It is a full blown team support thief probably the most support you could get out of any class with the arguable exception of the reflect guard. I want to know if this works on the larger servers during WvW because I already know it shreds the field when fighting zergs under 50 people.

The base play style of this build is to party up 4 necro/dd ele to spread the venoms quickly, jump in with basilisk venom then 2 seconds later drop your heal venom then drop the rest of the venom at 2-3 second intervals to make use out of the heals you are giving and not blow 20 stacks of might when guards are giving 12 stacks already. once all 5 venoms are on cooldown you use steal to reset them and you do the cycle again. you spend the time from then thru the finish of your cooldown spamming “tags” so you can get some credit for the kills you helped earn. or singling out specific players to abuse with S/D even tho your damage will be low you can keep them under weakness cripple and immobilize.

The alternative play stlye for small groups vs small zergs is to give your party all 5 venoms right before combat starts then open combat with a steal and reapply venoms immediatly to create a burst big enough to instantly overwhelm the enemy. (dont try this with pugs that dont know what venoms do)

So who is willing to test this in their servers for me? Also any suggestions to tweak the build are welcome

Your chance is 1 to 5 to get the cooldowns back for venoms, read how improvisation works

How can you give 20 mightstacks?

stealing recharges ALL skills of ONE type so …..

and 20 might stacks is possible because each of the 5 venoms gives you 2 might stacks and you can instantly recharge them all by using steal which makes it 10 venom x 2 might stacks welcome to OP good sir

You’re not guaranteed to recharge the venom’s. So you’re basing half your builds effectiveness on a 1 in 5 chance

That is why no one uses this trait.

went back and tested it and it isnt working the way it did back when i ran venom support it used to only pick from skills currently on CD so i switched it out to the reduced RC on venoms which is more reliable even if i cant use them immediately after combat starts i only have about 12 seconds from after the last poison to when i can start the first poison again which is still pretty effective and this way i can keep them rotating more efficiently during long fights

^You just got lucky the first few times. It never guaranteed a recharge on the skills on your utility bar. Been like this since the release. I’ve used it several times cause now and then it’s a nice to fool around with.

It’s not the best trait, but it can be somewhat useful if you spread out your utilities, like this:

It’s too bad we can’t make our own bundles though. That would be a cool new util, either as an elite or maybe a trap/trick.

Elite: Shadow Blade- summon a bla bla.

Or maybe a trick: Activate, Shadowstep to target, steal their weapon/skills for a set amount of time. Something like that.
