Guild Wars 2

Hi. I’m going to make a few Viper Ascended armor to use on my Necro through 40~50 fractal levels (the enemies keep getting boons), but I wonder if Necro is vible at higher levels. If is, what stat should I use, is Viper ok? Or I should add a little vitality/toughness?

Go with Vipers. While expensive, it will also allow you access to raids. Necromancers are also currently top tier for fractals due to their ability to tank a lot of damage through skills like “Rise”, shroud and a high health pool, without having to put anything into vitality or toughness.

For daily use Viper is the best choice. With “daily” I mean you have no problem with the first three tiers: levels 2,10,x; 32,40,x and the third 56,67,77.
Above this levels you will encounter some real challenge. Personally I found Viper is good in almost every situation but for some fractals you may need more defensive stats.
To give you a solid example: in Cliffside fractals levels 62 and 82 I had to use a specific build with lots of blinds and Trailblazer’s stats. It’s hard to survive at those fractals with a squishy build as Viper’s one.

Reaper does pretty good in champion fractals (Only have experience with the dailies). Personally I run Valkyrie armor with Berserker weapon and trinkets. With the added vitality, large defensive mist potion and rise, you can just facetank Mossman without moving. Also you still hit 100% crit if you use Valkyries with decimate defenses and food.

Viper is the next set I’m working on just to finish up to 100 with condi build

i am more built as a tank , but does well, Blood/ death/reaper using zealot stats for weapons, zealot stats on helm/chest/legs, and clerics on shoulders/gloves and boots, and trinkets are an even mix between cleric’s and celestial( because there is no ascended zealot stat trinkets) which makes its stats more like major stats power/healing/toughnes, and lesser stat in precision.

I can hit 100% with valkyrie armor, berserker weapons, the trinkets that combine these two stat sets, and fury.

I am using Ossa’s (Crusader with 4 stats), and I can tank fairly effectly, I also echo Beserker stats on trinkets and weapons.
