Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I just read the upcoming changes to Necros so what better time than to post my new sPvP montage

It’s been almost two months since my first montage and this one took a while to finalize but here it is finally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8Wpsv6YYD8

I decided to dub my build “Celestial Killer” since after playing it for over 2,000 games I’ve noticed that it tends to deal with the celestial heavy meta quite well, be it engis, eles, warriors or w/e else. It has insane boon-hate/strip, a lot of life force generation and condition manipulation and coupled with its reduced DS cooldown if you can dance in and out of DS you become quite self-sustainable as I have hopefully shown in the video.
And here’s a link to my build: http://de.gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQRBIbdG2IHNl32YjnNc4mAXogeBCgWIqPg62IMeWA-TpBBwAfeAAdOIAAOBAF3fYzRAocZAA

Now one thing to note is that I can’t exactly predict whether or not this build will still be alive and well after the changes hit since it gets changed on a lot of fronts being a hybrid build. Plague signet being a staple of it gets its cooldown reduced in half but now it only transfers 5 conditions. Then we have Consume Conditions heals, the signet trait competing with the close to death trait and etc etc. but overall I am hopeful and I will try to make it work post-patch and I’ll release a new montage ASAP. Possibly even a WvW one as well.

Regardless I hope you guys enjoy the video and leave any comments or suggestions for future videos or builds down here or in the comment section of the video.

Thanks for watching and if you have any questions about the build or just wanna say hi in-game feel free to whisper me or send me a mail if I’m not on =)

Have a good one!

Update: After thoroughly reviewing the upcoming changes to necro I decided to see how my build in that video would fare and if it would still be viable come next tuesday and I feel like overall it will still be in a good spot.

New Build:http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AgQBlAKUBeg~ this is what I came up with on Dulfy’s calculator and it seems to keep the same feel and improve on certain things.
Some traits now compete with each other like Signets of Suffering and Close to Death but overall there’s more flexibility and I’ll spend some time testing things out to see which is most optimal. Another choice that we may have is taking FiTG over Death Perception since now the curses line will give more crit chance through Furious Demise and target the weak which will net a hefty amount of crit chance once someone is spiked down with Signet of Spite.

Some changes that might be necessary would be switching Lich for Plague since to me it seems that taking Spectral Mastery isn’t worth it over Vital Persistence in the Soul Reaping line and since we want to keep CC as a viable heal we take Master of Corruption for the CD reduction which then makes it so that taking plague instead of Lich will give us more benefit. Overall it feels like the build will be a truer hybrid than before with more synergy.

Either way we won’t know till next week but this is my current idea of how this build will transform with the new traits and skill changes.

The build I will be testing is extremely similar but blood magic instead of soul reaping. http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AgQBlAKkBPQ

Similar concept just get sustain from leeches and DS instead of all from DS
