DragonFury.6243 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Chilling Darkness remove the icd Necromancer have only 4 sources of blindness so icd is redundant Death's Carapace renew when you gain a new one at max stack That will help death magic alot Mark of Evasion reduces icd to 4 seconds As a power necromancer you'll never pick Blood Bond but now at least you can Vampiric Mark increase duration to 10 seconds Soul Eater heal while in shroud Heal for 5% of your Attack in pve and 1%(or less) of your Attack in pvp and wvw Life Siphon Siphon heal nearby allies heal from your foe and Heal nearby allies for a smal amount when you are bleeding. Damage increases if your foe is bleeding. Deathly Chill applying poison instead of bleed that will increase condition reaper dps in PvE and make condition reaper good in PvP and WvW Scourge need a lot to make it good in PvE and not broken in PvP and WvW but what I don't know That what I like to see for my necromancer what do you want for your necromancer? Edit Ps . All of the above is mainly PvE or split from PvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taril.8619 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Firstly, these aren't "Quality of Life" changes. They're buffs. Straight up. Secondly, ICD on Chilling Darkness isn't redundant since one of the 4 sources of Blind that Necro has, is a pulsing well that ticks every second. As far as what I'd like to see for Necro... QoL changes: - Minions no longer being unsummoned upon changing zones - While gliding, minions are temporarily removed and come back after landing (Same as Ranger pet) - Lich Form skill 1 auto attacks by default - Minions that are unsummoned by going into water (While not having the minion skill equipped in your underwater set) no longer go on cooldown. Buffs/Changes - Minion skills cast times reduced to 1s - Chilling Scythe cast time reduced to 0.75s - Gravedigger cast time reduced to 1s - Grasping Darkness activation time reduced - Feast of Corruption replaced by Devouring Darkness - Blood Curse, Rending Curse and Putrid Curse Bleed durations increased to 6s - Lingering Curse now increases Condition Damage by 200 and converts 3% of your Precision and Condition Damage into Expertise instead of buffing Scepter. - Reaper now has 2 Shroud skills; Reaper's Shroud replaces your weapon skills with Reaper skills, but does not replace your health pool with Life Force. Dread Shroud replaces your health pool with Life Force but does not replace your skills (Certain Life Force/Health gain effects are changed while in this Shroud) causing a separation of the Offensive and Defensive properties of Shroud to allow for better balance (Also, to provide a different Shroud mechanic to Core) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I agree with taril, those are buff not QoL, and from my point of view, none of them should make it to sPvP/WvW. My opinion on what's been listed: - _Chilling darkness:_ Ideally they would reduce the ICD to 1s (PvE only). - _Death carapace:_ The issue of this effect is how traits effects are placed into Death magic (which isn't a new thing since it was already an issue before they introduced _death carapace_.) - _Mark of evasion:_ 4s should be fine but again, PvE only change. - _Vampiric mark:_ The heal is balanced around the idea that the necromancer can only trigger the mark 5 time. I'm not sure it's a good idea to break this balance. - _Soul eater:_ Nope! The trait effect is already over the top in itself, there is no way something like that could be allowed. - _Life siphon:_ Ultimately I think it's a bad idea, especially in the current PvP context. - _Deathly chill:_ Poison is way stronger than bleed so it's a no-no. What I'd like to see as QoL: **General:** Defiance is now affected by boon ripping effect, dealing some amount of damage to the break bar. (Boon ripping effects are always considered as successful when used against a foe with defiance.) **Core necromancer:** - Weapon skills that corrupt boons no boon rip instead (also apply to traits using those skills). - _Dark path_ now naturally rip 2 boons, _Death charge_ now naturally rip 1 boon. - _Path of corruption:_ Whenever you successfully rip a boon with a boon ripping effect (do not apply to boon corrupting effects), apply a condition based on your specialization (Core: Bleed (8s), Reaper: Chill (1/2s), Scourge: Torment (5s) ) - _Soul grasp_ and _Locust swarm_'s damage effect now can critically hit foes. - _Summon bone minion:_ This skill now summon 2 Jagged horrors. _Putrid explosion_ has been removed. You cannot have more than 5 jagged horror at once. (_This would give the necromancer a good source of minions that he need to summon regularly._) - _Rigor mortis:_ this skill now daze instead of immobilizing. - Death magic: _Armored shroud_ now replaced by _Lich aura_. _Lich aura_ summon a jagged horror whenever you enter shroud. _Deadly strength_ now remove the toughness bonus from death carapace. _Beyond the veil_ switch place with _corruptor's fervor_. _Corruptor's fervor_ now only grant carapace whenever you apply a condition (with no other effect). _Beyond the veil_ now additionally grant 3 second of protection and 5 stacks of carapace whenever you exit shroud. - _Quickening thirst:_ reduce health threshold needed for movement speed to above 50% health from above 75% health. **Reaper:** - Reduce _chilling nova_ ICD to 5 seconds in PvE. - _Augury of death_ no longer siphon life but instead grant barrier per foe struck by the necromancer's shouts. **Scourge:** - Skill F2-F3-F4 no longer proc _manifest sand shade_. - _Desert shroud_ changed to pulse a buff reducing incoming damage (power and condition) by 10% instead of dealing damage. CD reduced to 20 seconds in all gamemodes. - Shade skills effect now happen on both the scourge and it's shades. - _Herald of sorrow:_ Drain life whenever you rip or convert a boon.

