Well Anet is giving WvW some love in 2022... Can't hurt to ask while they're doling it out.

I've been seeing more people go idle at the SLIGHTEST sign of difficulty getting a win. Maybe Anet should make the punishment heavy-handed enough that the behavior gets corrected quickly.

Nope. You just need to be selective on how you use it. You NEED a might build, but when you have one you will hit really hard and be bulky.

It works. I’m using a mix of cele with a splash of viper’s as its also my WvW set up. Works well in both cases. Just don’t take it to raids/fractals. It’ll lower your dps and/or boon uptime potential (dunno of that second one is still relevant or not) and it’ll mess up anyone tanking.

Bro its not hard to solo champs on Reaper, its even EASY. Like you may wanna check what the heckles you doin chief cuz that kitten’s wack.

Technically you can already

Man the theif mains in my guild whine about sustain like they aren’t abusing how easy it is to stack stealth and/or OOC before the opponent as a deadeye…

I like the 3.75s as it gives ranger a means to buy time for Cooldowns.

Isn't there a faster solution to end a game where a leaver is present than just letting the enemy kill you on CD and letting them cap?

Hammer as a whole weapon across all classes, excluding scrapper, needs a huge rework.

I use curses, blood, and harbinger for a condi build. That makes it better. Pistol/Focus and Staff (need that mark 4).

Can we drop blood bank like the failure it is and get vampiric rituals back and better than ever?

It shows 3s in PvP and WvW

Anet hates anything that isn’t thief or guardian.

Once upon a time. Harbinger is the most fun I've had on the class in a while, but tis still not quite what it used to be for me. RIP Vampiric Rituals. I miss you so much.

- Condi mesmer needs love outside of PvE. - more stat combos. - improving builds and playstyles across ALL professions to increase build diversity outside of PvE. - Gimme back my kitten Necro well trait (I miss my well reaper). - Give core thief a support spec. - Make harbinger have better synergy with core necro stuff. - make torment do more than 75% of the damage that bleeding does (for context, everybody moves in PvP and WvW, so it usually only does 75% of the damage of bleeding) outside of PvE - make elementalist not peepeepoopoo

Dhuumfire is bugged. Either the tooltip or the trait effect is wrong. On Harbinger, the ACTUAL base burning duration is 1s not the tooltip's advertised duration. Please correct whatever needs fixing so the people can ignore a garbage trait for their build or use a good one (even though its bugged it still does more damage than torment in WvW/PvP though). Also the blight tool tip is broken because I'm definitely not getting the advertised heal when I get a blight stack in WvW.

IMO harbinger probably needs a lot of rework to fix its issues. It just feels meh. Like I’ve said once before, a lot of the new elite specs just don’t really give us a reason to use them over the others. Like for real, in WvW which of the new elite specs do I use over one of the class’s old elite specs? PvP? Maybe you do in PvE, but I’m pretty sure almost any firebrand will still find a PUG faster than a willbender. Sure some might be strong in very specific circumstances, but after seeing catalyst get castrated while having none of its issues resolved, I think we should all probably expect the new specs to get the same treatment…

Does anyone not know that a necro has to drop shroud to stunbreak? Do people even try to learn, or even google how to counter things anymore? Just stun a core necro, the either have to take it, or drop shroud and pray they still have a wurm lol.

Can confirm that the healing was peanuts, and going for a dhuumfire/quickness build with blathazar runes and parasitic contagion was a better choice…

The least they could do when removing 60-70% of a class’s defense is give it an instant cast heal…

Wait so both power and condi are sitting at 40k+ dps parses?

Except condi thief now can stack 25 stacks of might reliably with scepter 2 and rune of aristocracy (9/cast)

As a small scale WvWer (group if 5-ish), its in a a bad spot. It isn’t even good in blobs. Elixirs are neat, but were overall a bad choice for this class. Its great that they want necro to have a glass cannon spec, but it doesn’t have the tools to pull that off (good stunbreaks, get out of jail free blinks, blocks, evades, invuln… like every other class does) outside of PvE… On top of trading up to 37.5% of your max health for kitten peanuts, you no longer have shroud to help with durability (which is why core necro has bad stunbreaks and mobility and no invulns, blocks, evades, etc.). On top of not having shroud health, you don’t even get access to your utility skills, unlike holosmith…

I’m using cele armor, viper weapons, celestial accessories, amulet and 1 ring. Other ring and backpack are grieving. Using balthazar runes with dhumfire (because torment tubes are hot trash on anything that isn’t a mesmer) with a demon sigil on my main condi weapon set (pistol/focus with staff for cleansing) I won’t say the build is better than scourge on that set-up because it isn’t. I won’t even say it’s good. It’s aight because harbinger is still only aight at best. If you want power, play reaper. If you want condi play core or scourge if you can stand them…
