Guild Wars 2

I’m a WvW Guardian and only lvl through WvW. I play more of a support role as I work my way up to Altruistic healing. Is strength in numbers any good as a general buffer for everyone around you? Or is it simply a waste of time to pick? I plan on using mostly shouts and healing in combat.

Hello,

I’m pretty new to GW 2. At first i thought I should stack vitality and toughness with regards to gear but now I am not so sure. I level my guardian through PvE and WvW and am looking for some advice on what to stack. Do I do toughness and vital along with power or focus on power or what? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Good group of people. Nobody is a communist on this server. I enjoyed playing with all of these guys. Sadly, GW2 gets old for meafter a while and truly lacks the end game content that other MMO’s have. If you want to play with a good group of people than this is the place. You have to get on comms though to truly experience the community.

Mainly a WvW player. Most of my gear is in the 65 range with a 74 level legendary weapon. I am a long range power Necro. What is the best option I have in terms of upgrading all my gear/weapons to lvl 80? Do I buy from trading post or use karma points and where should I use them?

Sorry for the noob questions. I work 60 hours a week and tend to be willfully ignorant about this kind of stuff?

Right. So past the blood fiend, I realize that was a mistake. Do you consider this build to be pretty solid? it’s more about survivability and being able to dish out damage from range and use your speed to dictate and be in control of the situation. Believe it or not the GTFO factor is very nice to have and causes less frustration.

This build is not about dishing out damage. It’s about avoiding repair costs, being able to level, and yet being able to contribute from range. I don’t like epidemic. It’s not my play style. This build however is.

Has anyone noticed what a full MM build can do in 1 on 1 situations? It appears tokittenface. Or maybe I have just been getting lucky?

woops! What skill do you recommend then for a quick burst of health? For WvW I agree but for PvE it is useful due to it beign another distraction in order to kite…

Not really. It allows for a critical stun/knock down to take place which results in easier/more kills….. learn to play and use it correctly.

Best move:

Spectral walk to enemies, shoot off well, click spectral walk again and get safe. Watch the XP rack up.

This is my build that I have used since level 40 and I like it a lot. This build allows you to farm WvW as well as not spending tons of money on repairs due to the high survivability rate. It also performs well in PvE. This is a long range build that mainly uses the Staff. How can I improve this build? My spectral walk, signet, and DS are all for GTFO situations or other sticky situations. Thoughts?

The Long range necro build does really well in WvW. I like the Necro at long range. Mid range sucks, and the dagger build isn’t my play style so I cannot comment on it. I focus on survivability more than damage and can be a thorn in anyones side.

Hey Guys,

So I finally found a Necro fit that I enjoy based on my play style. Here it is:

http://en.gw2codex.com/build/18453-long-range-necro

Mind you the final trait in the first tree that causes axe damage is supposed to be the one that causes 50% more damage when health is below 25%.

The game plan is to basically stay at range and then dish out your marks and well while cycling through the targets and looking for targets of lower health in order to finish them off more quickly.

I know you probaly notice that 2 of my skills are speed/survivability skills but the spectral walk, 10% passive speed, and the death shroud leads to great survivability in tight situations.

Is this an awesome damage build? No. Does it fit my play style? Yes it does. I like to stay back and watch the fights develop and then dish out damage from far away and this also gives me the ability to kite. I like my speed and based on other MMO’s I play speed kills and it has always been that way.

Again, I’m not stating that this is the ultimate class. But based on my play style this is the build that I love and have a lot of fun playing it as well as rarely die. Any feed back would be welcome. Whether it be advice to critique. Again please ignore that axe skills it is supposed to be the damage skill where your health is below a certain level in the spite tree.

I have been playing your build. it’s the best of the necro builds that I have played with. However with that being said, it doesn’t measure up to the other classes. It’s not your build it’s the overall mechanics or lack there of that the necromancer possesses. This is supposed to be a class that spawns minions and should be built around that. However, it is far from it.

Sadly this build is still weak. when you scale it to others. Let’s face it, we chose the wrong class or nobody has figured out how to play it correctly yet…

So this class is in fact weak then? I was going by the fact that I just suck and do not understand what the proper rotations are…

Hello,

I’m not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Maybe my rotations are off. Maybe I am not stacking the correct stats?

Normal rotation: Signal of spite, epidemic, main sceptor ability, and then fast of corruption.

Still it appears to be weak. Especially in WvW. I am stacking condition and precision and always get owned. Am I stacking the wrong things and going about this wrong by having fast signal of spite recharge rates and longer bleed durations?

Is the minion master route a more viable option and kiting until you kill an opponent while staying at range and keep throwing minions at them and beef up their damage and HP? Is this the best way to play the Necro? I realize that the minion damage does not stack as you level but it’s damage is applied through the branches.

However, aside from being able to spread conditions across several targets this class appears to either be worthless or I just suck. What am I doing wrong? I was under the impression that you are supposed to apply as many conditions as possible and then hit feats of corruption for the nuke?

Well it’s not a nuke. I am banking on me being a horrible player however I’m not exactly sure. What are your rotations and it MM the more viable route for pvp?

Hello,

I’m looking for an active guild on the Maguuma server. I am a lvl 43 Necro, am 28 years old, and am US EST. I’m looking to play with players around my age. Please send me a private message if interested and then we can arrange a meeting.

Thanks,
