Guild Wars 2

Hi

I created a necromancer and boosted it to Level 80 so I could Play (and propably main) the new specilization for the necromancer because I always switcha round my main characters every addon (from mesmer to engineer and now on to necro)

I already acquired a complete exotic shaman set for my new necromancer ebcause I thought why not. I got condi damage and healing+vitality which is important for barriers.

I wanted to know If its a good Idea to Play the upcoming scourge with shaman gear because most poeple in this sub-Forum have propably way more experience with builds and the necromancer

Shaman is probably okay for Scourge, but as soon as you can, I would look into Seraph’s gear. Has a bit more offensive power to work with.

Shaman is certainly a potential option for Scourge if you want to be capable of filling out some degree of a support role while still maintaining personal damage output.

You have no idea what people are eventually going to settle on. Keep with your shaman gear for launch, it can’t hurt, but people really need time to figure out what the class is best at. You got healing power gear, but the scourge doesn’t really have any healing. It can with blood magic, but will transfusion be available frequently enough for that to be worth it? Probably not, but we won’t know until we see it in action.

You’re neglecting that Barrier scales on Healing Power and Vitality

Shaman seems like it would be a good set to start with, maybe even keep, but outside of the new ‘Griever’ set we don’t know what other new kinds of stat sets may be available.

Why not just stock up on bunch of dungeon and map currencies and don’t spend anything until expansion hits and you get to try out some things ? Add to that some crafting materials and some gold and you’ll be set.

A lot of exotic gear you can even get free for karma, WVW badges, etc.

I have my fingers crossed for a stat set with +Condi, +Healing, +Expertise +Concentration. That would be perfect.
