Guild Wars 2

This is a very general question: What trait sets, or trait lines, are you most reliant on?

I was messing about with builds, yesterday, and realized I had become very comfortable with pairing Soul Reaping and Reaper. Power-shroud has become my most common build in PvE.

Blood Magic for group support, wells, dagger, and general QoL was not far behind my habit of SR&R.

What trait lines do you find yourself running most?

Reaper. easily.

I’ve mostly been running Curses. I prefer condition builds to power but the other specialization I run a lot is Spite. Soul reaping I only run when I’m doing power. And only if we have another necromancer in the group because they often run blood. I also run blood a lot on both power and Condi. Death is my least used trait line. And its not because it isn’t good, but more because I don’t raid all that much. But sometimes I really feel like playing minions.

I run either Power or Conditions.
Mostly Conditions lately due to high level fractals.
So for me… Curse line is a must ( Parastic Contagion is just awesome in fractals) and Reaper for the chilled-bleeds.

In power it’s Reaper line (Because the last 2 GM traits in it is sexy stuff lol) and Soul reaping (But this time for the RS crit)

Everything else from spite – Death magic is dependent on the situation… For example.. I default SR line for the RS support.. in both Power and Condi.. tho one is either burning and the other is for the Crit in RS…However, some situations won’t need RS.. like the Thermo reactor in fracs, so i swap out SR for DM. →

(DM if needing pets, BM if needing healing support and Spite if the might in the team isn’t what it can be.)

Not counting Reaper, since its both too mandatory and too awesome not to use.

As such – Blood magic. Speed increase and tonn of siphons are just too good for me to pass up.

Soul reaping, of course.

I run condi and use curses/spite/reaper. replace spite for BM if I need more surviveability/dungeon runs.
