Guild Wars 2

Iris Ng.9845:

Hey guys, I’m leaving the Guild as I have stopped working on it for months. If you want to enlist as students or mentors, please contact Sarahfull.4930.

Thank you!

Where is the Mentor List post? After it’s gone the initiative is pretty much dead cause nobody writes to us (mentors) anymore and guild roster doesn’t tell the small info like what class mentor are we, etc.

I play since release. I would really love to participate in next beta. I farmed whole week everyday for hours in SW and I didn’t drop the portal. Im currently heartbroken

i like the idea of ground targeted explosion

Rym.1469:

We will get more Signets.

Of Vampirism.

a perfect example of person who have already dealt with it
(or a chronomancer coming from the future to warn us)

Sagat.3285:

What: DS skills
Why: DS is not a reliable defense mechanic and you refuse to create proper defense because of it,self heals are still blocked,since lauch your direction with necro was not supported and real improvements were repeated constantly to the point we are asking if you are deaf
Suggestions: Create F1-5 skills that consume LF on usr,DS is no longer a second HO bar, traits that trigger on intrance or exit of it can be directed to skills,drain becomes reduction of LF usage, Blood Magic becomes decent,you have room for real improvements in defense and mobility and can stop forcing us to facetank in this great combat system,99.9% of necros will thank you

would be awesome to have invuln/reflect/stabil/boon sharing skills on f1-5 that use lf (for example: hold f1 to generate might around you, hold longer to channel more might for bigger price"

Or do they have to drop the portal item as well?

Ahh, Axe Mastery… it’s so bad that the whole forums would explode.

That actualy made me laugh .

Well, did anyone even consider the fact that they may actually rework Axe at the same time? (I don’t think they will but maybe I’m underestimating them…)

You must be new here. These forums are not only ignored, but I think ANet lost the roadmap to them. I have waited since bw1 for our “attrition” to actually be implemented and now I just use my necro as a well dispenser in WvW.

you are incorrect. anet reads necro forum, thats why revenant is so awesome. he steals our ideas. -.-

necro is not only bad but 95% necromancers i’ve encountered use pathetic builds/play very bad. (im speaking about dungeons of course)

once again, we have to….

*
Cassandra = ANet
This dude = Players

I agree with everything Spoj has said about Curses and Spite specialisations.
I’m happy that chill will stack vuln, though I’d rather have this trait in curses, so I can pick 5% dmg for non-boon targets and still inflict vuln with chill

kitten , our GS aa will inflict chill = tons of vuln <3

I have a question!

I want to know if necromancer will be looked at it’s PvE side, it’s undoubtedly the worst class for PvE (to the point of other players refusing to play with necromancers in dungeons and fractals, which isn’t really fun when considering myself a dungeon player), so I’m curious if this one time we’ll get a balance strictly for PvE.

*by mistake I posted this in wvw thread before, sorry

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

I don’t want them to get rid of Death Shroud.

they won’t. only the specialisation will bring a different mechanic. if you want to use DS then dont use elite spec.

Brahmincorle.1264:

yea necro is hopeless at soloing but if u r speced into power DS, it is fairly easy to not die It might not be “top” but it is not bottom either

it’s actually bottom. something has to be bottom, the worst, otherwise we wouldn’t have the best (looking at ele in general, or war in survivability). necro is the only class that cannot solo lupicus anymore (excluding nomad gear etc)

Brahmincorle.1264:

3. bottom tier in everything (dps/support). The only top thing on necro is survivability

excuse me? we have 0 blocks and 0 vigor, 0 invulnerability, 0 endurance regeneration skills, full death shroud can be gone in 1 hit (and even sometimes will kill your both hp bars), 0 leaps, 1 escape that has to be precasted and can be killed, 1 escape that has to be precasted and you have 8/12 sec to use it or it’s wasted, our only aoe blindness is on a long utility cooldown and entering plague renders you harmless. our healing sustain is crippled as our healing signet has icd and our lifestealing traits are nothing compared to thief’s signet of malice

now that i’ve explained our uselessnes at soloing bosses or playing tough encounters, let’s talk about how useless we are at everything else, for example blasting, having useful field finishers, buffing party, having some utility?

why can’t some people just agree to the truth.

tramwajarz.2369:

Don’t be so snarky. Maybe devs are trying to get to the Lupicus and check what’s happening but pugs keep kicking them for not being zerk?

or for playing necro

oh my god!!!!!!!!

edit: 248, 43.54, 22/24

You can just wait a while. Anet said they’ll edit story mode so it’s soloable

Titanimite.2534:

We’re still waiting…

while waiting, let’s post our real life photos

Sublimatio.6981:

It was today! Wohoo!

Yeah I saw you yesterday idling in LA. You were browing the gem store, WEREN’T YOU?!

Yes, sir.

hahah omg i love this thread

f1 entering death shroud :p

It was today! Wohoo!

