I’ve been watching so much WvW necro videos lately on my paid time, that I decided to give back some of that necro love for others like me who watch them (on their break time of course!).
That was some awesome gameplay, really good showing of the power of a hybrid build. Do you mind posting your build, and like what your armor and accessory stat types are? I’ve been interested in working towards an exotic set for a hybrid build but I’m not sure where to start with gear. Currently I’m fully specced for rabid conditionmancer, and working on ascended for that.
I hope you keep making WvW vids like this, its really fun to see other people play the class and learn tricks from their gameplay.
Thanks, glad that you enjoyed it! I still got better fights to show, but editing them takes longer than I want them to and time is not on my side lately
I switch from dagger to scepter when sieging/defending keeps, and grab Targeting Well instead of Spectral Attunement for those special occasions too. Scepter with Crit/Power performs quite well, I just prefer dagger to be able to hit stealthy opponents. Anything to kill them faster the better
I also switch to Plague sometimes, but I hate the 3 min cooldown, and against ranged class you’ll only be a Immobilized target that can’t even use any skills. I prefer the Golem, if only for the Knockdown every 60 sec.
Now here’s the build I’m aiming for with that playstyle (Mostly just Cavalier Trinket changed and Master crystal instead of sharpening stone):
I’ll lose a bit of Condition Damage, but those crits will hit harder and I’ll raise my damage reduction to 21%, thus losing a bit of Glass in my canon while adding a bit more burst.
Nice, I’m looking in to getting the rampager’s set on my necro, but currently working towards eye of rodgort so it’s going to take me awhile haha. Hybrid just seems a lot stronger than pure condition damage because it has burst without sacrificing a large amount of condition damage.
you need to stop making these videos! Necro is a misunderstood undervalued class, I personally believe that a hybrid build is the best for WvW. We can’t have other people finding this out
Just a shameless bump for more people to view/comment on my last one.
I feel that while we can’t roam as easily as some others classes in WvW (I still do it every time with good success), we’re really good in a controlled environment where peoples must fight us on our terms. I’ve also got some really good shots at wurm teleports and it’s potential too, but it’s less ideal when moving around the map.
Also for those who don’t know how it feels to deal with 1/3 less downed health, the last 30 sec of the videos are a quick compilation of quick death that I’ve gathered in only one evening. In some I’m just overwhelmed by a zerg so much health wouldn’t have mattered that much, but in others I’m against 2 peoples, and while one tries to spike me, the other killed me before the stomp finished. Imagine in a 2v2 scenario how this can turn good fights around the bad way.
Added a new video at the top, still playing the same hybrid build that I love so much.
This time Razdhul needs to move out in the big bad world, his home is not safe anymore.
Hope you enjoy, any and all comments welcomed! If you got suggestions to what you would like to see for my next one, I’ve got thousand of hours of footage, but right now I focus on his personal story in WvW.
