Guild Wars 2

Does Reaper’s Touch regenerate my minions health ?
If not , which off hand weapon will fit MM build ?

Swagg.9236:

The Demonic Spirit.3157:

They can give us a torch instead , which summons 2 flame minions.

Or you could get a torch off-hand with more interesting utilities than two minions, and have those two minions added to the option pool for your F2-F4 skills. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES.

Yeah , your idea is better >> getting F2-F4 and a torch will be cooler .
But first we should be heard !!!!! as Anet team is not doing any thing about our minions.

Where are the troll unguent users ?

They can give us a torch instead , which summons 2 flame minions.

Vampiric traits are not affected by healing power , however if you are a MM and have one hand dagger , you will have a very awesome life siphoning that saves your life all the time.
I’m a MM 80 necro and it’s rare to drop my HP under 90% thanks to my minions.

Is better than Troll Unguent ??
The spring force you and your pet to be in its tiny range while the troll heals both of you where ever you are without exposing you to danger of camping.

I would think sigil of fire and maybe perception?

It said on sigil of fire >> The flame blast has a 1.0 damage coefficient , what does it mean ? and is it based on condition damage ?

Based off of gw2 wiki
it means that the damage is based off of power + weapon strength.

You mean that >> 1000 ( power + weapon ) will cause 1000 damage , don’t you ?

Got the salamander drake as main pet as it got the strongest skill , but what about a secondary pet ??

I use it in dangerous situations when the drake dies , so I want it to be a defensive pet that heal me alot till I kill the mobs.

Does Moa have the best healing skill ? if that’s so , I will get the blue one for its protection.

And what about the best healing aqua pets ? Is it carrion devourer ?

The best way to do it will be the torch , it can have 2 summoning skills that summon flame minions ( like Hounds of Balthazar ).

lifestealing build without a full MM build – Vampiric master trait , is weak and unreliable.
With 6 minions + this trait , your healing will be wonderful.

Freedansan.3571:

Hmm I like the idea of having some weapon based minions, but I don’t think we should be changing the staff for this kind of thing. We MM don’t want to force our type down other Necro’s throats :P

However, I do agree that this is one way we can get a bit more minions out in the field. If perhaps the torch was added as another off hand weapon for Necro, maybe something like your idea could be implemented. That way, we have a weapon for us, yet it doesn’t bother other people’s playstyle.

With the lack of a full set of summons, there’s always the option of having a DS summon skill in there too. I mean, with only 4 skills, there is an availability to add a bit more

Torch is a great idea indeed as having the summoning skills in DS mode.

Here is my idea >>
1- MM should have the ability to use a weapon which summon minions through all its skills ( except the 1st one of course ) , so totally he will get 9 summoning skills.
The weapon may be staff or something else , don’t say anything about Lich Form as we want a permanent one not elite skill.

2- With Vampiric master trait , minions should be able to heal them selves too which will increase their survivability much more.

Minions AL and Vampiric skills should be fixed so they will be affected with healing power.

Which is the strongest traited kit ? Bomb or grenade ?

I’m talking about soloing ( not dungeons or WvW )

All my utility skills are spirit weapons.
My build focuses on SPs and symbols http://tinyurl.com/cv8bn4a
I use mace/touch , scepter/focus

Should I focus on Power , Toughness and healing power ?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge#Armor_Box_.2F_Satchel_Recipes

carry on with research

It said > The amount of Wine, Crystals, and Coins depends on the quality of item placed in the forge.
They gave example of an exotic armor , but what about fine one such as Satchel of Mighty Seeker Armor ? How can I know how many wine , crystals and coins should I put ?

But …..
I found that the most profitable crafted item for my level is http://www.gw2spidy.com/recipe/1868 , however I can’t get its recipe via TP.
How can I get it ?

Iehova.9518:

You’re doing it wrong. Discover some items. Insignia + two partials = item.

Will lose much money by this way !!!

