Hey fellow necromancers,
I have recently returned to some Necromancer play. Mostly for roaming in WvW. Now currently I use Nightmare runes, but I am considering Perplexity. But before I do the investment (don’t have enough atm anyway), I’d like to know, if it’s worth it. I mean I feel overpowered already in most 1v1 situations and have won a fair deal of 1v2 fights (or made the ones hunting me flee^^). Camps flip fairly quickly and easily and everything is going quite well.
I use the following builds (don’t have a preference yet):
The empty slot is flexible, often I just use for comfort reasons Signet of the Locust. Now would those builds really profit from Perplexity? I was also thinking that Balthazar runes might be good for the pyromancer build…
6/6/0/0/2 Terrormancer with perplexity. Never lose a fight again.
Perplexity is completely viable but it’s beyond me why people are so keen on using builds that require 0 effort to be successful with. I like to put a bit of effort in to my fights but I guess I’m just old fashioned that way.
Refer to Snakebytes comment for an accurate description of a Perplexity Terrormancer.
On my mesmer, I can’t remember the last time, when I lost to any necro condition dmg build… (I find the power once more threatening, for their damage bursts are less predictable imo). But maybe that’s because I play power lock down, so that necro can’t really do much anyway^^

It’s obvious – full dire/rabid/carrion and Dhuumfire + Path of Corruption + Terror
It’s also not unstoppable and it is also not any more or less effort simply because you are using perplexity runes
^ Still wanted to see. :P

Bro, this guy could be new! Chillax with the obvi stuff. You’re right though, it’s totally stoppable, especially to heavy CC. You just FEEL unstoppable.
Young seeker of knowledge, here is “my” (quotes to protect me from You Didn’t Build That, Inc.) build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNBLhZYkjmebMuh/2E4CF0vZAEtRnBTAqiDA-TFyCABAcEAeRkitten/We/BfU/hiTBwYKBn+BAQKAYmDA-w
The last trait in line 2 is usually X or XIII, depending on how boon-happy my enemies are that day in WVW. The empty utility skill is usually corrupt boon or spectral grasp depending yet again on boonocity. Spec Armor too! If you run Signet Of Condeez (names are hard) for your 3rd utility, take the trait in the first line that gives you might on signet use rather than life blast might. Enjoy getting raged at for cheesing! I do.

Write me in game next time FSP plays against Kodash. I’m always looking for a challenge.

Lockdown Mes hardcounters Necro. Of course you’re not going to lose. Unless you’re bad or the Necro is exceptionally good, there’s no reason you should get killed…
That’s like me saying, “I can’t remember the last time I lost to an Elementalist.”
I know. I just said that, because people claimed this perplexity build would be unbeatable^^
