Condition Build 0/30/10/10/20

Scepter+dagger / Staff

Pretty much the best TEAM based build. Its not easy to learn to play but once you do every team will want you.

I use a similiar build, though with different trait allocation.

And ugh, that calculator is terrible. Use the russian one – http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/

The layout is way more intuitive.

Jagged horror = free revive

I’m currently using:

However, the build that the OP posted has a bit more invested into Death Shroud… I’ll have to try it out to see if the additional Life Force benefits my play style, thanks.

• Lingering Curses and Hemophilia do not stack
• Weakening Shroud only stacks 1 bleed instead of 2 (as it should)
• Greater Marks does not increase Chillblain’s effect and Marks can still be blocked
• Mark of Evasion only stacks 2 bleeds instead of 3 (as it should) and does not work with Soul Marks
• Path of Midnight does not reduce the cooldown of Life Transfer

And Reanimator is bad.

Not much you can do about those things though, if all the bugs were ironed out the build would probably be a lot better (which is sad since you claim it’s the only viable team build).

There are several viable necro builds I play 3 and they are all very different.

So tell us: What are those 3 different builds you can play effectively in tPvP?

By Viable you mean appropriate for 8v8 sPvP where it’s a mindless, non-team game zerg, right? OK.

On Topic: I run this identical build pretty much except I chose Reaper’s Mark and AoE fear on being downed. i find the AoE fear very lackluster, but Reaper’s Mark on teammate revival can be really good. Other times, it’s absolutely mediocre. Such is Necro life, it seems.

How do you find the Death Shroud abilities? In tPvP, since Necros start with 0 Life Force(and therefore start behind literally every other profession in their ‘special’ class ability), I almost never have enough life force to DS. Do you have decent Life Force with those traits?

viable for 5vs5 & 8vs8….running the same condition spam build is mind-numbing you play a class experiment & have fun! You will realise there are several ways to play each profession very well!

I’d love to live in the world you live in but sadly I don’t.
There is only one viable build and it’s name is Conditionmaster.
It’s also sab par than the majority of other classes’ builds.

Navi.1032:

• Lingering Curses and Hemophilia do not stack

This may have been true at one time but is now fixed.

• Base bleed duration = 6 seconds.
• Hemophilia ONLY = 7 seconds.
• Lingering Curses ONLY = 9 seconds.
• Hemophilia AND Lingering Curses = 10 seconds.
