Have you tried this build?

Thanks for this, I’m trying 20 in Soul Reaping instead of the mediocre traits of Blood Magic right now and so far so good!
Here’s the video of my build as promised.
Nice visualization of what the vampiric line looks like/well-healing. I heard the heals weren’t that great on siphoning though. Do you recommend using sigil of leeching?
And when people mention “sweet spots” for Condition Damage, that is usually in the context of a hybrid build.
Ooh, now I’m interested in what these hybrid builds look like …
I would suggest going for a mix of both rabid gear and carrion gear.
Cool, I’m gonna try this!
I don’t believe that there is a cap on condition damage. Only condition duration can be capped.
The more you have, the more damage your conditions do. If you have trouble with Conditions being removed it’s possible to go for more Condition Damage at the cost of Condition duration (If you haven’t already)
Thanks all for your advice!
I think I meant to say, is there a point where it’s not so beneficial anymore to trait into condi damage. I read somewhere 1100 or 1200 condition damage was a “sweet spot” to be at, whereas mine is almost 1800. I’ll definitely think about carrion now for the condi wvw build.
As for power/dagger mh build, do you all think knights or berserker/knights isn’t advisable? I’m so used to the high toughness on rabid that I was kind of scared to give it up.
I’ve had full rabid (Cond,Prec,Tough) armor/trinket/weapon from the time I hit 80 on necro. I use scepter/dagger and staff and traits are 0/30/20/20/0. 1745 condition damage without food.
Honestly I’m kind of wondering if this is the best build for what I want.
In WvW I LOVE the survivability of high toughness (1858) and the idea of wearing people out (not burst damage). But my conditions often get removed in long fights. Being that I have absolutely no power, the rest of my attacks do little damage. It’s also disconcerting when I agro everything in dungeons.
My questions are:
Does condition damage lose it’s scaling power after a certain amount? Is there a certain number I should’ve aimed for?
If so, I’m wishing I bought carrion.
Also considering changing to dagger mh and using wells and shroud more for a vampiric power build. Does anyone have any suggestions for gear and traits? Again I do not want to be squishy, so full berserker would be out of the question. Maybe knight’s…

Some people run condi duration like half runes of the afflicted instead of undead runes.
As for trinkets, I use full rabid, rabid weapons (Sigil of agony + earth) and rabid armor.
my vid, with my take on well mancery
What gear/traits are you using?
Update: woah. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/guild-wars-2-performance-benchmark,3268-7.html Now I’m wondering if using even AMD FX-6100 3.30 GHz Six-Core would be a ton worse than splurging on Intel® Core™ i5-3570K 3.40 GHz…
sigh.
You are limiting yourself to AMD processers because?
Mainly because of price. I am starting from scratch on the desktop (have an old laptop rn that’s garbage). Everytime I try to build using Intel it goes above my budget. Keep in mind I’ve been using cyberpowerpc and ibuypower.
I’m trying to build a new desktop specifically for GW2 but also that would be able to run things like Skyrim, Far Cry 3, and shooters. I don’t care about playing on ultra settings, just want less lag/greater fps. My budget isn’t very high (max maybe $700/800).
Do you think the AMD Radeon HD 7770 1GB or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1GB would be better for Guild Wars?
Also, if anyone has advice on affordable AMD processors, it would be greatly appreciated. I honestly don’t know how many min gigahertz I need, or even if 4, 6, or 8 cores are needed.
Thanks in advance!

Awesome that’s what I wanted to know!
Is there a list somewhere of the new ranks/titles based on WXP? I wanted to know what comes after “Rank 2 Invader” and so on.

I didn’t mean these achievement titles. I mean the new “Rank X Invader” thing. Does anyone know if there’s a title progression?

What armor/trinkets were you using? I’m stuck between staying AH with Knights (0/10/30/30/0) or going healway with Clerics/PVT (0/0/10/30/30).

The problem here is the massive point gap between t7 and t8… it is not relative to population at all. Population only impacts potential competitiveness, nothing else.
But when you look at this http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA SF has a rating of 979.072 compared to HoD at 1,031.722. The gap is really small for SF compared to T7. Obviously not so the case for ET and FC (who are at 636 and 576 respectively). Why can’t SF for one week face someone from T7?
I agree with OP but my question is, how large of a difference is there between SF’s population and that of T7? And even if it is off-balance (like that of ET/FC vs SF) why can’t there at least be some shift in match ups (even if temporary) for T8 repeated winners? It’s been this same pairing for months.The lack of drive to WvW is in part due to the inertia of the match ups inT8.
The low-res models all use standard skins and are persisted in memory so they only need to be loaded once. By setting the WvW Character Limit and WvW Character Quality correctly it is possible to have all player characters (except yours) displayed using the low-res models (and thus the standard skins).
Can anyone tell me where the WvW Character Limit and WvW Character Quality options really are? I was staring at the options menu and I could not see anything related to WvW settings.
