Guild Wars 2

I want to run solo with my necro and flip camps but I end up drawing them all to the aoe bomb spot then having to tank all of the damage from the 7 or more NPCS at once. I usually have to kite away after dropping a couple and I don’t want that interruption. Can a necro take a camp in under 30 seconds solo? IF so how?

I can die to the NPCs in as fast as 6 seconds.

Conditions and epidemic make it pretty easy actually…. just make sure to have high duration, stack the claimer, don’t waste your epidemic while blinded, and don’t standin the blind fields or get stunned by the melee guards. 30 Seconds is no problem if you hit all your skills.

Assuming you are talkin un-upgraded…. if it is upgraded no one clears it in 30 seconds, there are too many mobs, but condition necro can do it in a few pulls pretty easily in a few minutes solo.

If you run power you can draw them to a certain spot (every camp has one) and AOE them all down in 20 seconds or so. With conditions I find that having some more condition duration helps a lot with epidemic. If you want to you can pop plague and spam 1 to help clear it faster.

I usually draw them all to a corner drop a well and death shroud> life siphon> dead. Usually the only thing surviving by the end of that combo is the supervisor

axe 3, DS 4 then 5 while running in circle, wells, dag 5, marks, loot, next

i usually herd them together, drop wells, (axe3, whorn5), marks, life transfer and dps down whats left of them.
when i want to be fast, i use lich form for the last part, but it’s overkill normally.

Warhorn 5 axe 3 staff marks 3 2 wells ds 5 4 1 1 1.

Just one tip for condi, let the veteran guard attack you 1st take his immobilize and send it back, then dodge his charge.. after that it’s just spamming on him until you can use epidemic and spam your plague bleeding.

20-30 sec for a camp it it goes smoothly.

Don’t answer, it’s a trap to nerf our class even more!!!

LoS them behind a wall and aoe burst. Also if you have an ele friend you can melt the entire group with fiery exploit rush.

I solo roam on my Necromancer more than anything and I find it very easy to flip camps once you get the hang of it.
I don’t know about 30 seconds because as a Necromancer we have no way to disengage from a fight.. And everyone isn’t going to be the same as myself but I’m always very, very on edge when roaming (which is a part of what excites me and makes me love it so much) so I try not to rush anything while still keeping eyes on the back of my head.
Back to the point though; it usually takes me around 50 – 60seconds to flip a camp. I first pull and kill the Quarter Master since she’s always furthest and the easiest to kill. Then I aggro the entire camp, turn around and get some distance until the melee guards and the Supervisor de-aggro, and the pistol guards will stay aggro’d allowing you to DPS them down without having to worry about the heavy hitters. After that the other 3 are butter assuming you’re not letting them stun and immobilize you every time.
Overall I’d just say, do it as fast as you can without a) nearly killing yourself. Because if someone comes along to defend the camp you’re going to make yourself an easy kill and b) always be aware of your surroundings.
I understand that you can pull them all in to one area and DPS them all but I’ve never personally done this and have no trouble pulling and flipping the camp quickly as is so, I’d say which ever method you choose it’s really not hard to do once you now what you’re doing.

Clearing all mobs takes me < 15 seconds and I can begin capping before swords pop.

As a power necro:
Switch utilities to well of corrupt, well of darkness, and well of suffering. Lure mobs to a single point and drop darkness well to avoid being stunned/interrupted and then the other two. Pop into ds and use ds4 and by then only the lord remains at around half health. You can do the same well strategy and instead of ds use lich form and just spam auto attacks. everything melts.
