ive never killed a necro or been killed on my necro because its easy to shut me down. ever. its always because if you dont the necro is going to kill every single one of you when freecrasting.

Tell me: what class leaved alone to freecast on your team is not dangerous?
Yes, a necromancer that freecast on your team is a pain, but also a ranger, a guardian, a warrior, a mesmer, even a dps ele (with high damage AoE).

I don’t focus the enemy necro why is stronger than the other classes if I let him freecast, I focus him why I’m shure at 100% that I’m able to kill him fast and easy, making the enemy team fight in 4v5 for 20+ seconds.

One time I was accorded to my team to leave the enemy necro alive and it was not even able to make us problems. When he vas in RS we just bursted him out and stop, he was not able to inflict any good damage on us, I don’t even noticed any of his damage.

Any other class leaved alone is a more dangerous class than a necromancer. At last a necro can corrupt your boons, nothing more. No good condition damage out of shroud (that is really easy to burst off why don’t have any defensive ability or condi clean, and out of RS5+4 don’t have any good condi skills), no survavibility, no mobility (then can’t steal your points), easy to kill why don’t have any defensive skills, no bunker build, no dps build.

A necromancer is good Only in a Super Organized Team. That’s true. And that’s the Problem.

Boon corrupt build is barely useless in a pug team and we don’t have any other way to make that class useful. medium-Low damage, No survavibility, No mobility, No defensive support.

The BIG problem will be in the Next Season. (even more than in this one)
Why?
Because ANet is making the Ranked section of the sPvP a PUG related game.
Then, we’ll have a class that is Barely good in super organized high level teams that will be forced to play in Pug Only teams.
Wow, our future is gonna Shine!

classes that cant wipe a entire 5man if left alone for a few seconds? all of them can. guess that means necro is balanced huh.calling necro barely good is about as dishonest as you can get. necro is amazing. i love playing it. did you just say necro doesnt have good condi clear? now i know your just straight up lieing. my necro has 3 full condi clears. 1 on staff and 2 in skills. super easy to use all of them and 1 of them has no cast time. you also said necro has no good condi. dude get out with that. necro is the best condi class to date.

i think most everyone has had these matches nowadays right? i know i have.btw the fact you posted your twitter and deviantart shows your just advertising yourself.

Rolisteel.1375:

Don’t lie please, you target necromancers because they are the easiest to shut down with cc’s and easiest to kill. Everyone with brain know that other than that all is crap talking and lies. Putting marks or even using all your skills that barely do any damage as the pvp community play and stack classes that are full of block,evade,miss,invu 100% damage mitigation, stealth, dodge + condi clear and high mobility.

ive never killed a necro or been killed on my necro because its easy to shut me down. ever. its always because if you dont the necro is going to kill every single one of you when freecrasting.

Shame they wont do anything since it’s a HoT thing. Just gives Anet even more ways to push HoT on everyone. Just like how DR’s only exist in base game, but not HoT. Keep it up, Anet.

Having DR in HoT zones would be stupid since every map resets every 2 hours.

And having DR on ALL base game content isn’t stupid? Okay.

do all base game maps reset every 2 hours? no? then it isnt stupid.

Okay my bad, then make it 2 hours for base game as well. DR kicks in WAY SOONER on base.

ill be honest the only map i farm thats not HOT is sw. and since it doesnt have dr on the bags bots farm it all day. they are free accounts and latch on to a single character and copy their every attack and every move.this is why diminishing returns are required. im seeing 5-10 bots per map constantly.of course reporting them does nothing. ill keep doing it anyway

You do know bots can log out, & go to different instances, correct? All this does is effect REAL players. You can never stop bots in any video game out there EVER. The sooner that’s realized the better.

logging out doesnt reset dr. nor does changing instances. its a moot point.

Sthenith.5196:

It’s very clear that regarding most mmo’s, the developers aren’t in touch with a majority of their playerbase. Dev’s implement things in a game that they think is what players want, or would find good, but in reality they have no clue whatsoever what a majority thinks.

