Guild Wars 2

So I see a lot of people running the carrion build on meta battle with dhuumfire and the chill damage

With 900 power from carrion, wouldn’t death perception be superior? Dhumfire gives you 1k damage over 3 seconds. It’s over time and can be cleansed. Without doing math i’d imagine 50% crit in shroud is superior, epscially with all of the self might necro gets.

Any thoughts? I’ve tried both and death perception seems stronger, especially since sometimes you have to go out of your way to R1 to apply the burning when you’d rather 4>5 asap

Take Bitter Chill and Decimate Defenses For the crit AND the vuln stacking, because vuln + fire + might + crit = massive damage.

Necro main here. Carrion is 1 of 3 builds I currently run.

I swap between Death Perception and Dhuumfire on my Carrion build depending on opponents comp before each match

Death Perception can be far more useful than Dhuumfire when going against a DS Tempest.

But one thing you forgot to consider about Dhuumfire is that it doesn’t have a CD. It’s possible to apply 3-4 burning stacks from continuous Life Rend pressure. That plus the suggestion from OverPoweredNecro and you have a winner.

OP just got industrial strength Reaper advice from the two above me.

I agree with your death perception vs tempest. Breaking that health threshold is GG

Dhuumfire is better against dragonhunter, druid, scrapper.

The crit is better against diamond skin, thieves and zerker mesmers, and if youre a top pro league team and you bet your money on a faster cleave damage with rs4.

The burn is armor ignoring dmg so it ignores protection spammers and its another condi that can act as cover. So its protection vs resist and cleanses, pick whatever counters enemy.

I could AFK on tempest vs carrion reaper. I think diamond skin is a little too potent yet needed.

I just run power reaper >.> you don’t really have to change much though, they all have their uses, and are all helpful in their own ways…unless some other classes traits

What if the ele usues soldier ammy and rune?

I run power readper as well a lot of he time. I’m really happy about the reaper right now- can go condi and power and still feel really strong. I’ve had a lot of success with Soldiers, Marauders, Celestial (though think carrion is better for this playstyle), and Carrion- all strong and fun.

And to address rest of the thread- I was stuck in the past, came back after long break and didnt realize bruning stacks now. I’m goign to switch to dhuumfire for the most part and If vs a team with 0-1 guards/ele im temped to switch from signets to spectral build for massive LF regen and focus moreon burns

And just an overall thought on PvP- Boons are a huge aspect and necro will always be meta because they have the best boon strip. Boon strip is essential in spvp and signets of suffering is one of the best traits in the game. Miss my spectral builds though
