Guild Wars 2

I think the skill animation you are thinking of is the fear when downed.

Don’t Hassel the HOFF

Maybe it can just be switched.. making Dark Path a Utility Spell. So no spell is lost

<3 Rhydian ….you are awesome!

This is a great suggestion …. i would like to encourage you to post this in the SUGGESTION Forum as well.

But i guess Dark Path is kind of helpful to get to more targets at once for using life transfer….i still like your idea

I am 55 now and i never been to WvW since Beta…but that sounds FUN

Actually there are traits which reduce the fear CD.

I personally dont think we need more, but the DS fear could last a bit longer

EDIT:
Death Magic
Trait V. Staff Mastery Staff skills recharge 20% faster.
Soul Reaping
Trait III. Path of Midnight All death shroud skills recharge 15% faster.

I messed it up edited my post …and thx for the traits i will try this ASAP

Hey Tony.2150

Really a nice Guide to Power…. i allready feel the power.
I know you allready spend a lot of time for this guide, but would you mind to tell me the 7 traits for this build ?

EDIT: From looking at the stats you postet i allready know you are using Berserkers Amulet an Jewl

This was no sarcasm. I just thought it was a Set amount altered only by soul reaping.

Vitality = % of life pool ? really… ? i didnt know that

Pls give Anet the TIme to fix the class They are on it and i think in a week or so the major bugs will be gone.

Afterwards we have to find out how strong a Necro can be.

PS: Now i feel a little like waiting for headstart

I think the DS fear should be longer… staff is AoE so 1 sec is fine for me.
DS fear could use a buff… Its on a 20 sec cd.. so it could be 2 sec fear i think.

What i really dislike is the thief 3 sec fear

@ Josher.9612

I think he did not mean to use DS and spam your 4 skills. Its more about to use it often for a short time. So u pop in and out to use a quick fear or a #1 to gain a might buff… that kind of play.

In one point he is right :

We should now pause the hole “underpowerd” discussion…

refering to Jon Peters the bugs (sticky post) are going to be fixed (maybe soon) and until this happend and we where able to try out the FIXED NECRO, we should stop
talking about balancing issues.

Just my oppinion

EDIT: @OP….if you post something like this you should also post a build and/or video so that we can have a look.

Hey Swedishpope.9381

This is really a nice idea. You could create a build around this fact with other ….when entering Death Shroud effects.

If seen some builds in this direction but maybe not with your suggestion.

Deathly Invigoration – Heal in an area when you leave death shroud.

Furious Demise – Gain fury for 5 seconds when entering Death Shroud.
Weakening Shroud – Cast Enfeebling Blood when entering death shroud.

Death Shiver – Apply vulnerability for 10 seconds every 3 seconds to nearby enemies while in Death Shroud.
Shrouded Removal – Lose a condition when you enter death shroud.

Each point in Soul Reaping increases the Life force pool by 1%.
Foot in the Grave – Gain stability for 3 seconds when you enter death shroud.
Near to Death – Death Shroud recharges 50% faster.
Speed of Shadows – Move 15% faster while in death shroud.
Vital Persistence – Life force drains 25% slower while in death shroud.
Path of Midnight – All death shroud skills recharge 15% faster.

Spiteful Spirit – Gain retaliation for 3 seconds when entering Death Shroud.

Hey Guys,

as most of you know there wasn’t changed ANYTHING about the Necro in the last Update (14.9 see the wiki).

Do you think its possible that there is a bigger change coming in the next update ?
At least i also would like to see a red post about the Necro: What does ArenaNet think
about it atm and what are the future plans….

I know there are lots of: “We need a red Post” threads but i wanted to mention it anyway.

Sry for my english (i am not a native speaker)

I also agree. I love my necro and i love the Conditons so i dont mind leveling another class for PvE and WvW.

But for sPVP dan TPVP i think necro needs to be fixed and i will reroll Engi until the class is fixed!

Hey Anet. First of all: GREAT GAME! I love it and i am sure i will enjoy it a long time.

I did not read all 4 pages of previos posts but i have 1 thing id like to have:

Add a item to the Gemshop which let you change your appearance. (Like going back to the Char Creation).
This should not change Race or Personal Story decisions. Just Hair,Skin, Eyes…etc…

I think you should use Cond Damg and Toughness. Toughness helps you in Death shroud as well. I dont think vitality affects your Death Shroud live bar (not 100% sure).

For max Condition you could try Dagger as off hand. Is has nice bleeds. And for Utility i would recomend corrupt boon and maybe epidemic !
