Anchoku.8142 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Running -> Gliding -> Riding -> squad teleport for 150 MPs?Clamming -> muscles -> oysters -> conchs?No fishing... ... ... Fishing?Seriously, there is no reason the next elite spec cannot get MH focus, war horn, or OH axe. I want land-spear but it could be OH shield and banners, though, making a dedicated dark tank.

Anchoku.8142 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 The forum complained, loudly and for years, that Necro needed a power cleave and it happened. (Condi cleave is almost entirely Epidemic.) We also asked for group support and it sort of happened. So what does the profession need next?

Granted what they did for the previous e-spec, I don't realy want to see how they will address mobility...
Anchoku.8142 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 ;-) we will turn into ghosts that pop out of the ground (teleport) with a 2 sec tell - just need to be defeated, first.
Obtena.7952 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 That would mean so little to me ... basically giving me double the skins instead of a different weapon. No thanks, I will take a new weapon.
Anchoku.8142 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Necro could use a small hammer (MH) to pound nails into our (OH) Adam, Malice, or Ambrosia foci and judiciously curse our opponents.
MoonCrash.6713 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 A dark tank would be awesome, with high mobility can teleport from shadows to protect allies and evade damage
Umut.5471 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I hope the next spec gets good DPS and becomes relevant in raids. Tankiness? Necro is already tanky without heavy armor.What we need is more DPS to be accepted in an elitist playerbase. People just benchmark DPS, don't care about other stuff.
EremiteAngel.9765 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 New elite spec to give a mobile necro downstate. Inherit the thief downed skills.

Wait... no... there is stealth as well... Wouldn't that make the necromancer op?As for the heavy armor, that's definitely a no. Needing an additionnal whole set of armor due to a single e-spec for what? 10% inate damage reduction at the very best?
Anchoku.8142 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 There are no large role gaps I can see that need filling besides tank that do not break with the profession theme.Core: selfish debufferExpac 1: power cleave debufferExpac 2: buffing debufferExpac 3: tanking debuffer?Sure, there are other options like stealthy debuffer, higher mobility debuffer, and ranged debuffer that are less dramatic changes to core Necro but the functional gaps are not as large as in the core game. They can add more new boons, conditions, and special mechanics but the current core-core-elite trait system carries a certain amount of baggage.There are a lot of questions I have about the next expac like what comes after mounts? It may be challenging for Arenanet to expand without some kind of fundamental change in how they approach professions and many other aspects of the game like crafting, WvW, and PvP. Expecting customers to pay for another chunk of PvE land without huge, new, got to have it, features may be expecting too much so I expect Arenanet to do something more aggressive with the core game. Exceeding expectations is how companies succeed.
Merlin Dyfed Avalon.5046 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Necromancer had medium armour once. :3
