Since Anet kittened up the key settings i cant jump with the mounts. cant start flying on skyscale and stuff. I already rebinded mount skill 1 and so on. but still cant jump on mounts. so how can i fix this? Does anyone know?

After testing it in wvw i like the spear design.
Positiv:
1. necro gets a new anti boon mechanic on 5th skill. since necro got a lot of nerfs too boonhate in the past, it feels good to get a weapon that is giving a new option on the table for countering this boonspam meta. very helpful and with good impact with its current numbers imo.
2. soul shards as life leech mechanic offer offensive and defensive power. if you hit your rotation with 6 soul shards i got massive dmg burst on my opponents while healing like 4-5k lifepoints with the 2nd spell (perforate).
3. the spear design is build around perforate (2nd spell). this spell offers and strong offensive burst with multiple hits. so its not easy to counter it with just aegis or blind. therefore it has high probability to hit at least some of its dmg and effects.
4. reset mechaincs for 2nd and 4th spells offer high potential if you play clean rotations vs your opponents.
5. mobility: the chase mechanic via the 4th spell (isolate) is great and remembers me on core death shroud 2nd spell. it gives you very good options to pressure your opponents while teleporting in some spells like reaper ult
open potential:
1. the visiblity of soul shards for opponents is very low (just an icon in boonbar). maybe there is a visual effect needed, to show the effect and stacks more clear for the opponents. (for example: some dark green energy balls flying around you)
2. the 2nd spell (perforate) should be refreshed when hitting 4th spell( isolate) not just after reactivating and porting. that way you would get more flexibility in playing out different skill rotations
3. the 5th skill is kinda slow, maybe reduce pre casttime a little
4. LF regen is a little low
overall:
this spear is very strong in my tests (wvw) and offers very good sustain and dmg via soul shards mechanic ( i hope it will remain in its current state). the anti boon mechanic of 5th spell is strong but because of the slow skill cast not that ez to hit right now, because i often get blinded or interrupted while the long casttime. the weapon fits in the necro theme and playstyle and is a great addition to the class. cant complain about it. i really enjoyed playing it.

My first feedback from wvw perspective after some duels:
AA is too slow and has no real impact: the weapon aa cast was veeery slow and unrewarding, you can neither pressure ur opponent with that nor getting really much heal from it. aa rotation feels like 3 sec for whole rota, but the tooltip casttimes where like 1/2+1/2+3/4= 1,75 sec. maybe too much aftercast on the aa. aa projectiles misses the target very easily when the target wiggles a little in movement.
2nd spell: castspeed and dmg+ effects are fine for short cd spell. but the projectile very easily misses the target. should have a better hitrate on maxrange (better homing or hitbox on projectile)
- the gorment spell has no real gain, so i usually just didnt used it. i dont see why i should anyway since gorment spells dmg is mediocre but cost hell of life. (hitting me harder then opponent)
3nd spell (leaps): the leap is helpful but in my tests vs a mesm, between all the blocks/invulns my opponent used it was hard to hit it. like 9 of 10 casts went into blocks because the animation is very clear and easy to counter. maybe the second leap should have an unblockable to have a real gain for reactivating this spell with higher hitchance on 2nd leap. imo spell would be better to use, if it wouldnt leap to a target but the leap target area would be like an aoe placed with the mouse (like new warrior staff 2 leap)
4th spell: way too long casttime. i lietrally eat the whole spike of my opponent while casting it. and the dmg+ impact ist mediocre. and the gorment reactivation skill just is the same with a little chill on it. why spend 2k life for it?
5th spell: nice idea with the fear on recast, but its like i cast this spell and have to wait like 1 secs before it reaches my opponent and then to recast it. in the meantime i cannot really cast another spell because casttimes on other spells are to long so i would miss my timewindow for recast. so in the end i am stuck for like 2 sec in that spell feels not that great.
overall sword has potential and a cool design but feels unrewarding by the dmg numbers and slow in cast.

idk this whole game has so many game braeking bugs, its demotivating to play it. literally every story instantwhen i played it was at some point buged. anet has to improve a lot here. realesing an addon that is nearly unplayable because of that kitten...

