most people dont :D, it reduces both power and condi damage.I dont even think its mentioned anywhere other then wiki, the only reason I know becouse i am autistic and google shit like that lolFun fact, if you get hit for 5k, it shows as 5k in the log but you lost 2,5k shroud. so its understandable that most people dont know about it.It should be mentioned.

The damage log is not a representation of the actual damage done?

If you lose to full bunker punching ball core necro, maybe you deserve it :)

Yea, Lich form does no dmg at all. And, since they are not killable, they play overtime, in where they have huge advantage: no heals but can have shroud. Its still retarded af after the nerf.

Lich is doing about 2.5k +/-500 dmg if you play carrion and defensive amulet. LoS or condi damage is enough as counter for this 150s Elite. Imagine why no one is using Lich in ATs? You have several counterplay options vs bunker core necro if you learn how to fight them.

Best way to learn how to play and counter necromancer:

Step 1: Create a necromancerStep 2: Look up a build or ask someone on core.step 3: Go pvp and practice with it.

Shroud is necromancers strongest defense. The nerfing of it and gutting will kill necromancers offensively and defensively.

IF so why not make suggestions to improve rather than flat out gut? Cutting necro more in defensive will just flat out make it unviable for SPVP.

Killing its defensive is a bad idea.

What we need then is a separation of defensive and offensive, because doing what Flandre says woul.d kill necro offensively and defensively and make them unviable in all PVP formats.

Necro could use some changes to life force probably, but Its a fat chance in hell that we will get the kinda overhaul and it will probably just be a flat nerf into unviability and punching bag territory where it won't be seen in plat2 or up anymore.

So many things need to be changed like: Staff boon corruption atm could see some minor tweaks in improvements warhorn has the stuff to improve dagger.

Then there is dealing with death magic after these nerfs, which I'm not sure if it is or not viable, but for condi necro and power we need to remain in similar level of difficulty to kill, or we die too soon and face the problem of needing to be babysat 24/7 which is why I'm so harsh against nerf threads for the necro because necro lives on a fine line of inviability and overpowered state.

The problem is also I don't know if those who complain are talking about 2v2 which is supposedly not the main mode and 5v5 and balancing 2v2 and 5v5 is a tough thing.

If you nerf necro for 2v2 you might make them free kills in all mode.

Remember the effects of nerfs for scourge for WVW hitting pve really hard? yeah, I do.

They seriously need playtesters to fix this annoyance of people Q_Q and decide: Are they gonna nerf anything cried about? or are they going to actually playtest and decide what should stay and go? This goes back to the whole thing with warlocks in WOW.

They nerfed resto warlocks who were Destro locks and made them for a year or so really easy free kills and nerfed the sustain because of QQ but couldn't decide what they wanted, then locks complained because they got the bad end of the stick as usual. Warlocks btw were complaining too that destro locks were boring to play just as loudly as others were complaining that warlocks were immortal. Warlocks you see(Resto locks) had almost no damage but were practically invincible and standing around while people walked around them trying to kill everything else.

Warlocks wanted their sustain cut but mobility returned, and damage returned, and people wanted their sustain cut. The problem I have is Its hard to actually tell who has an agenda and just wants said class nerfed at times so they can win easy. I get the feeling the guy who made this thread doesn't really want a challenge, but I could be wrong, and this really leaves ANET with an issue: Who do you really listen to? everyone? or just a few people? I know that most of the time dadnir is looking out for necro and zdragon, but others i'm not putting it against them to complain about something and ask for nerfs because its annoying or they can't win.

Look at some of the nerf threads for mesmer, you prob have faced people who genuinely wanted specs gutted like mirage complaining about evades, and you prob told them that it was a bad idea to nerf so and so and class would prob need an overhaul to keep them viable if you nerf said thing.

It really doesn't help either the fact necros are supposed to be tanky with little to no mobility and ports and they got little to no ports and mobility few cc and only 2 evades from stamina bar. I seriously don't know if anet can get over their stubborness of certain things about necro and decide to make actual changes, maybe if everyone in the game screamed overhaul necro over and over and ask for changes to make separation of sustain and offensive tools without killing them, and even then they would probably mess it up or not do it.