All they have to go on is some numbers (if they have those) and what players are saying on forums or reddit. And that is never a good idea since you’ll be listening to a minority.

Just look at The Division, an mmo based shooter. They made huge mistakes and that playerbase has gone down to the point that if it were the same here, there’d be no more Gw2. Fortunately for gw, there’s a more loyal playerbase and more ‘diversity’.

Raiding was introduced because someone suggested it and players here asked for it. Now that it’s there, players complain it’s not worth it or it’s not worth the trouble. Only a minority really enjoys it, and that’s good for them, but for most, raiding isn’t even an option because of various reasons : lack of time, lack of interest, lack of skill….whatever the reason.

I got several pre’s (5) over a period of 3 months or so. Did i make a legendary ? No, i did not. Imo, it wasn’t worth the effort compared to getting ascended, and there was no need for it to be able to play content.

This same reasoning goes for legendary armor. You have to ask yourself that and while you’re at it, consider it as a ‘niche’. Something that might or might not look good, but is , in fact, completely useless for most players.

By the time one might craft/get a legendary armor piece, you could have done a lot of other things that you wouldn’t otherwise consider doing. (like finally finishing all fractal levels, or completing that one rare collection…)

I’d say if you want the gear, and you enjoy raids, go for it. If not, pass it over, and think about this for a second :

*The design team and dev’s worked so hard and long to create legendary armor…for only a handful of people. It’s like creating a Vincent van Gogh painting and having only 5 people look at it twice and sayig ‘ooh, that’s nice.’ *

What a waste.

as someone whos been working hard to get into raids this is my main issue with it. it took so long to develop yet barely anyone is going to be able to get it. thats just stupid.

Stop crying about necro omfg…they’re broken OP condi spammers , just give them slight support and all you’ll see is mark spam+death nova on the point= brainless class

You surely didnt read what I said at all
What good is to know that Necros are “OP” condition spammers if I DON’T use conditions at all ?
You renegade a entire class only because of a pathway ? According to you, since Condition Necromancer is Overpowered, then its perfectly fine for all other type ( Minion Master, Blood and Reaper form ) to be Underpowered ? If so, then what do you say to those type of Necromancers ?

i dont agree with the guy your replying to but in regards to you saying “if i dont play the meta why shouldnt i be competitive?” every class majority of the builds are not competitive. thats entirely your choice to run it. dont expect to be amazing though

Rev is still arguably strongest class, some would argue mesmer competes with it tho

on my rev i cant kill a mesmer of equal skill because most of my attacks have a mind of their own. oh you want to target the real mesmer? here let me hit every single clone once just to make sure.on my warrior? i can kill a lot of mesmers.

Rev is not for 1v1 even tho it has good matchus. The game is rock paper scissors. Don’t be stupid.

“dont be stupid it has a counter” thats what i just said. maybe read next time. wasnt complaining simply noting mesmer is its hard counter. but the class 1v1s everyone else fairly easily.

You used rev dying to mesmer while you can kill mesmer with your warrior as rev ‘is not strong and warr > rev.’

i never said warrior is better than revenant. stop assuming things pls.

brakheart.1407:

Why does Anet have to always focus on pve and screw (over and over and over again) WvW like they have been doing since the game launched?
Every single piece of trash update has come with a lot of pve and expansion stuff and slowly but surely their messing up the little wvw community that’s left in the game.

Is it their goal to leave this game only playable for pve fans?

Lol you stepped into the wrong sub forum with this post, pve players have no sympathy for wvw or spvp. Wvw is done, cannons and it’s bugs were another great example.

For the record, wvw didn’t screw up revs or raiding, anet screwed up on balancing, failing to keep balance in check from new stuff introduced with the expansion.

The game has pvp, it’s balanced around pvp for a reason, you can hand a class 50k damage skills which is great fun for pve, but obviously not balanced in pvp. It’s better to balance skills to the other player classes and then adjust npcs in pve to those classes. Maybe when they figure out and fully implement skill separation they will boost pve to dream number levels.