you can complain about perma aura by ele, so you get stunned, chilled everytime you hit that class (while projectiles literally useless against them) that leaves no counterplay
or perma invis stacking thiefes by using smoke + finisher that leaves no counterplay
or perma invuln,block chaining mesmers that leaves no counterplay
or. 3000 range one shot pewpew by ranger in under 1 sec.
or berserker warri hitting you with 15k on like every skill in berserk form
i mean i have seen so many revs, guards, necros, rangers, mesmer,... [add here any class] that get oneshot by full power builds in under 1 sec by revs, guards, necros, rangers, mesmer,... [add here any class].
or whatever. There are million things you could complain about but the problem is neither cele nor balancing.
in the end its just a rock-paper-scissor problem. you cant beat everything on 1 build, cause game is not balanced around 1v1, but groupfights. if you have problems with willy and harb its your playstyle, class chose or skill thats wrong/lacking. play DE or SB and you wont have any problems with those 2 classes or accept that you have to be better than your opponent. in the same way e.g. harbs have to be better then the DE to win since harb is countered by DE.

harb is heavily countert by projectile hate. especially elementalists can cast perma reflect by magnetic aura and other effects. that way a harb can nearly never hit you. your blocks and invulns complete the set. as ele you should never die to a harb.
in general harb get countered by same things necros get countered: mobility + cc + range. and especially burst.

What brings you to the conclusion that the harb will use the elixier while you block, reflect, dodge or are not in range?
I guarantee you, when I play a harb and you play whatever you want, you will get hit by that elixier.
as i said: "until ult runs out".
harb is a heavily projectile related class. you can ez deny the most of its dmg by using reflects, invis, blocks, etc. just getting hit by the ult should not kill you. even when the ult hits you: burning+poison+bleeding+torment are the only condis you get by it that continously dmg you. on cele build with 25 stacks of might it should be around 700 condi dmg/s, all that condis together. i mean even with 12k hp the ult alone needs more then 10 seconds to kill you. if you cant use condi cleanses its not a balance issue.
even 2 stacks of burning by a full condi build already ticking higher dmg.

Celestial is a good attribute combination, when you just want one gear set to work for everything.
If you want to min/max, its effectiveness is still subpar to maruder for power builds, trailblazer for condi builds and soldier or minstrel for bunker builds, even with the bloated number of attribute points. That's the reason why ANet buffed it in the first place.
While cele is strong on most builds (even on power builds) it is only completely overpowered on harbinger, but that's a result of the design of its elite elixier. That elixier becomes absurdly strong when paired which celestial. If you can manage to dodge the elixier a celestial harbinger is dealble. The problem is that the elixier is almost impossible to dodge. You have to play a build that can deal with the condi overload and at the same time a target that can not be counterpressured due to all the boons.
i always wonder why people dont seem to know the tons of counterplay. i mean you just need a reflect, block, dodge or just move out of harbs range until the ult runs out. every class can easily do that.

cant agree with OP.
1. cele is a hybrid playstyle that is meant to create sustained fights . obviously, everyone that is aiming for 1 shotting an cheesing opponents, will be somewhat frustrated since cele is not easy 1 shottable, though it still is possible.
2. claiming it is IN GENERAL unfun is wrong, since OP can only speak for himself.
3. claiming it can easily 1vX while the x also can play celestial makes no sense at all.
4. and in fact cele has not more power then only power builds, and not more condi then only condi builds. even on e.g. full power builds you can put in enough concentration and boon duration buffs with runes and more, that you can achieve high boon uptimes. dont see why full power builds wouldnt have access to boons like cele.
5. there are enough builds that are at least equally strong as cele , like builds that rely on high uptime of e.g. invis, blocks, invulns. that way e.g. builds on mesmer, thief,... can easily outsustain several players while being capable of 1 shotting. so this builds are at least as viable as cele builds are.
OP should stop searching for excuses for lack of success at the game. if you are a very good player it doesnt matter what builds people play, you will easily win 99,9% of your fights by pure skill diff. if you cant, u are just not good enough.

not really its just a power shift. before it was good for cleaving(whats important since harb cant really stomp in fights with more then 1 opponent). less for dmg vs living targets that are moving. now its a bit better vs moving targets and worse for cleaving and cced targets. so it depends on situation if its better or worse.

haha! that would be WAYYYY more than 5 people 😄
it is just a list of what i believe are the strongest and most consistent roaming builds currently.
this seems like a ranger/engi propaganda. every roaming list that doesnt contains ranger/engi builds cant be serious. plz mr. sahne, make better researches 🧐
i am awaiting your reports tomorrow. 😏

yeah ele is not that weak people consistently claiming, but you should consider that the mota had specific rules, 1 tank amulet stats was banned and every spec was just allowed 1 time per team.
those changes can effect team combs heavily.

