EremiteAngel.9765 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Necromancer forum is currently sitting at 96 discussions compared to the next highest profession Mesmer at 55. I always thought players who like necromancers were mostly dark and foreboding, like necromancers. It turns out we are quite...chatty! Just curious why we are creating almost twice the number of discussions as other professions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadnir.5038 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'd chose all of them if possible... I like the last, but I'd change the wording: Necro like to create numerous thread so that they can have more dead thread to revive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ara.4569 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 People stay quiet when everything's fine. Scourge (and necro as a whole) has a lot of issues, both in design (but it's hard to build a workable spec on a flawed core to begin with) and balance (don't get me started, it's wrong on so many levels it's driving any logical mind to insanity).

Allarius.5670 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 In my personal, general, anecdotal, limited experience, most forum posters have disagreements in some form with the direction or implementation of their chosen pet profession, but Necromancers and Mesmers stand out as having the most forum goers that fundamentally disagree with the underlying design of their profession and agonize over it rather than accept Anet's vision.

To be fair, this is partially ANet's doing by stating their vision, then making changes that move away from the fulfillment of said vision.

Who would accept to eat turd at every served meal ? Most necromancers ? Then I guess I'm ill-mannered for spitting in the "soup". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating kittens is indeed horrible even for worst of villains. How, could they? Monsters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdock.6547 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There were too many fairly valid choices, imo. I should have put other. But it is true. Necro players have a LOT to gripe about. Like a lot. And the class has a cult following of a lot of players. (I think engie has more problems, personally but it has fewer people playing it) OFC each class has things that annoy them. I'm annoyed on rev by the fact that power is pretty bad and healing is scoffed at. Necro? Power is garbage, healing doesn't exist, any sort of group utility AT ALL is either irrelevant or completely useless in experienced (and even most inexperienced) groups. Condi damage is reliant on a gimmick and has been since viper horrors, epidemic is more or less the anchor that is keeping necro from floating away into a sea of total uselessness, and deathshroud is insanely limiting and necro complaints seemingly get ignored by the "Second healthbar makes you tanky" arguement. Not to mention buffs come slowly and are bizarre while they do not even address underline issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefiris.8297 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 PVE necromancers have more reason to complain, that's it. No secret there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralkuth.1456 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 No matter what people think Forum Necromancy is a valid branch of magic. Every dismayed groan from checking the last user's post date compared to the (intentionally or not) oblivious fresh Necro restores 1% of our maliciousness ~~and as Tesco tells us, every little helps~~. It's why we can dodge the burnout and keep coming back to play/study the way of the Necromancer in these 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldirtbeard.9834 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Other: We love the idea of the profession how ever we've got to riot and set cop cars on fire to get our disappointment across regarding the mishandling of our class for the past 5 years. So while Necro may not be META for Endgame PVE it sure is META for Forum Raids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighteluden.2974 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 With each profession update they screw us up somewhere thus we have to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EremiteAngel.9765 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 How goes the PvE dps testing for scourge and reaper though? Scourge seems optimistic in the other thread by Kam. Does this show we are quick to gripe without testing things first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dralor.3701 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Necro has always been one of the core classes in WvW, imo second only to the number of guardians in zergs. Would be nice if anet showed us the class representation across game types and in general I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyel.1843 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Well, after browsing the profession forums it seems like Necros whine and complain the most (not saying that there is no reason though but for me it's a bit too much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rym.1469 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 There's a crapload of people who like the class in PvE because it's the best at slaughtering content solo, so as the consequence class is more popular. More than a half of them don't have any better understanding of game mechanics, gamemodes played at decent level, but will gladly jump on a negativity bandwagon they noticed on reddit or forums. Voila, the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you know, they could be dedicated players who notice the DPS and/or mechanics simply are poor and try to give more feedback than usual since people generally don't want Necro in high end PVE or content or meta SPVP. But who cares about facts right? Lets blame "negativity" rather than objectively poor gameplay performance for all this abundance of negative feedback. Oh and the "necro highest population" option for this thread is not supported by any poll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroud.2307 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I just enjoy forums and chatting with people in general. I used to join open chat rooms in early 2000 because I like to explore peoples minds and make new friends. I feel that a lot of people are more open and honest on the internet and I like to pick at their brains. I also very much enjoy helping people in any way that I can and I find forums to be a great place to do so. It doesn't have anything to do with being a Necromancer main for me.
