Hard to take that seriously with your foot note
That was for a ele on BG, he was claiming to be the best roaming ele.
Tired of skill carrying the class.
Yeah, me too. I should log into my characters and the game should flawlessly play itself while I watch and have a hot cocoa.
(True story: I sometimes do this in PvP. Spectating is a great way to learn. So I do appreciate the option!
)
If you read my post, I was saying that you could be the most skilled player in the world, but still get beat by a 5 year old on a prismatic understanding mesmer just spamming his skills. The professions need to be balanced closer, not saying just for 1v1’s.
They do provide burst if they are geared properly, but as far as they other 2, they do lack. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, that my ranger does more burst damage than my warrior with equal gear and both traited for sheer damage.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen some of the warriors out there, full zerker gear with max dps. Yet, still have stances to laugh at conditions/dps and get in, bust someone down, and run away laughing.
Some people will say that Rangers are easy targets, cannon fodder, or rallybait; I’ve played against nearly all servers and currently reside in T1. That statement, just isn’t the case.
T1 has nothing to do with skill, sorry. When roaming in my normal group, if there’s a zerker ranger, which you do notice pretty quick because of the dps, we target them and down them before they can do any real damage. For zerker rangers to be able to do damage, they have to be left alone. Any pressure on them and they are not doing any dps anymore.
They can do burst, and even an untraited spirit ranger provides excellent group utility. A traited one provides unparalleled party support.
A traited and untraited one together is almost OP.
Spirit rangers in WvW are a joke. I’ve tried them many times. However, with the nerfs to spirits they are even worse. (the interrupt nerf that is) Spirits die to all the aoe every other class brings to the table, so they are out of the fight in a matter of seconds.
Also, I believe they nerfed the two spirits stacking, traited and untraited.
I have some good fights with spirits though, before the nerf.

Are you in this video? Think you guys should change your guild name, wiped you 3-4 times, you dropped a lot of bags.
Nope
I hope you don’t think you are good now… I mean congrats on stomping the guard once and then running from the second fight? Your video definitely doesn’t back up your claims and I’m assuming you put in your best footage… Anyways, if you would like to set up a 3v3 or 5v5 we are more than happy to be there.
Apparently wiping us 3-4 times to them means stomping the guard twice and not killing anyone else. For some reason that necro decided not to include in the video the 1v1 he had with our thief where he got wrecked, or the time that all three of them got wiped.
So since you all died and i never did, thx for the bags?
We did wipe all of you the first fight. We don’t record a lot of fights because they are too easy.
The only time you killed all 3 of us, was when it was 3v6+ and you chased the ele/guardian through the ruins.
Also, if you can read those word things in the video, the necromancer was testing a new build out for group healing.

Looks like you lost a 3 v 5 and are trying to save face.
Show me the 5 bags members… please.
This is where that special “guild wars 2 counting” comes into play. If they’re not in my guild, they don’t count.
“We 3v3’d you! The 4-5 other people that jumped in weren’t in our guild, they don’t count!”
ITS OUR TURN BABY!
this video can explain to you exactly whats going on.PS: diamond skin has not shut down the necromancer class, just the necromancer condi builds. (just so that is clear)
Please tell me when was the last time a power Necro killed an Ele.
Especially given the fact we can no longer Chill, Cripple or Fear you to catch up with your mobility.You’re thinking a little too simple tho darling. Baby you gotta think outside the box. What you’re feeling right now is similar to what i was feeling when eles got nerfed and other professions got buffed. I was forced to think outside the box, and experiment.
There is no “outside the box” here. Necros have no hard CC outside of the three conditions I listed (plus one Immob, which is also a condition). A dagger Necro simply cannot stay on any Ele with a pulse long enough to do damage.\
I don’t care that they nerfed condition damage builds. I care that they nerfed the few skills Necros had that could let them land damage/prevent escapes.Yea, you shouldve heard me in the forums when eles got nerfed. Its all part of the cycle man. You’re soon going to realize that this is intended, that it’s eles time to shine, and that necros time to shine is coming to a close now. That doesn’t mean that necros are going to be completely useless, cause i stuck it out with ele and in a few weeks i found something half-way decent to carry me through to this patch. If you dont like the type of balancing anet does, that means theyre actually succeeding. Thats just the nature of imperfect balancing.
I’m well aware that Ele’s have suffered. But an eye for an eye leaves the world blind.
I’m not asking for the removal of Diamond Skin. You can keep it – but a version that doesn’t ruin everything Necros are about.fortunately you have attacks that do damage and damage is what counters diamond skin. if the ele is outhealing you, that means hes full bunker and he cant kill you anyway. if he IS killing you, that means he is zerk spec and you’re power necro builds are going to rip him apart. give the meta some time to shift.
That’s the whole point though. If we can’t catch the Ele, we can’t do any damage. I’m not asking for a removal of the trait – keep your bleed, poison, burning and torment immunity. Condi spam is OP, so that’s valid. But my snares aren’t what kills you, they’re what allows me to actually be able to fight.
think of something. That’s on you. adapt to the gameplay is all i can say. i need to go to bed, ill visit this forum tomorrow to talk some more. peace
Translation: There is no counter – I want your class to be complete trash because mine was.
yup. like i said, eles time to shine.
and you’re very right in thinking that im going to enjoy the hell out of steam-rolling every single necro i run into. its going to be a necro-slaughtering for the next few months. i love it, and every second i will cherish it.
Ele’s have every right to their time in the spotlight. But if it comes at the expense of another profession, you may need to re-evaluate your definition of balance.
It counters a very specific build, and one that sorely needed a counter at that. If every necro is using one build as your post implies, then that means one of two things: There’s a lack of build diversity, or the build the necro is using is OP as all sin and needed a counter. Since power necros are definitely a thing, the latter is likely true.
Every build needs a counter. If you don’t want to adapt to this counter to condi tanks, that’s not the developer’s fault.
It’s a sign of horrible balance in a game when one trait can cancel out a whole professions build.