i mean when i remember some years ago you clicked something in shop and it loaded instantly.
right now its sooooo laggy in trading post and getting worse month by month. its really unfun when you have to wait 3-5 seconds after every click in shop...sometimes also lagging out completely so i need to close and open it again.
idk, plz fix this shop anet...

don't know if it's the right place to do it, but I'll take the risk.
Context: I will do WvW to get a Gift of Battle (thanks to WvW big spender and boxes of WvW supplies I'm almost halfway) but I never did WvW. The problem here it's there's the only place to get it and I really don't want to do WvW. It doesn't worth it.
I have a suggestion for another place to get Gifts of Battle and make it more accessible: dungeons.
My reasons:
1. To revive dungeons. Nobody does it and no one cares about it, but an important reward as GoB surely will make people think or take in consideration to do dungeons again. At least just for the GoB.
2. To make a simil with WvW reward tracks. Those reward you with the same items you can acquire in dungeons.
I guess that's all. Maybe there's more, but can't remember it. Just wanted to pull out this idea inside me even if it's ignored or underestimated.
Thank you very much for read. 🙂
to get a legy you need to play all ingame stuff. thats the idea for legys. there are also a lot of people playing pve to get those, even is they dont want to. i think u just need to get used to it.

This is the bigger picture I can not say much about. I have no overview over the synergies with others classes. But I guess the community will develop meta comps that cap crit chance or the alternative: no dps build is able to cap crit chance anymore.
/edit: fixed wrong quote
Maybe ... but like I said, they could just have lowered ferocity to 225 to achieve this. This 15% solution implies they changed the math.
hmm,l i would say there are effects like food/utility that gives extra stats in relation to existing stats. so having flat 15% is less valuable then having 225 ferocity. could be the idea here

Nope, nothing say that the 15% crit damage are in shroud. It say that it increase crit damage by 15% instead of the previous bonus that increased ferocity while in shroud. It doesn't say that it increase crit damage by 15% while in shroud instead of increasing ferocity like you seem to read it.
- Death Perception: This trait now gives 10% critical chance, regardless of whether the necromancer is in shroud. This trait now increases critical damage by 15% instead of increasing ferocity while in shroud.
i would guess since they precisely note the 10% crit chance regardless of shroud in 1st sentence, lead to idea that the 15% crit dmg are just inside shroud. but we will see at tuesday^^

Death Perception:
Not sure how the change from 300 ferocity to +15% of damage is calculated. I guess they just flat add it as another multiplier - otherwise the whole change would not make sense and they could just have lowered the ferocitiy to 225.
What I am talking about: E.g. berserker + scholar rune gives 2557 power x 2,29 crit multiplier:
With current death perception - which grants ferocitiy - this adds up to 2557 power x 2,49 crit mulitplier = 6367
With the new death perception - that adds 15% crit damage - the math could be: 2557 power x 2,29 crit multiplier x 1,15 = 6734
This would actually be a BUFF.
nah, current ferocity gives you 20% crit dmg. and new one gives 15%. the math is in your 2nd example pultiplies the crit dmg as well with 15%. but i guess its just additive there. so overall 2557 power x (2,29 + 0,15)=2,44 crit multiplier.

Harbinger:
- Elite elixir should have a longer CD compared to what it can do. Maybe 90s is enough, but I can easily see 120s.fun fact: harb ult elixier is already 90 sec cd... many people are maybe confused since cd get reduced to 75 sec when traited. but basic cd still is 90 sec.

men i remembered an old video where some ranger oneshoted me (its over 3 years old)
you see me on round about 60-70% hp on full marauder gear and 55% shroud.
should be around 15-19 k hp and 10 k llifeforce (in sum 25-29 k hp). in theory necro shroud would reduce showed dmg by 50%.
but the 33k dmg hit (that should get halfed to 16.5 k dmg) killed me instantly. at least somehow the hit that kicks you out of shroud doesnt reduce incoming dmg. idk if it blocks some dmg or just calculate the full dmg after shroud exit to your hp bar. the hit was just to hard xD
You can see the oneshot vs me at 4:33 in video. maybe it helps you to get an answer 🙂

