Guild Wars 2

Just curious as to what everyone is running atm. Since the burning nerf and nerf to greater marks I have seen a variety of builds, and just curious as to what the most popular ones are atm. As for me, right now I am experimenting with 0 20 20 0 30, with Enfeeb Blood, Terror, Staff Mastery, GM, PoM, MoT, and Soul Marks.

After the patch, I refused to play conditionmancer and I’m sticking o 30/10/0/0/30 or general powermancer builds.

30/10/0/0/30 Axe, targeted wells, 100% crit in shroud, 2500 power, with decent defence are the features.

30/10/0/0/30 Valkyrie/Cavalier/Berserker armor mix, centred around Death Shroud and Life Blast damage. Axe+Focus/Staff. Works legit in both PvE and WvWvW, if played smart, can win in most 1v1 – 1v2 situations, unless players are not scaled up, then 1v3 can be no problem. In tpvp, however, stick to 0/30/10/10/20, same build from October

0 20 30 0 20 full rabid

I usually dislike slow movement so I now use dagger/warhorn with spectral walk for 0/15/0/25/30, and I indeed ditched greater marks. Rest is Well of Power (Another stunbreak) and Suffering for some damage.

Flashing in and out of DS for 3 sec Stability/fury is pretty cool though Deathly Perception can be used for easier stuff.

All Zerker, my necro is not my main, so she sports no ascended besides the amulet and I’m too lazy to change anything for wvw either…. with mixed results, but it’s great at defending towers or holding back from behind a group.

In PvP I’m 20/0/30/20/0 MM, although I occasionally swap over to 30 BM with 20 DM, along with Blood Fiend and Shadow Fiend for a more sustained build. But otherwise I stick with my tried and true minion build for PvP.

PvE I recently swapped over to 30/25/0/15/0, full glass hybrid build, the 15 in BM just gives me some siphoning to keep me alive through longer fights. I’m very slowly getting different gear together, since I want to swap in a bit of berzerker/carrion for the current rampager, since I’ve got more than enough crit chance.

PvP 30/20/0/0/20 Rabid
PvE 30/10/0/0/30 Zerker
WvW 0/30/20/20/0 Rabid Support

I currently run 30/20/0/0/20 because I feel forced into taking dumbfire, even more so after the terror nerf. Carrion Amulet – Rampager Jewel, 4x Nightmare – 2x Lyssa. Pretty standard build I believe, except for maybe my choices in utilities.

For PvP, 30/20/0/0/20

The Epidemic can be switched to Spectral Grasp for duels, along with plague for flesh golem for the same purpose.

30/10/0/0/30 – VI,VIII,XII/IV/0/0/III,VI,XI Knights gear, Divinity runes, Zerker Dagger-Axe/Focus, Rampager Staff.

For my necro WILL feel like attrition & necro’y… (Don’t look at my damage numbers ok)

0/30/20/0/20 is what I run.

I run a lot. In PVE, I run one of two things:

30/30/10/0/0 conditionmancer.
30/0/10/0/30 Powermancer.

In WvW, I use

30/20/20/0/0 Staff Conditionmancer

And in sPVP, I used to use

30/0/25/0/15 Minion Master
20/30/20/0/0 Conditionmancer

But I haven’t used my necro in sPVP for awhile. Been waiting on an engineer turret fix.

20/30/20/0/0 Terror + Greater marks for WvW, i feel like the power isnt needed and could be somewhere else but i dont know where to put it, BM?
30/30/10/0/0 or 30/30/0/10/0 for PvE And WvW Dhummfire build
Both of those are S/D and Staff full rabid undead runes

and then 30/0/10/0/30 full zerk powermancer. Suprisingly tanky and good in dungeons. I would not suggest this for World vs World unless you’ll switch your d/wh for a staff… Just no.
thats all i use.

I’m assuming the OP is talking about PvP builds since burning doesn’t affect PvE.

For WvW I run this build

PvP – running 30/20/0/0/20 terror build. Even with the burning nerf its still ridiculously strong condi pressure.

PvE – full zerk 30/25/0/0/15 dagger build. Dont have to change it for WvW thanks to the mark radius increase. Just swap banshees wail for focused rituals and im good to go with aoe nuking in WvW.

10/0/30/30/0 Soldier gear + wells +D/D/Staff. Solo camps/small grp WvW/Dungeons. Tanky w/ some power, pretty much. Great condition removal but not very mobile.

Ok guyz plz look at my build i just updated it. thats all i ask. just look at it plz.

Used to run 30/0/10/0/30, with staff and double-dagger. Now running 30/10/0/0/30 with axe+focus and doubledagger. I miss greater marks but not that much to spend 20 points in that line. >_>

Other than that, zerker. Utilities vary depending on need, but generally locust or spite, well of suffering, spectral grasp or well of corruption/power.

30/10/0/0/30 (traits are based on game mode).

Reason is leeching sucks rocks, and I don’t use minions (I despise jagged horror).

My armor is celestial w/divinity runes (5 of 6 pieces thusfar), my jewelery and weapons are zergers. I use axe/focus as main and when in WvW I switch out my secondary dagger/focus for a staff. My food is maintenance oil (for the precision) and dragon buns (for the crit damage and strength). Glassy but still able to survive well enough.

I think I would consider:

- dropping Greater Marks and putting the 10 pts into Spite for Axe Mastery.
- perhaps replace Divinity runes with Elementalist Runes.
- replace Signet of Spite with BiP, since BiP has half the CD and you can then take Reapers Might instead of Signet Mastery.

But…its all a matter of preference really for your playstyle.
