Give the necromancer damage

Melzo

Here you take a fire staff and no matter what you do, you have no damage. The Necromancer has the worst dps in pvp among all classes and loses almost twice. Even if you take control with a staff or two miserable hits of your own, you cannot kill the enemy. You just have to switch to melee and play through dot damage or be a bomber.


Give the necromancer normal gameplay, give the necromancer damage, give the necromancer control.

God, I don't want to see this shame for another 6 months. What is the wrong balance?

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't blastbones hit harder than 90% of delayed burst skills?

Build for more damage and use blastbones and skull. Good damage?

I don't know never played necro. But I get hit by blastbones for ridiculous amounts.

It deals damage every 3-4 seconds for 6-7ka damage. The whole gameplay for the necromancer is blastbones and spam ability. If you pick up a melee weapon, the spam ability deals more damage and you have access to finishing skills. On the other hand, if you use staff, then the whole gameplay without synergy is blastbones and spam ability + weapon sets and proc sets. If the necromancer had access to finishing skills at a distance like plar or nb, then the situation has changed, but this is how you deal damage to the enemy and when he has half his life or even less, you lack damage. DPS in pvp necromancer has the worst. Especially after the latest patches. Spirit and mage skeleton nerfed.

I'm not arguing that there are bomb builds or melee dot builds but I want to fight using a staff. Why can't I use the staff?? It literally forces me to play the meta. I understand that the meta is the strongest state of the class, but non-meta builds used to work at least before, and now you can’t even take a staff in your hands. There is no damage.