A wall of text and mostly wrong or confused.
https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Harbinger_-_Pistol_Curses
Let's break down the build.
And, let's break down where you got it wrong.
1.I asked who has pulsing quickness and protection? (You didn't answer, obviously)
2. If you take a rune, like divinity, for instance, it will put you at 34.56k -> rounded up for ease, 35k. (Wrong here too), and it was always just a round, but, but the standard set in the build gives you almost 34k, rounded up for ease.
3. Harbinger has the regen built in for free with Alchemic Vigor, this is not including the natural restoration of blight returning to health. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Alchemic_Vigor
4. Not a wrong accusation, Harbingers move across the map incredibly fast. Harb skills 3 and 4 do not need a target and they are mobility skills, worm works extremely well with pulsing quickness, and if you a wombo combo juke you can start it all with spectral walk off a no port or wherever. (the point is they move much quicker than they should).
The build:
roughly 34k health, potentially more depending on rune
Excellent, A-Tier mobility.
Shutdowns melee with constant weakness application capacity.
King of Auto Attacks, massive dps from the shroud autos.
Very high health, not fragile due to pulsing protection and increase armor from contant carapace, and also the traitline dumps condi while they are in shroud.
8/30 anti projectile directly, or 8/20 if traitied, so about 33% or 40%.
7k heal with damage and regen.
Ranged stun, not saying this is bad, but it is what it is.
Float, and I think many necros are running https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Insidious_Disruption because the float is actually a 1 second pulse, and it can potentially apply 3 times.
Lol, you just brought up a bunch of random stuff that had essentially nothing to do what I said, but it still didn't make me wrong.
And, in your passion, attacked me or my skill or experience.
I'm cackling like Kamala at this assertion.
1. first of all you make so many false accusations that is a bunch of work to show someone like you where you are wrong.since your only goal is to bring in biased feedback ignoring everything other classes do as well. YOU were the one claiming harbinger has tons of stuff no one else has. i showed you that every class has the same tools.
2. why for gods sake you should use THAT rune?but yeah, when building just for having high HP you can take it and even get on mesmer close to 30 k hp...still nuts. because also here, balancing is not about class A has mechanic Y. its about full potential of classes. sustain is the sum of all dmg mitigation mechanics a class has. that includes invis, blocks, invulns, dodges as well. where other classes can sneak out of the dmg by going invis or invul, necro has to eat it. so having more hp on classes that doenst have the juicy stuff like block, invis, invul, infinite dodges is fair.
3. the built you mentioned is using no healing power. that means even on max stack (you barely get) its in best case 325 regen /s by blight (that takes away 37,5% max hp as tradeoff). thats far away from being great regeneration. in practive you are running maybe 15 stacks for 195 regen. so you want to tell me you cant focus down a harbinger because of 195 regen. odd...
4. they move slowlier then most classes in game. if necro as slowest class in game (that doesnt have the utility do come out of invis) is still to fast and surprising for you maybe the issue is you.
5. i didnt attacked you, i just said you should bring in facts and not fantasy.