In the meantime, don’t worry your raid will still be on farm status and you’ll be getting your legendaries soon™.

complains about people having no sympathy for areas of the game they dont play. goes on to do the exact same thing.

Zoid.2568:

Seriously who cares about winning in WvW anyway? Everytime I’m in WvW no one takes it seriously and everyone runs in a main zerg with a commander to conquer castles etc to get xp and some rewards. It’s not like they play WvW to win and just obliterate the other worlds.

WvW is a joke so stop trying to balance it when it doesn’t needs balancing.

honestly the way i see wvw is no skill just numbers. your 1 endure pain doesnt matter when your surrounded by 20 people or more.

TheMSR.7120:

i’d really appreciate an official statement to this topic…
is it like:
We don’t want/ don’t have the time to fix it

or more like
We consider fixing it, but it takes it time (in this case, we can give some ideas on how to fix it… even with regards to efficiency/Object-oriented programming style)

or even
We will fix it eventually… or not. We don’t want you to know, so people can’t make predictions on the economy… it’s a surprise!

… we just want to help, if you are somehow stuck with this…

we really dont need to know if they are going to fix it or not. either they will or wont. theres no reason to know beforehand if they are.

misterman.1530:

Artemis Thuras.8795:

The last balance patch was for wvw.
PvE (Raids) got screwed over by it.

You really are out of touch with what’s going on..

Really? What, exactly? The slight Boon sharing nerf? Necro axe “buffs”? How was the latest balance patch for WvW?

the mesmer and revenant nerfs were both focused around wvw and completely destroyed rev’s rule in raiding but gave mesmers a extra one in return. that nerf was uncalled for in raids yet happened thanks to wvw.

Ayrilana.1396:

Create your own LFG then saying inexperienced players are welcome. Problem solved.

the problem is people arent as dedicated as i am lol. most people quit after 2 or 3 attempts. even when your getting the boss to less than 25% hp. people just quit. and once 1 person quits 5 people go. then its back to square one. teaching people the fight again and again and again.

of course you can bring rev to raids. thats not the issue. the issue is getting a group. whats meta matters. 3 people can kill VG. but are you going to see constant 3 man groups running it? no. you have to be part of the meta to actually play.

Orangensaft.7139:

DH got nerfed only and you complain?
instead you say “it blocked the nerf”

wat xD

did you even read 1 sentence of the DH patch notes??

rev got nerfed too. so did druid. so “dh got nerfed only” pls actually read the patchnotes next time instead of cherry picking.

It’s Legendary. It should be different between Males and Females. That’s Male armor all the way. Big and tough. Female Heavy should be more elegant.

Why can’t males be elegant and females be big and tough? Pretty sexist of you..

pretty disrespectful of you to insult someone else like that. which is against the forum rules.

BlackBeard.2873:

Isn’t it just TERRIBLE that your class has a little more counterplay?!?! ED should instead be unblockable instant damage to be balanced! And EACH heal needs to be as effective as every other classes!

Don’t take into account the stupid burst potential combined with an insane amount of hard mitigation (on a burst class) that allow you to sustain like a bruiser and burst like a thief.

/s

Stop complaining about a good change. Revs still need to have some of their hard mitigation (evades/invulns/blocks, etc.) and stupidly easy burst damage (looking at you sword 2 and surge of the mists cc self-chaining) reduced, and need to be given some more options to cleanse condis reasonably. Revs shouldn’t be competing with thief for primary dps role, they should be competing for bruiser/side-point roles with scrappers and druids thanks to all the defensive capabilities.

I am really surprised how little iteration has happened with rev. skills (base and specialization). They should see more changes than other classes in order to bring them up to par with all the years of tweaking they have had.

it reminds me of the gaurds complaining about their heal getting a slight cooldown increase and claiming the class is rip. yeah right.also i play rev. this heal was barely even used because of how bad it is. id rather just do constant evade frames until my glint heal is back.honestly the amount of sustain i have is just unreal with this class. evade evade evade heal heal heal block block block. and half of my defensive abilities does insane damage too.

