Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Now that fear has become an interupt, I was thinking how well the perplexity runes will damage.

So I’ve come up with this kind of “terrormancer” build and would like to have some feedback from you!

This is mainly for small group / solo roaming WvW.

( It may be on the wrong topic/post etc, feel free to move it.)

How has this been workin out for you? I was considering running this for small man WvW as well but I don’t want to get the runes without hearing that its working out.

Hi. I actually run Perplexity Necro sometimes when Im roaming with my mostly rabid armor set (save Dire rabid accessories). I have to say that I do enjoy the spec in fights and its very good for team roaming, say like 2-3 people. I use it in 0/6/4/0/4 spec and It works out pretty well. I think the spec itself is great with the new Strength builds going around with eles and thieves and offers you a way to keep the punishment going. It is good for punishing those who stun break a good deal as they will have to take the bulk of the confusion. Combine that with dark pathing someone with retaliation, and you can get a good deal of confusion on people and spread with epi. Still, the CD is kind of lame, But since I never got to use it before, It seems fine. The 4th bonus will probably never land on a priority target, however, so dont even consider that worth noting. Sometimes it even lands on mobs that got pulled during some fights ( who get killed instantly from everything else). Overall, I still prefer my power build for most team fights, but worth using in Team roaming to mix things up. Im not sure If I would have however if I didnt already have the runes as I dont play condi much but atleast it is fun.

It’s more a theory, I have almost all the parts, just one more accessory then I have that build 100%, but i havent found many roamers, just huge zergs and that I can say, I dont have a chance against :P

It’s obscene. Condi Necro was always near the top of the dueling pyramid, Perplexity just cements it. 1.8k damage per skill use at full buffs if they trigger both of the rune’s effects, on top of all the other garbage you’re throwing on them.

The only downside is that you’ll sometimes burn a decent amount of the Confusion duration while they’re running away from Fear, but it’s so broken overall I can’t really argue that as a disadvantage with a straight face.

Perplexity doesn’t cement the condimancer to the top, anti condition build kitten the kitten out of them, I have to say it makes them stronger, but still squishy and easy to down/kill

Intresting, I’ll try it out a bit.

fun build, I am missing most of the procs and condition application (tick) but the constant fear makes most thieves and mesmers call for backup.

Been trying it out, though have to say like Merlin, the CD on the proc of runes isnt enough, its better to have more con dmg from scavenger for a better fear tick IMO, so its fun, but meh in the end, thanks for feedbacks!

i have actually run perplexity for some time now in WvW.. try using off hand warhorn if you feel like a change from dagger. warhorn’s daze can be really good in 1vX, and the run speed is always welcome for this particular class.