What false accusations?
Who has access to pulsing protection and quickness?
What other class just dumps away condis and gains damage reduction and toughness from doing so and attacking?
What other spec is advertised as a fragile fighter but gets 35k health, free unremivable regen, and thief like mobility?
What other class can essentially shut down all melee and ranged?
And when not playing a split second of defense is able to melt all foes in its way?
Harbinger is the least fragile of all necros.
Necro...Harbinger main spotted.
1. wrong accusation: you claimed: shroud has dmg reduction.
you already realised its not SHROUD, its a trait. look at you thread title. there is the false accusation.
2. wrong accusation - 35k hp: harbinger doenst have 35k health even if you take max vitality amulett, vitality rune and every trait (includes soul reaping and harbinger traitline) that gives you vitality.
3. wrong accusation - free unremvoal regen: regen comes from taking blood magic on hit effect (can be blocked, dodges, countered by invis,...) + regeneration buff ( can be removed by every class) + blight heal (need to get stacked and only scales with stack number that makes harbinger vulnerable to birst attacks) -> everything has counter or trade off
btw. when i try to built a build on harb that is including above mentioned traitlines i need to pick at least 4 traitlines with dm, bm, sr and harbinger (thats impossible)
4. wrong accusation - mobility like thief: moblity-spells on harbinger
- shroud 3: 600 range on 10 sec cd --> offers: 60 range/second
- shroud 4: 600 range on 18 sec cd --> offers 33,3 range/second
- flesh worm 1200 range on 40 sec cd --> offers 30 range/second
- spectral walk unrealiable since no mobilityon first activation: you need to travel some distance first before reactivating
flesh worm and spectral walk show your enemies WHERE you will port to, ez counterplay for everyone with 1 braincell.
So overall extra moblity on harbinger in addition to normal movement is round about 120 range per second.
Thief mobility as far as i see includes following spells for specter (build specter- condi scepter by meta battle:
- well of gloom 600 range on 20 sec cd --> offers: 30 range/ second
- well of bounty 600 range on 20 sec cd --> offers: 30 range/ second
- shadowfall 600 range on 75 sec cd --> offers 8 range/second
- infiltrators strike 900/1200 range on 3/2 inititaive --> even if just used 1 time in 20 seconds its 2100 range in 20 seconds offers another 105 range/second
So overall extra moblity on specter in addition to normal movement is round about 170 range per second. nearly 40% higher then harbs
If you watch daredevil (Dagger/pistol by Metabattle):
- swipe 600 range on 25 sec cd --> offers: 24 range/second
- shadow shot (if used 1 time in 20 seconds) 900 range on 20 sec cd --> offers: 45 range/second
- infiltrators arrow (if used 1 time in 20 seconds) 900 range on 20 sec cd --> offers: 45 range/second
- shadow step 2x1200 range on 50 sec cd --> offers: 48 range/second
So overall extra moblity on daredevil in addition to normal movement is round about 160 range per second. nearly 30% higher then harbs. and i calculated usage number of mobility spells on thief weapons really conservative with 1 per 20 seconds...
5. wrong accusation - pulsing boons are unique to harbinger:
- rev glint is pulsing 5 boons (fury, might, swiftness, protection, regenration)
- rev dwarf has pulsing stability
- warrior stances have pulsing stability, resistance, swiftness
- guardian symbols are pulsing boons (depending on field)
- thief well of bounts is pulsing boons
- mesmer PU or time warp is pulsing boons
- ranger can get protection by dodging on companions defence (also grants huge uptime)
-scrappers with kynetic accelartor have huge quickness uptime as well
-........
nearly every class has access to different boon pulsing effects, thats not unique to harb/necro
6. wrong accusation - no other class attacking with condis and gaining protection and toughness out of it.
Since the whole idea behind carapace is gaining defence stats from applying condis and its unique to necro (since every class has unique effects), its just the logical consequenz that this is happening BUT: carapace stacks need to get stacked before giving those extra stats SO: if you fullfill that condition you gain extra defense. thats like:
- thief flickering shadows: reduced strike dmg by 33% when revealed
- warrior balanced stance deny all crits when activated (also dmg reducing effect)
- rev vengeful hammers and dwarf ult have huge dmg reductions
- ele stone heart is denying crits as well (huge dmg reduction
-....
Post already is getting to long.
Summary:
I am not saying every skill/trait above is commonly used. i just say: depending on what class and build you play you can include on every class pulsing boons, dmg reduction effects. The "high" mobility is fake news, as well as dmg reduction by shroud itself.
If you watch to: What harbingers doenst have...
if you get pressured as ele, thief, warrior, guardian, engi, rev, mesmer, ranger:
you can rotate over several blocks, invis, invulns, dodge spells ALL THE NECROS DOENST HAVE. those defense mechanics works with the same effectivity vs 1 enemy, like vs 5 enemies. those are scaling defense mechanics.
means: 10k dmg to a block deny 10k dmg, -> 100k dmg to a block deny 100k dmg
harbinger doesnt have those scaling defense mechanics. it has some regen (not more like every ele, ranger, engi, whatever class has...)
it has some weakness (like nearly every class), it has some boons (when played harbinger) as all other classes has as well. there is no difference.
but necro active defense was shroud. if you hit shroud with 10k dmg it blocks 10k dmg -> if you hit with 100k dmg, necro dead...NO scaling.
and harbinger doesnt even have that shroud. if you focus dmg it is has the least utility to stay alive (most vulnerable class). even its weaknis application is primarily focused on 1 target and cant get apllyed to several targets except you just stack inf ront of the necro (but in that scenraio you deserve to die, because stacking is stupid af)
and again, before everyone starts crying. IMO there IS absolutely a requirement for adjustments. not only on harbinger. tons of it...
BUT for gods sake, can people PLZ START EITHER discussing based on FACTS with ARGUMENTS and bringing useful solutions? instead of crying always with fake news and criticising the wrong things? those mentality doesnt helps anyone. its like you want to stop climate change on world by opening your FRIDGE too cool down the earth, thats just stupid ...
OR JUST STOP TALKING when you havent the experience to really understand class balance and also doesnt have the time to learn about it or just want to rant.

Extra vitality?
Healing for blight, and no not the recovery, but actually healing?
tbh whats wrong with you? xD
you are referring to a trait that offers protection(a boon every class has access to) and still complaining about shroud dmg reduction.
ur completely nonsense. i mean wtf? how delusional has this community become? at least try to stay on facts and not false accusations.

okay i found out how to fix
