At current state, it is either go condi or dont come.
What I am experiencing while using the wellmancer with every Stability skill/trait I can. Using couple of skill combos such as :full wells; 2 wells and one of the two spectrals(not grasp); 2 wells and wurm. Been using plauge with everything. Armor is marauder with some bits of valkyrie and zerk trinkets.
Problem is that it doesnt matter, I always get focused and get tired down quickly. I know how to position myself and to kite, but there is only so much Necro can do in terms of mobility. I’m using Wellmancer build cause it is very group friendly.
Any build suggestions? or maybe I just need my teammates to support me better if I am doing everything I can?
It removes the enemies’ facetanking boon shield and replaces it with heavy attrition. Obviously a support character is a great pair but really any support at all is good. That just takes allies who understand reapers benefit heavily from even small amounts of support (lolswiftness please). When on revenant I make a point of standing near my reapers to ensure at minimum they have perma swiftness. Still working on being mindful to glint wing super speed them as well as give them protection boon from herald f2. Reapers really do contribute heavily to a fight if supported properly and I don’t mean lolepidemic.
I run with the blinding well(?) if im getting focused hard. It can’t give any hard numbers but i feel it’s saved me a few times. Maybe drop plague for suffer you could be pulling a lot of condi off your team that may put extra pressure on you.
this too

No seriously, condi chillomancer is so super OP in small scale (and large scale for that matter) WvW right now its stupid beyond belief. You dont bring “support” to the group because you’re bad at it, let other classes bring the support. You bring the ability to completely disable another player in a second due to condi burst that will drop their hp at 20% a second unless they cleanse fast as kitten – which they probably cant since the damage is hidden behind 5+ other conditions. Either way they will most likely have to back off.
The reason people will focus you is exactly this, not because you got poor mobility. Engaging already engaged people is the key, dont run like a reaper frontliner that goes head first into battle – too easy to target and focus you before the fight really begins. Especially if you run zerk power.
