Makes sense. Though it does cut in your energy management. The skills are all high cost.

True, but a couple pain absorptions with a buddy nearby and you’re looking at 6-8s+ right off the bat.

I just realized last time we got to play it was without Herald. It would certainly cut into energy, but Facet of Nature would really help extend that resistance duration to some crazy levels. Something like Facet of Nature > Pain Absorption x2 would get you something like 20s. From there drop Mallyx and jump into Shiro or something and just kill the condi guy you’re fighting.

Something in line of this then perhaps?

Has decent fury access and with boon increase from Herald it lasts a lot longer, so sitting at around 40ish% crit chance, + Maniacal Persistence which with the buff is 10% increase. Lyssa runes for crit chance and extra cond removal.

Looking at Boon duration increase:

  • +15% from “Envoy of Sustenance”
  • + 50% when Having Facet of Nature up
  • + 2 secs flat increase from “Soothing Bastion”

Are you kidding? Mallyx is godly against conditions. Almost a must have legend in PVP.

How is it “godly”?

All I see is that is just gives 2 sec of resistance when using a Mallyx skill and that is only when traited.

It doesn’t really cleanse anything.

Maybe I’m missing something but I can’t see why Mallyx is such a must have when not playing a condition build yourself in pvp. I’d love to know cause Rev does seem cool. Just the abysmal lack of cond clears is putting me off.

I get that the class must have a weakness and that cond are just that. But this amount of cond clears is a bit too low lol.

“It doesn’t really cleanse anything.”

Exactly, it doesn’t need to. Instead you have basically perma resistance but you still use all the condis applied to you to spread to enemies and make your Mallyx utilities more powerful.

2 seconds when using a Mallyx skill may not immediately jump out at you, but remember these skills have no cooldown only energy management. Use Pain Absorption for a LONG application of resistance and just stack from there.

Makes sense. Though it does cut in your energy management. The skills are all high cost.

Spirit Guardian _ Spvp

It’s a good build that I’ve been using for awhile myself with the exception of spirit bow which i use Purging Flames to remove condis and burn foes then with the focus can cause more burning on them with shield of wrath along with the added protection (5). The spirit hammer has nice cc plus when triggered can do some great dmg (the only downside is it’s fairly easy to see when it is being triggered and dodge so it’s best to try and use up the person’s dodges or lock them with #3 or 4 with the hammer before using. Think I did 9.3k dmg to someone yday. You may want to replace speed runes with Runes of Strength instead due to all the might you can get from it and the added 7% dmg boost with might boost. You’ll lose out on 1800hp but the dmg output may make up for it.

As for Traits I have been absolute resolution for the added condi removals instead of indomitable courage and since I don’t really use symbols much I went with wrathful spirits for the added retaliation on aegis removal.

Edit: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAS8dlsApIoVBxZI8DNh8QlZd0iVPBBwDgZJ+EA-TJRBwAduIA02f4cZAAPBAA

I actually find using barbarian amulet to be a better fit with the added hp.

How do ppl get these numbers?
I’ve tried to make a phantasm build (complete mesmer newb btw, only know how to play pure shatter build) by taking all phantasm traits and dmg increase traits I can combined with strength runes and a celestial amulet (don’t like zerker, too kitten squishy) and I can’t get my illu swordie to crit any higher than maybe 5ishk on the unsuspecting glassy thief.

On a side note; what is this (current) PU build?
Usually when I fight mesmers I tend to blow em up so I can’t really tell who’s running what build (most I see just spam gs skills and the occassional sword shatter burst in between). XD

Posted by: Glenn.3417

This is horrendous. Ever since they disabled the “farm” in custom arena’s all those scrubs come to tpvp. Because a loss gives 500 points, might even be faster than the custom farms.

5 matches in a row with r10 or below. And obviously they have no clue and just kitten around.

If only there would be some system that allowed you to be matched with ppl who are equal rank (1-10/11-20/21-30/etc). Butt since it’s not pve related, we get the shaft.

Gg anet, gg.

I have absolutely nothing against fighting alongside low ranked players. After all, we were all low ranked at one point of time.

I do wonder though at the wisdom of putting all the low ranks in the same team instead of dividing them equally. But then, the system is based on MMR and not rank which only goes to show how messed up the MMR thing is!

