Guild Wars 2

If you’ve wanted to play as a life-stealing damage soaker, and have wondered how to put the “attrition” back in “necromancer”, then I think you’re going to like this.

Advantages of the build: As much Retaliation uptime as you can get, very high attack (over 3.2k before bloodlust stacks), very high defense (2.7k) and health (just under 28k), good team support with wells, and an incredibly high threshold of punishment. You will be the last one to go down in any teamfight, guaranteed.

In the video, I occasionally get lucky with the vuln stacks and manage to pump out 3700+ damage on the Axe 2 channel. With no crits. Or crit damage. With the soldier amulet. IN SPVP.

Yea…I’m liking this build a lot.

Actually, you can get 100% retaliation uptime using a different build; one that I made and have been using recently. That aside, looks like a solid build.

Something like 10/0/30/0/30? If so, sounds like fun and thanks!

I actually use a base of 10/10/10/0/30, with the last ten switching between Curses and Death Magic. I’m still not settled on whether I like the Fury and longer spectral skills (I use all spectral utilites), or the easier retaliation upkeep. The reason it is all so spread like that is for all the different abilities that work when you enter DS, most of the fight what I do is enter and leave DS immediately, and every 5s when it comes off CD again I repeat.

That was a really skilled engineer you faced in the second match! Also, I had no idea they had stealth skills!
