My poor necro has to truffle more to kill with his power build; however, my friends thief still hit 37k earlier today. Da frack

I seems like I’ll be switching to cavalier armor instead of knights. The loss of crit chance should hurt to much with deathly perception.

This crit dmg nerd really hurt my necro. I run zerker weapons and trinkets with knights armor. Before patch my life blast would do 3-4k more if I had might, now after patch I barely do 2k with life blast. I’m thinking maybe of going cavalier armor but idk if it will help

Yeah I’m trying to build a power setup that does dmg but makes me not so squishy. I tried dire condi but I hate the play style of condi because I feel it is slow and I am impatient I guess haha. I’m used to fast attacks and scepter swing is so slow. If anyone can help me with a power build like this then it would be cool.

Just wanted to ask for opinions on soldier stats for wvw roaming?

Would a full soldier set up be viable for solo roaming as a necro?

Hello there necros. I come to you asking for help with my own necro.

he is lvl 80 but i havent the slightest clue what to do about his armor.

i used to play him alot but i currently play a ranger. i am thinking of coming back to the necro but the problem is he has no armor.

im looking for something that is power based, good for wvw solo roam/small group/zerg

he currently has most full ascended zerker trinkets just no armor or weapons.

also what trait set up would be good for what im seeking?

Hello fellow rangers! We’ll I’m typing this post today to ask for some tips regarding pvp vs a warrior.

I’m running a full apothecary regen condi build. My traits atm are 30/0/30/10/0

Well yesterday I was doing my usual thing; roaming in wvw, when I came across a condi warrior. The warrior from what I can tell ran heal signet, and those 2 shouts that make them immune to things.

The fights were longish due to our healing but I did manage to get him very low in hp. The problem is, every time he got low he would run away using his elite to get far enough to switch to a gs and use vs to run further away.

We fought many times and each time he would run when he was low. He did eventually kill me due to some weird issue I had where I couldn’t move, dodge use skills, or anything (wasn’t stunned or dazed).

The problem I have is how to prevent him from running away so that I can finish the warrior off?

If any tips can be provided that would be cool so that I can prevent getting whispers by people like him claiming I’m a bad player.

Also I use sword/torch and axe/dagger

I would move out MM into BM or NM for the build/gear you’re using, cond duration is not worth the 30 in mm especially in pvp or against a War. They have movement traits like Mobile strikes, cleansing ire, shake it off, etc.. Hard to do much against a War built for escape.

Some pretty great BM builds out there that make use of the gear you’re rolling in, for example picking up Intimidation Training+malicious training+canines. Also can look towards Shout/regen builds too.

“If any tips can be provided that would be cool so that I can prevent getting whispers by people like him claiming I’m a bad player.”

don’t let that get to you, it’s coming from a Warrior after all. =)

What would one of those bm builds look like? I see those training traits in different lines so I’m trying to figure it out

Just wanted to bring this up but has anyone tried sword and offhand axe with this kind of build? I’ve been trying it out and I have had some interesting things happen. For example a 1v1 with a thief who knew in put traps under my feet, but then I used path of scars and pulled him into the traps when he was staying away from me.

Links are the same. There is nothing different in the traits in both links

1. Change of accessories, the ascended version that I put up there is easy to get (if you spend a little time doing fractals, you will get what you need).
2. Off hand training son!
3. I suggest to test your survivability using Empathic Bond vs Bark Skin, get into a number of 1 vs 1 or 5 vs 5 and see how it goes. I personally prefer Bark Skin as it overall allows me to survive longer, you can always run signet of renewal and drop a trap for that matter. If this doesn’t seem straight forward for you, shake your fist up in the air and yell WHY ANet!

That is a lot more condi dmg and a little more crit rate but is 345 healing power even enough for this regen condi build? Seems a little low to me

The whale would be OP lol it would swallow everything

Quick question, since my crit rate with this build isn’t very good, would it be a waste to buy a sigil of tormenting? Or should I get a sigil or accuracy and a tormenting one to boost my crit rate to apply torment?

Cufufalating.8479:

Lol^^ Never really noticed because until recently I only played ranger.

I play mesmer now too but people dont tend to run away from me there either.. maybe its because I am only WvW rank 15 or something. I know WvW rank doesnt really show skill in any way, but it does at least show experience to some degree and people do naturally expect more from a Silver Champion than a regular Assulter which is what my mesmer is.

