Power reaper is meh, it is fine but not anything special and is usually outclassed by other classes, condi necro is dead as a doorknob and support is the best way to play scourge but usually better off playing a different support, but if you where hoping for condi damage build, that is been dead for a LONG time. the main unique role of the necro at the moment is boon corrupt bot.

dude, necro is overall a joke other than being a boon corrupt bot and being good vs nooby players in WvW/PvP. and are overall a complete joke when it comes to endgame PVE content (100 fractal, challenges, raids, etc)

if you want to make an impact, dont play necro unless you want to be a boon corrupt bot that is about all necro is relegated to, the other positions it COULD FILL can be filled better by a different class

option yes, is it viable/good option for competitive stuff? mostly no

Just always assume that if there was a balance patch, necro got nerfed. or they got such a insignificant buff in something that was already negligible that it doesn't matter. it is how most balance patches go with necro. they never get TRULY buffed

My wishlist,overall make the necro class not a boon corrupt bot and give it a good STRONG condi dps build and make it the king of condis again (without breaking the game ofc) also make staff ACTUALLY USEFUL, as well as an AI update for necro minions would be nice. but that is the thing about wish lists, you wish for stuff that will probably not happen

where base necro is meant to be a condi corrupt bot, reaper a power spec, then there is scourge, which is supposed to be support. the class that should be the KING/QUEEN of condition damage is not allowed to by Anet, they hate necro and dont want it to be damage viable, heck even support viable it is not as strong as other support roles and its damage is crap. in the end necro is just a boon corrupt bot, and scourge is meant to turn that into a little bit of support, not for making necro what it should be and that is the top damage for condition damage (or at least competitive for the top spot)

Anet is like "someone is liking necromancer? NERF IT AGAIN, APPEARENTLY WE DIDNT HIT IT HARD ENOUGH WITH THE PREVIOUS NERF BAT" then there is that elementalist on the side crying "stop! he's already dead!" I almost missed your incessant whining.There have been a few builds that have been nerfed due to the Vampiric Rituals removal...but overall necro has been buffed. The change to Well of Darkness has been amazing. In T4's it shuts down everything under champion level, and by the time it's done, the target is dead. Reaper brings a lot of damage while also bringing a lot of debuffs (blind, chill, and yes even boon corrupt) as part of it's damage rotation. A profession doesn't have to deal 40k damage to be viable. And just in case you don't know, Reaper's at 34.3k benchmark, which is nothing to scoff at. necros still scoffed at in raids? Only if you choose to play that way. But hey ... you don't play anymore right? Or was that just an empty threat? https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/65570/im-not-playing-gw2-till-necro-is-fun-to-play-in-pve-again/p1o i did quit for a long while, i hop on every know and then to check things out (mainly necro) i look at the LFG posts and still commonly see necros not being accepted into raids or 100's and such

Anet hates necros, that is why. they just want them to be boon corrupt bots and nothing else. so be like everyone else, take your nerf bat beating with a smile and don't complain, it's not like they listen to us anyways

wrong, necro was strong up until after Xera i believe, then necro started getting hit harder and harder with condi damage nerfs. but for a while, a sweet sweet fun time. necro was raid viable. unlike now

YOU CAN play necro in ANY content, whether or not you SHOULD is the REAL question. because you name it, another class can do it bettercondi damage (which necro should be the best at but it isn't because anet hates necromancer)power damagehealingsupporttankingroaming1v1ingetc, name it. another class can do it better OTHER THAN BOON CORRUPT, ONLY BECAUSE it is the only class that can boon corrupt. (but there is stuff like boon strip etc)

Anet hates necros, they re to lazy to do a full rework so we got to settle for being the bottom of the barrel for everything, PVE/PVP/WvW (unless you are being escorted which will raise your standing in PVP/WVW but that is outside the necros hands) their vision for the Necromancer is BOON CORRUPT BOT. so you better get used to it, i have sadly and i dont play GW2 because of it

there is nothing more than I would love to see than a necro rework to give it an identity other than BOON CORRUPT BOT (I would prefer that identity as in the plague bringer, I,E the top condi class) but lets face it Anet hates necro, and never wants to see it do good
