Yea going to have to respectfully disagree. Necro isnt a plat-tier class. Zerker reaper loses to most classes and there's a reason why it's usually targeted first cuz it's a free kill unless the entire team supports it. Unlike other classes, necro lacks to ability to carry a game. A good condi zerker warrior can carry a match. A good thief can carry. A good holo/scrapper/sb can carry. Necro cant. Not in plat.

Clearly hasnt played necro or hasnt played necro in a higher competitive setting. Stay in your lane if you have noting to offer. Also, seems like you main warrior which is so hilarious considering defensive condi zerker absolutely trashes every necro build. Keep your jokes to yourself plz.

Reaper isnt a top build. Not even close. As someone else put it, "what does scourge do?". Under G3, necro might seem pretty viable. Not so much G3+. Not asking for everything. Just the fact that not having an invuln and/or block make necro very weak in the current state of pvp due to the high burst damage specs being played and having a dynamic second life bar doesnt compensate for this, especially when your shroud is built by doing damage and when every class has invuln/blocks going, you can put 2 and 2 together.

i agree with this. Life force generation is a big issue due to how quickly classes can burst through our shroud and without shroud we're pretty dead. I've had to use shroud to absorb bursts but that also means my main damage is now gone along with a big mobility and my main source of stab (reaper shroud 3).

Most if not all classes can easily clear necro conditions so not quite sure what you're getting at. E.g. condi zerker > necro. Willbender blasts through necro shroud. So does SB. So does holo smith, scrapper, renegade, the list goes on. Having blocks/invuln > second life bar. You're right that in "theory" second life bar should be a replacement but it's not. It never will be. Not with the current state of PvP and classes able to blast through it. Along with the fact that necros initially start with no shroud and need to build it up. And the "spammable" unblockable marks arent really a problem. You can invuln through marks. They dont do insane damage. They arent spammable except for staff 2 which does the least damage. It's more so a Condi cleanse/crowd control than a damage option.

Necro's kit in PvP is too underwhelming in the current state of PvP, especially in G3+. Being the only class without an actual invuln or block and with the current glass/burst builds, necro just doesnt bring enough to the table. Scourge is a semi-decent bunker/support build but again at higher levels of PvP, it doesnt offer enough to the team. Likewise, reaper gets run through as most classes can instantly burst through our shroud which means we just die. Harbinger is decent, but still suffers to a degree from these same problems. Essentially with the current state of PvP being an extremely low TTK meta, a class like necro without invulns or blocks becomes a crutch to the team and would like to see some changes to make necro more viable in G3+ for pvp.

I was halfway into plat 1. I hit 1550s before the great descent back to 1350. Mind you, of the 20+ losses, there were only 2 wins (barely wins). And i do not discount my mistakes (see original post). But there's a difference between losing like you mentioned (500-461) due to a bad decision and losing 500-100. Pretty much most of my games were the latter which regardless of how bad im doing shouldnt be that far of a deficit assuming the teams are roughly even.

So is it better after like 2-3 losses in a row to just quit for the night to avoid the volatility? Idk why this would be a thing cuz i placed G1 and grinded to plat1-2 and then over a course of 2 nights dropped to G2 cuz of a ridiculous loss streak of games not even being close. This was after about 50 ranked games.

What @Bast.7253 said. And before this patch, it was strong and held it's own. Now with the condi-zerker meta, it shits on scourge. And this spike in pdps, necro is now back in the dumpster for pvp.

What do you mean damage numbers being far too high? As in im doing too much dmg as a scourge? Yeaaa i dont think that's the problem.

I crawled my way to mid plat on scourge and im currently sitting in G2 as of 2 days of pvping. I've lost about 15-20 games and won about 4? The games i've lost, for the most part, havent even been close. Im talking like 300-400 point deficits. It feels like a team of silvers fighting a team of plats. I know I make mistakes and dont play perfect every game but this is just ridiculous. Here im thinking "ok maybe im just getting unlucky and bad team matchups" but ive literally gone 9 losses in a row tonight with the games not even being competitive. It's not a "oh we messed up rotating" or "well we lost that one important fight". My entire team just gets run over. Does anyone else go through this? Is there something with matchmaking queue that biases team comps and overall levels? This is the most unbalanced night of pvp ive ever had. Usually it's 50/50 w:l or close but this is kittening 100% loss rate.

Im not saying im a god player, but this is just ridiculous. Here im thinking "ok maybe im just getting unlucky" but ive literally gone 9 losses in a row now with the games not even being competitive and someone screwing up. My entire team just gets run over. Idk wtf is wrong with matchmaking.

I have no idea how to finish this achievement. I've been in DragonFall for 2 days trying to roam around and find Zafirah and no luck. This is ridiculous. Is there a map of locations she spawns in in dragonfall? Or do i just have to keep running around aimlessly and pray i get lucky?
