Guild Wars 2

I was able to churn this out a bit quicker than I expected. Some of the INTRO/OUTRO I posted before was changed to fit certain fights in.

This is my build: http://www.intothemists.com/calc/index.php?build=;04-8c;0kHkH0G4wJkJ0;9;4T9;0T19B3;626A4BG0I;1OZG5OZG55Bk

Special thanks to LuckyIrish from TL for the duels.

Very good dueler build. In good hands, this is a rock solid build. Love the soul reaping traits.

Some very nicely times Fears, Wails and Dodges. Alot of people underestimate the potential usage for Doom but F1 > 3 > F1 is an almost instant 1.25 second Fear that can be used for alot of stuff such as interrupting, pushing people off cliffs and pushing people back into a Necro bomb.

Also loving the use use of Axe in WvW, its taken alot of criticism over the past couple weeks because of its viability but i think Ghastlys Claws channel time and cooldown is too good to pass up when it can put out 6k to 10k damage which you can make stick with Wail of Doom beforehand.

I am surprised your using Weakening Shroud over Chilling Darkness though, i would of thought it would be mandatory when using Well of Darkness for the AoE 1.25 * 5 second chilling, i suppose when they fix Plague of Darkness though you will be using it?

Keep up the good videos!

I also agree with the above post’s pointers. chilling darkness would be a much better trait for this build.

Very nice work mate. Even if I hate the channeled skills you did a fantastic job with them. I always get interrupted, stunned, or just hit by a truck every time I think i can use the ability so I guess i am biased against them. I tried using wail of doom to buy time for me to use the channeled skill better but doesnt work for me.

But yeah keep up the good work, loved the video overall and the points you showed in the video will help other necros alot.

That trait slot was more of an afterthought for me since I actually use Toxic Landing there for WvW and I spend almost all of my time in WvW. However, I might switch to it when I’m just looking for fights and will definitely switch for sPvP.

Thanks for the heads up.

The nice thing about channels is that they are a counter to block, blind, and dodges. Some of the damage is going to get through and it typically won’t get totally negated like a burst damage ability.

With dagger, axe, and deathshroud you can do three channels back to back.

Not so much underestimate as forget that it is there because of the 3 button combo needed to pull of at a moments notice just to interrupt someone.

Had it been sitting on its own F key, so they could quickly tap it when needed, they would likely love it and use it as much as possible.

Epic, even trough i still think that Staff or Scepter/Focus >Axe Focus but to each his own i guess. But one thing, Dolyak runes regenrate for 30 hp flat, Lyssa, Mad King or Melandru runes often outdo them in how useful they are in fights.
