Comin’ In HoT

So right now I’m doing a lot of playing in Guild Wars 2.  As of this writing, I’ve got an Asura Necromancer up to nearly level 24.

Who’s a widdle despoiler of life?

Specifically, the build I’m running (I think? I dunno, the whole way traits work now is weird as hell) is about conditions and slow hurty.  So, I’ve got a staff when I’m in large group actions and an axe and focus when I’m tumbling around solo.  The weird thing is, though, that when I’m using the axe it operates at range.  The whole thing just feels…disjointed.

Blaugust Day 2 – Why I Tank

I just never was the DPS sort.  I mean, I’ve played the class enough times, but a great amount of DPS’ers really just feel they bring one of two things to the table–either DoT hurting or burst hurting.  You can color and cover it any way you want, but a Scrapper is a Ninja is a Thief is a Necromancer.

Tanking, however, feels different to me.  More vital.  More nuanced.

…well, as nuanced as one can be while being a giant monster dude with a huge spear.
