Guild Wars 2

I find that the necromancer, expecially in Reaper, have not a burst damage combination of skills.

Other classes can burst down you more or less easy like mesmer, guardian, revenant, elementalist, thiefs, and now also a marauder scrapper can burst you down with soe chains, expecially why can stun you a lot, making you unable to respond to it’s attacks.
The ranger can use the power build to deal really high damage with LB and GS. The ele can use dps builds but also the actual build can output a really big damage by both condition and direct damage. The warrior can use the funny build with Rifle and burst you down at the right moment with F1, activabvle every 4.5 seconds if in Berserker and dealing a really big damage (is not really efficent in the current meta but is good for examples).

The Reaper have…?
Gravedigger? it deal lesser damage than the DH LB skill 4, need more time to be casted and is melee. And the GS is a really bad weapon for spvp. Sometimes someone come out finding a good way to use it but it’s really a bad weapon in sPvP.

Then…

Someone know a Burst combination of skills for the necro? or is really the only class that can’t output a burst damage?

I know the condition combo of Corrosive Poison Cloud + RS4, but is easy to avoid and frequently you don’t stack more than 10 poison on the enemy, dealing not so much damage.

Have I to remove my few defensive utility skills (the only things that keep me alive in the fight) to chose a well? But then how can I deal good damage if the Direct Damage build of the Reaper deal lesser damage than the Condition one?

Can the Reaper have a Burst damage?

Dagger autoattacks. Such combo. Much wow.

There’s an interesting build that uses the quickness on weapon swap sigils and possibly wells and chrono runes could even throw in a sigil of rage if you wanted, take spite and reaper at least 3rd Is up to you make sure to take chill of death and the chill explosion trait in reaper… I toyed around with a berserker ammy gs d/w build that just spammed as much quickness as I could so I could land Gravedigger and RS5…. biggest issue i found was you cannot really win 1v1s vs a good opponent unless you get a Gravedigger to hit, and you can be kited into oblivion.

Also condi will ruin you.

Reapers don’t really burst in spvp, you sustain and you wait for full stacks of condi’s from rev or mes then transfer them onto others for a burst. The main reason why you don’t build for burst is because you are the #1 target in all the fights. If there’s a necro/reaper, there’s a focus target on you. You’ll be trying to dodge, burn cooldowns, kite, golem teleport, condit transfer, etc.. you really don’t get the chance to burst.

Best burst you’ll find are to pop signets at the right time, convert boons to condi’s on your target, gain might stacks, and then go dagger auto and/or soul spiral/executioner’s scythe combo. Along with timely usage of Chilled to the bone.