Yeah I don’t get why some people think just because my rank is low or really high then that shows how good I am. Lol no it just shows which character I played longer

Seems the opposite for me lately. Every time I’m out solo roaming and come upon a target they just run wp.

I main a ranger so I’m sure I’m not wanted in fractals, not that I’m much of a pver or dungeon goer anyway.

After a few days of playing this build I wanna say that while it is fun and I haven’t lost a 1v1 yet, I feel like I am not applying enough condition. Or maybe it’s just they aren’t lasting very long? Anyone can help me out because I noticed I only get up to like 11 stacks of bleed then it goes away pretty fast. Also maybe I’m not using the trap correctly? What I have been doing is trying to place the traps on top of the target and I don’t really hit them with it a lot of the times.

Just wanted to say that after hitting 80 yesterday and trying out this build in wvw, I am very happy! Not many chances for solo roaming fights in my math up but the fights I did have, I won them both! First fight was 2v1 with a condition engi and a guardian, second was with a power necro. Ranger is a very fun class!

Just hit 80 and I want the sylvari cultural tier 3 weapon skins. In total I need 195000 karma but I only have 42000. How can I get more karma fairly quickly?

Cool thanks for the feed back

Hello everyone. My ranger is almost lvl 80(8 levels to go) and I wanted to playa. Trapper build for wvw roaming/group stuff. I made this build after I gotten some suggestions from a ranger from my server but I’m not 100% fully confident if it’s ok.

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQRAsf3YjAVx11VuVo2Bi2DN1fMxewfH9IXhRVyoqA-jUyAItBRTBCE1AkOAnHLiGbdrIasaGM1KRUtXpIa1CB8YOA-w

If you guys could look it over and give suggestions of changes and stuff that would be amazing. Thank you in advanced.

I believe he is talking about the new heals. I could be wrong tho

I agree. For now at least. Will wait to see it for myself in game. And not on a YouTube video.

Thanks for the replies. Was curious about life stealing I see it isn’t worth it. Even the new heal does seem to make it worth it either.

So many hackers on ET. Sheesh just phone home already.

We’ll I’ve been curious about using a vamp build and I was wondering if anyone has ever fully tried it? Like what I mean is by using healing power gear?

If so, what would be better clerics or maybe magi?

How well does the life steal scale by?

Is it worth it to invest for healing power gear?

Thanks for the feed back.

@snailbaiting I thought anet changed that sigil to not work with fear

How about they slow us to use underwater weapons on land. I’d like to use a spear on land. Could be a good power wep.

I would rather have spear work on land. It’s already in game, they just need to make it available on land with land abilities.

Hello, my name is Aevis and I am a powermancer.

I am wanting to go conditions for small group play in wvw.

I used to play conditions when I first started my necromancer but switched over to power when I was an early lvl 80.

I know a little bit about condi necro but not to much.

I made this build based off of what I think May be good.

Please look it over and give me feedback. Thank you.

Hello, I have an lvl80 ranger that I recently started playing again. I left him naked for a long time and I forgotten how to play it. I’m looking for a longbow and greatsword build for wvw. I’m used to solo roaming on my power necro so maybe a roaming build?

Also since he was naked I went ahead and bought him some exotic knights armor and some zerker weps. So maybe a build that works with that. Really wanna play him again.

personally i would like offhand dagger #5 to be something that applies torment. the condi transfer is good i wouldnt change that, but idk id like more torment instead of just ds #5

I don’t get why you people say rangers are bad right now. I have fought plenty rangers in wvw 1v1 or in group fight and they were pretty tough to take down. Just yesterday before the patch I fought this spirit ranger, dude murdered me. Even if I killed his spiris he just brought them back. He also healed like a mother with that troll heal thing.

Maybe rangers who say they are bad just need to learn to play.

My necromancer Aevis Belasko

Just curious here but I was wondering where all my fellow GoM went? O.o

Seems like no one is defending our bl this match up. We haven’t had wp all day o.O

Why are we doing so bad this week? We were doing so well these past months. What happened?

Hey fellow power necromancers! Was wondering what everyone thinks about the new assassin stat? Similar to zerker but less power and more precision. Was thinking of switching my zerker wraps to assassin ones but I want some input on it.

Noss.4105:

What weapons are you using? I pretty much always use staff as my off-weapon. Putrid Mark is just amazing to get rid of condis.

I’d throw in some vitality on your gear to get some buffer, but that’s just me.

