[Necromancer in Platinum / Legend]

In plat 2 and climbing....need more games for the leaderboard though. And plat 1 on my "test-some-hot-garbage-builds smurf". Necro is fine up here. But once again, necro does shine on a 5 man team that is built around it properly.

How is it like fighting a water weaver? It has 2 dodges (not counting a vigor source from somewhere)...you can still hit it even if some of the damage is soaked. That means you can still "interact" with it. A necro will never sustain as long as the current meta ele builds.

• Negative 33% damage game wide
• Hard CCs going to 0 damage output
• Quickness access/uptime being massively reduced, leading into far less DPS potential upon even the above nerfs
• Healing game wide -33%
• Core Necro Shroud mechanics untouched

If you thought Core Necro was tanky now, put your seatbelt on and prepare yourselves for nearly invulnerable Fear Decapping Core Necro Bunkers.

If this is not addressed before the patch drops, we'll see QQ in the forums on this topic, like an avalanche coming down a mountain.

I honestly don't think you need to worry. While necro may become tankier than it is now (which that isn't very tanky in the current meta with teams that know what to do), it wont become a cancer bunker like some of the bunkers in previous meta. It doesn't have stability or heavy team support. No vigor access/spam dodge ability.

You also have to keep in mind that necro is taking some nerfs too. Doom (core shroud fear) is getting a cast time. If you miss that, its a huge amount of LF loss which helps tank in shroud. Necro boon rip and damage Is also getting hit. So even if core is tankier, how impactful will the build be in a team comp?

Long story short, I would wait to see how the patch plays as a whole before asking for nerfs. If it needs to be tuned a little bit, so be it. I just don't see it being a problem like you think it will be.

Experience: I've played necro on and off at the highest level of pvp since closed beta.
