@Zintair
Just curious to know what your stat numbers are sitting at right now? You have a mix and match of armor which seems strange to me. Do you have a set of preferred stat numbers that you are trying to reach, or just throwing in different pieces to see what happens?
The Prec/Tough/Condi armor you are using is only attainable thru dungeons according to my research (Svanir/Khilborn/Nightmare/Corrupted Orrian). Are the stats you currently hold attainable with crafted gear?
My neccy is almost 80, and I want to test out your build when I get there.40k Karma Gear and TA Dungeon.
The reality is I took the build from a Conditionmancer to a hybrid and have now started tweaking bits and pieces to my liking.
I know most gamers fall into the habit of keeping stats in sync for example have full armor set of the same type and jewels of similar type.
I broke out of that a little bit and went back to my DAOC days of customizable crafted armor. That’s really what we have here albeit far less customized. Therefore I "Do you have a set of preferred stat numbers that you are trying to reach, ". did this. In this thread if I’m correct we did some napkin math on Crit vs Crit DMG. We found Crit to be far more valuable up to a specific % for diminishing returns. Therefore I swapped a few pieces to keep my crit over 55%.
I lacked Vitality and Condition (duration and dmg) which I then replaced with Runes of Krait and Affliction.
Jewelry I wanted to keep my Crit% higher but also keep a balanced Vit for added Health in both pools. I reached a level I found effective for my play style. This will not be that friendly to larger groups with heavy siege but simple swapping of Utilities can offer utility for all WvW situations.
A simple trait change allows you to swap from Wells which focus off Power and move to Scepter and Corrupt Bone if you are soloing (with 1 trait change). Your stated for a balance and the class Offensive/Defensive by nature.
Ill update shortly with my current unbuffed in game stats.
Hey Zintair, I’ve been following this thread of yours for a couple of weeks now and enjoy reading the feedback you have been giving/receiving.
I was just wondering how this Critmancer build would hold up in the toughest/longest dungeon paths in the game such as Arah (since my guild and I basically run through every other dungeon with relative ease). Before I spec my necro with your build, my concerns are mainly regarding the survivability and to a lesser extent the dps tradeoff if you recommend swapping out skills for dungeons.
Thanks.
