Guild Wars 2

I was also thinking of Superior Rune of the Traveler instead of Hoelbrak. It gives a little less power, but overall give u a little better boost to survivability and mobility.

Hey all,

I am pretty new to the Mesmer class, but I absolutely love it (even over my necro which I have been playing since release). Anyway, I was kittening around with some PvE which I am also new to and created this build that I wanted to get some feedback (pun intended) on. I went for a damage heavy build with a tad bit of survival for running dungeons and events.

I still can’t choose between staff or great sword for my main weapon but I plan on using Sigil of Air and Sigil of Fire on it. The gear is a representation of the gear I currently have for berserker gear.
Please let me know your opinion (good or bad) on the build, any criticism is productive criticism.
Also any tips for playing Mesmer will not go overlooked.

Love yall and Happy Hunting,

P.S. msg me ingame if you ever want to run some dungeons or fractals, I just started getting into them and I really enjoy it!

The name is To Hell And Back…. fitting?

Hey guys,
It has been a while…
I am returning to get ready for the xpac, and I can’t see much new with necros as far as WvW zerging goes. I put together a variation of the meta powermancer build from back when I stopped playing and just want to see what people have to say; suggestions, comments, questions, etc.

Hit me up in game if you ever want to chat about zerging or learn stuff.

Feels good to be back,

Sea Of Sorrows

Hello all, here is a build I put together that has been more than successful at both supporting my zerg and keeping me alive. I maintain around 34k HP, 2500 Armor, 2000 Power and 45% crit chance while in WvW. It utilizes condition removal and boon strip while also being able to heal my back liners who might not be able to make it to the water drop. Please let me know what you think and try it out! I am still working on getting my ascended armor and axe/warhorn, but exotic is still perfectly awesome in my book!

The 9 skill slot is open to preference. I tend to run either Well Of Darkness or Spectral Wall. Well of Blood + Well of Power make a more effective and AoE version of Consume Conditions which is my new favorite combo on a necro. Putrid Mark is a personal condition removal that i use when I have more conditions than I can count on me, pretty self explanatory. Well of Corruption and Lich Form: Grim Specter are awesome boon strips (if you use Spectral Wall and Well of Corruption at the same time you can really mess up an enemy zerg). Timing on weapon swapping is super important to get your sigil proc and also the retaliation from Unholy Feast is wicked in the middle of a zerg if u pop it before Death Shroud. Lastly, never ever ever ever ever ever hesitate to use Death Shroud. With this build you want to use Life Transfer as many times as you can for the heals and Condi Removal when you’re in Death Shroud.
All Builds take practice and a littler personal customization. Hope this is a fun build for some of you!! Happy Hunting!
Msg or mail me in-game if you have any questions @ Aenema Of State.6893 or my characters name “To Hell And Back”

Yeah man, my schedule is out of whack between school and clubs so I can’t really give you an estimated time, but add me and if I’m on send me a tell.

Take this and play around with it. You can utilize the staff more, but scepter def takes the cake on condi builds

OK, so for my necro, I run two builds most of the time. During my zergs I play a powermancer, and while I’m roaming I enjoy my condition build.

1) here is my build, it has around 2k condi dmg, but a good amount of toughness and survivability as well. The catch to getting builds off the internet is that it doesn’t give you a chance to really test out what you are good at, so if you have any questions, please feel free to message me ingame (To Hell And Back).

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQNArYWjMax7Fbib07JEoH9CuAiRKOmghSh7kOA-jUCBYhCiUFAk0g0HQ5QFRjtaqIasqbY6YER1GzASB4r0I-w

For the 3rd utility slot you can also use flesh wurm or plague signet. You want it to be a stun breaker. I like spec walk for mobility. Another thing is to get another scepter or dagger and put a sigil of corruption on it for condi dmg stacks and just swap it back and forth to get stacks off some animals in the borderlands.

2) This is a roaming build, you can run it in zergs, but because cleansing conditions is so easy it isn’t very worth it.

3) In WvW mobility I very important, that is why I use spectral walk and flesh wurm, but if you know where to run to LoS then you can run plague signet which can mess with any other condition builds you face.

4) as much as I love watching videos, take this build for a spin and add your own modifications that fit your play style.

Hope this helps a little, and if you want me to help you out with any other builds for being a powermancer, glass cannon, MM, or whatever. That goes for anyone needing help just reply here or massage me in game.
Good luck and happy killing!!

Here is a hybrid build I have been having fun with for a long time now and it never gets old. I got tired of being a MM necro or even a condi damage necro. This build still applies a good amount of conditions but also is very bursty with a little bit of tankyness. I will hopefully have some videos of me roaming WvW with it once I can get my editing software up to date and running.

This build give you a 90% crit chance in deathshroud. I chose the acended gear because it helps with pretty much everything that the build doesn’t give you (hp, cd, vitality, etc.). The build works best to enter with reaper’s touch and a few hits with rending claws to stack vulnerability, then pop in to death shroud and nuke the kitten out of anyone. I use Blood is Power for might stack and spectral wall for protection and also when chasing someone down. The last skill slot is preference, I use signet of locust while running to find enemies, then switch to well of suffering or corrupt boon.

Hope you guys give this a shot and please let me know how it goes I love this build and would recommend to try it out because it is something super new for WvW. I have yet to play sPvP with it so I cant say anything on that. ENJOY!

Aphix.9846:

I would switch the signet out for a stunbreaker/well of darkness/spectral wall, you definitely dont need the heal it gives, you got 26k hp and 2.7k armor. And swiftness should not be a problem in a zerg. Axe instead of scepter because retal is amazing and the boon removal helps.
Right now I dont use any points in death magic because it is just not worth it, but with the coming updates unblockable marks might be worthwhile.
I also prefer using 30 in soul reaping for last gasp and stability on DS and other awesome traits.

For blowing up blobs I use 30/10/0/0/30, 1.5k toughness and 22k hp, so my offensive stats are fairly high, you really dont need that much defense as a necro imo…, for more serious fights right now I personally consider 20 in curses and 30 in soul reaping a must.

Well in Death Magic you get the increase area of marks…That seems to be one of the most important traits

Hey everyone, this is my first post in the necro forums. I run my necro in my guilds zerg and wanted to show everyone my build. Please give me any tips, compliments, questions or anything really.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fQEQNAW7YjMaV6ZaKb8bKAJFX/8kCuHHSRv6GVYYA-jUyAofioZKCEhJwUhkl9KiGbboIasq6FVrux0uASBUxwI-w

This build focuses on maximizing the efficiency as well as damage of both wells and marks. It does not give boons as a good amount of might, fury, regen, and swiftness are constantly up in a zerg fight. However, something I do frequently is switch the scepter for an axe and use it to gain retal. The signet is used as another heal because in a zerg fight it can heal for an insane amount, plus the movement speed is always nice. If you have any questions about moves in the build and/or how to use it then please send me ingame mail or post in the reply section below!

Happy Gaming. Long Love The Necromancer!

Hey everyone, so my friends who I got to start playing all hit level 80 and we want to run around wvw… There are about 8 of us. I want to lead them as a mini zerg, but am not sure if there are any particularly basr builds that will allow me to stay alive, do a little damage and support my friends some how. My main is a necro and I’m new to the engi class, so and tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a ton – Atrech [CNB] Kaineng

Hmmm, I don’t think I’ve heard of a Bunker Ele…

So all my friends and I are trying to figure out what class should build what for just running around the WvW maps killing anyone we can. I play a condition damage engi and we have a Mesmer, Guardian, and Thief. I have some idea of what an effective build combination would consist of but I was just wondering what everyone else had to offer.

Thanks
