Guild Wars 2

Thank you They are hashes, brilliant thread, and thank you JP for a Red on all the Necro issues.

I am almost certain that they are holding out on fixing necros this update because of the sheer amount of update that needs to be done, and that we can expect fixes soon. I gagged a little when I read the update notes myself. I’m happy to wait as I have convinced myself they are going to give us a big fix soon, but they are making me stupidly nervous by not saying anything about what they plan on doing. The silence is killing me.

I am also hoping for some changes, or at least a reply from ANet. I reckon they are probably working out what they are going to do to fix the profession at the moment, and that we should hear something soon.
And yes, it’s too bad about the negativity flying around. I get where people are coming from, but chill.

Got to be honest, to call them useless seems a bit harsh. You have to remember that a lot of people play this game for reasons other than dominating in PvP or PvE. They may not havee a use to you, but they do add something to the game. As a random example, the jagged horror. My girlfriend thought it was awesome when the little guy popped up out of the ground when she killed something on my necro. Its fun. She plays the game to enjoy it, and she finds that fun.

I understand that from a PvP perspective for instance, it sucks that the horror doesn’t spawn and end worlds. Okay, over the top, but I get it, it does suck that the minion isn’t a bit more useful. You just have to remember that not everything is designed and placed in the game to make huge differences.

I have read a few of your topics and opinions across the forums OP, and I know you want to see changes happening to the Necro soon. Give ANet a chance? The game is new and exciting and before they rush into anything give them a chance to get the full picture, as opposed to just changing little things here, there and everywhere and possibly makes the imbalance worse.

They will get around to balancing things up and when they do, it will be successful. GW1 PvP is a perfect example of that.
