Guild Wars 2

Survivability?
-Extremely limited access to vigor, stability, and blind
-Absolutely NO access to any evades, blocks, reflects, or invuln.
-The worst mobility in the game no question
-No reliable escapes from any fight
-A lot of health but basically no damage mitigation at all.

If necromancer is so amazing and great and viable if used correctly, can someone please explain why the class is basically non-existent in top tier pvp?

Necromancers are bottom of the list and hated in dungeons, Underwhelming in PvP, and they still manage to get nerfed what seems like every single update. Everything we can do, another class will do better. Basically the only thing we’re good for in this game is dropping a well in a zerg fight.

I’ve been doing glorious o.o I heard it’s better chance at ascended pieces. Is that true and how does it compare to these others in terms of money?

Rym.1469:

Retaliation with NtD over both.

That would be good if you run NtD, but vital persistence and piercing life blast are too good for me to pass up.

Holl.3109:

I think it would be a very strong option. But then again what if you are just too pro and only MLG 360 no scope people like me? (/sarcasm) Then it would be useless :/

oh yes of course, I do hope that someday my power necro skills will become a fraction of Hollts’ MLG-ness.
Lol I know it would feel extremely scrubbish to take a trait like this. On the upside- just think of your enemies, this would have to be one of the most humiliating and rage-inducing ways to die in PvP >:D

Not a troll. I’m honestly wondering if we’d get more use out of 50% downed damage than a couple might stacks every now and then. (On a power build, of course)
Even before the patch, necro was known as a strong downed class and it wasn’t unheard of for a necro on his back to take a thief from Full HP to downed or even completely dead.
So now, the meta power builds get chill of death AND close to death from downed. So our already strong, rapid-firing, self-healing downed AA does 50% more damage always, and once they’re below half HP, we get a free spinal shivers AND another 20% damage increase. O.o

I feel like this would actually make a huge difference in 1v1 fights and probably team fights as well. What do you guys think?

- Character name: Deadnite Warrior
- Server: Isle of Janthir
- Preferred game mode: PvP and a little WvW
1 necromancer which is my main

Would be fun to see all necromancer events like dungeon runs and Pvp or WvW groups