I have no problem either, butt it’s plain obvious that 90% of them are just there to farm (3 ppl going close at the start of the game to get the 10 points so they get the rewards and then just run around feeding the enemy team.)

It’s only in the last few days that it’s been very obvious with the amount of lowbies that you get matched with. I don’t remember ever being matched with a r1, or even a r10 before. Maybe once in a blue moon, butt not every other match lol.

Hey, that’s a good point (pun intended!). Maybe they didn’t care about the outcome of the match and just came to do their dailies. Hmm….

This is ridiculous. Maybe they need to remove dailies from a game mode where other people are relying on your performance…

Or just change the point reward based on your rank, percentage wise perhaps.

25% speed increase for every class

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

Mesmers have focus for swiftness and 2 teleports (Blink + the Phase Retreat trick) for movement.

Guardians have perma swiftness.

Hardly any decent ele uses the speed signet.

If a necro uses the signet he has to sacrifice a valuable skill slot (they have no other movement skills cept for the wurm teleport but that is just lolz)

The fact that not every class get’s the same access to speed movement increases is pretty ok considering how much block/vigor/teleports/aegis/cloak some have.

Mesmer Moa vs. Minion Necro a little much

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

Facts:

  • Necros who play full MM have no reliable condition cleanse. They must either be running dagger offhand (Deadly Swarm can be dodged/reflected, has an obvious animation), and/or use staff (marks are dodge/blocked even easier).
  • Blood Fiend is their main life line. Kill that and he’ll have a hard time healing. Has a 20 sec cd (16 sec when traited but then they don’t have Staff Mastery or Greater Marks which makes it easier to deal with their marks) and a whopping 1 and a half sec cast time (might as well scream “INTERRUPT ME PLOX” and put a giant red bullseye on the necro).
  • Minions suffer from horrible ai, tend to cluster together so AOE IS YOUR FRIEND.
  • Like their masters, minions suffer from what is know in the necro community as the “ping-pong effect”, so cc them at your hearts content. Only Flesh Golem get’s stability for 15 secs when using Charge (which can be stripped or stolen for your personal use).
  • The act of Moa, Lich and Plague removing all minions is a bug and is known by the devs. It’s not a “feature”. As with most major necro bugs, we’ll be having a fix for that in a year or so * cough * ds utility bug * cough *

So instead of screaming “l2p / l2dodge / OP QQ ehuehuehue” learn the class and contribute to the topic.

And as far as “relying on ai” goes, mesmers are one to talk, their entire class is based around the ai of clones and phantasms.

Hundred Blades Idea.

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

You must not be understanding the concept. Greatsword has no option to stun or immobilize.

10 points in Tactics: Leg Specialist; Immobilize a target when you cripple them with a skill.
Use GS: Bladetrail > Rush > Hundred Blades.
Congratz, you just successfully crippled+immobilized someone, rushed towards them and pulled off a 100b. All without the need to weapon swap or secondary utilities.

Why do most warriors always want the cheezy way out? Is it that hard to actually combo off skills?

If by your definition then I (as a necromancer) can also ask for an immobilize on my axe #2 and dagger #2 skill, cause if the opponent dodges or runs out of range it doesn’t do full dmg. >_>

Also, paragraphs wouldn’t hurt anyone.

RIP power builds in roaming

Posted by: Glenn.3417

This pretty much kills all power based roaming builds in wvw, where conditions where already king of all.
Instead of adressing the actual problem (mobs/pve mechanisms), they wreck crit dmg.
Ppl will still run zerker in pve, it doesn’t change a kitten thing.
Once again wvw get’s shafted cause of pve scrubs crybabies.

All hail the necro/Guardian/Warrior era (for those of you who aren’t already there).

FYI: “Dhuumfire changed to make only Life Blast apply 3 sec burning with 10 sec cd”
This means most cond burst build are kaput (engi and ranger do it better, hell even warrior out does necro) and with this crit nerf all power builds get gutted even more. Guess necro just has to roll over and play dead when enemy is sighted.

[PvE][Necromancer] General Viability

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

Agree 200% totally on the life pool overflow from DS.

Yet no on the Axe #2 skill. That skill is perfectly fine as it is, good burst+LF generation.
Axe#3 has pbaoe and gives pretty much perma Retaliation and strips boons with ok dmg.
The only thing you should change on axe is the AA; remove the 2 chain and change it into just 1 attack (little less dmg maybe 10-15%ish) and give it a cleave, 3 targets at minimum.
DS#4&5, piercing life blast, wells are all good aoe dmg skills for necro (power build wise).

