Guild Wars 2

You know what as a power player and not a fan of conditions i can say power scourge is quite fun! I had a fear i was going to hate it but there is so much dmg and spam capability.

I was tanky and yet i was able to 3v1 in a few matches against random other toons. The only complaint that i have is barrier is wayyyyy to short of use. Please reduce the degen by half at least. Otherwise barrier is nice but it only will take like 2 hits then gone.

I tried Power Sourge and you do so much AoE, it’s crazy. It’s a little harder, since you need to plant your Sand Shades and all, but overall, it’s doable.

Yep, barrier need to be more durable.

I’ve found that with Mender’s Amulet and Transfusion, Power Scourge is much more durable than you would expect. That’s an instant-cast 5.6k heal on a 15 second (12 with Vital Persistence) cooldown.

scourge is so durable, just keep using the barrier when its off cd in a fight, its so cheap to cast.

Only with a Power build, though. Condi builds lack the life force generation to keep that up.

Im doing Menders amulet scourge 3,1,1 blood 1,1,1 and soul reaping 2,2,2. with axe and focus and staff 2 wells and w/e the armor utility is that gives life force on damage taken with the lynx rune Barrier for me personally was strong as ever between summoning a greater shade to place barrier on a friendly or myself and the f2 the heal skill and desert shroud was able to make some clutch saves with it. The well grand master made it pretty easy to heal off melee cleaves while rezzing also.

nah, ive been running carrion with a well timed spectral armor, gives you lots of mileage.

Nicee glad to see fellow power scourge!

I’m currently running a blood wells scourge.

Blood 131

Soul Reaping 321

Scourge 313

Rolling paladin or Barbarian. Still getting the feels.

I think I’m curses any,2,2. Sr 3,2,3. Scourge 3,3,1!

It weirdly does work, and you have lesser issues to build lifeforce if you go a bit tanky, dagger is better for this than scepter. There is also a weird mix you can play with Transfusion, Spiteful Spirit and Feed from Corruption that gives you a pretty nice amount of boons with axe and dagger mainhands.

I’m wondering if power scourge will work. Is it just me or will Celestial be good for Scourge? Healing power for barrier, power for your attacks, condition damage for the boons you corrupt, plus vitality and toughness.

I’m maining Scourge, but I really have no idea what kind of stats I should aim for.

Yeah celestial will work well with Scourge, i think. Too bad it isnt a thing in spvp anymore…

All of those only affect a target once, no matter how many times an area overlaps.

Exception in Unyielding Blast, for some reason.

It doesn’t work twice if you are next to the shade but not in his area of effect?

No. Only ever works once per target.

Idk,

I have celestial on my reaper ankitten ot even tempted to run it as scourge. Scourge doesn’t really make huge use of healing power from I’ve seen. Barrier just doesn’t gain much from less than 1k healing power afaik.

Not sure how people are running it as power even. Has to do like no damage in anything less than full berserker gear.

I think scourge+bloodmagic would work well with cele (atleast better then other nerco builds). You can use all the stats. I probably would run staff+ dagger and some offhand.

After having a bit of time to mess around with it, I am going to try out a celestial build, with the 1 big shade traited instead of the small ones to reduce having to cast them so much since having to recast shades all the time seems to be the crutch of the spec, and if you go single shade and have to ditch burn on torment for it it automatically reduces your condi DPS by huge amounts.

it will also not be condi focused, it will still do ok condi damage, but it will be an all-around kinda toon.

Sure if you want to do zero damage and zero corrupts.

The question wasnt what i want but what would work best with cele stats and any other build i can think of would be better off ether going full condi (or full power).

I know that something like curses, soul reaping and scourge (with condi gear) would currently give much better results but i am certain we will see some nerfs to those builds.
