Sadly the gaming industry is revolved around social media and streaming for their marketing/income; only reason world of warcraft even still has brand recognition even after 4-6 years of bad reviews and Blizzard in general falling apart....is the streamers/twitch/youtube/etc still advertises their games to millions of people across the normie demographics. Blizzard pays enormous amounts to people like asmongold/summit/shroud, even the cringy classic world of warcraft hardcore is only relevant because of streamers even though it's awful, it's only reason people still pay for bad products, they will buy anything they see their fav content creator buy. GW2 marketing is almost non existent, most mainstream demographics don't even know it's a game. Most of us pretty much been playing Guild wars since guild wars 1 back in like 2006. So it's been kinda just bleeding players and retaining veterans of the game.

There is a bunch of broken stuff in wvw, you can get cc'd into walls and get stuck or get into walls before they render and stuff that's been in the game since 2012.

? necro has more mobility than ever in modern gw2, before it was just a warlock with tons of dmg, terrormancer 2012 days. Harb has lot of mobility and reaper just presses 2 and gets swiftness after leaving shroud if you trait for it. necro historically brought insane amounts of dmg and boon strip before GW2 became power creeped with these expansions. Cele harb is prob the most broken wvw 1v1 class/roamer right now, mobility is not a issue and we have stab on demand lol.... and spvp we are teamfighters we don't need much mobility.

eh EOD is not even that bad....worst power creep in history was heart of thorns, the first expansion. balance is pretty decent right now compared to 5 years ago....though 2012-2014 was prob GW2 best era for pvp and wvw.

Don't think you played this game in 2012-2016, we had every single stat combo in Spvp and sigil at one point, was a disaster for balance, which is why they got all removed/changed......

Historically all the options we had caused insane unbalance in Spvp, hence the limitations we have today. think it's fine, variety is in builds in Spvp, not stats, things are too hard to balance to allow certain stats in Spvp. even Sigils were op and lot got removed/nerfed.

All I have to say is at lower levels, people don't know the in's and outs of the game mode, Ignoring the chat till they understand better would be beneficial. Once you get into the later higher ranks, I think most people can understand what's going on to discern their teammates complaints. A plat/dim/legend player will actually understand what is going on in the game, to actually participate in chat is what I was saying, like just ignore the crap talk in lower ranks and just improve your own mechanics.

That's great, but majority of a new player's experience will be people yelling at them.....turning chat off till they learn the game, and basics will serve them better. Like when I was learning baseball fundamentals, you know actual skills, and mechanics...........the key to a path forward, pretty important, you will gain more at a low level from fundamentals than chat, I assure you.......can attribute that to any profession in the real world....

love you sir.

Ty for everyone's input, motivation to play the necromancer class, as I played it in 2012, to achieve a high rank with it in 2023, we shall see.

I agree, I'm having success with condi reaper, yet I'm only in gold after a 2 year break from the game, seems strong for now.

Eh, just turn chat off at the lower ranks, chat drastically improves when you get up to plat+ for the most part. If your new, best advise is to just keep the chat off, learn your role depending on what class you are, and how to rotate, and should be fine for the most part.

Yeah, I've seen a fair bit of people playing condi reaper with the spite tree as of late, think they call it proc condi reaper or something on metabattle, I guess i'l just experiment, feels hard to rank with necro once you hit the higher rankings if you don't have a support on your team. TY for the info.

Hello, I've taken a 5 month break from the game, got back into it. What are necromancers currently running while solo qing to rank? I'm having issues with Harb solo, it's pretty nice if I get teamed with a support like an auramancers, but without feels rough in teamfights. With all the scrappers and boons, I been going back to vanilla necro with boon strip, just not sure what build is best for ranking up in this meta. Thinking about even trying power necro axe/focus with spite traits just for the boon rip.