They should change on of the minor traits (in Death Magic perhaps) to 10-15% faster endurance regen. Would be a hell of a lot better than that useless minion you spawn on kill.
I mostly play wvw/tpvp but I do try to do a dungeon daily.
And it’s absolutely a huge difference when say fighting Alpha in coe on necro than on my mesmer (fight him normally and not hurr durr stack here and dps).
As mesmer I don’t even need to dodge, you can just stand there and attack, evade from sword #2, block on sword #4 and shatter f4 is all you need.
Yet necro hardly regens endurance fast enough to dodge every aoe he drops. And you can’t soak it up in ds anymore as well since it just goes into your main hp.

Edit: Just read the Guang post and just no lol.

1) Bad dps? Necro doesn’t have the dps warrior or burst d/d thieves have but in no way we have crap dps.
Try playing a Ds build; life blast hits like a truck, stacks might and vulnerability. Not to mention the aoe dmg from ds#4.

2) Bad survivability? Again no, with proper use of DS a necro can often out sustain where others might die (low hp and heal on cd? pop ds and wait it out).
Though it is annoying fighting Alpha on necro, though if you keep range and dodge wisely it’s doable. Not like we insta die or anything lol.

3) As far as offensive support goes, there are classes that do this better but necro can surely manage. Yet if you really need a support class so badly in your group, might as well ask a support guardian then.
Transfusion (Life Transfer heals nearby allies) is quite good. It even heals when you don’t hit any targets. This get’s used by necros is wvw guild raids too who play well/support.

The new dire stat combo

in Necromancer

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

Will Rabid still be gear of choice in PvE?

Doubtful, seeing as with this new set you gain extra survivability and don’t loose overall damage.

Of course, this will change if they don’t have any prescision… no matter what your damage is, you need the crit factor for certain sigils, runes, and crests.

I take the crapload of extra vit on Dire stat combo over the odd bleed you get from the precision on Rabid.
Now you can take 2 bleeds on weapon swap sigils and a condition duration increase for example.
And don’t forget, the extra vit you get counts double; your Life Force bar increases with vit aswell!

I’m quite aware of this, but as far as I’m concerned the necro vision is to facetank damage and not avoid it, block it, etc. So might as well tank it to the best of my ability.

I do fear though that the necro is becoming more and more of a skill-less class. No need to master evades, just tank it. No need to time burst, just hit 1 for tons of conditions. But either way, I enjoy the attrition playstyle and I will be using this gear.

I just fear that this set and the crying that will come with it will result in more necro nerfs. We all know anet isn’t know for their bright light decisions.

You do realise that this stat combo is gonna lead to more crying from tards that necro is “op” and “unkillable” when used in wvw.

Personally I don’t think they should have added this stat combo, conditions are strong enough as it is. The fact that you had to choose between rabid, carrion or a mix from the two came with some form of drawback; gave you either less hp or less toughness.

One could argue that they also have a power version (ppt) but those builds don’t exactly are hard hitters so come with a draw back in less overall damage. With this cond dmg set you gain survivability and don’t suffer any loss in overall dmg.

Condition builds did not need buffing, at all.

How to counter condi necro as power necro

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

I don’t have that much problem vs a cond necro 1-1 as a power necro.
Just use your lf to soak up the conditions as well. I use Life Blast with DS#4 to burst.
If you run axe and take the 20% axe dmg increase it also works on your ds skills (axe#2 is also a good burst.).
You can also blind them (I have off hand dagger with my axe) when they go into ds, so you can make their fear miss.

And they dont bother with the WvW scene and GVG developing at all which is shame. But these transfers guilds make without even trying to contact comunity ect on the server they want to go is just bulkitten…
And one more yes every noob that fail hard and try to explain he is sfr in prime time kitten es me off, I like to see our guilds on the maps doing the job we were in ruins we raised again .And non of you Rmk ONS and others helped for this same as single player transfers you are just kittening Bandwagoners end of story.

There is a reason I dont reado official forum came back only to see what people say for con. So leaving it again not worthing to flame i-net wars. IF you want to prove something prove it on BL

Sad to see such elitism is a game such as this.
It’s not because you’re in some “pro” guild that you have the right to trash talk the people who join your server. If you can’t stand it I suggest you reroll Tetris!

