Black Storm.6974 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Arenanet, for years, balanced PvP necromancer only for “few builds”, letting everything else “die”.Scourge, for example, was supposed to be our support spec, but no decent support/healer build can exist right now.We are not in this situation because it was overperforming, but because trying to “balance” Scourge condition and other aspects of PvP (or WvW), Arenanet has totally ignored the existence of the support/healing option. A Scourge can’t be a decent healer with “no stability”, bad defence, even worst defence if away from an active shade, bad mobility. It has to get better at least in one of these aspects to become a decent option. Right now it can be easily focused and CC locked to death in few seconds.I hope that Arenanet will think a bit more about the side effects of their balance patches. I feel like over the years the variety of “viable” builds/roles is diminished a lot.The recent changes to the power coefficients helped to increase the variety of “viable” builds, I have to say that. Maybe now the Scourge spec needs a big rework (not small changes). Also, I’d touch only Scourge to fix Scourge, the other trait lines are fine and more balanced than ever.

GET GUD!Probably you don’t understand much about the necromancer. There is not a “viable” (decent) support/healer spec for PvP, no matter how someone “get good”. Tempest has nothing to do with it.

I wouldn’t mind if they nerf the life steals by 20%, but I don’t think it is “necessary”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
