My Necro Charr is now Level 74, resting in the Black Citadel after doing every Personal Story quest chain from Level 40 to 60. Doing the Vigil quests was somewhat different. During the phased story parts, it showed the past Lion’s Arch before the rebuild.
\nI got stuck with a Norn named ‘Warmaster Forgal Kernsson’. I don’t like him. He’s a real hardass (yet would make a fine Charr). He does somewhat loosen up as you eventually rank up to Warmaster, to the point he tells you he lost his wife and daughter to the dragons, which is why he’s so rough around the edges.<\/p>\n
Yet watching him sacrifice himself, so I and the rest could escape to Lion’s Arch? I really had no sorrow. He’s just not like Tybalt was. He wasn’t funny. He wasn’t a cowardly ex-Iron Legion soldier who sold apples that got courage from watching me fight. He just… wasn’t like Tybalt. I dunno.
\nBut at least, I can finally keep Tybalt’s memory alive as a Minature. Had just over what I needed to get one from the Trading Post, and he’s been accompanying me on my road to Level 80 eversince. It’s so awesome to have this; to see his face again. Makes me very happy.<\/p>\n
.
\nAnyway, I’m having my doubts that I can defeat the end-PS dragon of my Level 80 Personal Story. I’m surprised I actually got this far. It’s just, my DPS is still questionable no matter how many times I upgrade my gear. I keep getting good pieces, and I’ve been trying my damnest to make sure everything has Power in it. But I just feel I can’t kill quickly. And with this, I’ll just be slowing down everyone else and be ‘carried’ through the dungeon.
\nI hope this is what I went though as Beniee, when he did his first run in that dungeon. Granted, I was familiar with the whole Ranger class. Being a Necromancer is different. Making sure I don’t accidentally pull aggro off the Warriors or whatever when I do my AoE attacks. Maybe I’m just underestimating myself, and it’ll work out at the end.<\/p>\n
Well, I need to get down to where Trahearne is with the Pact, and fight my way there. And also, if I ever do decide to make a 3rd char, I think it’s going to be an Asura Thief.<\/p>\n

\nEDIT: I’m now 77. I got three Tombs of Knowledge to get me to Level 80 if I really wanted to. Part of the Level 70 Personal Story questline was different. Was in charge of leading a group through Risen-infested lands. Then when we get there, I was overseeing the bombardment of Risen… only for them to be Pact members. So now I’m being blamed for a mistake I could’ve sworn they were Risen. Obviously something’s going on here.
\nHave an option to look into this, or save this group in the volcano to make it up to them. I chose to save. Turned out to be a trap. Obviously, we got a Orrian spy trying to make me look bad. After the battle of Fort Trinity (which we won), Trahearne and I went to confront this ‘Charr’ who turned out to be a Orrian Messmer. Killed and now people respect me again, as they should.<\/p>\n
So, as I said earlier, I could ‘cheat’ my way to Level 80 or work for it. Either way…, I dunno if I want<\/span> to get to 80. I’m going to be bored again. But I think the main problem with my Necro (which I feel will doom it if I try to do that dungeon with four other people) is there isn’t that many self-useful traits and abilities. It truly feels the Necro is mainly used for Dungeons and WvW, and not soloing. . Overall, it does feel weird doing the same exact questline I did with Beniee, as my Necro Charr. Though there are differences of what organization I went to this time (and there will be again when I ever make my 3rd char. Have him join the Priory).<\/p>\n .

\nKeep looking for something that will bump up my DPS, yet all I see is either “helps allies” or “buffs allies”, being my only options. There’s also these “hurt yourself to hurt your enemy” ones that I’m avoiding.
\nSeriously, where are the “increases your Power” or “Makes your minions hit harder” options? Are they all in the Blood Magic tree and that’s it? I like putting more DPS in my pets than myself, as they’re the ones defending my ass.<\/p>\n
\nPersonally, I feel if you managed to kill Zhaitan(for good) as any one of your characters, then all the chars of your account don’t have to as he is dead.
\nThough of course, I don’t even HAVE<\/strong> to do the dungeon part of my Level 80 Story questline. I can just do the soloable parts and then say I killed Zhaitan. I killed him as Beniee, he’s dead now. Let’s leave it at that.
\nBut say the devs actually did<\/em> make it like this. How would that affect the Personal Story? It would screw it up. There would be no point of making the Pact of the three groups of defenders (of their own way) to stop the Elder Dragons, except for dealing with Mordemmoth and his minions of the expansion.<\/p>\n
\nEDIT2: Made a thread asking why the ‘Hide Personal Story’ option in the Content Guide thing, wasn’t working. Basically, was thinking of hitting 80, just not doing the dungeon and not being annoyed by it telling me to go there. See, I’ve seen that message since I started trying to get to 80 without doing the Personal Story questlines.
\nWaited a good half an hour for a response. Someone eventually did, telling me that it’s OK how I don’t wish to do it, then mentioned the dungeon “just changed a week ago to become a solo instance”<\/em> A… A SOLO INSTANCE?! WAIT WHAT?!?! HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME!! \ud83d\ude00
\nPraise the gods that it’s no longer forced group content! It’s good they finally listened to their players and saw how stupid and unfair it was to have the Level 80 PS questline be gated behind group content. Seriously, if I wanted to do a dungeon, I’d LFG. I wanted to defeat Zhaitan with the Pact, instead of four other players. It just seemed weird having this mechanic in a “personal” (aka soloable) story. And now, I CAN!!! \ud83d\ude00 I am so fucking happy. Now there’s a point (in my favor) to get to 80!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
