Moyo.3987 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 You complain about Core Necros with 3 defensive traitlines dealing 0 dmg and having 0 stability. There are only 2 ppl in top20 atm which played MOSTLY core necro. 5+ ppl are playing reaper (its better in this meta) and 1 scourge. If you lose to full bunker punching ball core necro, maybe you deserve it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falan.1839 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 No idea why this wasn't adressed in the last patch, it was the bigger issue than SLB by far. The burst on SLB was broken but at least there was some counterplay, while this shit just doesn't die, gets tons of free resses and ccs hard on top of it.

KrHome.1920 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 There exist equally strong if not stronger bunker builds on other classes. All you need to do to kill that build is picking berserker amulet. And this won't help you against a bunker that evades and blocks your damage all the time.

Core bunker necro has 2 sources of fear, Staff 5 (high cd) and shroud 3. If you die to this because you facetanked all conditions earlier and you are not using stunbreaks, you just deserve it. Where is the condi bomb on bunker core necro btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand The Wall.6987 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 when you start messing with core class mechanics then its the beginning of a slippery slope. instead of doing that, how about we re-buff some damage first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma.1503 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Necro should build life force off of skills and not auto attacks. Why does Axe 1 passively generate lifeforce? Why not make Axe 2 generate life force and generate additional life force at high vuln stacks?Dagger 2 literally saps life from its target. It could be changed to sap life force in addition to hp if the target is bleeding. Give players a way to interact with this mechanic and it will feel less like the necro is able to live for an eternity while literally afk. Also why did Unholy Sanctuary avoid the 300 sec CD nerf bat? I'm curious to hear Anet's reasoning on this one. Is it really that much weaker than Lesser Arcane Shield?

I say, give players a way to play around the life force mechanic and introduce an element of counterplay to Necro's sustain so that, in the event that a Necro is living for a long time, you can point to the players and say "Well why didn't you dodge X? You had bleeding on you yet you let them hit the entire channel of Life Siphon on you?" As always, I enjoy these kinds of discussions.

Anet should either stay consistent on this or get rid of the rediculous 300cd on these traits to begin with. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl.8924 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The issue I have is not all passives are bad, and some classes actively depend on such things to survive, unless you can replace said things which are just as strong active mechanics, which is hard since they got a lot of passive traits which would need to be overhauled.And on top of that, you cannot compare ele and necro, they just don't play the same. Sure ele has tons of melee range stuff but ele has different tools for different situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think this is a bad idea for whatever reason, I'd like to know why. They said you have no idea what you are talking about because axe 1 generated no LF at all. Plus all the classes than generate a resource can do so with an auto attack and it's not passive. Also most LF does come from skills. It's just for some reason people ignore them. At the start of the game you would see people, in this forum, saying to avoid skills X/Y/Z to deny LF , not powering into SA or SW to deny LF..etc but you don't see that anymore. The only thing that needs looking at on necro is blood magic at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I ended up playing necro for the sake of learning what the class did and and thought that axe 1 was my lf generator.
