sounds like spectral armor. hitting them with that on regens lifeforce...

Is the shroud really that big of a deal though or the cover other classes can provide to the necro to mitigate its weaknesses? Just CC the necro. We got no stab basically. It's been a bit since I did structured, but in wvw, there have historically been times I spend the entire time watching my skill bar spin on cooldown and im either on my kitten or stunned or dazed from 100 % shroud to death.

I mean, to be fair.. we had like 5 years of the only buff to the class being "Increased axe 2 damage modifier by x%". It's not that they don't want to nerf us as much as they forget we exist. 😛

Useless in small group roam now. No regen and low mobility again. Undo those changes please.

7k autos and wrecking people. Same as always.

Depends on your context. I'd argue that for small group roaming, specter makes necro look pretty meh in many ways. I'll still play my necro, and core condi + specter is gonna be kittenous as hell,, but let's be real here.. Focused on single target, plaguedoctor specter provides more barrier in like a few autoattacks than we used to give AND it gives torment stacks to the linked target to apply to their enemies. Kinda baller for small group roam groups.

No. He is just a long time and well known player. We've either fought with him or vs him and seen people get destroyed or been destroyed ourselves. I know it's mind blowing but not shocking at all for weaver to basically evade you and take no damage while blowing you up.

Grouto just that good man. Thieves are predictable.

Right but rangers have had an orbital space cannon (longbow 1) since release. Lol

I guess it's worth noting that the only game mode I routinely play is small group wvw roaming, so for me harbinger was amazing survivability since wvw roaming tends to be a lot of in and out fighting anyway.

I kind of disagree. The passive regen is absolutely insane. Or was at least during beta. I felt more survivable in harbinger than in reaper or core at times.

Depends on what type of role you're doing in wvw a well. Roaming solo? You want mobility and survivability. Group play? Very different. I generally run small roaming builds, either solo or with small groups. As a roamer, I run the following builds with a mix of marauder and speed runes with decent success. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSwAc2FlRw0YWMPWJOaXntbA-e http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSwAc2FlJwWYWMPWJmeXntaA-e I run the first one mostly. It's heavier damage, slightly less boon strip but still a decent amount with GS4, Axe 3, and focus 5. The autoattacks just chunk people. Even post signet nerf, the spite signet trait is worthwhile as it still regens a decent amount of LF in shroud and ensures I have a near full bar, and the passive heal isn't bad. Most importantly is the cooldown reduction on the signet heal while in shroud. I double up on the CC reduction /break shroud skills as this build does not have a meaningful condi removal method other than a cleansing sigil and spectral walk, so I try to make sure I target the meaningful ones instead. Still, autoattacking players for 7k is just fun. Res signet is pretty clutch in small group play as well. Second build is a bit more interesting. More survivability. Less shroud sustain, except frm condis. I run this one when I'm fighting heavy condi users or need a bit more sustain. Playstyle is different with this one. The first spite build is very in, cleave things to hell, get out. This build is a bit more in and out relying on your shouts to reduce cooldowns and chip away more while surviving.

I mean... many of us started playing necro when they were a joke. Lol.

I mean, for what its worth, after basically being underrepresented in anything except wvw for ... idunno.. 4 or so years... Not overly worried here. Just add more ranged dps. You got this.

Wow. I agree the mac client is garbage, and as a result nobody plays on it, but I used it to check the AH on my work pc often etc. I would play full time on the client if it ran well like the wow client... but now you guys are killing it? What the heck are all my gem purchases funding?
