Guild Wars 2

Long story short, I’m loving my power necro [played it tons in pvp already, so I’m v familiar with it] but what does a power necro do on fights like arah 2nd boss? Some of the fights and ‘skips’ mean you have to go ranged but max attack range is 600 which will still get you killed, or pull whatever mob the other lazy stupids in yr group are trying to avoid having to cope with.

But seriously, even sceptre with a power build will be doing not even half the damage of axe, which is already the kitten of everything. Staff I couldn’t even imagine auto attacking arah 2nd boss with nothing but staff 1.

help?

Most power axe builds will switch to DS when they need ranged. That’s what I do anyway,,,

I’m thinking more when it is required to do the whole fight from ranged. Most, if not all groups at some point in a dungeon will complain about JUST USE RANGED for one boss or another

There are bosses and events where you just have to adjust your build. Be flexible in your choice of weapons and utilities. Do not feel like you must force your power/axe build to work on a boss where range is important. Switch to a staff and manage group conditions even if you are traited for power. Staff 1 is not too horrible even if your dps goes down. Sometimes you just have to trust other professions to pick up your slack. Being downed is more of a problem for the team than your damage being reduced.

I’m running staff/dualdagger. For more range options, DS and Lich Form. Just last night, Life Blast was hitting ~6-7k crits in Arah, so combine it with Time Warp and profit.

which boss? To be honest most bosses in Arah can be meleed and they should, problem is people using LOS glitches to avoid dodging and boss mechanics :/
