Guild Wars 2

1st – Why Queensdale ?

2nd – Won’t it be better(cheaper) if I just sell the rares / masterworks and buy the cheapest fine items for salvaging ?

Is it by salvaging Fine items ? what about masterwork ones ?
Which Salvage kit should I use ( does it matter ) ?

Was hoping for minions buffs/tweaks

Invictus.1503:

I’ve agreed with this in other threads. I’ve posted my own thread some time ago in the suggestions forum (where this belongs btw). Now I’ll agree again in this thread.

I think that this topic is in the right section !
Suggestions section is for new ideas and items . Tribial armor isn’t new and it was in GW2 months ago !

Halloween is the best event ever !!
I’m waiting the new outfits and items.

I agree
But will Anet listen to us ?

BTW ( it’s not just minions , but all summons )

Bhawb.7408:

They’re wrong. MM builds do need a bit of help, but they are pretty good right now, flat buffs to anything but a bit of AoE resistance would be over the top.

I’m a MM since gw1 , I still think that it’s the best build ever.
But we should equal conditioners and bursters !

Bhawb.7408:

The exception being any conditions they apply, which scale with your condition duration and (for damaging conditions) your condition damage.

!!
Minions don’t apply condition damage ( don’t mention death nova as it’s not a minion’s skill )

But most necros say that MM build is weak and both condition and power builds are way stronger !
That’s why we need these " flat " buffs ! so that MM build equals condtion and power builds.

Bhawb.7408:

2 – I don’t think this should be implemented. This would make minions far too sustainable. They just need to introduce minions into the game that support the “keep minions up all the time” playstyle, but the current minions are way too strong to have a bunch of survivability added in.

3 – This really changes their mechanics as is (they are single target except for actives), and would be too much of a damage increase unless they nerfed damage to compensate, and you can’t nerf their damage to give them cleave. Again, they could introduce a new minion with cleave, but that is another story.

As for the healing , did you forget that we got such a skill in gw1 ? ( http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Blood_Bond ). I would be happy if they add similar skill.

I will be satisfied if they changed Shadow and bone fiends active attacks to AOE ( AOE damage , not blind and immobilize ) , but our dagger should get cleave attacks instead.

Hi guys , I know that there are hundreds of topics talking about this issue , but Anet doesn’t care ( didn’t try to fix them ).
1st – You should give them AOE resistance ( along with all summons ).
2nd – Give them the ability to heal them selves via Vampiric master trait.
3rd – Some of them should have normal cleave attacks.
4th – All minions should regenerate after each battle , not just flesh , shadow and bone fiend.
Finally – Give the minions UL back as it was in GW1 !

Rockas.4123:

I want:
(Name) Give suggestions for name.
Stab yourself to gain 10%/20%/50% Life Force.
Self Damage: 15% of current amount of Health.
Inflict Bleeding and Weakness on yourself.

How does that sound?

;)

Well , it will be bad unless Anet give us the ability to heal our selves while in DS ( LS )

Exactly
Traits and boons are the only ways

Well , to be honest , I think that we are OP
I use MM build in both PvE and PvP and capable to kill many players at once ( camping )
http://tinyurl.com/opjsdrw
I think that MM build is the strongest one , if some necros are noob and can’t handle their army , they can’t judge them and say that they are weak/bad.
And again , if you mastered any build . you will see your self OP

As Stx said , you can only increase their damage +30% and HP +50% via traits.
But they also benefit from boons such as fury and might.

bump !
Anet ? any reply ?

Again , can any developer tell us why did they remove these armors ?

Bhawb.7408:

New minions, both on off-hand weapons and on utility slots. Need Jagged Horrors that you can actually summon without trait/lich, condi minions, and tank/self sustain minions. Vampiric Horror that life steals for itself, a minion with really high eHP and low DPS, minions that give more condition damage based utility.

Also I want to see Orders (like auras but based on attacking), and HP cost skills.

Best suggestions in the entire topic

Celtus.8456:

Yes I’m with you on this. Anet keeps creating new skins (for $), yet the players are still unable to attain all of the skins that were released with the game.

(I believe this set is called ‘masquerade’ in pvp locker?)

Yea it’s masquerade , still waiting Anet reply !

Developer ? Game designer ? Any reply from Anet ?

I do dungeons via MM necro , I save my party ( by being the last man standing ).
I wish that Anet add new weapon ( Torch ) that allow us to summon 2 AOE flaming minions.
And for God’s sake , give us cleave attacks ( dagger ) !!!

