Guild Wars 2

I have played warrior for the past 2 months and I’m getting kind of bored of burst DPS roflstomp so I’d like to change my game up a bit with a new toon that is specialized in DoT damage.

Scholar class-wise, what are my options as of now? (after buffs\changes\nerfs)

Thanks in advance.

I think you mean with DoT you want a condition build (some AoE skills like e.g. meteor shower are considered DoT, but cause off the short duration and local effect range, its more a dps skill). First you have to understand that conditions are considered weak compared to other kind off skills. But with the right traits and gear and skills it can be pretty good (almost awesome).

Though both the ele and the mesmer can deal nice conditions, the best scholar class is the Necromancer. They really know how to poison, fear, bleed, poison, cripple, weaken and torment foes.

My favourite is to go to deathshroud, use one skill to torment the foe (give them dot thats increasing when they move) and then fear them (force them to move away triggering the bonus off torment).

Necromancer.
