Is that hybrid power/condition build still around?

It might hath been. I am not terribly interested in minions however (since they are a letdown). I actually mostly PvE, but looking at the skills necros hath it seems to me that both power and condition work well together, though I do not have much toughness. Plus I already acquired a full set of corrupted orrian dungeon armor with the pwr/prec/crit combined with superior runes of undeath (or was it undead?), so I do not want to feel like I wasted my time with that.

I remember the topic about it but it hath not been updated in awhile it would seem. I rather like the idea of the hybrid build; so is anyone still using it or has anything to speak of for it?

The whole argument of “oh it is just a skin it does not effect gameplay and therefore does not matter blah blah blah”…can it really be applied to GW2? Was the whole idea of the “endgame” not for cosmetics, because last I checked GW2 was about skins in the end. So it seemeth more like that argument cannot apply to a game that hath its goal base as skins ultimately.

With that saith however, I do feel like the way Anet implemented the skins (at least for the various kinds of “chest-opening”-wise) could hath been done in a better fasion. Now I know not how it was in GW1 (it is to my limited knowledge a lot of earning instead of buying), but doth it not seem like we should be earning these skins instead? Be this not a limited holiday event? So why not make use of the event to earn skins instead of just buying them?

Now I am aware that we are “earning” them in a way currently, we buy gems and earn gold and other items, and then we…well frankly just gamble for the skins. Should there not be achievments and events and other things for this holiday that would earn us these skins? Would that not be a more productive and fullfilling way of going about it? To me, I am just sitting around LA sometimes wondering why I cannot be doing something to earn some holiday skins. And of course, we hath the system now that we be using.

On the topic of what they could hath done with chests, since the rate for them be so low, at the least I think that Anet could hath made a much large amount of Halloween items/skins and made them more common in addition to the already in place skins.

Finally, there very well could be skins or other items coming in other acts for completing the events such as the event building up in the center of LA, in fact there likely will be some holiday item for…beating(?) the Mad King. But still, these are just my thoughts on this whole thing going on.

Please share your thoughts on this.

Well thats just great…I deleted/used all my mystery tonics and boosts because of bank space. And now I need them again…sigh

Well is this recipe going to be active for the event only? Or forever now?

Are there going to be more additions to the gem store for the event?

Good job on the witch costume

Definitely going to pick up the costume in addition to the others, though I am somewhat disheartened that the warlock look is only for male characters and in my opinion looks great; but then that is what I get for playing a female character. So whatever. I wonder if there will be anymore costumes coming for this Halloween?

I honestly do not know what to do with my necro spec-wise.

I always hear how we should spec according to our playstyle, but I hath no idea what my playstyle actaully is. As I understand it, the necro has very view viable builds with respect to the glitches and mechanics. Conditionmancer being the best from what heard (but still not enought to match up to other professions’). Really I like to choose what the most optimal build overall is since I cannot really decide between any (ex. say, power (crit) or condition focused). With those two alone both hath downsides and upsides to them.

The build I am aiming for is this. (currently 80)

Thoughts on this? I hear to get as much toughness as possible or go for conditions since overall that is the best necros can do, and many other things. Doth what it is I do matter (PvE, PvP, WvWvW), because I really I just need to start going for dungeons.
