Guild Wars 2

The epitome of balance.

Hello everyone, put together a nice few clips of our group roaming fights and wanted to share. Epidemic + Parasitic Contagion is super powerful sustain if you can get the nasty Epi’s off, and the boon corruption is pretty top notch which helps a ton when people are using a lot of boons or resistance share (focus those revenants!) to push you.

If you can get a slightly extended person caught you can use them to basically crack open the group with Epidemic if they move for the rez (and even if they don’t you can just Banish them in and then Epi). The build I use (like most of my stuff) is pretty team oriented so I threw in a variant for non-group roaming as well.

Hope you enjoy, and have a good day!

I watch half the video and i am not really impressed by the dps and healing of your build.
Parasitic Contagion is not really powerfull, you survive because of your team comp and the healing/buffing provided by your mate (perma prot, regen and lot of dispells are not carried by your build).
Moreover you have 4 necros and a condi rev and you still need lot of time to kill players, mainly because trailblazer has no power so all your dps comes from condis which are countered by team dispells, resist etc and at the end this is not the Epidemic*4 which are killing your opponent but all the boon corrupt you have.

In fact your build is adapted to your play style and team comp, indeed why would you take weakening shroud and death perception if you stay at range and use Reaper shroud as a defensive tool and for stomps? So that’s ok, but don’t make a mistake your efficiency comes from boon corrupt. You could certainly drop epidemic for well of corruption for a better result.

I run something similar, good team fights and entertaining video, thumbs up.

@Silverthorn: PC isn’t going to keep you alive through everything, I should probably have said it does its job keeping incidental damage down so you aren’t pushed out of the fight from random hits. The support players do their job in keep the main dps alive. 2:47, 8:08, 8:40 are all an example of how strong the Epi actually is. It goes off and not but a few seconds later we have several downs. Boon corruption is of course ridiculously strong in a very boon heavy meta (as shown in the first fight where they had heavy resistance share from mesmer/rev, which we should have focused out the rev first as it is usually much easier to kill him which takes out a lot of their resistance).

A lot of the time to kill when we had 4 necros (I assume you mean at the south camp fight) comes from the fact there we were popping orange swords with a group that had ~20 (I counted 18 before the mesmer clones started to generate) and we had to play it slow. I actually tried WoC but the Epidemic burst you can generate from downed/caught players is too much to not use + the WoC just doesn’t have enough oomph to really stop people from rez/pushing with the build. I don’t disagree that boon corruption is absolutely powerful, but you seem to underestimate the Epidemic (admittedly I didn’t land as many as I wanted to in the video).

@mordran: Glad you enjoyed.

I love watching all of the tRex videos I can find, especially when I’m in them. My power reaper can only do so much against that cancer though lol… your groups have excellent synergy and are fun to fight even when I’m on the losing side. Great work!

Thanks. We’ll do 5v5’s with power comp if you want to one of these days. As for cancer in the words of our GL when someone complained : “I know you guys run into our comp and it’s complete aids; an entire group of trailblazer **** and super tanky healbots, I probably wouldn’t even bother fighting us if I was in your position. From our perspective though, it’s the most flexible composition imaginable because it counters large unorganized blobs that don’t have team cleanse and it counters the current boonstack meta utilized by organized large groups. Our comp reflects what we spend 99% of our time fighting”.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I understand why you guys run what you do and accept the fact that I shouldn’t be playing a power necro to fight a group of condi based foes. I have just gotten used to the playstyle of power and find it the most enjoyable. I find it more rewarding more times than not, although heavy conditions (especially at range) are a huge counter to what I run. I run gs instead of staff, so my transfers are further hindered. I’ve started dabbling in my old condi builds again because of the reasons you stated… I just feel extremely dirty doing it lol