Condi warrior is awesome damage. Maybe you should learn to play warrior better? Mace shield sword torch = unstoppable death machine.

i mean id say i play power warrior pretty kitten well. but i am just not a fan of condi. shrugs

power is great, & i am playing rifle/axe atm. however condi is beastly & highly recommend.

the reason i stopped playing condi is the most popular classes can clear it easily. with power i can still kill other warriors and dh’s really easy. while still being able to kill every other class if im decent. where as on condi im limited if a class has a lot of clear like warriors dh’s rangers etc.

This game really went to hell huh, i guess mmo’s just cater to the scummy customer base these days lol

This is not evidence of anything that ANet has done, so it’s not about MMOs catering to anyone, scummy or otherwise.

This is about people who are charging for what they believe is a valuable service, one that costs them time and effort. There are good arguments about whether it’s really all that valuable and about whether it costs much time or effort. But it’s no different than people insisting on payment for porting to hard-to-reach locations or people volunteering to tip folks.

what effort does this cost them?

It’s pretty sick. The things they updated open up quite a few new possibilities, I’m looking forward to it even though I don’t play ele. They’ve gotten boring to fight this past meta.

I can’t think of a class that is less useful and potent than elementalist right now.
The possibilities you have with this class are still the same.
a.If your team is half descent maybe they can carry you.
b.If you want to carry you’ll play another class
c.Thief fodder
d.Mesmer fodder
e.Delete your ele.

P.S f.Revenant fodder

A. Ele carries mid fight with area condi cleanses and healing.
B. Ok
C. Good thief fodder, some thieves will try to interrupt while ele has stacks of stability or magnetic aura and waste their initiative.
D. Really? Condi mes can’t touch ele, and illusions die to overloads after 2 hits.
E. Not even marginally constructive.

F. 100% correct, that’s the rock-paper-scissors combat model we have rn. Not an issue specific to ele, condi mes owns power rev any day.

i only worry if my team has more than 1 ele. same with most classes though. more than 1 mesmer? problem. more than 1 thief? problem. but with 1 ele im happy. as a rev/warrior main i absolutely love the condi cleanse and heals during combat. can turn a fight into our favor assuming the enemy doesnt focus the ele.kinda like necro.

Wow, so now we can’t play with out friends in a competitive environment? What the kitten is happening with this game? It’s become so casual…

LOL if you thought ranked was competitive for teams. SMH

The 20% who voted no are probably the ones who enjoyed pug stomping with their premades.

premades on average lost half of all their games.
hows that pug stomping?

You have official stats to back this up?

Because from my personal experiences whenever I was the solo guy put in the same team as a 4 man premade I won way over 70% of the time. When I was in a full solo or duo team vs a 4man enemy team I lost most of the time. That’s why I voted yes because in my personal data set I was at an advantage when I was in the premade team and a disadvantage when I was not. (even when playing solo)

In absence of clear unbiased data that’s all I can go with.

sorry i cant provide the source. but many others will agree and might have it. anet has said previously that premades only win around half their games. it was 48% or 52% i cant remember.

As expected, it was stupidly unbalanced.

I dont care about what other scrubs say about your post, but this is a legit issue.

What, you don’t like to run 3 Thieves on your team?

better than running against 4 DH’s. 2 full trap and 2 regular. the spam is real.

Nefarius.9702:

As the topic title says, I think the accessibility to raids really is an issue.

That was pretty much my only goal yet, until the legendary armor was previewed.
It simply shouldn’t be that top tier content is limited to a small percentage of players.

And that really is the case – I’m in a large guild and roughly 5-10% are successfully, experienced raiders.

Other people (and I think that’s reflecting in the rest of the gw2 community) simply don’t get into raids – cause of the reasons mentioned above.

You’d have to join a somewhat professional raid guild to be really succesful.

Now i’m gonna teach people who keep saying Raids are inaccessible a lesson real quick here.

You see that LFG tool. Use it.

Here’s what you do
1) Create your own group
2) Label it one of the following things, Inexperienced / Fun / Teaching / Learning run
3) Set you own req for comp & let people know what if any voice tools your using.

