Guild Wars 2

Hi guys

I’m gonna start playing SPvP with my Necro, and I don’t want to faceroll (MM), neither want to be meh (Power), because I’m new to SPvP.

I leveled with a condition spec, so I’m quite familiar with the playstyle of Scepter/Dagger and Staff.

1. Is 30/20/0/0/20 still the way to go?

2. How are Condi Necros doing in SPvP overall?

3. Are there any guides that actually show the rotation and some tips?

4. What utility skills should I use? And should I use Plague Form or Flesh Golem and why?

5. How do you manage Death Shroud? When should I go in and out of it?

6. What is the role of Condi Necros in SPvP?

I hope you can answer all my questions
I’m really looking forward to spread some terror

Thank you

6. What is the role of Condi Necros in SPvP?

1. Yes

2. Very strong, if you know what you’re doing.

3. Don’t know.

4. Adept to your team composition, the role you’re going to play in it and the opposing team.
But in general: you can never go wrong with Corrupt Boon + any stun break + Epidemic or any spectral skill or another stunbreak. For example: CB – Epidemic – Spectral Armor, or: CB – Spectral Grasp – Well of Power.

@elite: Golem makes you stronger, Plague means team support.
That usually means: if you’re fighting 2v3 or 3v4, Plague will do more for you and your team. But 1v1, 2v2… Golem>Plague.

5. Damage mitigation. Any damage you can take out of your life force pool instead of your regular hp means you’ve done something right. In the process of doing that you’ll learn to incorporate damage rotations as well, but protecting your health pool is the most important thing.

6. Damage.
And to a minor extent debuffing enemies so your teammates can bring them down more easily.

1. Necro condi builds support a wide variety of trait selections now. I get pretty good results with 10 30 20 10 0 believe it or not. If you want to go Dhuumfire (most people do) you’ll have to go 30 20 something though.

2. In sPvP they do pretty well against most classes but get facerolled by warriors (who doesn’t). Diamond skin eles are impossible to play competitively but impossible for conditions necros to kill.

3. Nemesis has really nice in-depth guides for most necro playstyles, I don’t know if they’re up-to-date, but I learned from him.

4. You need AT LEAST one stunbreak. The utilities depend highly on team composition and which build you’ve chosen.
First utility: spectral walk/spectral armor/plague signet
Second utility: spectral wall/well of darkness/signet of spite/epidemic
Third utility: spectral armor/well of corruption/corrupt boon

Plague form is brutal in team fights (when traited for chill particularly)
1v1 Golem is much better for CC every 30s.

5. Condi specs should mostly flash DS for the terror. If you need an immobilize you can hit DS 5. Otherwise the only reason you should be in DS is for sustainability.

6. Roam a little, but mostly stand around the points and rain condis on the other team. If you can get an epidemic off in a team fight you’re golden. Plague form on a point is nasty too. Necros have the easiest access to an interrupt with DS 2: use it on stomps and heals for some clutch play.

How does DS2 interrupt?

It doesnt. He means probably DS3 (fear), but strictly it is not a interrupt as it never adds to my interrupt count for dailies….

Ahh and i would take fleshwurm and spectral walk as utilities. Those allow you, if used smartly, to survive most things and makes warriors surprisingly easy (use them to survive the zerker stance then kite the hell out of the warrior).
