This skill needs to be removed from the game ASAP

This skill..hands down is the dumbest idea I've ever seen in a videogame. I don't understand the logic...because there is none....this is just griefing

What's so wrong with that skill, huh? Why does everyone seem to despise it? Every time I face off against a Guardian... Or an Engineer... Or an Elementalist... Or a Revenant... Or a Ranger... Or a Mesmer... Or a Warrior... Or a Thief, they just magically shower themselves with boons (along with all those other 'broken' mechanics) without even breaking a sweat. But somehow, it's only a problem when a single necro spec does it. Incredible, right?

What's stupid is anet does a general nerf for damage and stuff that was deemed "doing too much for one skill", and then decide to load skills doing too much in their next expansion.

Clown car balancing. 😒

Just need boon duration reduced to 3s like it is in sPvP and it'll be fine.  

Harbs are the least of the problems now with all the other broken crap running around now due to relic and Weapon Master.

a 72 second elite spell is broken ? it gives him a short burst amount , where u can use defensives untils his boons are off , there is a lot of classes that can stall until it runs off , u think your just being silly cause u got beaten up by harbs

And how many professions have such OP elites? 

It is OP as fudge compared to almost every other elite skill out there.

harbinger is not an issue. Yes it's extremely strong in 1v1 fights but its mobility is limited and it has no invulnerabilites. It's wvw, so you don't have to fight it 1v1, just bring some server/guild mates and burst it down. Also projectile destruction is a hard counter to it.

The only thing that could be changed is the animation of the elite elixir because it's kind of hard to see. Just make it glow in a bright green color when a harb uses it so one can differentiate between the elite and normal elixirs.

That is exactly how I deal with harbs as well. I signal them to hold their attacks, type in chat asking for reinforcements, wait until they arrive and when they do we start the fight and burst the harb down easy peasy.

I still wonder why A-net hasn't made Harbinger elixirs selfish (only Self Effects on Cast) while also adding a trait that would give these additional Effects in Impact Area like condies, corruption, etc.
So much stuff on chopping board on WvW balance...
