kill bunkers, the buff probably boosted the speed at which they could do it but they could always do it and they will still be able to do it even after the full nerf.
U can’t since u are nr1 target and u know what focus fire does to u.
They are focused because they are dangerous.
Its one of necros weakness. They are focused cuz we hav no invuln, blocks, vigor, evades, stealth and very little stability. With the bug fix to shroud we can at least tank a little more tho.but dangerous counts too!
with all the crying i knew this change would happen. Im not disgusted cuz i do think we were strong, still had weaknesses so i wont say OP. Now i think we will be balanced, about go do some pvp and see. Hopefully since we got both dhuumfire and terror nerfed people will stop complaining and leave necros alone lol(never want to be called fotm again for killing someone, i played nec since launch and only now are people calling me that).
hmm if they are adding all these new fractals i hope they are short and not ridiculously long like dredge fractal. Also, they need to give other uses for pristine relics and mist essence. They are just piling up in my storage with no use =/
Just wanted to give appreciation for this update! Four winds city was really kool to explore and the new minigame is very fun imo. I like how you guys added fortune scraps to b able to get what you want if rng doesnt favor u for the immediate item(although i just bought my wind catcher i wanted). Its better then dragon bash rng tickets. You gave some use to the lower tier crafting materials(for those master crafters out there) which is nice. While their are some grindy achievements i got away with getting quartz node without grinding at all.(thnx to kites and sprint minigame being fun). My only complaint would be i wish their was more content to unlok stuff as i hav alrdy got everything this update has to offer. BUT TY! i hope more updates r like this in the future!
I like the new map. It’s very different from all the other maps, which is a breath of fresh air as the other maps were getting old. I have been cced off and cced other people off too, its pretty funny. But ive also had plenty of normal fights where neither were cced off.
+1 kryshade, i agree. I personally like the build though. Being a killer necro instead of attrition is awesome. Since i’ve been playing it i see it has weaknesses though. Getting focused you are pretty much doomed. And against builds with a ton of cc is difficult to beat cuz of necros stunbreakers.
Just gotta jump in here and +1 this. You guys are a PITA now, and that’s as it should be IMO. Before, I’m sorry to say, Necros were totally UP in WvW. Now they’re competitive. Very happy for you guys.
Imagine, a class that actually IMPROVED with a patch! GASP!!!! ;-)
Allow me to fear you into a corner for 10 seconds, while stacking conditions. STABILITY?! lulz, eat Spinal Shivers and continue to be feared to death. GG.
Add weakness stacking and you can go glass cannon. Necromancers are broken, simple as that.
exaggerating a little much? we only hav 3 fears. 1 of them being the wall which the enemy has to walk through(not reliable). im pretty positive all 3 of them combined could not last even close to 10 secs even with duration buffed to max. If they did just stunbreak and problem solved lol. u hav 20 and 40 secs now before the 2 fears recharge.
The necromancer got what it was told it would – we are great fighters who have nice survival tools (DS sustain, CC, etc), but have to stay in the “pocket”. We do not have the mobility of other classes and can not disengage at will, but in a straigth up fight, we are really strong.
This this this^ at first i thought we might be OP but we lack escape tools and dont hav the best mobility. A theif can escape a fight or a 2v1. Necro cannot, we need to be somewhat powerful to make up for that imo. And the patch put us in that right place.
They are not awful, 20 + stacks of aoe bleeds with long durations, plus all the chills and cripple for team support and now with the addition of torment and dhuumfire(if u choose to take it) is really strong. Although i wouldnt go full condition build. Adding in some power is better imo. The only issue with conditions is the caps on them.
27 rich coffers and 1000+ regular and no tickets. Ill never touch an rng box again. Im also really dissapointed that the 2 weaps i really want (fractal greatsword and dragon staff) are both rng. If im not gunna get the things i want cuz of bad luk and not being able to EARN rewards. I’ll have to quit this game =/
Since the grid was not present in the trailer, i spent a lot of gold to buy cuz i was hoping the grid lines were only in the preview. Between the crazy flapping of the wings and the grid lines on them i cant help but feel i wasted my money. I probably wont b wearing them. Here was my attempt to make them look awesome.
Notice how the grid lines totally kill the look =/
The grid was present in the trailer. I do wish it would flap a little slower though.
I’ll have to say I kind of agree, HOWEVER, they’re holograms, I get why they did it, and could see how someone could like it. I’m out for the shattered wings, anyways.
Im gunna try out the shattered wings too and see if they look good. But im afraid they will be too pretty and not necrolike. another thing to poitn out is im pretty sure none of the holograms in this event have grid lines. So why do the wings randomly hav them ? >.<

Yea i bought 25 and really wish i could take it bak to trade the gems i bought for gold. Got no ticket or anything interesting at all. If i woulda traded for gems i wouldve had like 60g >.<
for the love of god keep them account bound.