You are now the proud starter of a raid group.

Lets stop using this false equivocation that raids are inaccessible, when the cold reality is people whom claim this don’t want to put in the same effort those before them did in building raid groups & learning.

they could just create copys of the raids with much worse rewards yet also much easier. so people can practice the mechanics.

Yes you can sell spots.

People used to charge others for Portals to vistas and JP, same goes for selling dungeon paths.

People sell wins in PvP, people also sell PvP potions to guilds and what not and PvP guilds buy shovels off PvE players… The world goes on.

difference is to sell a dungeon or jp or pvp potions you need to actually go get them. to organize a ab you sit still and watch lfg do the work for you. and when its over? youve still done nothing. dont fall for these lazy people. find a free normal one and do it.

I don’t see any difference to be honest, just for your example, the player doesn’t have the PIPS to sell either but yet people sell wins in PvP. People offer hundreds of gold for a whole division from what I’ve seen in map chat.

they actually have to play to win games for people. where as a commander just sits and practically afk’s and kicks people who dont pay.

the game isnt balanced around pro league bro.

And now they are going to lose players

But there is a pretty big chunk of players who don’t pvp because of the softwall put by premade teams. Those might outweight the number of people that quit

you do know premades only won half the time. which means they lost half the time too.

Thieves got a huge upswing. No doubt they will be the DH of season 5.

Why doesn’t ANET strive for balance instead of making a new class super strong every round? That’s weird and ineffective.

Dw, no half decent thief will run venom share p/p thief build – and it is only thing they buffed in patch, kek. If you see one – enjoy free kill.

or grab a projectile reflect and enjoy letting the thief kill themselves. p/p is always kitten because of that.

this is by far the most powerful and op build a warrior can run at the moment

Azukas.1426:

Yes this is true. There are not enough condi clears in the game for most classes to deal with the condition application.

If people had enough clears to deal with every condi application then condi builds would be unplayable due to not being able to apply damage.

Also condi applying skills can be blocked and evaded just as pure power skills can be. The idea that condi builds somehow have it easier is false and born of salty players not adequately thinking things through.

in the case of warrior instead of only applying a few weak condis (imo) every hit with power hits like a truck. one of the few cases where i disagree with the meta.

i dont think you realize how short .25 of a second is.

MethaneGas.8357:

Oh my god… people and their issues with Flesh Wurm. People STILL say “er me gerd it has such cast time”? Really? Haven’t you learned how to use it already? Flesh Wurm has no cast time.

Misconceptions about wurm (things which are wrong):
1) People kill it all the time
—No one kills it. ESL players, even the top of the top, don’t even attack the wurm. What you need to keep in mind is that the wurm will teleport to you in a 1200 direction towards it. This means you place the wurm before a fight and you can be 100000 miles away from it, but it will still port you in its direction. In other words, the wurm is out of enemy sight.
2) It bugs out all the time
—It bugs out sometimes, but that just takes practice. If you first use the skill, you’ll notice it bug out a lot because you won’t know how it works and what makes it bug. After a while, the skill will work 95% of the time and you’ll know all the safe spots.
3) It takes you the same amount of time to cast the skill as it would take you to walk to the place
-- You need to flip your screen and cast the wurm BACK with the enemy chasing you. He won’t see the wurm behind him. You pop the wurm and bam, you’re 1200 units away from your chaser. Alternatively, pre-cast the wurm before a fight, which you should always, always do.
4) It’s useless as a disengage because everything else teleports to you anyway
—Depends. If a revenant chases you, you need to see which legend he is in. If he’s in Shiro, he may port, but that’s not likely if he needs energy. If you ported away from a Revenant, you can drop marks at your feet. He will port to you and kaboom.
—Thieves can only really catch up fast if they had Steal ready at that exact time. If not, they won’t be able to catch up too quickly and you can throw marks at them while they’re trying to get to you.
—Longbow (but not shield/scepter + sword/focus dragonhunters) have Judge’s Intervention. This is the thing they can catch up to you with, but if they used Judge’s Intervention to burst you in the first place, they won’t have it ready when you port. They could also use sword teleport, but sword’s range is lower than your wurm.

