I removed the sigils for some crest of soldiers. Bad Idea?
Done. Thanks for all the help guys.
Here’s the build now: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJEQNAR8enMdY6gSS9dYXIGPwKEdHQUqTELbBmSMo01CQ+bBgQ37lN0eaB-TByGwAAuoCRVCOWHwQlfT0wsa/BRq/o4JFQKA2UGB-e
Still not sure which rune I should be using with this build.
Sigils – I guess damage increase and critical chance increase doesn’t do much for this build because I am not damaged focused. I guess I will use survival focused sigils instead – Purity and Water added. They have nice short cool downs and the condition for activating them is the easiest one for this build.
If not rune of melandru or scrapper. What rune should I use?
Wow. I didn’t even notice rousing resilience. It works really well with Warrior’s Sprit. I already have 2 movement skills and I think I will add the 2 more I mentioned previously for 4 movement skills that breaks stuns. And I already have stun breaks from outrage, headbutt and endure pain.
Added Brawler’s Recovery.
Changed rifle for sword/shield. Hopefully, I can close the gap with savage leap+shield bash+weapon swap+whirlwind attack+rush or any combination of those skills. The movement skills also prompts me to swap weapons more often and get that brawler trait off more often. Bonus block on shield – Probably best if I stick to Melandru’s rune because I can mitigate physical damage more than condi damage.
I don’t like meta builds even if they are better builds. I don’t like running what everyone else is running (unless I come to the build myself).
For PvE, I can just swap out the soilder’s gear and food for berserker’s gear and food and the traits and skills will still work with crit focused stats. I wish I didn’t have to change builds+gear manually every time I swapped between wvw and pve.
Hope Anet adds an auto build change with wvw like they did with normal pvp.
Off-Topic: No duel wielding GSs for the berserker. What does a torch even have to do with going ape-kitten crazy on your opponent?
I should have mentioned. I only command when no one else is around so I don’t need to be a 100% dedicated tank. I prefer something around 3 quarter tank.
Here is my new build after revising your suggestions: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJEQJARUnMdY6gSS9dYXIGPwKEdHQUqTELVBmSPoxlDeHtt2ZLyirBEAA-TBCBwAAukCq0wgWJYgnUQO1f0q8TvuAh7PQKA2UGB-e
*Keeping GS – Must play GS, only reason I made this char.
*Keeping rifle – Bow or Rifle. Want secondary weapon to have max range so I am limited to rifle and bow.
Changed signets to Outrage,berserk and Endure pain. The shouts work great but I want to use Soldiers’ Stats – for the Soldier 1st Class reference so I’ll go with caedmon’s suggestion. Rage fits Sephiroth theme more than shouts.
Changed elite signet to Headbutt. Might as well go full berserker specialization.
Really temped to change defy pain to armoured attack for that soldier stats. Will probably change between the two depending on game mode.
Changed out tactics because shouts and warhorn are not being used.
Added Discipline – Warrior’s Sprit is just a really nice trait to deal with immobilize. GS has 2 movement skills. I might change rifle to sword/shield to get 2 more movement skill but I still want a ranged weapon.
Brawler’s Recovery seems to weak of a trait to consider. going with DotE
Added Burst Mastery to help get more adrenaline for cleansing ire.
Just going for some permanent sigils because most of em are meh.
I can’t find curry mussel soup on TP. I don’t want to have to craft it myself. I’ll just use the soldier’s food. Lemongrass Poultry and Potent Superior Sharpening Stone.
Does scrapper reduce condition damage? Direct damage rarely kills me. I can usually kill glass cannons that rely on direct damage. Its usually condition damage that hurts the most. Is rune of Melandru a good idea?
I livestream on my youtube channel with my warrior sephiroth clone.
I don’t have much experience with warriors but this is the build I currently use.
I would appreciate some help from someone more experienced than me.
I need to command in WvWvW sometimes and have to use tanky build or else I die and people stop following me.
Ladies and Gentlemen/my fellow necromancers:
Given the paucity of communication from the Devs, and given that the necromancers that frequent this forum have pointed out the problems with our current state and identified every bug and downside to the class, I propose we, the necromancer community, boycott the necromancer section of the forums. There is simply nothing left to say until such time as bug fixes are implemented or a developer chooses to actually contribute to the community discussion. I for one, will withdraw from commenting in this forum until one of the above happens. Will it change anything? likely not, nor do I require you to care what I have to say. A forum is a place to express oneself about the game, and I have nothing constructive to add.
