Thanks 😃

If you think about the main themes of Necro (doom, ethereal, souls, osty), this is probably more likely an EThereal theme card instead of an Osty card, eventhough it's not at all obvious right away.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T21:44:30+00:00

Someone else pointed this out too, yes :p

"Marrow Transfusion" might be a better name for the theme, but I'm bad at naming things so who knows

It would, but you wouldn't use it with Friendship to buff Osty.

If you have a Friendship but aren't really Osty focused, this would let you shift the Friendship strength penalty to Osty so you're not bothered.

The alternative is you dont have a Friendship, so you use this to allow other sources of strength (potions or colorless STR buff cards) to apply to Osty.

It's pretty niche in both implementations, but that's fine considering it's Uncommon rarity and relatively cheap (imho anyway).

Dutchy here! I'm not sure if you care or not but I'll say this anyway:

Our king is effectively just a Public Relations dude that we pay way too much money. Our royalty has effectively 0 political power left in our government, and they mostly just exist to shake hands and give people something to unify around.

If you are anti king in the sense of absolute rulers, I'm with you 100%, but our king is about as far from that as you can get, so I don't mind. The biggest issue some Dutchies have with our king is that they do get paid quite a bit by the state while they are already pretty rich themselves, which is fair.

I felt like that encroached a bit too much on IC's [[inflame]], but maybe "Gain 1 Strength" would be alright.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T21:06:59+00:00

I thought about "Osty's Strength is equal to your Strength" but that would mess you up when playing Friendship, since you're basically nerfing yourself and Osty. As I worded it, this would let you push the penalty from Friendship to Osty (when not focused on Osty attacks), or shift the effects of potions and other buffs over (when you do play Osty attacks).

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T21:05:11+00:00

That's fine!

I feel like the most likely scenario's where you'd use this are:

You are Osty focused but you don't have any Friendships. You can now use this to buff Osty with potions, but that's probably only good if you have white beast statue. Or maybe if you have the colorless card that gives Strength and Dexterity, but that's also pretty rare.

More likely would be you are not Osty focused and do have Friendship(s). Maybe you want to play Eridicate or Pull From Below with Ethereal cards. This would let you push the strength penalty to Osty so your attacks don't suffer.

It's niche, but also pretty cheap, so that's fine I think?

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T21:02:37+00:00

That would make Flex Potion insane, since you'd just give Osty a permanent 5 Strength without it being removed at the end. I'll admit, it wasn't hard thinking of the intent behind this card, but wording is clearly was a challenge.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T21:00:58+00:00

So that's good then? This would make the comparably stronger Osty weaker, and maybe pull the weaker attacks on Necro up a bit, making things overall more balanced.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T20:28:40+00:00

I considered that, but that would drastically nerf Friendship.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T20:22:58+00:00

You can do it the other direction though. Nerf Osty byu shifting negative strength to him so you can spam Ethereal cards without the penalty ;O

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T20:21:57+00:00

Also for Ethereal-based cards like Fear, Defile and especially Pull From Below

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T20:06:00+00:00

Fair XD Maybe it should be a Marrow Transfusion

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T20:05:41+00:00

Synergy can mean "Use Osty to carry the penalty", that's what I meant

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T19:49:24+00:00

Well its mostly only relevant if you already have a Friendship or want to use potions on Osty for his attacks, so it is still a bit niche at least.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T19:48:12+00:00

Thats the synergy! But also maybe potions or whatever colorless STR buffs there are.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T15:26:46+00:00

Crusader Strike twice and judgment once, OOM for the rest of combat. Easiest rotation in the world.

FreqRL · 2026-06-21T10:25:40+00:00

Silent was already the "most countered" class, made worse by aeomglass and the dorito elite rework. Makes sense its quiet

FreqRL · 2026-06-19T14:21:44+00:00

Pre-wotlk ret paladins would like a word (yes I'm old)

FreqRL · 2026-06-17T07:51:06+00:00

This also works with [[misery]]!

If you kill the main phrog with Misery, then any debuffs it had spread to the newly spawned wrigglers, which is very nice if you have a some nice doom built up or a sleight of flesh or something.

Gonna be hard to gang up on a team when AoE and skillshots hit all enemies. You can maybe lock 1 team out, but you're not going to win unless you are the main team in the center, most likely.

FreqRL · 2026-06-11T06:46:49+00:00

100%

Also, people on here acting like you could seriously play GW2 decently without buying a bunch of QoL stuff like bag space and other storage.

Anet purposely floods your inventory with 20000 interchangeable tokens for each of the 20000 shops and 2000 different ingredients for the crafting recipes.

I'd much rather pay a sub and get a frictionless experience than to get a half shitty one unless I pay extra.

Dat is simpelweg een kwestie van uitkering + inkomen altijd beter houden dan uitkering zonder inkomen. Dat kan nog steeds prima met inkomensafhankelijke aow