I was using d/f and staff at the time. I used to use d/d staff.

Aevis.4632:

1v1 is all I do in wvw mostly. Unless the groups need help. I mostly win all my 1v1 so I don’t know what you mean power necro is supposed to die 1v1.

Idk I guess I can go back to using d/d, staff. Also I use knights armor so my toughness isn’t super low. I’m not a tank but I’m not glass either. Tho I do have 81% crit dmg with 50% crit chance.

I know we have the same amount of fears but hers last like 2-3 sec. I guess that’s dude to master of terror and I guess condi duration runes and food.

Idk maybe ill try condi necro but I hate using builds everyone else uses. Seems like most necro these days are condi and its quite annoying lol.

post your build and gear so we know what you are working with, traits, weps and utils.

I go back and forth between a power build and condi build often so I can probably offer some tips that might help.

lately I have been using rare pizza on my power build too so my non damaging condis last long enough to take the pressure off a bit more and I have gotten used to the longer fears now from my condi build.

also did he 1v5 you guys or did he have help?

I find lately ALL fears get blamed on necros when many are coming from thieves who have alot more necros to steal from and warriors as well carrying fear me.

I use knights armor with ruby orbs. Zerker weapons. I have 3 ascended zerker trinkets and 2 exotic knights accessories but am aiming for ascended knights.

My traits are 30/10/0/0/30. The utilities I use are spectral armor, signet of the locust, and well of suffering. Consume conditions for heal.

When she killed 5 of us it was 1 after the other. Sometimes 2 v her. In total it was 5 but there wasn’t a big gap between the arrival of the next person.

Thanks dranor. Ill try out plague signet. I have actually never used it before

1v1 is all I do in wvw mostly. Unless the groups need help. I mostly win all my 1v1 so I don’t know what you mean power necro is supposed to die 1v1.

Idk I guess I can go back to using d/d, staff. Also I use knights armor so my toughness isn’t super low. I’m not a tank but I’m not glass either. Tho I do have 81% crit dmg with 50% crit chance.

Faxed a condo necro in wvw today. Not sure what traits she was running but I think it was 30/20/0/0/20. I’m a power necro and I’m pretty decent. Thing is this condi necro was dropping is like flies in our bl. 5 guys went for her and she killed us in a few sec. I know she used epidemic, and signet of locust and spectral armor.

I have a few questions.

1. How was she able to generate life force so quickly? I fought her 1v1 and I melted her life force but after she did her chains she was in ds with full life force.

2. What can I do as a power necro to deal with all the conditions and fears? Everyone she fears I pop a stun breaker but then I get feared again for 2-3 sec.

Anyone can help me? Or is this a if you can’t beat them join them situation?

I’m a powermancer and I use the flesh golem in most of my fights. When it comes to thieves I go in to death shroud to take most of his dog and I use 5 then 4 while also using 3. I’ll throw in some life blasts then leave death shroud and use golem knockdown while using dagger 3. I’ll auto attack from there but will use dagger 2 to get some life back if I’m damaged.

I run 30/10/0/0/30 with knights armor with ruby orbs, zerker daggers, and zerker and knights ascended trinkets. Not very squishy especially in death shroud, and I also hit pretty hard. Unless my target is very tanky. Thieves I do have some complications with but I can get them dead most of the time, unless they run away

Tried it. The TP loads up in French but when I put it back to English it doesn’t load up

Tried again but this time I changed it to all the languages then put it back to English. TP now loads up

Thanks ill try that

TP isn’t loading for me. Can’t buy or sell or look at gem store. When I click the tabs in gem store I get error invalid authorization.

It’s been 2 days and my TP isn’t loading up. I cannot sell or buy things or see the gem store. I’ve tried relogging but it doesn’t fix it. The only thing I was able to do was pick up gold I had waiting for me.

I think the radiant vambracers are cursed! Beware those who choose the glowy arms!

Yeah I’ve completed all my story line quests. I started doing explorer achievements and trying to max out crafting. I seen max crafting gives 40 achievement points so ill try to do those. I’m now at 4,402 points. Only 98 points to go for that tasty chest!

Aloha! I don’t know if this has been discussed before, I’ve searched forums but haven’t found anything. So I only have 4,kitten achievement points, which is kinda low but that’s because I only do wvw really. So my question is can anyone give some tips on easy achievement points? I just seen that 5k reward chest and it looks very tasty.
