Guild Wars 2

@cyst I run with soldiers

Hey Bas, thanks for the reply, couple more question that hopefully you can answer -
1.what kind of conditionmancer are you running for your team fights?

2.You stated that when you ran MM you would do a similar thing and go straight to mid to defeat the bunker-
-You also said that a good power necro would blow through a MM.
Therefore (heres my theory) Do you think its safe to say that the same power necro would do just as well with your previous MM’s job of running to the center?

3.I honestly do not like minions and would love to ditch them, but I have had great success with them in terms of tanking,1v1, 2v1, and others. Its hard for me to switch when i absolutely burn through all the necros I see? I’m hoping that if you elaborate on your conditionmancer build or power build I can adapt those to my play style and achieve better result (since thats what I am seeing in mist league)?

So I wanted to update my current situation, I posted up a while ago to upvote the MM build, and now I have more experience with it.

I do Tpvp with a team every night and we have gone undefeated for the last 10 games, granted this is not professional league or anything but we do really well (I think) and hopefully can play some better competition.

we run with a engi, war, guard, MM necro (me) and another (mesmer/ranger/Ele). I ALWAYS go mid point right away. and surprisingly I am normally the last one standing IN THE THICK of it. I Mean I am tanky with all these minions. I normally blast my little buggers when they are low and just do overall aoe dmg and CC.

Bas noted that the MM is not viable in team fights, but from my (granted, not as vast) experience I have been doing really well, I eat up 1v1s (especially non-MM necros), and can stay alive in 2v1 3v1s long enough for help. Almost always turn the tide in 2v2s. I have found that I can stay alive MUCH longer then my previous power style builds, as well as put out more dmg with my minions

I look forward to finding a non-minion master necro build that can kill me, I have watched the past couple mist league games and sadly the necros I saw were not MM, they seemed to be conditionmancers?

My build:
20-0-30-20-0
Axe focus/staff
rune of vamp
blood fiend
little buggers
well of power
bone fiend
flesh golem

My Issues/Questions
My issues with it are bone fiends rigor mortis is Incredibly hard for me to land? does anyone have any tips for landing this?

Lack of mobility

minions AI – duh.

Does anyone have a non-MM build that can beat MM builds 1v1?

thanks for reading

okay so I was jamming on a dueling server today and this guy highlord comes in, and I think im pretty tough kitten right, rocking axe war horn semi bunker build centered around dolyak runes and locust swarm and stun.

anyway, he comes in asks for duel and absolutely dominates me, hands down no question . So i proceed to ask him about his build, and its this MM stuff and I have been converted, for the past two hours we’ve been jaming in a dueling server against various opponents talking about this build.

I highly recommend trying this, although it will take some getting used to. But its absolutely killer for 1v1.

@yroeht can you elaborate on your build for arah? primarily what runes and armor do you run?

@azraeel can you also shed light on your build in comparison to the OP’s build?