No one beats a charr with a skull mask !

No one beats a charr necro with skull mask

I have an 80 asura necro , created new charr necro just to get the skull mask.
Skins don’t look well on asura ( dwarf ).

Don’t say that there are other topics about that as we need to bump this topic !

Tribial armor looks too awesome on necros ( memsers and rangers too )
Give it back to make it usable in both PvE and PvP , you can put it in the gem store if you want.
Anet , why did you remove this armor in the first place !? Give us the reason !

Anyone ? any supporter ?

Really Anet ?!
We tried hard to get the meta reward then we discover that > its effect is just for 5 mins with 30 mins cooldown !

I suggest that you change it so it will be Infinite use without any cooldown .

’m a MM ( in both gw1 and gw2 ).
I got 5 80es characters ( MM necro , trapper ranger , demolisher engineer , cleric guardian , signet/shout/banner warrior ).
I think that MM is the best one and I’m the last man standing in dungeons.
In PvP , I can kill any one ( I killed 4 players at once while camping ).
You just need to know how to control them and keep them alive.
My build >> http://tinyurl.com/opjsdrw
Soldier armor will grant you much Toughness and some Vitality so you won’t worry if they killed ur minions.
begin the fight with staff ( land all marks ) then switch to dagger/focus ( you will get might when switching ) , use 4th and 5th skills , 3rd to immobilize your foe , transform to DS and use 5th skills and 3rd ( to increase 5th skill damage by 200% ) , after that use 4th skill to heal your minions , 2nd to tele to your foe , return to your normal form and spam dagger chain attack , then switch to staff …… and so on.. ( This is how I play )
(Remember that Dagger chain attack is the strongest attack for necros even than axe )

What ?!
Minions are OP not weak ! It depends on the player ( if he mastered the build or not )
They are not buggy ( minions AL has been totally fixed ) , but I agree about thier skin.
I mentioned before that we should get the ability to change thier skins ( could use twisted minions skins )

Traited Flesh Golem is the best !

Wow , so when traited it will be >>
~15k HP for Utility minions
~18k HP for Blood Fiend
~19.5k HP for Flesh Golem
Not to mention their toughness

Thanks bro , I always wanted to know my army HP
But…
Didn’t you forget Bone Fiend , Shadow Fiend and Wurm ?
Did you use +50% minions HP trait before testing them ?

Bhawb.7408:

Taste of Death would be 100000000000000000000000000000000000000x better if we had minion HP bars on our UI.

I agree

Bhawb.7408:

Sarrs.4831:

If I were to give Shadow Fiend any position, I’d probably put it into a Fetid Consumption build. Bone Minions aren’t really minions that can capitalise on Fetid Consumption as chances are they won’t live long enough to actually proc it, but the Shadow Fiend is one that you keep out permanently and I think has the tankiness to survive direct attacks as well as the conditions that it eats.

Haunt, though, is absolutely rubbish and really the animation should be either instant (like pretty much every utility you use primarily for blinding) or something tiny like .5 sec.

Again, though, I’m like rank 28 so don’t take what I say too seriously. I don’t even know how much HP Shadow Fiends and Bone Minions have.

All minions with the 50% higher HP trait sit higher than base HP for players on the lower HP classes (or very close), with some of them breaching 20k HP. I haven’t done all the testing though, I might do that today if I get time. But yeah, they are actually quite strong in that sense.

Haunt is great in the right build. I use it in my Fetid Consumption/Death Nova super tanky build. But even then, I never drop Bone Minions from my bar. The healing on siphon (triggers on Putrid Explosion for every person hit), the extra condition they take while alive (2 vs 1), and most importantly the big burst and downed pressure with their damage/poison field is awesome. I find it very, very hard to leave them out of any of my builds.

Back to Haunt though, it just needs its animation time reduced, and if necessary damage to compensate. But its just way too slow. Other than that I actually really like the ability, a blind plus massive LF gain every 20 seconds.

And Fetid Consumption is God mode against many sustained damage builds. 4 Rune of vampirism + 2 melandru, fetid consumption, dagger off-hand, full minion bar (including Blood Fiend), and you’re looking at massive condi removal, and massive HP regen.

