omg i love where scourge is going, i got sick of druid sup being meta

My grandma could faceroll with scourge, so stop playing the victim guys, it just proves and proves some players shouldn't play this game to begin with.

 

I thought you were trolling, now I know you have some kind of cognitive impairment.

Do you actually believe that necromancers are SOOOOO Op in pve that they are excluded from raid just because it would make the content trivial???

Well, that's not how things work around here.

 

When a class is so OP and makes content easy to play, people exploits the shit out of it. We would have 10 reapers raid meta (or a 5 reapers fractal 40)... and surprise, surprise, we don't.

It's the entire oposite, necromancers as a whole are EXCLUDED from raid content by the community. That's not necros fault, not player base fault. It's ANET's fault for not being capable of balance their fucking game.

Do you have post nerf logs of how these necros perform?

I'm not mad about the Scourge changes. I'm mad about the August 8 shroud / life force nerfs. I'm forever angry because of those changes and that was the moment when I switched to Engi main. I want my Power Reaper back with 7sec cd on F1 and an extra -25% LF decay! I don't give a kitten about Scourge.

I'm not rerolling because I already have other characters, but the enjoyment derived from the class has one down that's for sure. My second favorite is a FB. I love the heavy armor looks compared to the icky ball room dresses light armor has, but it's squishy compared to the necro and I prefer the headcannon of holo monsters following my techie asura.

 

As someone else said, they can buy , pick a class because they enjoy the mechanics, play the game, then come out of it happy with the experience. Or they can buy an MMO, pick a class because they like the mechanics/theme, then have a dev randomly approach and decide to change, nerf, remove, add, and the class they were enjoying is gone. Now what? Pick another? Start over? Myeah.

 

To say no one noticed this bug in all the time of the beta is sad. Sad. Sad. Really sad. Pathetic even? Perhaps not, but at least sad. It has to come out as it is to suddenly have a dev go _'Oooooooooh wait, this isn't good, lol!'._

 

Unfortunately this is not just GW2. One of the last patches when I was still playing WoW introduced new skills. A week later one of them for the Hunters was nerfed in FIFTY PERCENT! Not five, not ten. Not even fifteen. But fifty. Because apparently it was too strong when combined with a different skill and with one of the legendaries. Did no one test this? How did it leave the spreadsheets and come to the testing stage, then the game, and no one noticed? ...because there was no testing, maybe?

 

Were I a bit meaner and I'd say these 'bugs' were actually know, devs aware of, buuuuut allowed to sliiiiiiide so that new players or old players would be oooooh, so nice, so strong! Must play! Of course once the honeymoon is over it's back to business.

 

I don't expect common sense such as tweaks to increase power to come along with a bug fix that is a huge fix.

It's not like they didn't see it, they showcase it when they show the scourge before PoF release. They put a shade in a pack of dummy and litterally burn them to death with happy smile on their faces. They chose to be blind about it.

It was free nerf along with a change to signet which was horribly bad design. Curiously I'm angrier about the fact that they chose to promote passive gameplay (with the change on SoS) than the fact that they directly and arbitrarily nerfed the shroud uptime. For me, it would have been ok to change the effect granted on use from the trait so that it doesn't step on the toes of the scourge but no, they chose to throw us stats point to reward us if we don't use the active... Their choices of developpement for the necromancer are all incredibly toxic. SoS becoming an incensitive to play passively is one thing, but corrupting boon becoming our "bread and butter" instead of staying a tactical move isn't better at all.

And the icing on the cake of those nerfs is the "buffing" of reapers onslaught right after to promote camping shroud for damage after having nerfed shroud uptime. It's like someone in another thread said, there's teams of people doing these changes and are not communicating with each other about what they are doing.
