I have been running this build for about 3 days now in wvw and I like it. About four of the accessory areas have knights for precision since I dont have any badges left for now.

I was thinking of changing out the soldier crests in the armor for +90p and 60% might duration and try working some traits around for BIP lowered duration. Do you think this would be a good tradeoff?

How do you play your necromancer?

I also tried a large number of might stacking/duration alternatives for power and for conditions… just doesn’t work good enough. Don’t waste 50-70g to try this.

Are you saying its useless to try a hybrid? Just curious cause I was thinking of sinking some gold into it.

The ultimate necromancer dmg-hybrid(tutorial)

I am really interested in trying a form of this build in wvw.
The type of build you choose I would imagine you would utilize its form differentely in wvw . For instance, there are several ways of helping your server achieve victory as a necro. A power build with max 600 range can be used as a dolyak escort, killing dolyaks to starve castles, and soloing camps. The condition build can be used more towards walls, doors and separating crowds.

WvW ConditionMancer advice

Alkaline.2809

My advice would be to go to the Hearth of the Mist and practice with a bunch of setup ups with the free gear to see what you like before you invest into your gear. Check out top thread and see what others builds people are using. Also there are good videos from nemesis and few others in here explaining things pretty good.

Fun things I like to do in wvw is pull people off walls then stun them with dagger and watch the horde of people beat the hell out of them.

Worst necro class in any MMO...ever wvw

Wait you say you dont play pvp much but your telling him to learn to play. Your trolling now so move along.

The one thing I do enjoy fastcar in wvw is aoe off buildings. Plus I will spectral walk out of the gate and throw aoe all over then recall myself.

When I play my mesmer there is a big difference in diversity and utility compared to this class.

Thing to take away from this post for me is I am not the only old fart left that has been around since everquest playing games.

The necro does need some help.

Although I give Anet a hard time in necro forum. I think they did a great job with the wintersday events. The jumping puzzle may suck because I can not complete it but the work involved in making it is quite nice.

Keep up the great work guys.

BTW I like the screeching dolls. Its kind of eerie and would be great for halloween.

The first build is what I have been trying out in wvw with a mix of knights/pvp gear with knight orbs. I might change the orbs for condition damage.

There are several things I am getting frustrated with but this is not one of them. This snowball mayhem was really fun for me. I only wish we could have something snowy like this in wvw like wows arctic valley map.

On necros being "broken"

in Necromancer

Posted by: Alkaline.2809

Alkaline.2809

I played necro pvp since the game came out and just recently leveled up a mesmer to 80. To me it was like night and day. Necro to me was so dull and boring. Nothing really fun with the class that really stood out. I will not go through the list of problems since so many have done so.

When I played pve with the necro I felt they were equal to any other class.

When I took up the mesmer I first read the forums to find out which was the worst weapon so I can start out with it. Ironic that the scepter/focus was what I chosen and am having a blast. Just beating the tar out of people in pvp with the setup. When I beat a necro I make sure I don’t finish them off if soloing cause I feel for them.

My Own Necro Emote

Posted by: Alkaline.2809

Dear Anet,

I would like to ask for a personalized necro emote phrase that flashes everytime I kill someone in wvw. I was thinking of a phrases like;

“Yes you just got spanked by a necro”

“Hi would you like to take that necro beating in a paper bag to go”

Should i roll a Necro?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Alkaline.2809

Alkaline.2809

Roll a warrior. it does a better job than us powermancers.
Roll a mesmer. It bleeds better than our conditionmancers and causes headaches. plus it has portal, time warp, and awesome phantasms that can perform nasty favors on your character and all your friends.

I tried the mesmer and the first thing I noticed different was how cool the staff would bounce back to me and give me boons. The necro on the other hand would fly pass my target and kill squirrels out of trees.

If its worth it is really up to your play style. I am pretty unhappy with the class. To me its really dull and there is not many fun skills or weapon choices I can say that I am wow over.

I started an elementalist yesterday and I am actually having fun. So many cool skills with sparkles that I find entertaining.

I guess you will also have to look at it like does the amount of heal the thief returns = a necro second life bar in DS.

Not Understanding Corrupt Boon

in Necromancer

Posted by: Alkaline.2809

Alkaline.2809

In pvp players will put boons (buffs) on themselves. When you use corrupt boon it changes all those boons into conditions. It works the same on creatures but I dont really remember seeing any until I got to 80 and was on the island Ruins of Ore.

Hey Hufflepuffer i enjoyed your video. Which armor are you using in this power build?

Also I tend to lose allot in one on one when the enemy hits me first with a stun then bursts. Do you have any tips on what you do in this situation.

Well I am not one to defend kaineng since I enjoy killing them but if you notice in this picture that when they attack something they really do it with style. Notice those several big blue boys.