I was apparently talking about the 2v2, where a little bit competent players would use it when opponents burned some defensive CD. Note that it fucking hits 2-5k, ranged, and very fast attach speed. Eating 2 hits already puts you in a huge disadvantage. Moreover, in 2v2, the annoying thing is its messing power and fear, while the other one deal dmg.

But w/e, keep defending this braindead class. Who cares. At least the devs dont care.

@"Crozame.4098" said:It really amazing that players are defending this class. Amazing.

It's not so amazing people who truly love their class defend it and try to get it improved.

People with an agenda try to get it gutted because it's too hard/its annoying.

It would also be better if we had more honest people out there who weren't out there just to gut a class they don't want to learn to fight or have an agenda because they hate such and such class.

There are necros who want changes but they want it in the right way because ultimately it hurts their experiences if it gets changed for the worse and ruins their fun.

If for instance, I'm playing druid see it gutted, I, of course, get mad and complain on the forums about it being nerfed. If it's a flat nerf no I won't accept it and nor will a lot of necros, because of anger towards "our spec" being turned into a free kill.

There is anger and outrage because for years necro was free kill and finally its viable and some want it to go back to where it's useless without a group and easily killed.

If its a overhaul to improve the class nerfing it some places buffing it others so the game is overall better? Sure that's great.

If you want to discuss why necro is problematic and why it is on the fine line of overpowered underpowered and ask for overhaul so it can perform well without being perceived as op? yes pls, but if its just necro OP nerf all please make it easy kill then no, I don't think anyone should listen to anyone proposing any idea like that about any class, because it's preposterous and incredibly selfish. Reason people criticize mr flandre is because he sounds like he doesn't know the class or understand, and he doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about.

If you talk to the main rangers players trevor boyer for instance and some others they can tell you what needs overhauled because they understand it, and people who really play ranger will understand it better than someone who doesn't, and some won't have the care or passion on what goes on besides the chances they want nerf said thing take it away. Take for instance nerf of rangers maul for instance: To me, 10k is fine for a melee attack that has to be buffed to do that. IF warr/ele/Mes/thief has similar? that's fine because they still need to deal enough damage to kill someone through their sustain, and even if you nerf necros sustain you still have to deal with other people's sustain such as guardians and warrior dealing enough to kill. 16k, however, is not ok and is out of line I think.

There needs a deeper analysis of how necro works than just kneejerk nerf this or that because many times ANet has missed the mark. It's not the first time they nerfed the wrong thing and nerfed it too hard leaving the class still op but weak in one area more than they should. Also even if a person is at ranked and good, I wouldn't put it against human nature because yes there are sociopaths out there who look out for their own interests and don't care about how it affects others, which is why until I see a video and see deep analysis, I think this can be ignored. As I said, you can miss something in interaction with a class, for instance when I was facing herald rev I didn't know what I was seeing because I saw a bunch of flashing colors and it all happened fast and some stuff had very little flashy effects. If you actually know what you are looking at, like when I described attacks from reaper and core, then you can say at least this person is describing a said thing,

If you want to nerf necro at least make sure it doesn't kill necro completely off and make it free kills, i mean its bad enough they lost sustain.

Necro has easy hard counters, can be kited and CC'd into oblivion, and bad players make mistakes either way. You just won't be one-shotting necros with meme power builds again any time soon.

Well said^ one issue I people usually think like this when it's their class being qq's about then turn around and attack other classes in same manner ur describing. Not saying u do.Necro definitely needs its sustain lowered so its shroud isnt the annoying oh u out played me well have fun trying to kill me for 2 mins while I go back and forth through shroud carry mechanic that it is now lol. Whatever buffs need to come to it to allow for this to be nerfed I'm on board :)

Core condi necro can do Extremely dumb condition numbers.If you are out of stunbreaks and your stab is transformed in fear, and he gets the fear chain you are lost in condi numbersGonna point out that Tainted Shackles is only 8 stacks of torment if all 4 pulses hit. Terror is about 1k per tick. Nothing to scoff at for sure, but I'm not sure I'd call it a condi bomb. If you got hit by more than that it was probably from condis on the Necro being transferred with Putrid Mark or Plague Sending.

Only really condi bomb from Core Condi is the last few ticks of Plaguelands.