I have read practically every post, contributed where I could, transitioned from excitement about the class, to frustration with the limitations and bugs, to increased frustration due to limited dev communication and outright veiled insults , to anger, and now calm. I have dealt with the possibility that the devs do not agree with their community and potentially have no fixes planned.
Thus, I bid you good day, good evening, and a well intentioned good bye, until such time as we see changes. Wish you all the best of luck.
EMPTY WORDS FROM DEVS
(edited by Shafi.8952)
Nothing has changed….
Necros are still underwhelming
We don’t need to boycott Necromancy anymore. Any half-decent player with a shred of wit will know that Necromancers suck in everything [apart from zarging] and will avoid the class.
If the Necromancer community worked together and listen to me a year ago, we might have had some results.
Anyway, kitten Necromancers. I wasted 2 years on it. I will main Revenant as soon as it comes out. At least I will have an even start with other people if I main Revenant.
Arena Net should just remove this kittenty profession.
Either
Step 1: Specialization will fix the profession.
Step 2: Everyone will only use specialization and Great sword.
Step 3: People will complain that Necros are too OP.
Step 4: Nerf
Step 5: Necros will going back to being a kittening useless profession
Or
Step 1: Specialization is so underpowered that its useless
Which do you think will happen?
Powerful -> Nerf
Just right -> no change – useless class still useless
Underpowered -> Unused
I think GS will be handled the same way Dhuumfire was handled ie DHUUMLY.
WE NEED SOMETHING OP LIKE DHUUMFIRE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE WEAKEST PROFESSION IN GAME. DONT kittenING NERF THE GREATSWORD AFTER PUTTING IT IN.
…sorry…still haven’t gotten over the Dhuumfire nerf…give us a little hope..then crush it…kill our family and friends…rub salt in out wounds…kitten our corpses…Arena Net…
ITS kittenING DEAD. JUST LET IT END.
Will Necromancers ever catch a break?
No.
Its been 3 years that we have been bullied and beaten to the ground. Other professions can do anything Necromancer can do but better. People don’t want us in a party. anything apart from Necro is favourable when creating a party.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Great sword skills are lame and does nothing to help.
I made the mistake of making necro my main form launch and waiting for Anet to fix this class. I could have changed to something else but I kept having faith in Anet.
Its pretty much clear that they don’t give a kitten about necros. They don’t play necros and they don’t understand the profession.
Over the years people gotten used to necros being a lame profession. When ever we perform at the same level as other profession, we get nerfed. They can’t stand necros not being the underdog because that’s what they have gotten used to.
Even if the Great Sword skills are good. People will complain about necros doing well and the GS will get nerfed.
All necromancers have is a large health pool thats fun for other’s professions to take down. We are like some mini-boss in a hack-and-slash game on easy mode.
As soon as revenant comes out, I am making that my main and kitten my necro. I wasted years on it.
I think the extra precision from zerker set is wasted on Necro. Valkyrie is more useful
50% crit chance from Death Perception + 20% from Fury (from furious demise) + 30% from gears and traits.
Valkyrie set is more useful than zerker set because the precision is not required. The vitality from valkyrie fuels Rune of the Wurm (and Furious maintenance oil if you are rich). Also the vitality helps death shroud last longer.
dagger auto and locust swarm helps fuel death shroud and death shroud is used for criting.
Utilities are not that important. I proc wells and locust swarm before going into death shroud so that they crit.
So give me some constructive criticism to improve the build.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dhuum%27s_Soul_Reaper
Add it to the game as a legendary counter-part to bifrost !
9/10 Pretty nice and simple monocolor scheme, looks kinda like a perma death shroud without the animation
Me with my new mini
Started 6 months back. Got bored of farming and sold all mats to buy other mats and make The Crossing. Restarted progress 2/3 months back.
- Kraitkin*
1 Venom
2 Gift of Kraitkin
3 Gift of Fortune
#77 Mystic Clover
#250 Glob of Ectoplasm
#1 Gift of Magic
#1 Gift of Might
##250 Vicious Fang
##250 Armored Scale
##250 Vicious Claw
##250 Ancient Bone
4 [s]Gift of Mastery[s]
Too busy with university to finish this
I would rather farm towards the new Halloween weapons that will come out.
If anyone is willing to make an investment of gold/mats, contact me.
I will sell Kraitkin in TP and return the investment gold/mats+20% of the investment.

