Falcon.8713 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Title + the 10 seconds of this buff once you leave shroud should stay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methuselah.4376 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 That's insane. In 10 seconds you will reach 100% more damage. That's not balanced at all. Either make it that you get the 10% dmg modifier when you enter combat, or keep the functionality as it is and up the modifier to 20% and the time after leaving shroud to 20 seconds.

Kulvar.1239 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 No... But make it improve Condition Damage by 10% too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidrex.5649 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 You are supposed to manage your shroud to have this bonus always up, its the ONLY think necro needs to think about in pve dps rotations lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmoid.7082 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 But why ? If it's for the sake of "more damage" there are better ways. This trait is pretty fine as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Personally I'd root for the opposite, give the _soul barb_ buff only upon leaving shroud. To much offensive power is put on the shroud given it's defensive nature and not enough offensive power is put out of shroud given that it's the stance where the necromancer is the most vulnerable.

Lily.1935 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 We don't need more reasons to take Soul reaping over other specs. Soul reaping is far and away the absolute best specialization the necromancer has, and this works well as it stands now. Plus no self buff in the game gives you such an insane power boost. This isn't Diablo III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taril.8619 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 This really wouldn't do a whole lot. Outside some fun builds like Perma-Shroud Reaper. Since typically, your Shroud will deplete in ~10 seconds anyway (Sometimes a bit faster if you take damage, sometimes a bit slower if for example, you're cleaving with Reaper #1's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchoku.8142 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I would rather convert Soul Barbs to a utility like an AoE Taunt on exit from shroud. Then increase the scaling on power or condition damage stat's slightly. Placing major dps or sustain buffs on traits just feels bad these days because everyone is encouraged to build dps rather than build for specific utility.

This isn't Diablo III. A part of me wishes Anet would gut Soul Reaping just to make Blood Magic our secondary dps traitline, like the good (bad) old days.

Nimon.7840 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Why do people here want to take away dmg from pve reaper, when necro already the "worst" dps class to choose? And even in pvp modes this isn't really overpowered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Ant.1605 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Pretty sure OP meant having the 10% bonus simply by being in shroud rather than just 10s after entering... not stacking every second lol. Afaik, pve reaper rotation revolves around wasting enough time in shroud so that you can enter shroud with well and nightfall again (why getting kicked out early is sad)... what is this ‘10s in 10s out’ thing all about?

KrHome.1920 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Soul Barbs is fine in PvE. It's a damage multiplier (which necro lacked for years and we should appreciate any of these we get) that does even need some management to keep it up, so it demands some actual gameplay from the player, which is good. In PvP/WvW this trait does even put you into a disadvantage as it's a nice indicator for your target when your shroud comes off cooldown because its duration matches the shroud cooldown. When you fight a soul barbs reaper all you need to do is keeping an eye on that green symbol when you burst him and prepare to disengage when it disappears as he is about to re-enter shroud (unless you did not chill him to increase the coooldown). Of course most players aren't at the skill level to make use of that circumstance. But the potential to put you into a disadvantage is there.

LucianDK.8615 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Id like to see that too. It can be quite a pita to keep an eye on the soul barbs buff in groups, when you get a zillion buffs beside your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost damage coefficient and condition stack/duration so solo DPS do not suffer too much and when in a party, when you can get 25 Might / Fury / Alacrity / Quickness / Banners / Spotter, the DPS would rise further than it can now and compete with Dragonhunter ! It would still be selfish (take without giving), but at least it would be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
