Guild Wars 2

I wanted to bump this thread and say thanks for the vid. I’ve been running this build lately and it’s pretty fun.

The only change I made was I changed to 20% faster focus skill recharge instead of spinal shivers at 25%.

Essentially 1v1 with Mesmer, you die. As a necro 1v1 with anyone, you die. Its just the current state of the game sadly.

This. Sadly in s-pvp we are one of the throwaway classes that aren’t that useful.

I managed to almost take down a guardian 1v1 in spvp an hour ago, then he used his elite skill and healed, then killed me with 80% HP.

It was thrilling “almost” killing one of the better classes in the game, the adrenaline rush was awesome. Then only disappointment came.

Perhaps you’re server is very strong or something.

I play only sPvP on Darkhaven.

I’ve done pretty well 1v1 and come out on top often except against mesmers. I have a feeling that either I’m lucky or I’m playing total scrubs, like myself. I don’t consider myself competitive so I think I’m just ignorant/sheltered from the PvP pros and min/maxers.

I’ve not competed in any tournaments or anything though so I really know nothing in terms of balance. I’ve not played any other professions either. I’ve just been focusing on being as good as I can at my necro.

Cempa, I remember you from SWTOR forums. Hah, same faces, same places.

Thanks for info guys.

I’m curious why the build on the teamparadigm post (see comment in second link) uses Flesh Golem for it’s elite. I find Plague much more useful. The author seems extremely knowledgeable and vetted so I was hoping he would explain this choice, however, he seems to completely skip elites entirely in his post. I really enjoyed reading the feedback on a lot of the other abilities.

I’ve only playing sPvp and I’m running a 30/30/0/0/10 scepter/focus build with staff offhand.

I love using a fear to interrupt a res or stomp, it just makes my day.

However, I seem to be having issue with Mesmers w/ a lot of illusions. It’s very frustrating, which is the point, of course. Any tips?

Agree, I’ve just been doing sPvP for that very reason. I would like to try some WvWvW w my guild. Unfortunately, hour+ queues aren’t going to work for me.

So, this seems like a bug, however, I’m afraid it’s not. If you have nothing targeted, and use any ability, your cooldown will be wasted, even with a friendly targeted. Also, if a target dies after you’ve hit your hotkey, your cooldown will be wasted.

Surely this cannot be intentional? Are you guys going to clean this up? It’s very detrimental to experience and counter intuitive.
