Siva Mira.3546:

I see…
I am running S/WH with Earth/Geomancy and Staff with Energy/Geomancy, Rune of Krait. From my experience, I think WH is superior to Dagger and Focus. When you add Cele + WH + Barbed Precision, it can get very scary.

I’d prefer the condi transfer and weakness considering I have more condi duration With 30 in spite and with the 5th bonus from curses and ctd and cod and air fire sigils if it crits on scepter 3 or on the third attack of the scepter auto it’s pretty ridiculous. I’m also using double wells sa. It’s a very very very glass build but along with de I’m not losing 1v1s and I can stay ranged until I’m going to suicide bomb someone. And yes I do suicide. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but I was dead either way when I do it. It’s not as though we can disengage Reliably.

I know it’s hard for people to accept that new and different builds might actually be viable, and I get a lot of flack for using celestial…

But time and time again, my performance with celestial exceeds anything I could do on a berserker in the same situations when focus-fired. This is the biggest point. Numbers, theories, and calculation is one thing, but when a necro gets focus-fired by a whole enemy team, theories go out the window.

The extra bit of defense and mixture of damage goes a long, long way. I’m telling you. I don’t know how else to prove that celestial on necro is viable.

Not saying zerker is worse; it’s still a good option for certain comps. But put any berserker necro in the same situations as these and they would insta-die in the blink of an eye:

In that first video, that warrior would have been down had you been a zerker necro. The you would have tore up that engi afterward even more than you already did.

Second video those players were super bad, the warrior watched you rez and the ranger ate 2 wells. Downing the engi was nice but never would have happened had your ranger not peeled for you. By the way are these the same players as last game? Is this hot join?

Last video is just tearing up rangers blowing cooldowns too early, not dodging, standing in wells, and not evading in the case of the condi ranger.

Plus you can change your skills at the beginning of the 3rd video. This is hotjoin. You’re a decent player showing videos of killing baddies like it makes celestial meaningful.

I never thought Scepter would do that well in Power setup but I am not a fan of Well playstyle.
