that is not what i wrote so please dont put my name in the quote
Don’t I recall them also saying that axe being “at range, but not a ranged weapon” in the sense that it doesn’t get blocked by projectile things, etc, was kind of regrettable from their pov?
so is scepter on ele and its currently meta, so argument invalid
A fractal where we assist Lornar in his stalwart defense of Beacon’s Perch against Hill Giants.
This isn’t possible, The Great Hill Giant Invasion from 534 a.e. is known to had been stopped by Lornar single-handedly. He had no allies to assist him.
Well of Meta

yass the idea of increasing damage taken is magnificent. I think necromancer overall should have some traits allowing to cap vulnerability at more than 25 stacks. but an elite well that would increase damage taken by 10% while it’s affecting the enemy would create a nice spot for bursting some phases like keep construct!
I think it’s time to compile a wishlist for the training area!
1. New engineer buff
2. Thorn rune stacks – let us apply 5 of them or/and make the golem attack us for 1dmg (actually the “attack” option is better to test traits like "when enemy is using a skill/retaliate/etc)
3. Someone suggested reset skill cd on special action key
4. Seriously add some ambient killable creatures to replenish life force quickly
5. The ability to imitate 18 +5 stat infusions for the cheap queens
6. Bloodlust and sigils as such – let us also apply their bonuses
And then Sublimatio hits 32-34k on an actual boss when using epi.
Context: this was Deimos cm after returning with black saul. I use epi twice to bounce to Deimos and then Saul dies. This only creates this big dps for just few moments, as you no longer have target to epi bounce from. I’m also at 0 condi infusions, and some people noticed it’s better to take extra viper gear and malice sigil which I’m not sure of yet, but on paper seems reasonable. I would also like to mention that using haunt (shadow fiend) on cd and Suffer! on cd (+ autoattacking) produced almost the same dps (minion little more), but during the rotation you spawn blinding fields and it overlaps with Haunt, which means Suffer will be best. However, CPC is considerably more dps than spamming suffer or haunt (tested on thorn runes). Everything should be used with your own judgment of course, so for condi transfer scenarios suffer will be optimal, like matthias (alongside with plague signet).
i like that necro wells last longer on the ground. im all for keeping the skill effects pretty and immersive. i remember how game looked in 2010, skills were beautiful and looked powerful. now we have only performance-cheap leftovers, looking at you cpc
just make well of darkness a smoke field. well of suffering needs more damage and so does corruption well. well of power should grant resistance so we don’t suffer from our conditions while they are being transfered to boons
rev can also spec traits for passive boon removals on hit + run mallyx np
not to mention you can have some ppl run nullification sigil (no dps classes like chrono/druid) and bam necro not needed + you keep dps slot for engi/ranger
Since there isn’t a reliable way to test this, yet, and it would require far more math than I’m willing to do, I’m just going to wait until there is a reliable parser and test this in the actual raids.
i usually have ~5k lower dmg than engi and ~1-2k more than condi warriors, but that can differ dramatically depending if boons got bad or there are fails. if i manage to bounce epi from saul twice before he dies, my dps hops into 32-34k
Realistically, the new rotation I think relies too heavily on ice fields, especially since they’ll be teamed with condi Warriors / Rangers / Engis that drop other fields rapidly. This is probably the biggest reason why necro is still so unfortunately weak in raids.
you still deal more damage doing the new rotation even with bad field combos, than with the old scepter camping. if you want to do blood magic however, just stick with scepter. dps loss not worth it tbh, better to find ppl who dont die
I don’t like the fractal in it’s current state, and absolutely want to rework it (and other fractals). Right now though my full focus is on the next fractal, and I just don’t have the resources to commit to a Jade Maw rework in the near future. ;(
If you are looking for a quick fix, just make the Maw laser target all players every time.
Yeah, dodge or die mechanics would suure make it really popular.
the game should have more like it so ppl would actually have to learn to dodge
These are just tweaks of already existing models (just like the new destroyers in LS, that are themselves just slight modifications. Of designs that are thenselves not original, by the way, since Anet didn’t want to bother to create unique destroyer models based on their previous GW1 design).
we already have a model for saltspray dragon, it’s the minipet for mobile authentication
when you do rework it please add some nice canthan areas to explore for fun and maybe saltspray dragon or something
Based on the dev work so far (in general, not only in fractals), I don’t think we can really expect any visually new mobs at this point. Not until expansion, anyway.
But back to the fractal rework – some streamlining is likely necessary (someone mentioned the skipping mobs part), but please, don’t make it significantly harder. Not every fractal needs to get the swamp treatment.
well, the chaos fractal introduced new harpy-golems. and a golden lobby golem npc. so don’t say that
isn’t golem better? if you tried, how much of a difference did it make?
ps. you can cast gs 5 followed immediately by 4 to shorten the casting time of 5
+ for golem i would still use cpc as some bosses don’t have adds
lol, no. it’s buggy as hell.
- phase skipping (no rigom phase)
- phase repeat (respawn rigom and guldhem after you finish them)
- rigom bugs and clunkiness
- holes in terrain making rigom stuck and difficult to retrieve
- cc phase can be entirely skipped if he jumps on the fixated person that at the same time gets downed (maybe not a bug but odd)
- when he runs behind spears, stops when spears clear from map, wasting timer time
in rT we lately play with 2 necros in squad and we have no problem clearing all wings and even CM bosses. the dps isn’t optimal but not detrimental. just take a necro who is a pro and executes the new condi gs rotation properly. don’t discriminate classes in lfg, it hurts the game, you’re not going for world records in lfg
farm gold do crafting so you can buy equipment from fractal vendor, get into raids so you can buy asc stuff for tokens.
if you do first legendary armor collection you even get 1 ascended armor SET for free
SE P2 – after killing Taskmaster and approaching the dredge vehicle, event doesn’t start to bring glowing rocks to our allied NPC. They do nothing and killing them doesn’t fix it.
