Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

Been up and down with WvW for a while because of the cray cray balance in there… but then one dark, dark night I decided to venture into those merciless lands and ho-and-behold, found myself outnumbered and at the mercy of hundreds – no – thousands of zerglings. The battles raged on throughout the night… but there was one thing the foes did not realize – what stood before them was a Reaper…. but by then it was far, far too late for their poor, lost souls.

-clears throat – In all seriousness though… here’s a short-ish video of some Condi Reaper solo roaming in WvW Hope you enjoy

the burst is unreal lol
well done

AHAHAHAHAH,

well played Methane. I do always love your stuff. I am fully convinced you are the zerg surfing king.

Haha, a large chunk of it has to do with Path of Corruption. I took Lynnie’s suggestion and tried it out and it’s so amazing with Reaper… far better than Terror imo :P
and ty

Haha thank you!
I’m baffled by how many people STILL fall for Spectral Walk jukes. The key is Spectral Wall tho… you drop that and get smashin’ :P

That was a joy to watch.
I also liked the endless-fight-type of editing without showing the stomps.

The people I run into never fall for Spectral Walk jukes lol. Of course, in T1, it’s either 50+ with zerg builds or 10 with roaming builds.

Depends who you fight I think. Usually roaming guild groups know how to react to it, but they still split their people so a few of em chase and a few of em wait back…. but then again, I think you’d have a hard time against a roaming guild group no matter what you play. I never tried tier 1 though.

I just stumbled upon the antitoxin runes giving -24% condi duration. Then -20% from food, and the movement reduction trait…
Do you feel its enough to only have a 30s Consume and a mark?

Haha loved it, good choice of music too. Love your vids !!

Chilling Darkness, Path of Corruption, Parasitic Contagion… #JustWvWThings.

But this actually gives me some good ideas for a hybrid build, nice video!

Great video. Wish i had the PC to run video software, but my PC already struggles.

Condi Reaper is amazing – might given Path of Corruption a try.

I usually run, Well of Darkness, Spectral Wall and Suffer in my utilities.

Very nice. Almost makes me want to go condi reaper What build where you using?

Yeah it makes you realllllyy hard to lock down with slows/immobs, especially while in DS. When I played normal Necro I haaaaatteeedd being rooted and that was often a sure way to die in an outnumbered fight because sometimes there was no time to transfer it because you’re rooted, then hard-CCed so no Putrid Mark or heal to cleanse the root :/
So when I saw Sweet Bean Buns and Relentless Pursuit… I knew >:) In my opinion so far, I feel like if the enemies aren’t condi, the condis they do throw at you will be really insignificant to the point where half the time I don’t even use Putrid Mark. In many fights I see condis on me and by the time I decide to cast Putrid Mark they’re all gone or not even worth transferring so I just resorted to using Putrid Mark as a blast for the wall or ice field. But when I do fight condi specs, sometimes I notice that their condis stick for a long time. I fought a condi chronomancer once who put 9 confusion on me and although my build has 44% reduction, it still stayed on me for a good 10 secs. Another time I noticed long condis was when I fought a condi Reaper who had really long bleed (I suspect Krait Runes maybe). If I’m being completely honest, I’m not 100% sure if the mark and heal is enough cleanse when fighting another condi spec. Surprisingly I haven’t ran into that many condi people and I don’t wanna talk out my @$$. I think if you took Plague Sending, then you should be more than fine tho. Sorry for the ramble X_X

Haha, WvW is worlds away from the dark lands of sPvP :P Good luck with your hybrid build

Ty sir If you have Geforce GTX 660M, 670MX, 675MX, 680M, 700M or higher, then your driver should come with Shadowplay which is a geforce program that records your stuff without a single drop in FPS. My FPS would drop if I used Fraps though.

I didn’t think Path of Corruption would be as good, but after fighting Scrappers, Tempests and Druids (who cleanse like crazy and have a poop-ton of boons) I felt like something in the build wasn’t quite there. Then Lynnie suggested I try Path of Corruption and I think it’s a LOT better than Terror. You get a lot of cover condis by corruption two of their boons, and you can get nice condis out of it (3 confusion from corrupting retal, or 3 bleeds from corrupting vigor).

Do you use Well of Darkness with Chilling Darkness?

Haha, condi reaper is super fun I’m in the process of trying power reaper thanks for Holl a scary….scary road.

I’m currently using this:

I got the amulet from finishing all Act 4 achievements in HoT. The plan is to have something along the lines of this, but Trailblazer is bugged at the moment… It would have more toughness, same condi dmg, and 8% more condi duration than what I currently have. Of course a few things could always be changed around for preference (for example swapping some Trailblazer for Dire or Rabid).

Also… keep in mind that Sweet Bean Buns are not actually 25% condi duration and -40%. They’re 15% condi duration and -20%.

Edit: I just messed around with the stats and it seems that going full Trailblazer armour, weapons and amulet seems like a good option as well. More condi dmg but less condi duraiton.

Someone has developed a few new tactics, I see. :P
