Vipers has power and condi as mainstats instant of precision and condi from wanderer so you cant rly compare them with that.
Just find out that we got a new stat combi for condi based builds “Viper”.
Anyone done the math with one offers better results (single or aoe), for the current condi builds?
And btw. with the overall condi duration nerfs would you get givers weapons now too?
If you just wanna play in the usual open world or go in casual dungeons runs it dosn’t rly matter what you play, but if you considering to run in more organized dungeons groups, who are trying to be effective as possible, you are more welcome if you have a Guard, Warrior or Elementalist, they pretty much the best class for dungeons groups (Thief and Mesmer still rly good in some dungeons for their unique utility).
At least … Necro is still very strong in WvW and PvP

1. Berserk always deal more DPS than a condi spec dosnt matter the class.
2. Necro dps is still on good medium stage.Problem is just he dont have any offensive, defensive or utility support, just decent single dps….
I do think the Necro has a lot of access to offensive support, and some access to defensive support. In fact, I think the Necro’s specialty is offensive support.
The necro even in Berzerk form can have access to blind, cripple, chill, weakness, and fear, all in dependable, AoE form; these are defensive suppport. In terms of defensive support through boons: has access to heals, regeneration, and the best teamwide condition cleanses / control — all possible in Berzerk form.
Necro offensive support is mostly cripple, immobilize, chill, fear — and tons and tons of dependable vulnerability.
I think a lot of people overlook the necro as a powerful support because most people are used to more obvious forms of support such as healing and boons. But support is just as effective in the form of disabling your opponents — if they can’t do anything, you don’t take any damage. I think the necro is the class that embodies the saying “The best defense is a powerful offense”.
offensive support: you shouln’t count cripple, immobilize, chill, fear as offensive support (PvE) and for vulnerability… there are other classes wich can deal them far better.
defensive support: necro isn’t the best team condi cleaner in the game, he just has a wall and the new trait for it (our signet sucks here).
Yeah necro may the best class for all no damage condi like chill, cripple, immobilize, fear, posion, and weakness, but sadly PvE dont need these…
And for the guy who said Warrior has the best dps …. no.. he doesn’t.

Its basically just a simple Pistol Whip Build like 6/6/0/0/2, but i think i will switch to Necro again, since i have a prober skill rotation and know some dirty tricks with them now, i get even faster with him.
Its mostly the same build i just switched “chilling darkness” with “weakening shroud” and a other sigil. Now i kill him with necro in 11-13 sec (5 Gambits).
With Thief i need 24-26 sec (4 gambits) for a entire round (with activate gambit and stuff).
With Necro i need 26-30 (5 gambits) for a entire round.
So yeah, i get more with Necro, otherwise i can farm brainafk with thief more easily (just spam 4-5 Pistol Whips).
Was using this build for farming with my Necro, before i switch to thief, i used this if i could farm solo so no long cd in this build.
I belive i killed him in 14-16 sec for 5 Gambits.
Farming with my thief now, 10 sec for 4 Gambits.

I test it again in heart of the mist with “Rune of the Water” (5 % less boon duration) against the indestructible target golem, i stick with around 18-22 might stacks, without using “Whirlwind Attack” (against a wall maybe 3 mights) and “For Great Justice” (3 long mights and 2 shorter mights stacks).

im not talking about WvW here, but i think the willl nerv something about Runes of Strength at some time, they are just whay to ahead from most of the other runes (mostly the Bonus 4 from the Rune is to strong in PvP)
Dont know why all still wasting nearly 100 Gold for Runes of Strength…
I still can use my Runes of the Scholar while easly maintain 22-25 stacks might for my party in pretty much every dungeon/fraktal. For a boss with much movment or no wall you could use Battle Standard (10 stacks might) too. You just need some tasty Chocolate Omnomberry Cream
Comparing this with Runes of Strength and some casual food like Plate of Truffle Steak you losing:
+45 % might duration
+7% damage (always)
+100 power
but with Runes of the Scholar and Chocolate Omnomberry Cream you would get:
+20% boon duration
+10% damage (not always up)
+100 Ferocity
+40% magic find while under the effect of a boon (a bit selfish but hey…)
This should be nerly the same for you and your party (maybe even better).
Dont underestimate “boon duration” it not just increasing might but fury, swiftness and vigor too (almost 100 % furry uptime with a secound War).
And yeah here is a Phalanx Strength Build
Can we have a red post about that?
