GS2 and GS3 feel like the same spell.

[Aodlop.1907]

I know if you go into technicalities, there are some differences: vulnerability, reduced CD, life force...

 

But at the end of the day, both are big fat melee sword attacks with a long cast time. When you press the buttons, they feel the same.

A simple change to make them feel somewhat different could be to split the attacks on GW3 into a flurry of attacks rather than one big swing. It'd also make it more usable in PvP as a result, since GS is tough to use in PvP right now because of those long cast times on every attack.

 

Thoughts?

You need a change of profession is what i think. The two are nothing alike. Gravedigger is circular and lets me fly around enemy to avoid their big skillshot while positioning to land it. Additionally i must take care to land it and on least on one target with less than half hp for that juicy reset.

The gs 3rd skill is a forward thrust with no resetting mechanics. I have to face the enemy to land it and dancing around them when this is casting can lead to a fat miss.

Imho it's just you nitpicking while the real problem here is that you want a fast paced power class while our necro is the slowest of the bunch.

These 2 skills are completely different. The only thing they have in common is that they are both melee attacks.

Only the autoattack...

How do you "fly around" anything with GS necro ?

 

The tittle should actually be GS1 , 2 AND 3 are all the same. 

 

melee damage attack with 0 utility and doing 0 when kited. The GS3 should be a casted port like guardian sword.

when you do gs2 you actually float bit above ground. You're free to move around during that animation to position yourself better.

Even then GS1/2 can come out quick if you manage your quickness pulses well or use an additional source of quickness.  Only AA3 is particularly hard to hit

cant argue against roleplay.

and the swing does look cool indeed...
