I love my Necromancer but....

Hi there, I really do love my Norn Necromancer but I cannot stand the line "Go Fodder Go!" when she summons a minion. Minions are not fodder they are my allies in battle, so please please please Get Rid Of That Line!!!!Also I would love to make a charr character but I do not like the way they run, why can't our characters run on two legs like some of the NPC characters around!At least make It an option so people can choose!

Thanks

Seeing how Norns care on how their pets are treated or act or hurt as a Ranger, and then from what you said on Necro... they technically see the Minions as just "well I can make a new one anyway". As it's not something the Norn is attached to.

As for Charr, they do run on 2 feet when they have their weapon out. The thing is they're faster when they run on all 4s. Why would they limit their speed and mobility for the sake of "acting humanoid"?While yes in game mechanics they don't run faster, the idea is they do lore-wise.

Necromancers aren't typically portrayed as warm and caring people. Even living things are treated as trivial to necromancers in almost every story that involves one. It makes sense that GW2 would continue that trend. Its part of the appeal of necromancy for a lot of people. The most sympathy you'll hear from them in this game is the human line "No! I hand raised that minion! " when one dies. And thats not an indication that the caster was sad for their minion, but that someone had the audacity to ruin the necromancer's hard work.

The minions ARE fodder, though. When you summon one, you're making a new one each time, knowing they're disposable. If it really does bother you that much, you could try changing to a male Norn; they don't call the minions "fodder".

The hero we needed out of the game as fast as possible.

Wait what? Trahearne was a necromancer?

@Veprovina.4876 said:Wait what? Trahearne was a necromancer?

Yup. He even raises a small army of flesh golems for us in one personal story instance.

Sylvari in general are the exception to the cold nihilistic necromancer stereotype. Because they're a new species not even old enough to experience death from natural causes (the first born Sylvari are around their late 20's or early 30's now I think). So they're very naive and utterly fascinated with the concept of life and death. Pretty much the opposite of the necromancer stereotype who is usually very cynical and depressing.

Plus, that wiki link someone posted above shows the Sylvari dialogue, and it seemed much nicer than everyone else's

Switch off player voices. You'll feel much better without all the annoying chatter.

Not just that he was the first Reaper since Calagbolg was a 2 H Sword.
