Guild Wars 2

So I’m a returning player and a necromancer since GW1. When the game came out I only played for the first 2 months or so, the end game didn’t realy click with me. When I last played I had a condition build on my necromancer and was saving up for Rabid exotic gear from TA. When I came back to the game last month everything seemed berserker and the build for necromancers was power with dagger main hand. So I went with that, but now after a while, I kind of had it with all that melee stuff. Now with HoT focussing even more on melee combat (greatsword) on the necromancer, I’m kind of starting to doubt the class. I want to be a caster, I want to throw around curses. I don’t want to be a warrior in a dress.

I’m not so good a theory crafting, but with all the new stuff coming out, could conditions be a viable build? For all kinds of pve stuff?

Yup condi reaper is wonderful and makes great use of carrion gear, chill, poison, bleeding and burning from dhuumfire. I use soul reaping, curses and reaper. Carrion gear. Scepter/dagger and staff or GS

Bleeding and torment do awesome damage. I would build for torment though, because it seems to be the stronger of the two. Take the sigils of torment as well as the runes, and epidemic. You’ll be able to apply like 10-15 stacks to 5 different mobs (or players, cause I’m playing pvp alot lately) and you’ll just watch everything melt. I get the Top Damage Delt all the time.

Would you mind going into specifics about your builds? Exact Traits, Runes etc. I’m curious as to what the possible output is I can get with Rabid gear.

Any advantage to running pure condi as a reaper? I’ve rolled a condimancer most of my necro career and recently changed up to a hybridmancer (PVT armors, sinister weps/accessories) and it’s been lovely so far, I outlast everything with great DPS output and condi upkeep.

The only thing is that I’m constantly utility changing and switching out spite for blood magic when the need calls for it lol

anyone got experience whit viper gear yet?
