Guild Wars 2

Anyone try running a straight vampire necro? 6/2/0/6/0 with dagger/focus + staff?
Parasitic bond
Parasitic contagion
Full of life
Bloodthirst
Vampiric
Vampiric precision
Vampiric rituals
Life siphon (dagger 2)
Mark of Blood (staff 2)
Reapers touch (focus 4)
+ superior sigil of blood here and there?

I wonder what the potential passive heal effect would be…

If it worked through ds it might be viable. Currently it’s not, you sacrifice too much damage for pve or pvp. And if you end up fighting another sustain class they will win.

1) Regen and NOTHING works through DS.

2) All vampiric traits and skills are useless – They are inferior in number as in being harder to pull of mechanicaly (ex. hitting 5x target with every skill or just switching to water and healing 2k)

3) Healing power is wasted on necro. There are almost no added heals and the only somewhat niche useful -well of blood – has been nerfed without reason.

You lose on all sustain fronts if you try vampire stuff.

I find much more potential in condi necro for siphon than power. I used my build top 100 solo q and top 300 team q and actualy did nice.

I cant say of actual healing numbers but once you try it you can realy notice the increased “sustain”. With condis you can just LoS them and wait for condis to regenerate hp. Also dmg on fear is nice healing boost. Eventho it doesnt work while in ds i think it is not sooooo bad (/) as some ppl might think. And yeah the fight vs eles is harder (or i played it poop vs them :p).

you can’t really rely on vampiric healing but it helps a little if you are playing a build which can take some of those skills without nerfing it too much
