Guild Wars 2

Hi guys

I know the reaper necro is so good, and better than vanilla necro in many different ways. But here i am talking about Big zergs fights (ZvZ) and i mean Big numbers, 40 or 50+.
I still feel like the Old full berzerker wells necro “staff-axe/warhorn” or “staff-dagger/focus” build using rune of the eagle or scholar or even pack, running (soul reaping, blood magic, spite) does a better Job.
Any Ideas ?

If you want to play backline, then yes: vanilla power necro is (besides broken epidemic builds) your best choice.

Spite – Blood – Soul Reaping – Wellomancer has great synergies and is still strong if you don’t get focused.

Core necro has been receiving some nice updates, making him more viable. Heck i even made a pretty good spvp build for him because he met it’s requirements unlike reaper.

However core necro still does suffer from few serious issues that prevent him from being a fair reaper alternative:

a) absolute trash access to stability – mesmers get more, eles get more, everyone save maybe thief gets more..
b) death shroud is still horrible. Having amazing reaper shroud as alternative only adds insult to injury.
c) minions make you wanna cry – reaper can spawn up to 5 with one button press. Core necro gets 6 if he places a minion on every slot he has..
