Guild Wars 2

Yea, it works. And I got to Legend with it.

Core Necro might need a buff… who knows. But what I do know is, I can still kick kitten with it and so can you, if you play smart and know your limits.
In any case, the guide is in the link below and the build as well. I go through, the skills, traits, and fights with 3 prominent classes in the solo q meta. Dragonhunter, Mesmer and Warrior.

I ran a nearly identical during offseason. Was definitely fun.

I disagree with your rune choice. The only advantage sunless has over nightmare is the 6pc. But with 180sec elite that isn’t much of a trade. The transfer on Nightmare has good synergy with plague’s self-bleed, and is even better if you have other condi on you.
Outside of elite usage nightmare is just plain better.

I think you are overvaluing sigil of rage too.

Experience has proven my choices right so, it’s not even a question. Rage sure has a 30s cooldown but when it procs….. it’s definitely worth it #L’oreal.

That’s a cop out answer.

Rage is uncontrollable, if it was deterministic it would be good, but it’s not.

How? I’ve tested playing with it, I’ve tested playing without it, and I know it works from comparing the matches. It’s really that simple.

Deterministic. If only it was. Fact remains though, when it procs, it does it’s job. That’s what matters to me.

Crin, usually ceimash builds are… a bit “ceimashy”

But in this one,
the sigils really help. It frees you up from the usual need to setup poc+swap combos.

Its a glass build yea, and base necro lacks cleave…… but man, ive never oneshot a warrior so hard like when i tried this today

Haha! “A bit ceimashy” and awesome user testimony as well! Woop! Woop!

I ran core necro in unranked before last season, i think i went power. Gave this one a shot and its pretty fun. Not sure exactly what the procs were or if was just chance but i gotta say it was fun seeing people seemingly drop to downed state out of the blue. It is a bit squishy but nothing terrible imo.

Looking at this match, I see only a good but not shining build winning a lot of 2v1.
Nothing extraordinary, but you’re a good player and can make your build work enough to make it viable.
Not a 1v1 to show how you can kill someone, but fight against classes with low access to stability and with breakstuns in cooldown is for shure a good way to win.
The best thing i see in this video is that you found really good allies, able to join you every single time you find someone in your way, killing your enemy. more or less every time you fought an enemy in this match you was near to lose then come an ally to kill your enemy (or ress you). Basicly you don’t kill anyone in this video…

But it’s good to see that there’s still good necros hanging around

Haha, thanks for the compliments dude. You should watch the guide, the tips & tricks section shows me in 1v1s.

I seen them, and you’re already fighting bad players, probably in unranked. The guardian, the best fight you show in your video, is not a bad fight but he is really bad. Wasted his breakstun just to come to you, while a sword 2 was better, didn’t use his pull proprerly, no activation of schield or LB to push you out of the trap to push-n-pull, and more.
The warrior was so bad that he is for shure a daily player in unranked, he don’t even tried seriously to kill you.
The mesmer was just there to get killed, all the time long under your pressure without any good movement, any good counter, any burst, wasting the moa and more.

But for shure you used they bad play to kill them easy with an old build no one use anymore.
You’re a good player and that’s all that grant you to kill these players.
I can’t say that your build is good, just because is totally countered by an insane amount of classes (if played by a good player), but for shure you’re good to use it.

Hope to find you in some matches and have some fun togheter (fighting as ally or enemy).

It was in Ranked but it’s fine if you think they are bad players. It’s not like you’ll be fighting Sindrener or Misha in every match in Ranked. Most players are on the level of the people I fought so… whatever you choose to think is up to you.

So I gave this build a shot because I like core Necro. Toyed around with the utilities a bit. I could never get much effectiveness out of cpc or spectral wall. I did however love using well of corruption with this build. So basically just went with the build exactly as it is in the link.

Overall, I’d say it felt alot like playing P/P Condi Engi. Strong condi burst and low sustain. Well of Corruption was great for me personally cause I couldn’t resist team fights and it was very helpful against Warriors and Eles.

It was actually really fun to play and surprisingly effective. Too bad it’s the offseason, but I’m gonna toy around with it a bit more tonight.

In the last days, using my guardian, I fund some players using a terrormancer build on core necro trying to kill me. They was so easy to kill that I don’t even needed to use my elite, two combo and they’re dead.
I think that someone out there is trying your build, with low to nothing success XD
That’s not a build to try without a good knowledge of this class and a lot of sPvP experience and who try it just to try will find a painful end.
For that, I remember to everyone to play this build only if abe to handle it (at last in a real fight against someone that know what is doing and is not a low level casual player)
