Guild Wars 2

Hmm, I’ve been rocking the juggermancer build and set of armor and seem to do fine, I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything I was missing.

What is the standard necro build right now for PvE/FoTM. I’m trying to seriously advance in FoTM, so I want to be as usefull as possible.

Dundle, very interesting! What power build are you using with this?

I’m using the Deathhammer build.. I think that’s what it’s called.. And the added toughness gives me incredible survivability and I can have fury for 3 seconds every 10 seconds with that build.

What do you mean by items don’t come with jewels?

@Panhauramix, ah I see I see, but I do love the added toughness. I’m looking to maybe get 30% crit so when I have fury I have 50% crit chance.

Temple of Balthazar has all of the rings, jewels, and backpack for 42k karma a piece. Idk if I am going to get the armor because I am happy with where I am at now honestly, very decent HP pool, very tanky, and I pack a punch,

I have been playing my necro for awhile now and I’ve just come across karma vendors with Power Toughness Crit damage gear, and I’m just curious.. but why is nobody using this type of gear setup?

I’ve been messing around with soldier gear from AC and such and the jewels were becoming a pain to get, so when I found the exotic power/tough/crit jewels, I gave em a shot.

I’ve had them for over a week now and let me tell you.. I’ve been trying to keep my crit percentage around 20% and use the fury from entering DS to do big burst, and the numbers I’m seeing are amazing.

I hit for 2k, 2k, 4k with my dagger and it’s just annihilating people. I’m actually really tanky because I am wearing full solider gear socketed with crest of the soldier, power tough crit ammy, accessories, and back piece, and zerker weps+rings. I have roughly 23.5k hp 23% crit(I’d have to double check that) and over 40% crit damage.

So I’m just curious.. why is nobody trying this in their builds?

I love static discharge build for PvE, WvWvW, AND sPvP. I never have to change my build, it’s awesome.

I’ve been playing an Engineer since launch and I never had problems with killing mobs. Ever. Our DPS is amazing, and not to be a kitten or anything, but you’re probably just doing it wrong, or you suck. Try finding a new build, or actually tinkering with your skills.

If this is true, I love it. I love playing the under-represented class!

Veryyy cool idea, I love the thought of it a lot!

I do NOT think the Engineer needs an overhaul. I just think Anet needs to address some bug issues and maybe tweek the damage scaling of some abilities. But overall I’m very happy with the Engineer. It’s a blast to play in all forms of the game and I’m very happy I decided to roll with the Engineer.