I know that I must get full soldier gear from dungeons ( farming ) or via WvW badges ( farming and its too hard to get 860 badges just for accessories !)

You can get all soldier accessories with karma as well; the Temple of Grenth karma vendor sells them for 42k a piece.

They just increases all karma gain with yesterdays patch so shouldn’t be all too hard to get enough karma (and if you wvw you get badges and karma).

My build >> http://tinyurl.com/mw4pqgj
Soldier armor ( mixed with Knight ) will grant you much Toughness and some Vitality so you won’t worry if they killed ur minions.

I wanna suggest you either change your trinkets to knight (if you really want crit chance) or soldier. Don’t know why you took cavalier as the 18% crit dmg increase on a 4% crit chance is kinda useless.

I run a full soldier build for MM; soldier gives you vit (which also increases your life force bar) instead of the crit % from cavalier.

More Plague skills!

in Necromancer

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

The skills Plague has now are fine.

IF they add any skill, what it should be is a condition cleanse skill. Either cleans them off you one every 10 secs or transfer them to an opponent 10-15 sec cool down, depending how many transfered (it’s called PLAGUE for a reason right).

As far as it is now, it’s more of a skill used for group play. If you use it solo and they add a ton of conditions on you’re you’re a sitting duck. Either die or cancel plague to get rid of them. Which makes Golem the only elite I find usable while playing solo (wvw, spvp and pve). When I play my power build I find Lich form skills so daft I prefer the Golem, as I find it more useful.

Why is WvW Rank Not Shared Between All Toons?

in WvW

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

Pretty easy solution for this:

Make wvw rank/points account bound, but make players choose on what character to spend their points. That way build are still char bound but points can be spend freely, so ppl can still diversify with wvw rank builds and are not locked into a single character, making it alt friendly.

Unyielding Blast, Pierce to Splash

in Necromancer

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Glenn.3417

Little confused about the whole “pierce” mechanic in this game.

Do I have to target the furthest enemy to have max pierce or if I target the nearest enemy will it pierce for the whole 1200 range?

Unconstructive Necromancer thoughts

in PvP

Posted by: Glenn.3417

Ermahgerd 30 sec stun break cool downs. Necro stun breaks are 60secs and even crappier stability, please tell me more.

You need to trait and spec for condition removal, guess what the fear necro has to trait and spec into fear. You say you play mesmer, maybe you ought to take a closer look at your class and learn to play it better.

we have ZERO stability. Necro can trait for it on DS and have it on TWO Elites. Yes they have to trait to make it BETTER but its not as if its awful to start with, minus the damage from Terror fear is still offers like 3-4seconds of fear when you take 2 Utilities and 1 weapon.

The difference being that we LOSE ALOT when forced to trait for ONE build type (Conditions) With all the traits high in the trait line and all the involved skills long cool downs and when compared to the current burst easy condition meta its pretty much pointless.

So, what exactly does the Necro lose out on if they go the Fear route with Teeror, they can also get Fear increasing items, runes and think they have traits for it as well.

lets not forget you get Death Shroud for EVEN more health, abilities, fear and can be VERY powerful as well.

Zero stability eh? Know your class eh?
Captain obvious to the rescue Ermahgerd.

That’s 4 secs of stability (without any boon duration increase from stats and or gear) on a 25 sec cd. Get’s even more if you trait for mantras.

Forced to trait for one build type? Guess what conditions builds are used on alot of classes and not just necro.

We get fear increasing items? Well, you get condition decreasing items.

You obviously have no idea what so ever.

so, you want mesmers to make a sub par build

nice……….

dude, lots of mesmers already adapted. they rolled a necro……

So you want necros to run a sup par build?

Nice ……..

Dude lot’s of necros adapted, they rerolled warrior/guardian/mesmer……

Go troll someplace else.

what wrong with trolling you

obviously, you can play a mesmer better than xeph or helseth whom rerolled necros

“Halp, I’m a mesmer who can’t fight a necro. Someone call anet; necros need more nerfs and mesmer needs more buffs!”

Like all the mobility, stealths, stunbreakers and invulnerability isn’t enough. How about we start a topic where we cry about moa morph being op, how it shuts down necro minion builds and how it’s vastly abused by mesmers?
