Guild Wars 2

I didn’t stand in any wells, and a necro applied 5 conditions that I cleared, and he put 5 more on right away. Then I get slowed, and I can’t even out-run that. I’m out of clears at this point.

1. What just happened/ how?
2. What the kitten am I supposed to do here?

I have over 1900 toughness and was downed in 20s.

Necro can hit you with a full set of condis on one weapon set, a full set of condis on their swap set, and then a full set of condis with signet of spite. Oh, and if they’re running corrupt boon, they can do it a fourth time.

There’s nothing that you can do about it. You don’t have enough dodges to avoid everything, and even if you did, it wouldn’t matter because any not dumb necro dumps their load when you are feared. Condi necros are insanely broken, and you will never beat one that isn’t terrible.

Well that’s fair.

Gonna watch tv until Dec.

You just need a non glassy burst style to beat them easily. Don’t expect to beat any good condition necro with a bunker, low to moderate dmg d/d build. Make a necro and play with it for a bit in spvp to learn its playstyle. Also your toughness have no effect against conditions dmg.

They are beatable with brust builds as long as you run a focus.
Basically try to dodge their marks so they waste a few condies at least.
Then clear the first set of condis with your magnetic wave, cast an air 4 if you have time since some of their skills are projectiles. Be very concious when you burst and always cast an instant blind on them cause even if you cc them they will go to deathshroud and respond with the instant doom(you can activate arcane shield when you burst as a preccution if you think its worth it and will end them ).
Wait for their spectral armor to wear off ,los when you use etherer renewal and be in air ready to blind the fear mark and abuse their low mobility to use the terrain around you.
Tbh necro isnt that hard with that weaponset but its EXTREMELY hard for me at least with d/d.. even the bad ones. Dont try a bunker or sustain build against hem cause then they ll just win and basically try to respond to them.
Signet of spite is a kitten but you can dodge it.But the hardest part i noticed in a 1vs1 against them and what will probably get me killed is the chill.
If you get long chill on you (ds 2 ,chill mark condi transfer and c boon etc) and you have earth and water on cd then you are pretty much dead meat. You cant respnd to them anymore and you just sit there waiting to die even with focus offhand

Don’t agree here. You can beat a necro with both but 30 in water really makes it possible if you are not burst style.

Most non glassy burst style ele’s run ether renewal and any necro that knows the slightest on how a ele works will interrupt it. I never have had a problem with a ele on my necro unless it is 30 water. 15 in soul reaping(meta condi necro always has 15 in SR) and not being afk pretty much ensures that you won’t get instagibed by burst type s/d eles because it is alot of different attacks that give you alot of life force whereas a thief is 3-4 burst attacks so you can’t refill lf again.