I don’t recommend Fetid Consumption at WvW as it will draw allies conditions instead of yours specially in zergs ( according to wiki ).

striker.3704:

I disagree with the above statements. Minions die pretty quickly and don’t “tank” for you. Most boss attacks are indiscriminate when it comes to targets. The only time when a minion can noticeably tank for you as far as I’ve seen in my 800 MM necro hours, is the lupicus fight as he’ll sometimes target minions with his abilities (which is great because it takes a lot of pressure off your party).

With that in mind I find tanky gear is best paired up with minions. My personal preference is soldiers, but if you want to still deal extra damage I guess knights is good too. You can run zerker gear, but If you’re going to use zerker gear you might as well run a death shroud build.

You should try to keep in mind that full zerker parties only work for a party of very good players. Any pug group of full zerker (outside of CoF) will get stomped on and wiped pretty easily. Having that survivability is really useful for these situations.

I totally agree with you
I use full soldier gear with this build http://tinyurl.com/opjsdrw
You don’t want a zerger in MM build as your foe will die in sec anyways ( when your army is alive ).
But if you have zerger and they died , your chance to get killed will be too high,
The difference between zerger and soldier is criticals , which isn’t important that much as you just have one skill that noticeably affected by criticals which is Dagger chain attacks. Soldier gear increases your armor and vitality ( your downed and DS pools too ).

Bhawb.7408:

Haters be hatin up in this thread.

Minions are fine for dungeons, so long as you bring them into the right dungeon. Some dungeons have really anti-minion mechanics, some are just fine. Its all down to the dungeon itself. If your minions are always dying and you’re not in one of the supercrazymassAoE dungeons you’re not a good MM.

I agree , but they should master the MM build before judging it. I mastered it
A good MM necro knows how to keep his minions alive and affective.

It’s also a primary weapon for MM.

I agree , at least we will have cleave attacks
I think that F2 traits should be merged with F1 ones.

I think that Warrior with healing shouts /perma banner regen will be the best to play with MM necro as his minions will be healed all the time.

I think they could forego lore for skins.

My idea exactly , I beg Anet to give us the ability to change our minions skins , I will gladly pay money for it ( gems ).

Twisted minions ( not the champion robot ) will be very impressive as " Advanced necro minions "
BTW , I like your opinions and ideas at most of your replies and topics

Well , I’m a MM and I love my build too much.
You didn’t tell us about your utilities , if they are minions , I advise you to take the most important trait which is Training of the master ( spite ). Focus will be more useful for MM build specially with Spiteful Talisman trait ( spite ). To keep your self along with your minions live , you should take Transfusion trait ( Blood ).

I know that I must get full soldier gear from dungeons ( farming ) or via WvW badges ( farming and its too hard to get 860 badges just for accessories !)

Wow , I was going to create a topic about that ( u did it :p )
When I saw the twested creatures yesterday , I wished that Anet make most of ( if not all ) our minions skins as same as the twisted ones as they are cool and perfect.

Softspoken.2410:

It depends really heavily on your charr’s horns and fur colour, in my opinion. For the one in that video I’d pick skull over demon, but I chose demon for mine (beige & dark red / maroon fur) and have never regretted it. But then, I knew he was going to be in dark reds forever.

I’d recommend Skull: it works with most any look, and is pretty traditional. Any idea of the overall aesthetic you want to use with your Charr?

Ty
As for the fur , I will make it yellow with black tiger marks. Horn will be as always ( got another 2 charrs ) which is Razor sharp horn.
Like that >>

Hi guys , I’m planning to replace my ele norn with Charr necro ( to see the effects on my best class > will level it to 20 via a scroll ) But I’m not sure what mask should I wear in level 80 > thats why I created it in the first place ) This is the video , check it and tell me , should I pick skull or demon ? http://youtu.be/XV9tSTq77F4?t=10m40s
Ur opinion is very important as both of them are awesome ( just on charr )
I got an asuran necro ( level 80 ) , but found out that all gear effects are too small which is bad.

I want this armor !!!
It’s the best one that will fit my asuran necro !

without considerin gvulneravility yes…

and.. you use minions on WW? doent they just melt in te zergs?
(just asking no pun intended) just wanna know

bro , I don’t think that I mentioned WvW !
I was talking about both PvE and PvP , of course in zerg attacks even players will melt
I think that MM is a god in both PvE and PvP ( just when you master the build ).

What about Hight lv Fractals? like.. Shaman? or the clift one?

According to Wiki , pets share their agony resistance with thier owners.
If pets include minions so they are perfect , if not ( you should change your build when entering fractals ) . btw , I don’t do fractals with my MM necro.
