Guild Wars 2

Hello and welcome to this forum, and i know that i shouldn’t really be doing this on forums but i seen some threads showing their necromancer pvp video. Which from this i also wanted try this out , i wanted to show that necromancer are still vital with all downside feedback about AI, fear and utility being not efficient i still feel that necro have a place in PvP. And want to show that necromancer aren’t as bad as what people make them sound.

Condition Build (montage)

Nice video and well played.
I think the people who make the necro sound weak are a minority, but it’s predominantly them who come to the forum with complaints.

Btw: Brace yourself, comments asking for your build are coming.

Having watched every Necromancer montage I could possibly find, IMO you’ve got decent to good fights.

Also, because:
1. You know you should transfer the Ele’s Churning Earth bleeds back for a condition burst, and
2. You demonstrated a fear-interrupt of a heal (many talk about it, but I very rarely see it practiced)

+1!!

PS: Anyone having reticle-targetting issues for marks or scepter skills should seriously watch this video closely.

I agree with the people who say that necromancer is rather difficult to play successfully and therefore maybe considered weak – in the right hands they are a menace.

Liked the video, very well produced.

So, as far as the fight where he trasnfers back those conditions on a churn, it is a matter of move and counter-move. The ele failed to counter move by going to water and clearing those bleeds. That is a serious fail on his part, as he should have known the necro would do that. I had a very similar situation happen just the other day, and after I marked them back, the ele cleaned them off 0.5 seconds later. This ele had water up, he just didn’t use it. Showing a good use for mark 4 though.

Also, the majority of the forum go’ers accept that necro is very well off in Spvp, balanced if you want to use that word. It see’s play at all ends of the spectrum. Most people have issue with the class cast times (a problem everywhere) and the class mobility (a problem in wvw). One of the ways to improve this situation is to move while using targetted ground skills (like what the OP does).

The class is basically built around watching that little white/red/blue circle, so it stands to reason they would do well there.

Love the game play and smart tactics as usual and keep your build a secret we don’t need anyone using it against us in TPVP muwahahaha

Thank you all for the feedback much appreciated

These were some really good fights, and you show some exceptional skill. I am curious of what your build is, but I understand if you want to keep it secret. Or you could PM it to me if you just don’t want to post it publicly.

If you watch the video closely, then you can figure out the build that he is using in the tPvP.

I personally like using Sig of Undeath in tourney, and in general well played necro is one of the viable additions to a team. The biggest issue for PvP necro is that the skill floor is very high compared to the other professions due to the lack of outs and the limited ability to avoid damage (you have to mitigate instead to be effective).

Nice vid though. Does a nice job highlighting some of the profession’s strengths. Hot Join Heroing with a strong AoE necro makes for good lols.

Yeah, I think I figured it out just by doing that. What I’m not sure about though are what sigils/runes and if hes using the 33% scepter duration trait or not.

Probably Shaman Ammy, shaman Jewel, Undead Runes with 30 curse, 20 Death, 20 Reap (soul marks)

I would like this video if it weren’t difficult to watch.

The quick cuts, zoom-ins and the cutting-off of the UI bugged me greatly.

Just as I was enjoying the action, one of the above would happen and completely ruin the experience.

Good enough play though. Wish some of the opponents were slightly better.

Thanks for posting.

Fool of a tuk! cutting off the UI? i mean come on man you should know the move that’s used? zoom ins are useful in terms of explaining what actually occurs and quick cuts are use for transitions.

The reason why it seems like the opponents are bad is because the person in the vide made him look bad however I do admit some of them were bad but the player himself is probably even better than them?

It’s more cutting off the boons, conditions, and HP bars than skills used. You can still see the skill without the UI.

The simple white text that was used sparingly was good enough to explain what occurs. Zoom-ins disrupt the action and mess with the view of the battle. They actually make it harder to tell what was going on as it takes the eyes more time to adjust afterword.

The cuts for different fights are fine and they are needed since they happen at different times obviously, but making cuts in the middle of fights again disrupted the flow of battle.

Fair enough but I guess in my opinion I didn’t really find any disruption within the action it was perfectly fine, I don’t really see a problem of my eyes adjusting to the pace however this may be due to me seeing lots of fast pace mmo/fps editing videos.

I think when you mean zoom in, it might be in terms of the in-game camera as there is still a minor problem with it.

I agree with you in terms of cutting the fights in the middle as it will be disrupting the flow of the battle however as some GW2 clips sometimes consist of 1-4 minute battles (which can take a huge percentage of the video) it would rather be difficult on when to cut and continue the fight.

That fine, i guess some some people do not enjoy video when they are edited i total understand, i guess it makes the video slightly hard to watch. But anyways thanks for the feedback

Very good player nervs and I liked the video.
