Guild Wars 2

Hey there.
I won’t be abble to play my necro before this weekend and therefore cannot see the real impact of this patch from my eyes.
I just looked at it and someting came to my mind about a pvp build that could maybe suit to survive a bit after those changes.

Please pay attention that many talents / skill on gw2skills are note up to date. Refer to patch note to understand those points.

Main questions:
1. Signet of Vampirism + Signets of Suffering + Spitful Renewal = Nice heal with conditions removal?
2. According to point 1, Signet of Vampirism passiv => Remove conditions also when stuck?
3. What about combo: Spectral Grasp => Swap to Greatsword => DPS with Greatsword / Reaper ?

Again this is just a base idea for a PVP build to suit from now til PoF.

Thanks for your feedback / ideas

Wow first answer and it’s from someone that didn’t read the post…
Please pay attention to what’s written before answering

0. NO
The changes anet made are nerfs and trash and the build ideas and combos you suggest are also trash

1. It used to corupt enemy boon into conditions. It doesnt cure your own conditions in any way. Probably reading error from you.
Also the heal ammount is low level trash, its always but was worth it for offensive corrupts. It is nowhere near of a defensive monster like warrior healsig

2. Passive effects dont trigger heal procs.
Heal minion doesnt triggger adventure rune bonus, the proc only happens when you press the action skill itself

3. The typical new player trap. Sounds good -doesnt work, in short.
Slow, SIDESTEPPABLE, OBSTRUCTED BY PEBBLE, blockable, blindable, dodgeable, invulneable, reflectable or destroyable, projectiles are UNRELIABLE trash.
+ the follow up skills of trashsword are even more unrealiable
+ even if it worked it isnt worth a utility slot, it should be a simple weapon skill

Youd need to be at wood level division playing against clicking Anet devs to make those builds and combos hit

Even if?:
Spiteful Renewal: This trait now triggers when you use a healing skill instead of when striking a low-health foe. ?

In short term this talent is not working if using Signet of Vampirism

1x condi removed every 30s + 1k heal

vs.

spammable cover condi and ability to do 25% more damage on the main cleave combo

….
The cleanse minor isnt bad, but if its gonna be used it with smappamble low CD shout heal and maaaaaaaaybe with traited coruptions, as it removes the annoying blind on CoCo.

1. Passive heal from vamp signet is worthless, you won’t heal anywhere near enough hp at the rate shroud decays especially if someone is hitting you or you’re using a skill, even less when a combination of these 2 things happen.

2. Spiteful renewal only activates when you use a heal skill, passive heals don’t count. Additionally, it’s 1 condi in a condi heavy meta, you’re more likely to cleanse a cripple than the 10+ stacks of bleed/burn/torment/confuse/poison that’s killing you.

3. I’ll agree with flumek about this, though as a side note, the 4 other projectiles seem to target randomly, so you may end up pulling something or some one at the very least. Still rather random, slow, and unreliable to be worth a slot imo.

I hate to be that guy, but everything you built is already obsolete, I tried mm power, mm condi, pl condi, boon rip condi, boon rip power

Nothing works because our elites none existent, everyone elses elite is here and in full force
