Relatively new but im starting to see how strong 3 specs are in comparison to the rest of the classes and spec.

[Saintfanny.7419]

Apologies if this seems silly but is necro meamt to be this strong?  regardless of their specs they are incredibly strong.  I have one ready to play but im starting to see the pvp just full of necros and guardians.

 

Is this being addressed by the expansion?  Im still pretty naive to the game

Yeah, you're going to see even more guardians.

Necro  is bugged with 2 traits giving to many burn stacks.

 

It is getting fixed when beta goes live tho.

Soul Reaping

• Dhuumfire: Fixed a bug that could cause this trait to activate multiple times without triggering its internal cooldown when used with scourge specialization skills.

 

•  
• Demonic Lore: Fixed a bug that caused the internal cooldown of this trait to not occur under certain circumstances.

Well that's because you have a functioning brain. As ANet has ceased to stop caring about the game in the slightest and only cares about gemstore sales, the entire balance of the game has turned into the kitten show you now see, because the game doesn't have to be very well operable, fun or balanced as long as you can convince enough dopes to buy hundreds of dollars worth of mount skins.

Wow. Everything alright? There are multiple balance patches every 2 months or so. Are they always succesful? No, but just like any other game with lots of possible things you can change in your loadout, its nearly impossible to do it right. People will always find a way to make a class overpowered. I feel like the devs are trying as hard as they can. And not what you say in your comment.

Awww the only classs i can take a core spec and build that i set up years ago and do well against elite specs. Love my mesmer, makes my ele cry.

Balance shifts all the time. It just so happens that these day these are the OP parts. They are addressing it in the next balance patch. And EoD will probably shift that completely as well. Balance in PvP is not easy and some Specs will come up on top. That is kinda natural. The issue is that the balance patches should happen more often for that to not be a problem .

Both of these don't "give out too many burn stacks", the issue is they don't sometimes get internal cooldowns if there are two necos triggering them on the same target. This isn't a "necro deals double damage due to bug" issue.