I have checked all level 25 items and I found out that their cost is much higher than their profit > check >> http://www.gw2db.com/recipes as the profit is always in minus ( this applies to all disciplines ) , what should i do ( I wanna make some money in TP or even equal ).

lisamee.2408:

But you can slowly make gold by selling the ingredients for crafting, because many people craft to gain levels to 80. And since the drop rate is so low, i only see the prices going up for ingredients.

But I want to gain money while crafting !!

All level 25 items in any discipline cost more than their profit.

Letifer.4360:

The Anomaly kicks kitten my fav focus in the game working on the skill points to get one for my Guardian x’D

It’s too expensive buddy !!
Are there any other glowing focuses ? ( which cost little gold )

Malkavian.3751:

CoF and Destroyer daggers have a slight burning/flaming/glowing effect, not very noticeable though.

So there aren’t any other glowing daggers in the entire game ?

Iehova.9518:

I will try it , thanks.

Crafters should get money or at least not lose much when selling via TP.

I have reached level 25 , however there are not any recipes to get or discover atm .

All items that get me some profit are grey ( won’t get exp by crafting them ).

The others ( orange , yellow ore blue ) will cost me more than their profit.

What should I do ?

I guessed that
Thanks
The problem is that some grey items give me much profit by selling them in TP.
All orange items cost more than their profit ( if sold in TP ).
So should I get new recipes randomly ? If not what recipes should I get in general ?

Each item name has a color such as red , yellow , white , grey and blue .
I know that red Items require more levels to be craftable, but what about the other colors ?

The Demonic Spirit.3157:

Thank you guys for you great help.
But with all crafting disciplines( tailor , weapon / armor smith , chief ,….. ), I will always get ( from selling the crafted items in TP ) more than I have paid to get the materials , right ?

Yes, you will pay more to get to 400 than you will selling back the items. Jewlery will get you the most money back whereas cooking will get you the least amount back. Crafting is always done at a loss, unless you gather materials yourself.

But the difference between the cost and the profit is small , isn’t it ?

Depends on the crafting skill, cooking can be maxed at a cost of around 2g while others will run you as high as 6-8g.

Anyways , I have figured out a way that always makes the profit more than the cost.

xCrusadentx.2784:

The Demonic Spirit.3157:

Tremain.4623:

3g tops, and maxing a crafting skill gets you ten levels. That means you get a ton more exp total if you craft at 70 than at 1, because it always adds up to 10 levels. Maxing all crafting skills = lvl 80.

But I want to level up my new characters !!
Is the experience based on a percentage or it’s a basic amount ?
If I got level 20 character , how many levels will I reach by getting 400 exp in cooking ?

You gain about 10 levels by crafting to 400 in any craft. So, if you are level 20 and get 400 cooking, you will level up 10 levels to 30.

There are 8 crafting disciplines , so this mean that I can reach level 80 just by crafting. ( As you said that each crafting discipline will get me 10 levels )

I’m a pure MM and I think that it’s the best build even with their AL and the other bugs. ( Many players share the same thought )

Thanks you ( Anet ) for trying to fix the AL issue as you mentioned in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Necromancer-pets-will-not-always-attack/page/2#post1146761

But we still need many things to be done to our minions like >
1- Having the Vampiric traits affected by healing power as well as the other life steal things.

2- Minions should be affected by our stats as spirit weapons and illusions are.

3- We should be able to call our minions to run from the AOE which kill our minions in seconds.

I really need the developers reply on these including their thoughts.

Are there any dagger skins that got burning/flaming effects ( not the legendary ) ?

And what about focus ? ( same effects )

What about glowing skins ?

guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any answer from your experiences ?

Any other skins ? if not flaming , you can give me glowing one.
And what about focus ? ( same effects )

Choops.3710:

IMO power. It would synergize better with what you’ve already got going between your bombs, mines and grenades, all explosive weapons and all benefiting from power.

So I should not get condition damage at all ( just increasing power and other stats ) or should I be a hybrid ?

What is the minimum cost( gold and silver ) to get 400 exp( maximum rank ) in cooking ?

How many levels will I reach with it ?

I use this build > http://tinyurl.com/cd7ltc5
My main weapon is bomb and I often use pistols( got them for the sigils ) and grenades( on bosses ).
Which stat should I focus on ? Power or condition damage ?

