Guild Wars 2

Greetings ,
introducing my new necro build :
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vQAQNAoYWjc0UebjN+1webCB6RvgLgYkijJYoU4OpDA-TIAAyEfB

I believe this is currently strongest 1v1 build in game , didnt have any trouble at all against most of good players ,
Runes : energy/earth for both sets

If you have trouble in tourny with landing dhumfire u can swap for path of corruption

enjoy.

P.S. Dont comment until you try it , This build was already ok last patch with same setting and berserker amulet , now celestial is op and this build is alot better

Trick with this build besides the Dhuumfire change is DS regen(What dagger 1 is for) and you have the get used to the Spectral Walk/Flesh Wurm timing to teleport around/maintain mobility. This is a great roaming build in wvw as well unless your on a majorly overpopulated server matchup.

I tried a similar build recently except I used a carrion amulet and scepter instead of dagger mainhand. It seemed strong but I felt like I had too much to juggle around with the usual running for my life as a necro and trying to land DS1 for burning. I wasn’t running the teleports though, maybe they would be the secret to buying time to get off the skills. I’m beginning to lean towards running them nearly all the time, though.

now celestial is op

I don’t think it’s op for any class and least of all for necros, and it never will be unless you’re able to heal in DS.
Healing Power is still a mostly useless stat for necros, so unless you’re trying get a very specific amount of other stats, celestial gear will not be used to it’s full potential with any necro build.

That’s a very bold statement, I’m sceptical to say the least.
Also, if it’s really the best best 1v1 build, shouldn’t you’ve been able to defeat all players instead of just “most good players”?

Anyway, if you happen to be on the European server and you’re really that confident in your build I’ll gladly challenge you to a duel! ^^

Good build. Also played similar stuff before the patch.
Still my main concern with hybrids is teamfight potential. For AoE-ing stuff down powermancer or condi builds with epidemic are simply better, although i don’t have much experience with condi.

@flow Maybe healing power isn’t the most usefull of attributes for necro but everything else on celestial is great.
DS and staff (used by nearly every build) profit from power stats(pow,prec,fero) and condi and the class mechanic is pretty much face tanking which is more potent by adding in defensive stats, so in my book nec is a candidate for celes.

I play a hybrid build myself, so I know you’re making a valid point, but in my experience it’s usually more effective to shift some of your stats in one or the other direction rather than having the exact same amount of everything.
