Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if anyone has a build that is godlike by making use out of unholy sanctuary.

This trait I would think is really good because it gives us the equivalent of the regeneration boon which only negeatively affect the necromancer while in shroud. Everyone knows that if regeneration affected the necromancer in shroud they would be the most unbalanced class in the game.

If you have an amazing godlike build please share so I too may become an unkillable threat to my enemies just like my allies.

Bad troll attempt.

When the trait first released, I did actually have a strong build for it. Things have changed a bit since the Specialization update and general power creep. While the original build is stronger now than it was then (Shrouded Removal is a hell of a lot stronger now,) it didn’t keep up to everything else getting stronger as well.

I think it would actually be a good build if:

• the heal amount was higher
• Master tier of Death Magic was worth anything outside of Minion builds.

Do you think it would help if the trait was in blood magic? I think it was also nerfed to have a cooldown on the shroud activation. Anyways mind sharing your build I’m willing to try it

Swap places with Unholy Martyr (seriously why is UM in blood magic when it completely screams death magic).

Isnt it pretty much the only trait in BM that even generates lf?

That’s the current version of the PvP build. WvW is similar, though with mostly Zealot’s gear.

It’s not top-tier by any stretch of the imagination, but it deals decent damage while being stupidly resilient. Not a great teamfight build (it can contribute, but not that well), but it handles 1v1’s and 1v2’s quite well against most foes.

As for if it would help being in Blood Magic? It certainly could, though it does work excellently with Shrouded Removal. At the same time, Blood Magic desperately needs a usable Grandmaster in solo situations where you aren’t running wells, and is the “regain health” line anyway.

Necro bleeds should be doing around 2500 per tick with enough bleeds.
I haven’t counted how many bleeds that is, but that is around the perfect number in that its not too high, and its not too low.2500 would mean that in 4 ticks=10k half your life bar, and would make you think:OH GOD!! i’m going to die if i don’t do something.5k is too much because it means you would kill people with bleeds in around 6 seconds, and that would be overpowered.

I’m guessing around:20 stacks of bleed is probably needed?

After that:All the op classes with op burst cc need to be heavily handed nerfed hard so that their elite spec can’t just burst you down in 3 seconds.

After that:nerf the ccs of warriors/rangers/mesmers/guardians so that their cds are higher and the amount of boons can be looked at.

After that:We need a buff in cc to put us in line but without being op so we can escape.

Then the game will be balanced as it means that we have enough pressure and damage to hold out and hopefully drop people if they aren’t careful, because the issue right now is that burst is king, and burst of some classes is ridiculously op.In order for condis to work well, it has to be a wearing people down battle slowly, which means burst has to be slown down considerably so battles last longer and we can wear eveyrone down if they aren’t careful, and make them think:There is a necro holy cow that guy is gonna wear us down if we don’t get em or:You there ranger you cleanse us all to keep that necro busy.

Instead the reality is this:OH HEY NECRO burst him down he’s pretty easy to kill on warrior/Ranger/guardian.

I love the the trait itself, but it is designed completely wrong. Wrong placement, wrong synergies, and a wrong heal coefficient.

There was a time when blighter’s boon benefited from allies, and they just fixed being able to leech through shroud, AND the healing amulets were still around. Those sweet few weeks, unholy sanctuary was awesome.

I think its funny how the game designer had to jump through hoops to get the trait to provide “regeneration boon” in shroud. Being afraid of balance issues shouldn’t leave illogical effects in the game.

I tried to make a ‘bunker’ necro build work in spvp yesterday, like back in ye old days. Got melted every time

Hmm it was never actually so good, but it works better in a condi meta.