Any other skins ? if not flaming , you can give me glowing one

This is my build > http://tinyurl.com/d7exy4s

I will keep my off hand dagger for bleeding and blinding.
But what about the main hand one ???
I’m hybrid ( power and condition ), My main weapon is staff so I land my marks then switch to DD any keep fighting till the 10 seconds end.

I’m a MM so power just affects my daggers . Do you advise me to replace my one hand dagger with specter ?

My set focuses on condition damage and power , ( toughness and vitality as well ). I use staff 1st ( landing the 3 marks ) , switch to daggers which will give me 3 stacks of might for 20 sec and + 5% damage then use death shroud to use Life blast ( will give me 1 stack of might , total will be 4 ) . Now I have powered up the Life Transfer so I use it to damage my foes and heal my minions. Finally , I use all my dagger skills till the swapping cool down finishes then use the staff again and so on.
If u played MM well , you will rarely die or even be in downed mode.
This is my build > http://tinyurl.com/d7exy4s
The best skin that suites MM is Male witch outfit ( only town clothes , I’m afraid ).
So you have to stick with Arah.

Hi dude , did you looked up in the wiki before asking ???
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Adrenal_Health
It heals you 120 hp/s and it has nothing to do with healing power.
I got it > Adrenal health + inspiring battle standard + healing signet = very good regeneration.

You can try my build , as I think that explosions are the best choice.
http://tinyurl.com/cd7ltc5
With power shoes and speedy kits , no one can catch you while you spamming bombs.
Bomb got the strongest normal attack and the best survivability ( if played well ).
I got 2 pistols just for the sigils as I use the kits more often.( the 3rd and 5th pistol skills are very useful for bombs )

Gizmo.8623:

1) Mutations – for minions and their summoner. That is nothing else than a customisation option – for visual impact and, more importantly – ways that skills work.
For example – mutation for flesh golem to have 4 legs and better armored hide, plus charge skill and more aggro on attack. Or some ugly hive-thing on back which would give him permanent desease/dmg aura.
Blood fiend – let him have 3 heads so he could attack faster but heal for less or let him have one big eye which can heal and stun opponent.
Mutations for playes – axe hand – Let main weapon merge with flesh and bone to have more powerful attacks but lesser range (each weapon could have this option).
Lungs’ methamorphosis – make players able to spit something disgusting but very effective and combo-able with other skills.
This could make MM builds alone very diverse and add usefulness of minions to other builds.
5) Armor should have unique skins for necromancers – combinations of flesh, bone, blood, spider webs, decay

All in all necromancer should feel evil. Mine looks like ambassador of trust and honor Even in all his dark-red-and green colours.

And really, no – whoooosh, whoooosh sounds of attack. Staff should send raging and agonising souls of slain enemies shrieking, screaming, roaring as if they have their flesh ripping from bones.
Necromancer attacking with axe should groan, howl and wail as if only his hatred for living things was giving him strength to swing one more time.

So, these are some ideas to make necromancer a little bit appropriate in my opinon.
If anyone want to add something or discuss, be my guest

Your ideas are really very cool , I support them and ask Anet to consider them in their next update.
And as for armors , there is a skin which has skulls and stuff , but it’s a town clothes ( I’m afraid ) >> male witch outfit , I wear it in cut scenes and it’s awesome.

Casia.4281:

well this is a pve thread…

I was talking about PvE !!!

NickDollahZ.5348:

I love using bomb kit as well. Although haven’t found a way to make it work in pve. Being melee is too dangerous.

Who said any thing about being in melee range and getting hurt ?

Bomb kit is my main weapon , the good thing is that my foes can’t catch me ( thanks to speedy kits and power shoes traits )

Cures.7451:

it heals kitten and its scaling is crap.
sry for my improper first post.

I will repeat my question again and I ask developers or expert players to give me the correct answer.

What is its healing formula ( includes healing power )?

Cures.7451:

its crap :P
_______

I don’t think that " crap " is its formula !!!

What is its healing formula ? and how does it scale with healing power ?
