Guild Wars 2

Viper reaper roaming again. This time with some support. Assuming I start making the videos as often as I have been I’ll just do as I did before and use this as the single thread where I compile them. Hopefully you all enjoy. As always please any feedback/comments are welcome. Builds are in the description.

Video 1

Solid play. I don’t have much experience in WvW so there’s a lot to pick up for me in these videos.

(Not talking about Necro’s downsides here.)

Ele support is just soooo good for Necro (in sPvP, it is one of the premiere 2v2 matchups). It also allows the Necro to save Shroud and CDs for more offense. You could’ve duo’d with anything else + Ele, and wouldn’t get as many kills, or as much control through pressure, as the Necro in these situations, I think.

(So many people just eat your Death’s Charge like candy… why guys? Do you like pain?)

Necro doesn’t just perform well at teamfights. It’s called the snowball class for a reason – it destroys teamfights completely, from boons, support to downed state. That is why it has to die first. Even if we take a stack off of Deathly Chill, it’s not going to make Necro any less of a reason to not be the focus of choice (unless they are running some really weird skritt).

With Ele, you solve Necro’s problem of relying on attrition. Less time kiting and dying = more anti-sustain output = lots of forced CDs and dead things. In my opinion, any second earned by a Necro not under pressure is more valuable than any other class. Because obviously we have the best, coolest looking defensive utilities.

PS: that underwater combat… you are now a fishdogbullcat in its final form.

Oh I definitely agree. If I wasn’t duoing with an ele I would have to play the fights very differently. It enables me to just focus on keeping the pressure up constantly on our opponents. Ele/Necro is probably the best pug stomper duo roaming combo in wvw currently.

Ele sustain and healls bother me just as much as necros burst condi damage right now.

Good gameplay nevertheless

It really is crazy how good the heals are. Thankfully as a few of the fights showed, you can down them fairly quickly if you are condi reaper but two wrongs don’t make a right.

Thanks for putting this in community creations despite it’s target audience consisting of entirely necromancers. If you’re gonna move some videos move them all don’t do this where you move some and not others.

Being unable to reach your target audience as a creator is beyond frustrating. Especially when it’s not communicated to the creator clear reasons why their thread gets moved while others don’t. The inconsistency and lack of communication makes me not want to post content to these forums.

I make commentary videos about how to play necromancer in WvW along with videos such as these. The audience simply isn’t going to come here to find that content.

Why, can I not watch a Necromancer gameplay video, in the Necro subforum, learn from discussions between Necromancers, in peace?

I will thank you, moderators, viciously, spitefully, if this means you lost another content maker.
