They’re just so easy to kite, it’s hilarious. I even ran scepter/focus and staff with ghost walk and signet of locust for a while just to piss them off even more.

Love removing stability as well, I didn’t even realise focus 5 removed boons, but converting to fear with corrupt boon is even better.

I even had one complain I had too many fears even though warrior’s fear probably lasts longer than all of necro’s combined, though I’d rather lots of short fears than 1 long one anyways

Drop reapers mark on yourself when you see them coming
> Rush → feared

Trait reaper’s protection
> Rush → feared

All else fails
> Rush → F1 Doom → feared

I believe you can also stunbreak out of rush.

Just wait til you meet a competent warrior that uses stability with their bull/100b combo or bola/fear/100b.

Good luck trying to fear that, even built tanky it shreds through a full DS in a second, just gotta hope you can corrupt in time afterwards assuming they don’t immediately whirlwind after and evade it. =p

But yeah, warriors are laughably kitable, overall.

You talk about kiting warriors with that build but where is the part about defeating it?

100b Warriors make me happy.

Rush → 1 of several options.

1) Spectral Armor and eat the 100b for the free Life Force
2) DS and (depending on the build) eat the 100b with Life Transfer+ Retaliation or AoE Weakness
3) Well of Darkness
4) Plague → Blind/Weakness/Cripple
5) Necrotic Traversal (for you MMs)
6) Spectral Walk juke, if you had it running
7) Dagger #4
8) Dodge → LoL
9) Fear 4TW
10) Flesh Golem KD (if he doesn’t get stuck on terrain)

There’s probably a few more options. Long story short, bola+rush+100b is really overrated. It leaves the warrior very exposed, and it’s very predictable. GS Warriors and DD Thieves are my favorite opponents to fight because they’re so focused on 1 combo. If that combo doesn’t work they try to bail out, and necros can be very hard to disengage from.

Something that makes Necro fun for me is it can be built to completely negate bursts through a variety of methods. Dark Armor + Spectral Armor + Siphon Life (Dagger 2) provides a net health GAIN, if you count Life Force as “health,” against all but the hardest crits from 100b.

100 B is as predictable as a BigMac, but i can assure you: most necros out there are killed by that combo, you wanna now why? becouse they are as awful as those warriors you are kitting.

The problem is much warriors just try to do it at the beginning of fight, when the enemy has all his sources out of cooldown. Besides, this combo is not so effetive in 1v1. Is much better if you take the enemy unprepared. Just my opinion.

I find my hammer works great on necros, get them down lo low HP, they pop their death shroud to try to stay alive. I just stun them, use knockbacks and knockdowns, by that time my F1 skill is recharged, rinse and repeat until dead

Also works on Thiefs Backstab.

Hammer/CC spec warriors are about the only thing I will exterminate with extreme prejudice in wvw when on my necro, as our access to ‘stability when it works… sometimes’ is quite limited.
Kill-shot specialists will also take a huge, steaming kitten on you if you don’t see it coming.

Popping DS with Spiteful spirit also works quite well, especially if they catch you by surprise. I probably should’ve specified, running spectral walk and signet locust was just to kite for fun, not so much to kill them quickly, but they do die eventually. Even so, they are still ridiculously easy to kite.

I don’t kite warriors.

I /dance while the wells and marks take a big smelly one on any melee that comes near me while at the same time keeping my health full and my kitten extended.
