Guild Wars 2

Contrary to popular belief, necro actually takes work and skill to play. Knowledge of rotations and positioning are much more needed with this class or otherwise you’re more of a liability to your teamates.

But then again what if skyhammer isn’t available in matched arena but available for selection in the unranked arenas. Since your combining solo and team why not just do that..

Cs go has a option to spectate ranked matches in game. I would be interest if they ever brought something like that to this.

Some classes it’s practically mandatory such as necro summon swapping for a base life force for survival.

Not like I think character swapping in game is good but I do think it’s great if say I joined late and couldn’t summon swap on necro to build lf and got stuck with the wrong utilities. Then I would character swap to something use able.

Couldn’t it just allow someone already in que to join by giving someone qued up a message to join in a on ongoing match?

I preferred Raid on the Capricorn and it was removed!

It was removed because we decided to exclude water combat from PvP, not because of anything wrong with the map’s mechanics (outside the water, obviously.)

I loved the map… very few people knew how to work the canon, so they’d leave me alone as I repeatedly blasted them.

Can you reintroduce Capricorn but remove the water? So how about raising the seafloor level up to the ship so it’s like an old “beached” ship. Then make ruins point (the previous underwater node) like inside a cavernous area within that rocky outcropping. Keep the other nodes (dock and beach) the same along with the cannon on the elevated wall and the gang planks leading to the ship. Could leave blue spawn the same and lower red spawns height.
Could then rename it to, say, Capricorn Grotto.

It’s outfits like this, that I wish it wasn’t an outfit but rather an armor set. I would love to mix and match the pieces.

As you need 10 scraps to make 1 ticket, I think this would be cool. At least on a monthly basis,

Wetpaw.3487:

1. Race change (don’t care about story issues)
2. Tails (back items, don’t care about armor clip)
3. Expand on current mounts (add sprint to mount bar)

I wouldn’t mind race changes but it would totally deem my extra character slots useless which would kinda make me sad buttt whatever I don’t care that much.

^ so I don’t have to constantly keep in the back of my mind when my heal is off cd while in shroud or even plague.
I personally like the shroud skills. Though I wish we could get heals while in it. I hate seeing players trying to burst heal me while I’m in shroud.

So what about when prior to match start in the 10 second window, I couldn’t fully summon and swap on necro to build some base life force and then I’m locked out with possibly a minion still slotted? This doesn’t happen often but I’m always sometimes preoccupied with something else and not always paying attention or late to the game and it has happened a couple times. Usually if it does I’ll just swap to another class instead of running with a messed up utility bar. Now if I’m profession locked, I’m basically screwed? This can happen for say, eles using a staff to stack swiftness as well. Its not as detrimental to the build if they accidently not swap weapons in time but it still sucks.
How is this going to be handled? Can say necros finally be able to build life force prior to matches easier? Will life fore accumulate better? Will you just increase the match start time period to say 15 seconds? Can I just use the wait time before match to build life force without it resetting right before countdown?
Is this change really what’s best? Could be harsh for some.

Every time I look back at this, I can’t beleieve my eyes, I’m still hyped.

That was poor wording in the press release, there is no “new game mode” in the traditional sense we’d think of (new map/ new rules) being released in this update, though our competitive team continues to work on new game mode options as we speak. As with all things, they’ll give details on this when it’s far enough along we’re able to talk about it.

The reference to “mode” is talking about how players will be organized in PvP games, details later this week.

Colin why do you play me like this.

I dig it. Could call me slightly hyped.

I want to be a champion and drop loot.

Where are they anet, I’m still waiting. Patch after patch.

It didn’t mention it, but they better put in a match pause function or I’ll collapse a lung. Almost 3 years and still nada.

But but but..“practice” mode! And and, map selection!

You can’t judge a build on hotjoin heroing glock.

If this update preview doesn’t get you slightly tingly inside, you just might be dead.

Anet official.

Oh I well I believe they will bring them back. They done it already many times on items thought gone for good like fused gauntlets and other living story items made obtainable anytime. Same with rare items like jetpack, 2012 halloween skins, and countless others as well as gem store specifics so have faith.

