i dont see this espec being great in open world i think the casual necros will hate it and they will be dying left and right when the new expansion will drop .
i think this espec will be the most hated elite specailiztion ever due to it being lacking thematically and will be squish as hell and the casual player will get oneshoted alot .
this espec is targeted for raid only as a hight dps glass canon (dps may be over 40K) people ask why elixir has blight on them i think because the devs want the player to have access to blight outside of shroud to maintain hight blight stack for dmg modifier .
another use will be a quickness share calss for fractals .
i dont think it will see play in pvp or wvw .
a change to blight from 2% to 1% hp reducion and a buff to elixir will solve alot of problems