“Spooky sneak peek” was pretty misleading when it was just a balance preview.
To be fair, with the amount of inconsistent buffs and consistent nerfs, balance patches are always scary for, us, necromancers.
“The Mystic Forge recipes for The Mad Moon, Arachnophobia, and The Crossing have been temporarily disabled.”
So I wasted 3 weeks grinding for nothing? This is the worst feeling I have felt in a long while.
Why didnt devs disable the recipe for crafting the gifts too? I wasted time and gold for mats that I cant use or sell.
When halloween arrives, these items will probably be as common as blacklion chests. Nice joke anet.
I hope the new recipe will still use the current gifts. I don’t mind grinding for something but I hate grinding for nothing.
Sorry about this QQ tread, but I am sad. ;(

7.5/10 Nice face for necro, good color-scheme.
-1 for the helm, looks like an asura apprentice fresh out of university.
-1 for not showing weapons

Necros are not much good at anything. There is always another profession that is batter than necro at doing certain role.
People below me might say – Necro is good in spvp. This is untrue, just a few condition remover disables condition necro’s performance; guardians make better bunkers; necro dont have much burst potential to be worth being built to DPS like thieves; Necros hardly have much support skill.
People below me might say – Necro is good at condition. This is untrue, other classes like ranger and engi cant stack more types of condition, mesmer can stack more damaging condition (confusion), gurdians can stack longer conditions (burning), warriors cant inflict more stacks of bleeding with less effort, etc. Edit: forgot to mention the 25 bleed stack limit.
People below me might say – Epidemic. This relies on other professions to be truly effective.
People below me might say – Jake of all trades, master of none. This is untrue, elementalist makes a better jake of all trades due to their attunement swap.
People below me might mention things necros are best at, simply because they are the only class that has access to it.

How/Where can I get Crystal Lodestone? I didn’t get one as a drop in 1k hours of gaming.
Whats the quickest way to get 100 Crystal Lodestone?
(Apart from spending real-life money on gems, converting gems to gold, using gold to buy from TP)

Add Cantha.
-Not a request, but a demand.
Is it every Europe player, or just us?
1) If Player A applies regeneration boon on Player B, is it Player A’s or Player B’s Healing Power that affects the amount health is healed by?
According to Wiki:
Health Healed by Regen is
5 + (1.5625 * Level) + (0.125 * Healing Power) per second
Common sense tells us that it should be Player A’s Healing Power because Player A is the one Healing; but considering the amount of lazy programming from Anet, I am not sure.
2) And how does regen work if, Player A and Player B both applies a 2 second Regeneration boon on Player B?
(edited by Shafi.8952)
Agreed. SAB should be a permanent part of GW2.
How can I make this build viable for WvWvW??

