Guild Wars 2

I currently run MM with soldiers or sometimes I mix in some zerker gear. I have been thinking about trying a 20/30/20/0/0 build with dire gear. The build would be for WvW mostly running with s/d obviously.

Some questions I have for the Necro community, has anyone had success with a build like this? Would you still take terror? What runes/weapons would you use? (I was thinking bleed duration and givers weapons.

What would you use 30 in curses for? In pve/w3 , dumbfire is unnerfed , so i would definetly put the extra 10pts there

Yep. I’d say 30/20/20/0/0, Dhuumfire is pretty strong, and all the crippling you’ll apply will just hide it even harder. Condi MMs are strong. Take terror.

Runes I’d personally run Melandru, sigils should either be leeching, hydromancy, or geomancy with w/e you want as the second on the set, weapons staff + scepter/focus. Condi duration won’t be a huge deal, because food+30 spite will give you pretty much all you need.

Good advice with adding dhumfire but with full dire I just felt like my crit would be too low to justify it.

You don’t need all that high of crit to run Dhuumfire, and you can actually take Lyssa to boost it a bit

A ran a dire MM build today in WvW, and I noticed a death nova field when I used the active on the bone fiends. Was it always like this or is this new?

They’ve always proc’d Death Nova, to my knowledge (or at least for a long time), the confusion is generally because they do not proc the additional direct damage.

Ah that explains it. Thanks Bhawb.
