The Guild Wars 2 Blog Krewe share their thoughts about their favorite MMORPG. Guild Wars 2 Necromancer UnveiledAfter the excitement at gamescom 2010 when the Guild Wars 2 demo unveiled the Necromancer as one of the playable professions, it was only a matter of time until ArenaNet opened the floodgates of information for the master of the undead. Life Force Life force is at the core of the GW2 Necromancer. It's a special type of energy used only by the Necromancer profession.
Death Shroud Death Shroud is a special ability, which can be used by the Necromancer at any time, using his life force as a secondary health bar.
Skills Guild Wars 2 Necromancers have a unique set of special skills, which are similar, but also vastly different to those previously found on these masters of the dark arts.
Minions - The Undead are a Necro's best friend and the GW2 Necromancer continues on the tradition of summoning undead minions to attack his foes and carry out his bidding. In Guild Wars 2 however, every minion-summoning spell now has an associated secondary spell that appears after the minion has been summoned. This secondary spell destroys the minion while providing a powerful effect to the necromancer.
Wells - These are created at the Necromancer's location and are persistent spells that allow a necromancer to control the area around him, affecting targets within the skill's range.
Marks - A new addition to the Necromancer arsenal, marks are ground-targeted spells with a variety of potent effects. "Mark of Blood", for example, gives health regeneration to nearby allies while also damaging enemies. Marks will trigger after a set period of time, but a necromancer can always trigger their marks on command by hitting the skill again. Fear - Necromancers use this removable condition, which is not available to any other profession, to make an enemy run directly away from the necromancer for a short period of time.
Here's a look at the Guild Wars 2 Necromancer in action! Necromancer Weapons The Guild Wars 2 Necromancer has a variety of one-handed, two-handed and offhand weapon items to choose from. Main Hand : Axe, Dagger, Scepter (all one-handed)
As mentioned earlier, each of these weapon sets have skills that give the Necromancer life force. More up-to-date information about GUILD WARS 2 NECROMANCERS can be found here.
Due in no small part to the Death Shroud ability, Necromancers are sure to be one of the most popular professions to play (and one of the most resilient) in Guild Wars 2. Entire GW2 Demo on VideoIf you have a spare 45 minutes I'd really recommend watching the entire GW2 demo video below. It's the whole shebang from start to finish as played at gamescom 2010. Eric Flannum walks you through the entire process of creating a new Guild Wars 2 character, taking that character through the Shaemoor tutorial, into several dynamic events and finishes with the mid-level Charr in battle against "The Shatterer". Along the way he talks about weapons, spells, armor, dynamic events, party formation and a whole lot more! As I said, the video takes around 45 minutes but it's a GREAT introduction to Guild Wars 2 narrated by someone who knows all there is to know about GW2! Level 1 Human ElementalistAnother great video the Guild Wars 2 Blog Krewe found shows a level 1 Human Elementalist defending Shaemoor against a Centaur invasion. It serves as a tutorial and as a way to get people straight into the action and playing the game quickly.
Once again the accompanying commentary is in English by an ArenaNet guy explaining what it is that you're seeing and why it's there. Guild Wars 2 Voted Best Online GameIn what seems like a well-earned and fitting way to end Europe's largest gaming expo, Guild Wars 2 received the award as "Best Online Game of gamescom 2010". From what we've seen it'd be pretty hard to find a more deserving winner. GG ArenaNet! Those Norn are pushy salesmen... Every time I talk to one he insists I "Buy the Bear!"
Guild Wars 2 Character CustomisationHere's one of the best videos the Guild Wars 2 Blog Krewe have found so far. It demonstrates the GW2 character creation process from start to finish, resulting in a Human Female Elementalist. Along the way it reveals how a character can be customised not only in appearance but also in personality, attitude and social standing through the implementation of an individual biography. Guild Wars 2 is going to ROCK! Guild Wars 2 Gamescom VideosThe Guild Wars 2 Blog Krewe have been spending a lot of time poring over the numerous videos that have emerged from gamescom 2010, looking for the best, most informative videos to share with you.
The second video demonstrates mapping and the Scout system, shows how Dynamic Events work (including a battle with the River Drake Broodmother), and ends with a tour of Divinity's Reach. The Palace Gardens have to be seen to be believed... they are visually amazing!
What makes these Guild Wars 2 videos stand out is the accompanying commentary (in English) by an ArenaNet guy who explains what you're seeing and why it's there. Great stuff! Charr NecromancerAnother great video from the Guild Wars 2 demo at Gamescom 2010, this time showing the level 47 Charr Necromancer in battle with a dragon boss known as "The Shatterer".
Human Ranger, Charr Elementalist VideoAuron sent the Guild Wars 2 Blog Krewe a link to two of the best quality videos we've seen. Even though the commentator speaks German in the first video, the gameplay is in English and features a newly created Human Ranger experiencing the beginning of the game.
The second video is two distinct parts. The first shows the entire process of creating a female ranger (complete with a big dog for a pet) and continues on to show that character playing throughout the entire demo content. There's no commentary but the sound from the game is clearly audible.
In total the second video is 54 minutes long but it's well worth the download as it gives a terrific feel for how Guild Wars 2 will be played. GW2 Q&A with Colin JohansonOne of the most interesting interviews I've seen from Gamescom 2010 was the Q&A with Guild Wars 2 Lead Content Designer Colin Johanson. The GW2 Blog Krewe are really impressed with the guy as his passion for the game is obvious and he communicates really well. Some of our favourite things that Colin spoke are listed below.
Watch the video and you'll see why the Guild Wars 2 Blog Krewe are so excited! Pre-Release GW2 VideoJust a couple of days out from the GW2 Demo in Cologne and pre-release video has already leaked of the in-game action!
I'm sure these wont be the last pre-release GW2 videos to "leak". GW2 Video UpdateIn the just released GW2 video update, along with some spectacular video of in-game action there are some great comments from game designers, artists and even Mike O'Brien, founder and president of ArenaNet.
The GW2 Blog Krewe are feeling even more jealous of the people who'll be able to get to the hands-on demo of Guild Wars 2 at gamescom in Cologne, followed by a second showing at PAX Prime in Seattle two weeks later. |