HeadCrowned.6834:

Could you explain to me why you think it’s better on forest/kyhlo/temple than on legacy?

Certainly. Forest has some handy spots behind walls on either side of mid point as well as top of mid point to allow you to get up top easily or to port to from midway to side nodes. Also there are some handy nooks on back pass that allow you to teleport through the wall from mid point side. Huge if you want to break away from a fight and then even be in a position to steal a side boss. Khlyo is self explanatitory. The wurm allows easy mobility in and out of clock tower allowing amazing positioning. And Temple is the same deal, allowing you to move in and out of mid point with ease with the side top bridges or teleporting through ceilings, or positioning in temple point.
I use wurm regardless of map but if you wanted you could use something different in legacy depending on whether your just 2 point rotating. Yet it still great for moving in and out if mid point up walls and juking players in general.
Main point being necros lack mobility more so than mesmers due to portal. Being able to blink out quickly can save your life or allow you to get to higher ground to prepair for an assault. It’s just very ideal for duels and conquest as its fairly compact but I wouldn’t run it outside of pvp in wvw necessarily.
I find necros, like mesmers, rely on juking opponents more than anything as a way of survival and both spectral walk, wurm and dark path allow me to do that very efficiently.

If reapers protection was so terrible, then top players wouldn’t use nor complain about it. Yet we do and it’s right up there with engi incinerary powder due to its fairly rng basis, not as much as nightmare proc but still. Yes greater marks is a great trait as well but it all depends on choice.
Yes someone opening with stability on could potentially bypass it but if I see stab go up I almost immediately corrupt it because if they produce any more than 5 boons which most classes can easily churn out, then stability will get masked as corrupt prioritizes it last. As for something like zerker stance being used on opening then this trait is still performing by forcing players to open with there best defense and survival against conditions early while I’m still at full health and life force. They waste their strongest utility due to the obscurity of my passives.
Say what you will but I know that in my solo ques as well as both organized and Yolo team ques, this trait has saved my butt a couple times and allowed me to capitalize on openings.

Wurm imo is amazing. It’s the only blink that doesn’t require los and it’s max range can over extend a bit while still Teleporting you near it’s general location. It gives necros more mobility around the map and some handy life force on return from the sacrifice. Basically the only “blink” that can teleport though solid objects.
Wurm is a skill that is only useful if you know the spots for its location and how to utilize to its fullest potential. If not your most defiantly better off with say something like spectral armor. My only wish is that they lower the cast time on summoning the wurm.
Edit: wurm is useful on everymap. The best on forest, khylo, and temple. Still great in legacy. Skyhammer isn’t in tpvp but it works there nicely too.

They are? Oh wait I’m a necro.
But seriously, engis are only powerful due to outside sources, well besides incinerary powder. they need to be careful about how they go about things with their balance because it could easily leave the class useless.

Never understood the purpose of this. There’s a way point literally 2 ft away from the instance entrance. Why waste gems on this when you could just way point right there.

Because it can take you back to your original spot with just one click and one loading screen without paying a bunch of silver every time?

Wait so 1-3 silver depending on location is “a bunch”? I pvp and get zip for cash and I still find this low.

Like it’s been said, putting giants eyes as a not “extremely” rare but obtainable drop for undead giants, any other giants (even the new sand giant) including low lvl zone giants, and the eyes of Zhaitan in Orr as well.

Um could have sworn I saw people talking about mad memories return and doing it just this past halloween season. It was all over the subreddit. Anyways, ya Gaile, have them bring back the bunny ears and make sure they put in the ride rim glasses. Crucial black Friday sales potential right here.

Tbh, I used to be poor pleeb who thought reapers protection was useless until I decided to play a good amount of games with it. You realize how stupid good this trait really is. Passive fear procs are broken as they have zero counters, this one is even better due to its 100% proc chance. Couple that with nightmares and you have 2 passive fears that no one can counter. This has literally saved my butt so many times and allowed me to win many 1v2s in my ques.
Idk what cleanse breaks fear, since everything is unusable during its duration except stunbreaks.
Edit: remember that terror with more condis granting the extra damage is stronger than burning making fear the strongest condi and only usable by necros. With reapers protection and nightmare proc, that’s like having 2 equivalents to engis incinerary powder, only stronger. It’s ridiculously good.

