Guild Wars 2

Hello GW2 community, I’ve just come back from a 3 month hiatus and I was wondering what crucial updates or changes to the necromancer may have happened since january 14th to now.

Some may know me on this forums, and if you’ve PMed me in the last three months, I apologize for not being here to reply. I’m currently on 10 days of leave until I go again for another month.

what is the current status quo on power vs. condition based necros?

Sheobix!!!

Haha, You have missed alot mate. Necromancers have seen a lot of bug fixes, some Axe buffs, and an epidemic/Corrupt boon nerf that is being recalled due to it being almost useless in competitive play.

There are about 50 different builds out there right now, but we kind of categorized them down to 5 main build types with variations out of each.

1) Condition Damage
2) Hybrid
3) PowerMancer
4) Minions
5) Support

All are currently viable in pve. In tournaments, Conditions are most wanted, Power is used, but is tough, and Minions/Hybrid are great for low to mid level. WvWvW you see a little bit of everything

I have a copy of some of the best new stuff on the Necro table.

1) CHIPSSS Encyclopedia of Necro skills

2) Nemesis Tutorials

3) SOACGaming Podcast - sittingonacouch.com for audio only

Each of these are fantastic ways to get immersed into the spirit of the Necromancer and what they bring to the table.

Technically I like the Podcasts best but that’s just me :P. Nemesis has taken over your role as Elder Tutorial Statesman. I am the Rainbow up the butt salesman, and Bhawb is our resident Minion Expert :P.

Also i am thinking special edition Podcast :P

Fixed that for you

Haha. i suspected a lot of change would happen to the axe, it was the one weapon that showed the least amount of utilization in special builds throughout the meta.

as for the changes to epidemic, I’m not a total fan of what they did and I’m glad something is getting done about it.

so many cool things added in the last few months! wiki time..
