Ya its really sad right now the state of Necros. They are fun to play in PvE but once you fight another class in PvP you realize how bad they are. Some of the blame can be placed on minion AI, half the time my Flesh Golem is literally standing there watching me get my butt handed to me instead of attacking. Also why do pet skills take forever to trigger?
When GW1 came out there was almost nothing to do after reaching level 20. About the only thing going was to go around and collect new skills which got old pretty quickly. I think you need to remember that GW1 has years of expansions added to the original game. This game is MASSIVE for an initial launch and people just need to play some sPvP or WvW until more content is out.
Qtin you realize that instead of trying to deathblow thieves you can just attack them to death on the ground right?
On topic, currently I think the p.whip/heartseeker thieves and the 2 axe/GS warrior are OP. there is a reason these two classes are >50% of any sPvP match.
I am going to assume most of the people who dont like the downed state are playing Heartseeker/P.Whip thieves or 2Axe/GS warriors and are mad that their OP damage doesnt 100% carry the day… just like 95%.
People like thief and warrior currently because they are EZ mode in PUG pvp. Frontload a bunch of dmg hit your easy CC and 1-shot.
The game has been out for three weeks and it sounds like you put in 150+ hours at least into it. Most people dont have this kind of time to sink into a game. I think you are going to have to spvp, wvw pvp or just play something else for awhile. People in your boat are in the EXTREME minority.
This is the same complaint about every new MMO that comes out… no endgame no endgame. What kind of endgame do people want? A new expansion every month with 2 weeks of content, which for these people needs to be like 100+ hours minimum.
Maybe get a job? A SO? Play something else?
Warriors and Thieves are kind of OP right now. They can both be specced multiple ways to CC then drop someone in seconds. I am going to conclude that OP is just trolling.
This game is already much easier than many MMOs for melee due to the ability to actually dodge projectiles. Any easier and you may as well delete ranged classes all together.
