still seems much less lag than the 25FPS every time a zerg approaches on this sh... game. for years now and no matter what top gaming pc you have.

I bet IF any any dev actually passes his eyes on this post they are laughing at us minions. Hopefully not for too long if NEW WORLD is going to be as good as i expect it.

We kid about this but they just ignore us and everyone keeps playing this. I try to play as litle as possible over the year only to check if anything is done every few months. Usually 3 to5 months and then only manage to play 2 to 4 weeks before everything is just unbearable.
With some luck NEW WORLD is going to be every bit of good as it is looking so far. Not having sub is already good enough to give it a try since 8years of giving this one they do not care.

Tweaks every month to try new balance should be a thing but nooo, god forbid that the flavour of the month (years) changes if only for one month.

Better even, attacks from stealth do less 50% damage.

No. CC needs to be addressed still. taking damage was good start but being able to be stunlocked on perma inturrupt which is even easier needs to be removed. No onr should die being rendered unable to counter constantly.

But I wonder, can we get an idea of where we are in this cadence? I mean... the patch happened at the beginning of February and it's Mid-June now and there hasn't been a single mini-balance patch.

They do not care. Balance is fine for them. Reason why I stop playing for months and then come back for couple of weeks and eventually play time goes from a few hours to 1 log in, jumped by 3 or 4 thiefs from stealth , insta a** raped and log of right away.
CC still horrible with no ICD and playing with 3stun breaks or more and dodges still not enough against boon unblocable strip from thiefs. Not saying one should survive most outnumbered fights but dying should be by not being able to ripost and being disabled constantly but to not keeping up with heals and damage receive. (so beatten to a pulp would be more fun instead of rendered useless to counter)

Isnt there a DE trait that is as equally dumb and does pretty much the same without roots but with stealth to compensate the lameliness?

Crowd control abilities not having diminishing returns makes people leave the game. 0 fun being bounced around or turned to death and all you can do is watch since interrupts ignore stability and corrupt boons and so on.
Being interrupted by any cc that can be replied in another 2 or 3 s and repeat until dead is something that makes me think can't does not play the game at all. Not wvw at least
-
Wurm only needs to be instant cast in a game where necro gets screwed for interrupts constantly. Always should ve been instant cast and then instant teleport on second click.
Overall all cast times should be heavily reduced for necro. It should only have big cast times for big reward abilities like gravedigger(wich is fluff damage now after nerfes, its better and faster to just auto 2 times with GS.

> Against both rangers and deadeye, if they move away from you, you need to 180 and run always. Dont try to chase them because they will keep pew pewing while back-pedaling. You need to out of range them when they try to kite you. Then they have to use their cd's to get close to you or you get ooc. If ranger swaps to gs then use nightfall or put chill on him on melee. Best way to win against them is not dying.
Still, a decent thief will not die to that. unfortunately.

since Anelnet can't does not balance CC properly I literally log in for about 30 m see if I get a few hoops before getting ping pong all over the map and then log off. Cant wait for a better game to come around and make them reevaluate all bad decisions in the last years for not listening to customers.

Only bad thief will let you use marks. all they need is constant pressure on necro. they can interrupt and auto attack at ease. this build works perfect against guardians. rangers will eventually wear it down because again , can't idea of balance is having 1500 range damage on a class that has so much mobility and stun breaks and access to boons.

Well Anet does not want thiefs to be balanced. stealth access and uptime plus interrupts out of the a$$ makes it fun fights only for thiefs.
Would love to get people sharing videos of their gameplay ;)

This would fit the tanky boon monster theme of your build so well.

> Always play focus against boon heavy classes. Also you need more damage on gear sometimes to fight these classes to pressure them when they are not chaining blocks, evades etc. Corrupt shout with shout trait is very good against boon heavy classes. Just because they have boons that doesnt mean they can live, even people with all boons die while having them, dont think that corrupt is the only way. You just need to watch out for stab before cc, always remove aegis before cc and prot could be annoying but doesnt matter much if you can cc chain them. Get absorption sigil on gs. Unless you are fighting condi or bunker power rev you should be fine. Power Dh can also give some trouble but you can win if played wisely with corrupt shout. Try interrupt the heal and all power builds get free farmed.

Might give it another go. But beyond core necro condi build reaper cannot keep up with stupid constant interrupts from thiefs. there is just no way.

Play necro in gw2 and its the same. at least its balanced. It will come down to skill and best of all no stealth bull so far. ill def give it a go and see if it takes them 8 years to not resolve basic balance issues.
I dont think any other company will take this long to address balance properly or at least frequently.