I would really like an option to disable some of my unlocked finishers so they won’t appear when I randomize them. It would encourage me to buy more finishers from gem store, as I would actually start using the randomizer option. I don’t want to use it with my vanilla pvp rank finishers.

Solution simple: allow us to deactivate finisher by right clicking on it.

Sagat.3285:

What: The necromancer description on wiki/forums
Why: It misleads new players and outsiders
Suggestion: Masters of the dark arts necromancers are dark paladins that summon half brained minions, manipulate the aggro mechanic and can suck the hope out of you. Necromancers grind to build Life Force and used it to tank damage wasting foes skills on them while your allies attack them, powerful even in death their downed state is fearful. Unlike their counterpart guardians necromancers are only capable to spec for best individual encounters.

reminded me of a good, old joke:
“Plague Signet
Signet Passive: Copy conditions from your allies onto yourself.
Signet Active: Stop copying conditions”

(that is how it used to work once xDD)

i would bring back good quality storytelling

today is the day I’ve updated my signature xD

Sagat.3285:

What: Epidemic
Why: Condition necro is more fragile in team fights than other specs and has limited AoE condi, if he managed to not get tossed around and apply a significant amount of condition on 1 foe despite abundance of AoE cleansing, he deserves a proper burst to help the team
Suggestions: Increase radius to 1.2k, reduce CD to 10 secs, activation time reduced to 1/2 sec

that would be more than op

Element Two.7316:

Sublimatio.6981:

or give this skill a cooldown

Has a cooldown of 2 seconds

or give this skill a larger cooldown*

well of darkness should be smoke field, not ice field imo

or give this skill a cooldown

fracture.9754:

Short answer: no.
Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

it’s sad that ANet doesnt care about dungeons as they are one of the main things people do in this game

fracture.9754:

Of course it isn’t fixed yet. It’s only been a few weeks and this is dungeons after all. Expect a fix somewhere in 2020-2028.

I wouldn’t be as optimistic. 2036 seems like a more reasonable time

Turk.5460:

Wasn’t it addressed that using the LFG system to “sell” anything, including home instances and dungeons was not-allowed?

No? It was said “gentleman agreements” are accepted within the game

I know how to reproduce it, if any dev wants to ask, please pm me

i hope they will add it.

encountering a non-party member in dungeon must be so creepy

i find them very useful for bad pugs or solo

also, shooting life blasts with skelk venom active will proc the conditions on you, not on the mob…. -.-

spoj.9672:

The fix is pretty simple. Just move projectile point of origin to his head. It being on his belly is really convenient considering its the same height as the top of the wall. :P

inb4 ppl positioning him to target someone under the wall, so that his head stays at the top of the wall…;p WoR would reach it

Hyper Cutter.9376:

particle effects have never been dyable, I don’t know why you thought this would be different.

Also outfits have been in the gem store since launch, for the record.

1) actually particles were dyeable

2) They were town clothes back then and you could mix them with other town clothes, now you can’t

i dont like the idea. necro needs buffs, not redesigns imo

Miku, actually the p3 Frienzed Blast works fine now, it was a bug that it could shoot you outside of red circle.

Yeah im on EU. I heard NA people don’t have problems with necro, but on EU the hate is really visible

If you’re going to do dungeons with it, get ready to be kicked from parties a lot, but otherwise sure play, wait for the GS specialisation and hope for better times

try blasting blinding powder with bone minions xD that is, if they moved a bit and thief doesn’t know how to position the field to get 2 blasts

but blasting a poison field creates weakness :d

Sagat.3285:

I sometimes laugh at our blast finishers especially that one.

I didn’t know that and I just laughed so hard, it’s mocking our class beyond imagination XD (and I’m laughing because I’m out of tears)

zapv.8051:

Sublimatio.6981:

I can’t see well of DARKness being an ice field instead of DARK xD maybe one of the wells could be a smoke field

I addressed this in my post dude, read more thoroughly for your own sake. It’s just dumb that blasting a skill gives the same effect as the skill itself.

Maybe your aggressive response would make any sense if I didn’t suggest a smoke field.
As Drarnom explained, many fields just repeat their original effect to improve it, and as soon as HoT is released, blasting dark fields will be the only way of removing defiance bar via blast finishers. (and actually it’s 3s blind, so it will remove more than thief’s powder tick (2s), and smoke screen tick (1s)

Grimlin.4567:

What shocked me the most was when I saw my guild mates were doing a rank 20 fractal in the LFG and joined in with my necro, and no had no idea that i would be unwelcome to join a guild run.. For a rank 20 fractal for not being meta, granted these individuals are a bit elitist but it truly came as a big surprise being excluded among guildies, from a low ranked fractal for not being meta. So if necro gets buffed or all meta gets nerfed, I truly don’t mind either of them as long as something changes. Cause this is ridiculous, having a whole community rejecting professions. ok this one was a bit of a rant, sorry

I feel for you, to have such unfriendly guildies.
I too, have been kicked on sight from AC and even whisper “no necros, especially ugly ones” CAN U IMAGINE IT XD /though they were just pugs
