People speak as if bunker core necro was even a thing! It was face nerfed right after the main patch in pvp. The meta condi necro build was barely touched, except for the fear trait. Although I'd rather that not be the only condi build burned to the ground in the game. This patch only had one message: Necros aren't supposed to rezz and we're gonna make sure they don't!

Anet's nerfs affects every necro. And yet condi core is still on top running wild! Good jobFear of death and unholy sanctuary are nerfs I can get behind but not the rest

And eles and condi rangers, and... I saw some condi mirage builds running around. The condi meta has never been fun before and it's not fun now. True but let's not pretend nor deflect that there's on average 2 necros on each team vs maybe one of those others maybe on one of the teams and for a obvious reason lol Yes, as I myself mentioned in this very thread. The reason, however, is not that necro condition builds are much more efficient (well they are but not by that big a margin). It's mainly because they are the easiest of the bunch to master and it's more forgiving to mistakes. It's the simplicity of it that drives people to play it. One does not simply just dust off a mesmer or an ele and expect to be efficient with it.

Necros were in pretty good shape before this. This is not a good necro's spotlight, It's that everybody now just dusted off their mule necro character and is playing to win with it! Because necro is one of the easy classes to get started with and no longer is as taxing as it used to be.I'm specifically talking about the core condi spec which was good enough pre-update.

I am a necro main and I agree with the OP on the necro problem. Although I believe it's mostly the condition problem in the current meta, not necros in general. It's just that core necros can cause conditions quite efficiently while having high survivability and a low learning curve.I do believe however that conditions need to be looked at across the board.

Lich form seriously need to be looked at. Oh wait, everytime it's looked at it pretty much vanishes again!Lich form is flawed by design! Lich form in its current iteration only means this: Spam 1. People hardly care or have the time to bother with any other skill because Anet's way of balancing it is to make the duration shorter and shorter.

The build swapping right after match start is an issue. Also, I kinda agree that round-robin makes more sense with the current number of teams usually playing in the tournament.Also, most of the times, rewards for winning one match and winning none is the same.

I think the main thing that needs fixing with tournaments is the damn quitters! It ruins everybody's experience.

I play a signet reaper marauder build for wvw (roaming mostly but it's good in zerg fights too). It has very high single target damage and high aoe melee damage and very good survivability too. The superiority of a reaper signet build over a core necro is its mobility.

For a long time, I've been getting the occasional error when trying to logon to the game saying "The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time" with the error code of 42:0:9001:4479. However, it has recently become a persistent problem as I am hardly, if ever, able to login to the game. I have set up an inbound rule in my firewall opening all gw2 traffic.Any help would be appreciated.

Weirdly enough, the 1 file download ended after a while after I connected to another net I don't know if it was the above instructions that finally did it or did it have something to do with my connection.

Thanks for the advice. My local.dat file was located in %appdata%\Guild Wars 2, deleted it, rebooted and ran the launcher but it still tried to download one last file. Changed my language to German, the launcher started downloading ~25k files, around 11.5 gigabytes, but after that, 1 file remained and the download kept going!

Since the Bound by Blood update, my updated keeps downloading one remaining file for a seemingly unlimited amount of time. The game is in a playable state but I'm not sure if this won't affect the game in some way. If anything it is annoying in the least.I've so far downloaded approximately an aggregated 20GB for this single file alone. 11GB just the last time I opened the launcher.Is this file really supposed to be this big or do I have an issue with the patcher?

State of reaper: It's considered OP to anyone playing gold tier 2 or below. Its performance goes down significantly as you go higher in the league as your opponents get smarter. Ironically though I've been having better win rates on reaper on plat tier 2 during more than one ladder, than plat tier 1 or gold tier 3!
