Guild Wars 2

The problem is spite now has 2 condi related traits. And curses still has nothing for power. Im really tired of the forced direction anet want the necro to go in.

Gear wise you should still use full berserker. I guess runes and sigils are up to you.

The direction anet wants to take pve in:

Think thats the biggest joke of all.

Thing is necro dps isnt all that insane. And anets maths is completely wrong. Its going to be more than a 30% nerf to our damage (all classes).

Last i checked necro needed the most help in pve and wasnt too bad in pvp. Really dont understand the direction the devs are going. Also all the new stuff seems to be encouraging boring afk heal support playstyles and nerfing dps. Its depressing.

Its not about the spite line. Its that they refused to give anything to power necros. Would of been nice to have a power trait in curses.

They could of given a decent power necro trait in curses. But nope. Everything is disappointing.

I hoped for just a tiny bit of good news. But nope. Devs have no idea what needs to be done for necro in pve.

Lel so i was wise to avoid coming on my lvl 46? ;D

Use MSI afterburner. Less of a fps drop compared to fraps and it produces smaller files for equal quality.

Not sure if trolling.

Then it’s 1h after reset(eu reset its at 6pm GMT+0) ?

I’m asking because it’s not that clear, PDT means nothing to me… not even sure why Anet doesn’t convert the time in GMT, not everyone lives in USA

Reset is at the same time. Its at 01:00 GMT+1.

I think hes more getting at the fact that blind is useless on bosses and on trash mobs its going to be refreshing every kill anyway. You dont need renewed to spam blinds. The only reason for it is to recharge condi cleanse and/or aegis.

And hounds are op. I certainly wouldnt kick some1 for using them.

Its Weth approved so its ok!

Yeah there was no need for the thief. Nice to see you guys doing some records ^^.

Its probably something to do with none of the devs in charge of skills/balance mains a necro. I kind of expect the worst these days. And just enjoy the changes that are good on all classes.

There are other alternatives. But some of them cost a fair bit. Such as the mini risen tequatl.

Thats 5 hours before reset. You can work out the time from that im sure.

More uninfused rings from 50!

We actually had 3 uninfused rings and 2 nothings in the fractal 50 last night. Such rewards!

Ranger for dungeons. Both are ok’ish in fractals.

Still doesnt make sense to put a trait in which effects 1/2 skills and its main use is to buff a trait that you have to invest more points in. Bloodthirst should just be removed and vampiric buffed. Or vampiric should be a 5 point minor.

Something ive never understood is why bloodthirst is an adept trait. If you only invest 10 points into blood it has absolutely no use whatsoever. The trait requires 15 in blood so why is it an adept. xD

Playing with sound is for casuals! :>

Lol its even more beautiful than i imagined when you said in guildchat.

Happy to amuse you.

The signet can already full heal you with fgs rush so its kind of a pointless trait. It will be something people maybe take in pvp or wvw not pve.

Yeah. This will open up many options. The question will be will they prevent you from switching inside instances. Because I can see that happen just to spite us. xD

And those are just the basics.

It’s actually difficult to master all the basics and make it a noticeable difference :P

Especially for the aegis. Like, I have known only 2-3 guardians who give me absolute joy to play with.

So true… I am not there yet.. playing a guardian is a tall order to fill.. People expect so much from a guardian. The aegis at right time is a tough one for me.. I am still learning that one.. also might stacking? And skipping trash mobs.. lolololol.. oh dear, I have stories with that one in Arah.

Wow.. you guys are a tough crowd to please.

If you have the fashion sense of Wethospu, that’s the only time I get displeased.

:O

Depends. My guild and my friends are all super elitists. But none of them have a problem with me taking my necro along in dungeons or fractals. I rarely do though, simply because I have more fun being much more useful (ele).

And those are just the basics.

Why? Its a defensive trait in a defensive line. There has to be some overlap anyway otherwise builds would be very dull.

Falcon.8713:

Warrior: +10% attack speed with offhand weapon equiped.
Necro: Regen health in DS same rate as kittening regen boon affected by kittening healing power…
This is bullkitten, give me some offensive kitten to :/

We have 4 other grandmasters that havent been announced yet.

Not sure this is a bug, but it’s pretty annoying anyway.
If you crash while in fractals, when you go back in after relogging you will be dead at the checkpoint with no option to revive. If your party has gone past you and can’t come back, such as in the Molten Alliance fractal, or are fighting a boss which they need to stay at, then you cant get revived until they have completed it or not at all (in the Molten Alliance fractal they can’t get back to revive you so you miss the chest, even if you completed all the content).

Its intended. Your party needs to out of combat so you can res yourself at the next checkpoint (not possible if they are in the trap room of molten).

I think its a good compromise. I kind of always felt healing in DS would be a bit strong. So making it a grandmaster means you have to spec for it.

The new trait changes have huge implications for pve as a whole. Being able to change builds anytime out of combat is amazing. And im very excited to see the other new traits.

I think its better to just disallow records if they break the rules rather than invoke a penalty.

Well I got a Raider Ascended Helm Chest yesterday from fotm 38 after months of crap and a infused zerker ring from 50.

What stats were available in the raider chest?

All stat combos that have power or precision mainstat. So he basically got a zerker helm.

Been getting zilch or uninfused rings from 50.

Defiant stance is beyond broken. Dunno why it hasnt been nerfed.

Necro and mesmer are the 2 slowest classes. If you can give both perma swiftness mesmer is faster than necro simply because of blink.

The most important thing you can do to make the necro ok in fractals is stack blinds and weakness on mobs. And use CC properly. Chill can also help. Necro is far from a good class in pve but when played right they can still help a group a lot.

Lol the irony. “Super awesome approachable attitude”. Lel

I assume hes talking about pve. Thats what im referring to anyway. Dont know anyone who uses 30/25 in wvw or pvp.

Thats fair enough. But the meeting to decide rules for gwscr was kind of to discuss this thing. And there arent any “official” rules. Closest thing to official we have is gwscr.

I just cant understand why you guys bother to do records like this when theres noone to compete with.

We dont all agree with the rules on gwscr. But its rather pointless not to follow them when doing records. I mean what competition do you have when you invent your own rules.

Class balance CDI’s will always become chaotic. Theres just too many people to prevent that. But yes linking this thread and summarising the unbiased data would be a massive help to the devs.

Its unreliable due the potential of being knocked out of DS. But I wouldnt worry about it too much if thats what you enjoy. Necro is not in a position where there is an optimal way to play them due to how useless they are overall in pve compared to other classes.

Yeah its rng when you dont use steady weapons. So you could test it for hours and still have a difference xD. Steady weapons are there to allow you to test these things without worrying about variance.

Fair enough that explains it.

I can exaggerate. Its a free country.

I can exaggerate. Its a free country.

It is, which is why I dont understand why they had an issue with thief. Its not like they were putting energy in a mainhand and an offhand (unless thats what they were doing by accident).

Depends on the race. Human warrior can summon hounds of balth! And if you have deluxe everyone can summon a minion!
