Guild Wars 2

I am relatively new to necro and at the same time am striving for my Dungeoneer title (Why you ask? October 23rd cannot come soon enough). I have come to a place where I need to run HotW regularly and P2 and P3 are great….. until the final bosses.

On land I run DS/dagger build with wells and it is shockingly fun to play and remarkably pug resistant. Once I get in the water the wells are among the worst designed pieces of crap in the game. I mean who doesn’t want a big blob obstructing your entire view of the boss that actually never gets triggered or does any damage? And 1 flipping elite and it is plague? I mean who doesn’t want to see sub 100 ticks of bleeding on a boss that has an ungodly amount of HP? And seemingly so little life force drains that I am almost never in DS.

Anyway, enough complaining…. what do you guys run on necro underwater and what sort of rotations do you use? (keep in mind I almost exclusively pug these paths so I can’t exactly rely on a solid team and min/max myself)

Plague blast is pretty nice, so you schould look for a schroud build.
Don’t know enough about the class to make further reccomendations though.
And this thread may belog in the necro subforum – just sayin’ ;D

Trident 5 -> Spear 32 -> DS 511111111 till you get below 50% life force -> spear 32 and auto till full LF -> trident 5 -> DS and so on. And spam the 2 wells whenever.

Nothing calculated or optimal but what I’d use if I’d have to do UW stuff.

Condi can be brutal on an underwater necro. The DS skills are pretty much all condition oriented. Plus, if you trident 3 into the ground or wall and follow up with DS 2 you can get instant 10-15 stacks of poison to then epidemic around if needed.

I think spear 5 is a dps increase over the auto attack, and using trident 4 for a sink is always good for making it easier for eles to rush with water 5, but you are right

Might be a minor increase but screw that, I ain’t going to CC myself.
