I'd love to add a poll - but it's members only thingy.
Hopefully it can be added later.

SR underwent some massive changes and in the end the players were left with the option that was pushed from the start BUT we were also left with all the extra baggage that happened in between.

Simple question:
Do you think that Soul Reaping is underpowered in PvE and does it need to be buffed?

Yes
No

Why?

Thanks!

Does it need a buff in PvE? No.

Would I like a buff in PvE? Yes.

I still have unlimited energy, but during those rifts in the 15 second period, I lose alot of it, and I want it back, but it doesn't come back, so I cry.

Just kidding.

Underpowered? Hell no.
Soul Reaping is fine.

Having an effective 10 energy regen is enough for me.

N1ghtstalker · Apr 13, 2008, 02:21 PM // 14:21

no it's perfect like it is
good energy gain for each kill without being overpowered

Tyla · Apr 13, 2008, 02:25 PM // 14:25

No.
Seriously, if you want a more powerful energy engine in PvE, I would be forced to call you mad.

IBQQ&Butthurt

Also, no, it is not underpowered.

I think he's trying to prove that the people visiting this forum are stupid...

Clarissa F · Apr 13, 2008, 02:45 PM // 14:45

^^judging from comments so far, it's not working.

It's not underpowered. guaranteed 10e per death at 10 SR, on top of normal regen, is nice to look at on the energy bar. Considering how fast a necro makes things die, I never have energy issues.

Turbobusa · Apr 13, 2008, 03:07 PM // 15:07

No, I always get the 3 triggers and never run out of energy.

Calista Blackblood · Apr 13, 2008, 03:10 PM // 15:10

soul reaping is fine,for gods sake anet leave it alone

Thierry2 · Apr 13, 2008, 03:11 PM // 15:11

Soul reaping is fine as it is. Never had any problems while playing necro in PvE.

Olim Chill · Apr 13, 2008, 03:13 PM // 15:13

SR is fine the way it is. It rules, in fact. I think most everyone who plays a Necro would agree.

Upier - are you toying with us?

Kawil · Apr 13, 2008, 03:35 PM // 15:35

The nerf to soul to 3 times in 15 secs was, I thought, one of the better nerfs there was. I play a nec (and usually only a nec) so it did have an impact on my game. Underpowered--no. Would I like to get energy from everything like we used to (and all the time)--sure. If your running out of energy constantly as a nec, either you don't know how to play it or you need to add some runes, insigs and raise that soul attribute up a little.

FoxBat · Apr 13, 2008, 03:42 PM // 15:42

I know what you're implying, but Anet devs communicated that the SR nerf was for PvE (specifically Hard Mode) too. Too bad they completely gave up on PvE balance since EotN.

Knightly Bird · Apr 13, 2008, 03:51 PM // 15:51

The only thing they could possibly do to make it almost useless would be to make minions not give soul reaping benefit, though it would not be COMPLETELY useless, it would be a bad day for the necromancer.

Ate of DK · Apr 13, 2008, 03:57 PM // 15:57

My Necromancer hasn't been complaining about mana ever.
Soul Reaping is working fine in PvP and PvE atm.

wilderness · Apr 13, 2008, 04:03 PM // 16:03

Coolest primary in game, imo. I hardly ever have energy issues with my necro.

nec/rit healers = infinite heal if you kill fast enough. SR is overpowered in certain situations, it certainly doesn't need a buff.

Stupid?
Hell no!
Why would a person that plays PvE be stupid? I play PvE almost exclusively - so that would be like spitting against the wind.

Here is a sub question for the people that think it's "fine" - do you think SR is balanced in PvE?

It's almost in the same league as Ursan, but in terms of energy management.