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Memory_of_the_Sky
Memory of the Sky and other staffs with same skin looks awkward when wielded: The wings points towards the caster making it seems unnatural and unintended design error.
I suggest that the staff is rotated 180 degree so that the wings face away from the caster.
Necromancer scythe animation (one of the vary few good things about necromancer) clashes with this staff

I am starting to run explorable dungeons, daily. Currently I am using wells and marks build – problem is that it aggros too many mobs towards me and I get killed within 2-3 seconds (when well of blood is in cool-down).
What build I should I use to be accepted in a party?
Edit: Tried some of the suggested condition builds; feels more squishy then my current toughness/vit well build.

Does it scale up with any of the attributes, apart from hunger increasing life-force pool?

I thought we would have more parts to the scavenger hunt (like we did in Halloween): then get a soul-bound cool looking reward.
I haven’t seen any result of Researcher Levvi’s research (sometype of item that will give en edge over the karka – storywise not gamewise)
Neither have I seen any result of Inspector Ellen Kiel’s ingestigation. (Reward from BLTC for spilling the beans on their competition).
Am I sadly mistaken?
“Play any profession”, they said. “Play any build”, they said.
I can’t play at the same level as other professions. What am I doing wrong?

@Alistair Cardozo.2560
I am not crying. I just want to know.
@Bella.3502
I might be wrong but I think Alistair strategically posted that post so that I would have a reason to reply and bump up this thread.
Even if we don’t get a reply from ArenaNet, we will know the answer tomorrow. Only differences their reply will make is whether or not crafters spend money on materials for crafting.
Similar Situation here. Currently, I have 0g 2s 77b total: I am broke.
I gathered the Halloween components required but the other components, like “40 Bottle of Elonian Wine” and “10 Pile of Crystalline Dust”, I have no time/money for.
(edited by Shafi.8952)
Anthony Ordon: “Certain components that will only drop during Halloween”
I guess that’s “Piece of Candy Corn”, “Chattering Skull”, “Nougat Center” and “Plastic Fang”, but that doesn’t answer the questions.
Still need clearification.
Bumped
Reply to this topic, if you want the questions above answered and/or to keep this topic in page 1. Thank you.
1) Given that players have the required materials; Can we craft “Recipe: Gift of Souls”, “Recipe: Gift of The Moon” and “Recipe: Gift of Spiders” after Halloween is over?
So for example: during Christmas, if I put “250 Piece of Candy Corn”, “100 Nougat Center”, “40 Bottle of Elonian Wine” and “10 Pile of Crystalline Dust” into the mystic forge; Would I get a “Recipe: Gift of Souls”?
2) Given that players have the required materials: Can we craft “Runes of the Mad King” and “Sigils of the Night” after Halloween is over?
So for example: during New Year, If an artificer with 400 crafting level, who already learnt “Recipe: Superior Sigil of the Night”, tries to craft “20 Superior Sigil of the Night” with “20 Orichalcum Ingot”, “20 Charged Lodestone”, “2,000 Piece of Candy Corn” and “20 Glob of Ectoplasm”. Can she/he do so?
2 Questions directed at Arena Net. Sorry if they were already questioned beforehand: if they were, could someone link me to the thread where these questions were answered.
Ran the dungeon 8 times, only masterwork items and some tonics from the chest for me, none of the people I was with got any exotic.
I was hoping for some unique skin that other players won’t have access to if they didn’t do the dungeon or don’t pay some large amount of gem. I wouldn’t care even if was not exotic and was just a normal untransmutable accountbound item with worse stat then level 1 starter item. Just something, that I could have shown to people in the future to say I was here in GW2 2012 Halloween and slayed the mad-king.
I can’t show off the 10 slot bag. I can craft bags with more slots so what reason do I have for using an item that can’t be used as a trophy for a memorable victory? It will just take up a bank slot, mocking me for not spending money on gem items.
Oh well, I am happy with the act 2 reward, Mad Memories: Complete Edition. Thank you Arena Net.
Is it possible that people are lying about the exotic drop and are just linking their already owned exotic?
Someone please confirm that the chests actually drops Halloween skinned items.
Gonna run AtM again with my alts. Wish me luck.
