Blood Magic should have been shaved alongside the damage nerfs though.

I dunno about Rangers in core since they were practically as rare as unicorns on EU. But, yeah we had cancer oneshot garbage back in core with Thief + Mediguard duos. I don't miss it one bit.

Nice, if that's the case, we can make US 300s cd right?I mean yeah, sure. You don't really take it for the procc. You take it for the regen in shroud. I can probably count the times where the procc has actually saved me on my two hands at best. I'm slightly perplexed as to why this is even an issue. Death Magic isn't really used at all for Core Condi. And I can't see bunker Nec being very useful in 5v5. It's like any other passive and it needs to be 300s.Its really not. Others have already said why. But if we want absolute consistency then the following traits also need 300s CD:https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Valorous_Defensehttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Versed_in_Stonehttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Automated_Medical_Responsehttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dead_or_Alive

Man, I wonder how many of the people complaining about Unholy Sanctuary are mistaking manual shroud entries for US proccing. Because I'm just gonna point out that what looks like a tiny sliver of health left for the Necro to you is probably actually 4-8k health for the Necro. Most Necros know they won't be chunked for that much and can pressure or kite while that low and will just shroud manually if they actually do get attacked.

Every other class complaining about CC now are just experiencing the game as it always was for Necro.

I'm pretty sure the point was to make 1-2 people cleaving a ress unviable as opposed to using CC and actually stomping.

That's not really going to change as long as it has that same functionality. It should truly be split in functionality from PvE and WvW so it works like Sand Swell in PvP.

It's much better. You still die pretty fast to a coordinated 3-4 man spike at first engage on mid as a Nec. But the difference between it taking 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds makes all the difference. The old garbage oneshot meta where you spent the first minute of a game doing jumping puzzles and trying to LoS every direction at the same time to avoid the stealthed lads who were without fail trying to jump you was just awful and boring

Bird autoattacking still managed to be top tho.

You aren't going to be kiting much of anything on core condi nec. Especially not when you get caught with your pants down on the most open part of the map with nothing to LoS with nearby. The necro solution to pets is honestly to just kill them off rather than trying to avoid them. I'm not sure I'd even say the bird is op or anything, but its damage is probably out of line compared to other pets.

Bird is definitely a pain to deal with

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

Nonsense. This is the best meta we've had in a while. Fights don't end in a split second, CC isn't nearly useless anymore, Mesmer is where it belongs =) These are good times.

I think Mesmer is in a good place right now. Alas, I detest Mesmer and wish further suffering upon Mesmer players.

probably disabled due to perma invulnerable eles

I'll be honest, nothing has changed for me. CC still feels the same on Necro. I was always a ping pong ball. I do feel schadenfreude for the other classes though =)