LucianDK.8615 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Minions needs more attention than just in water. -ANY- transform beside shroud will off all your minions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDragon.3046 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The main QoL that needs to be made is on reaper Remove quickness from Reapers Onslaught Reduce cast times on reaper skills 1-5 by about 33% Make them faster at base but not quickness level fast Open up all 3 grand masters again much more equal value. Anything else is more or less going to have to be an out right buff or rework Scourge - full on rework Core - gonna be out right buffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a 1v1 that's a 5k heal over time on top of the 5k instant heal additionally to the passive heal when it is off cooldown. > Soul Eater heal while in shroud > Heal for 5% of your Attack in pve and 1%(or less) of your Attack in pvp and wvw The other way around! 5% in the competitive modes and 1% in PvE. The shroud heal has been too strong in PvE and not PvP. That's the reason why it was nerfed. > Life Siphon Siphon heal nearby allies > heal from your foe and Heal nearby allies for a smal amount when you are bleeding. Damage increases if your foe is bleeding. Too strong. Think about 5 teamed up necros. > Deathly Chill applying poison instead of bleed that will increase condition reaper dps in PvE and make condition reaper good in PvP and WvW We've discussed that a lot and no! Condi Reaper is an AOE bleeding machine and perma poison (33% less healing) for the whole opposite team is not fun.The DPS increase itself won't even be that great as poison is a quite weak damage over time. > Scourge need a lot to make it good in PvE and not broken in PvP and WvW but what I don't know It needs less cleave and more mobility - in fact a complete redesign.

SlitheSlivier.1908 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Add mini life bars above minion skills so you can keep track of your minions health. We have asked for this since day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding Left Alt displays the whole nameplates of nearby allies. Holding Left Ctrl displays the whole nameplates of nearby enemies. **Options exist to have nameplates be shown all the time for enemies or allies**. F11 -> user interface -> show all NPC names.

(If I recall properly it also show health bar at the same time). No that doesn't do what I'm saying. Also you can only see their health bar when hovering your cursor over them individually which is hard to do and you can't keep constant track of them. We need health bars of the skill icon of each minion. Then we can see if we should explode bone minions or use blood fiends before they die, and also when to throw down a heal.

Leonidrex.5649 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 someone does not understand the difference between QoL and buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maultrace.5761 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 QoL for necro? Give us the ability to control pets (all of them at once since there's just too many of them), and i don't mean like attack with this pet, or this pet, i mean like: stop attack, go there, stay here etc... once those guys find a target, i become a prisoner of combat, and bye bye insta mount until they're done with whoever got their ire. That's a QoL i would just cry tears of joy about, aside from them fading from existance once i change mounts too fast, that would be nice too.

LucianDK.8615 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 One curiously suprising thing ive noticed since the latest episode. Necromancer minions used to go on cd when you change zones. No more. That is a major QoL improvement in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