Never understood the purpose of this. There’s a way point literally 2 ft away from the instance entrance. Why waste gems on this when you could just way point right there.

Air ship is strictly convenience. Just having everything within one area. This means all crafting tables, bank, trading post, repair, all vendors (laurel, armor, weapon, salvage kits, etc.), forge, and more.

Back again. Gaile have them bring back all discontinued head accessories now especially since we’re in the sale mode with black Friday coming up eventually. There’s sales coming up now already on the gem store so let’s see these return too.

edwardroyce.5289:

What I want in the gem store:

1. Body art. Basically a selection of tattoos, sleeves, etc. Could be generic “tribal” patterns. But more interesting would be full color tattoos/sleeves of various animals, critters or mobs. Give it a 800 gem cost + unlock required where you have to achieve a specific unlock of that mob in order to buy that tattoo so no posing. Frankly just doing these could bring in wads of cash to anet on a regular continuing basis.

2. Make all pieces of armor transparent or hidden. You can do so with mantles and helms but nothing else. Would make showing off the body art a lot easier..

Agreed I would love tattoos. Though I must say there needs to be changes with the current underwear. I wouldn’t want my top piece being hidden to show off my ink ans have this ugly yellow bra. There are compensations already with some light armor pieces but honestly the underwear in this game is extremely bland and even undyeable. Needs to be changed

@Gaile
please bring them back as soon as possible. I can’t be waiting till the spring. I’ve been waiting for more than a already. And make sure to bring back the ride rim glasses too.
Though if they want to make it seasonal then at least make the glasses available asap.

The default builds were never good aha. Most of them hardly make sense.

My last post here got infracted and removed so I’ll keep it brief.
I would have done the same. Sympathy does not come to rank farmers.

Well rank used to mean something till anet decided to get rid of that and make ranks easier to obtain. Like many aspects of the game, they used to be a challenge and with the completion of that challenge, a sense of acompliment. But anet has continuously lowered the challenging aspect of the game more and more until the acompliment becomes meaningless.
They need to go back to their roots. Make ranks something that takes not only time but serious effort to obtain. They need to really figure out their leader boards, make team que rank by actual teams and not just individuals.
But make sure to make pvp much more rewarding. No one wants to work kittenly to achieve mediocre compensation.

a finisher with a skritt
the skritt searches for your wallet and runs away.
#necrophilia

I don’t think necrophilia is the word you want to use there unless that skritt is doing more than taking your wallet bhaha.
Oh and BRING BACK WIDE RIM GLASSESS!!
I’ll be on my wayyyyyy…

The necro profession is a very, shall I say, selfish class. It lacks overall support due to just general class design and past nerfs to the class that removed some of the little support we provided. The classes signature specialties mainly shine in pvp so we can’t really apply them in the pve side of things.
Not saying that our only flaws are lack of group support but it’s the defiantly one of the most obvious.

Under played but useful in the meta..that would be mesmer. Ranged: yes, melee dps: not so much if you want to be meta. Healing: zilch.
Wonderful class, second favorite after necro. I only like the caster classes really.

Just like the mesmer has no clones. Svanir and Chieftain would like a word with you though, they have killed numerous amounts of players. Both in Forrest and hotm. I find it extremely amusing.

Necro has come a long way since launch, with its ups and downs. Love the class and will continue to do so. I has its own unique play style that I find so relaxing. Slow and steady but still requires a lot of strategy.

Then what we need is some access to vigor, or regen in shroud or invuln or evades or blocks and more stability. That’s all.

Regardless of who gets them I hope it actually serves it’s perpose and circulates more of these skins in the market bring the prices down a bit.

Bl claim tickets in pvp reward tracks baha yes please. How about small gem store items such as glasses or whatnot. Good way to bring back bunny ears and other discontinued glasses like ride rims and aviators.
