Have a question, don’t see much people here using the following, just wanted to get feedback from you fellas and see if I’m heading the right path.
Armor : TA Set ( Power + Precision + Condition Damage )
Sigil: Superior Sigil ( the one with + 10 every kill to condition damage )Aim is to deal an intense amount of condition damage / damage using aoe in WvW. I understand I have 0 + to toughness or vit and will be kind of soft but I am willing to sacrifice that for the damage I’ll gain from the Power + Precision + C.D. build. Am I going down the right path or am I not considering something?
Any feedback / opinions / violent reactions are all accepted and taken into consideration. Thank you very much
I rolled this when I first entered WvW. I think I am still the only person in the ENTIRE GAME of my time on Fort Aspenwood and WvW who uses Twilight Staff. I also got the gear to start. And it was decent until the players really broke the classes in.
Here are the specific numbers and realities of why that won’t work.
1) Actual ticking bleed damage takes a crap % from your +condition damage stat. If you have 1000 Condition damage you tick for 100 dmg ROUGHLY. When you reach 15-1600 condition damage your bleeds now tick for 160.
The issue now becomes twofold.
A) The Necro just physically can’t apply bleeds as fast as other classes. Now how many of that 25 capped stack will be yours and you will have applied before it reached 25?B) Conditions are just to easy to remove. And if you remove 1 bleed you remove them all.
The lastest little tidbit I’ll share is that sometimes you just need to get to close to rely on a good Epidemic that can only spread to 5 people as your “Big Boy” move. Then you sit there and spam on one target and will always just be assisting other people kill. You will never feel like you have accomplished anything. 1 passive cure negates ALL your stat’d DPS. Not working as intended IMO.
First off, just would like to thank you so much for opening this thread and for taking the time to help mine and others questions.
You know after reading what you posted, it does make sense that after throwing every aoe skill we have at an area wont really down an enemy but more like bother them, really is sad.. Hopefully one day they fix this in their patches, I wont reroll on another toon or what, will still stay strong in the necro class, I love the skills and concept and for me seems more interesting than the others by far ( besides mesmers ).
Regarding the build, I understand to focus on this build for all condition is indeed a waste, but If i had to use an AoE build for WvW, the type that places me at the back of the group casting spells against groups and not single enemies (disregarding any care for 1 on 1 combat ), if this was the case would basing it on this build still be appropriate or “do-able”? Staff skills + The wells + poison cloud ( forgot name ).