Spectral Walk. Spectral Walk is an amazing kiting tool, especially when used with wurm. Spectral Walk with Spectral Attunement can bring you at a 2000 distance from where you used it, if not more. If you combine it with wurm, you can port 3200 distance. Once again, people don’t see the value of Spectral Walk. I usually use it when I’m seeing that I’m about to get focused (you see several enemies going for you). I start SWalk, use Locust Swarm and use shroud. Jump right into the fight or kite somewhere to lead them on a goose chase. Exit shroud, port back to your original spot which is far from enemies by now, drop staff marks on them while you’re running away even farther.

Personally, I have no problems staying alive as a Reaper or even as a base Necro. The onlyproblem I DO have is the in-sane sustain other classes have, when compared to a Necro. Necro sustain, imo, feels really good but it’s the overpowered sustain of everything else that makes it seem so weak.

You must be superman then because watching pro-league all I saw was the necro being rezzed over and over again. In lower levels of solo play you just die and don’t get rezzed most of the time. Sure if you have an organized team to babysit and rez you over and over again you can have a large effect on the match as a Reaper but to me thats ridiculous lengths to have to go to. But regardless of skill level you will be downed frequently as a necro to deny that and say it doesn’t happen to you all I can say is you are extremely fortunate or lying.

actually the people who won used necro in the reverse. denial from my understanding used a tanky necro to rez everyone else.

In PVP the class isn’t bad, its the players. A good number of the players think that by spec’ing high DPS they are an asset. Which unless they are also good at +1ing and/or good at mobility and/or are good at rotating isn’t true. If you can 1v1 or 1v2 then nice. If you can’t and go full squish and can’t do one of the other things that make the class shine, then not so much. And that’s where it becomes an issue. That said I admit I view staff DD more like melee ranger than thief. But when you get two on the same team that can’t hold a fight alone, that where it hurts. Good hunting.

ill agree with this. went against a 4 man thief condi evade premade. while it was the most cancer and alone would die most the time. they couldnt hold a point against us. it is useless in team fights and the thieves that run it are beyond selfish.

I think the VIP reward is to wear a t-shirt that says “I paid for VIP and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”. I might be wrong though.

@OP, that sounds a bit like a scam.

it is a scam and its slowly killing ab multiloot. not that i care. but my guild is running them constantly for free

My suggestion is to allow to que the MM only by roles. healer,dps, and tanky.

So when the match pops. Both teams will have 1 healer 3 squishy dps not tanky like in current meta, squishy like a focused necro and 1 class that can do tanking stuff. Class swap disabled. Changing role you queue with inside the match disabled. Thats how the matchmaking should work in my opinion. After that change we shouldn’t end up playing against close to unkillable comps with too high dps. Currently we have matches where: Team A: Unkillable + high dps Team B: Squishy + 0 dps.

this game had no trinity sistem
and almost every profesion can do 2 or 3 of the roles
a ranger can be a healer, a tank or a squishy dps (the clasic powerranger)
a guardian can be a healer(not the best but can) a tank or run a burner in viper and be a very squishi dps
a warrior same a bad healer going whith a shout build, a tank or a dps
etc etc
how you implement the suposet role restriction

according to anets recent post we now have a dedicated healer. so

It isn’t pure cancer. It has a counter, but it is more difficult to use than others so peeps call it OP. I do not play condi thief.

In reference to the photo, what were the team comps lol

Wat? . O this is a good one, what exactly is so difficult about pressing 3 and V?

Haha, it isn’t difficult spamming Death Blossom and Dodge.
Now give me the quote where I said it was hard.

“but it is more difficult to use than others”

I too, am waiting for Halloween.

Lol. Well, Halloween is fun, but I was thinking more along the lines of getting cheesed off at the changes and not wanting to have wasted real $ on gems prior to them.

:)

we dont like this kind of negativity around here.
