I'm not the best player around, since even T3 is sometimes enough challenge for me. (my level is 65 or so.) But I haven't played in a while, and even I don't remember T3 being that hard before on my necro. Just did Uncategorized and Volcanic. I could of course chalk it up on mediocre groups, but since there's been nerfs, I might be a culprit too.

In my experience T3 is often harder than T4 just because of how much worse the pubs tend to be.

Viper Necro not being competitive in raids anymore hasn't changed the fact that it's braindead easy and safe to do fractals with it. You'll just take like 30% longer to get your fractals done than you would have before. Nothing has changed about it being incredibly safe and reliable in any situation that doesn't involve an enrage timer.
Sure, but going from pretty decent DPS to plain bad DPS is a big hit, and judging from LFG I'm not the only one who has decided to go with more efficient classes. I used to do fractals on ele before the necro meta was a thing, and the last few days has been much worse than back then.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that hamsters died without a healer in about 30 seconds pre-patch. If that's true, not much has changed for 5 Necro because your rats are dying in a similar timeframe pre and post patch. I've done 5 Necro groups since patch and it was fine. :shrug:

When I'm referring to the necro meta, I'm talking about the 4 necro 1 druid meta.

Fair, I was thinking 5 Necro because I saw 5 Necro more often than 4 Necro 1 Druid :shrug:

Doesn't change that Necro isn't still incredibly good for clearing fractals without thinking too hard. If people are incapable of clearing T4s on Necro post-patch it's because they're bad, not because the class's DPS got hit hard.

I used to squeeze into quad Necro groups as the healbot Tempest pre-patch, just like Druids. Now there's a clear divide between the condi groups and the power groups.

Ultimately something has to change about Epidemic before this condi meta can actually get balanced.

I'm not sure what kind of armor wouldn't be disappointing for the legendary tier, but I do like the idea of stuff that moves contextually vs. stuff that's lighting up my screen all the time or being otherwise obnoxious.

It does look super busy, though.

I always imagined Legendary armor as six individual pieces, each with its own obnoxious particle effects. Anyone crazy enough to craft and wear a full set would just be a kaleidoscopic cloud of light with no discernible features.

also add a filter to all character speech so it sounds muffled

Someone pointed out the new bloodstone glider is actually just the bloodstone longbow's model with a few little details added and priced at 500 gems. That's the classic laziness I've come to expect from Arenanet.
