my hybrid build. uses celestial armor and ramp accessories. used ramp armor while crafting celestial.
Cool someone else that uses a build close to mine.This is my build I use,it’s missing the back cause they don’t have it update with Celestial back.With it on i’m at 70% crit DMG and 40% crit,without fury buff.
I don’t want them to mess up anything else in the game.It isn’t fun waiting around to fight a dragon I have been killing for a year now,only to be put in to a overflow server that can’t even get him to 90%.
Why are people saying torch is fitting. Its not. In lore necro has always been about death and ice. Burning was something they added which didnt really fit the flavour of the class. Now that we have it everyone thinks its ok to have a torch. Even if the torch doesnt have burn on it I still dont think it fits. It can be made to fit but thats the same for every weapon.
Im with you,Necros don’t use fire so Torch would be just dumb,also we don’t need anymore off hand weapons
Necros have 0 weapons that cleave,so we need one badly.
I love these new runes,I was full divinity before I made the change.What I’m happy about the most,is I can now take off Locust Sig and use something more useful.
ascended gear is the biggest lie anet does.. they dont know that they gonna destroy the game with it… i see it coming that ppl gonna leave because of it.. already 5 ppl i know said when more ascended comes into the game they gonna quit.. i mean anet shouldnt forget that this year elder scrolls online comes out.. ppl who start to play it will never come back to gw2 because other ppl have way better gear then them and tehy are miles behind
I am in the TESO beta and I can tell you this,it wont happen.TESO is the SWToR of 2013.
I understand what you’re doing, I’m just trying to work out for myself what the pros and cons of your full Celestial are relative to PVT for a tanking / power type build.
The arguments about spiking are sort of a two-way street; in Celestial you get more spike, but you get spiked more easily. For me it seems that at 20 might stacks, the effective power of full Celestial is about 18% better than that of PVT, you’re giving up power for health at a 1:1 ratio, and I’d argue that Celestial might be a better choice in that case because of the intangibles.
In general, I think what I’ve always heard (and what I thought) is that Celestial is not as solid as other options, because you’re spread too thin across stats. Maybe that’s not as true as I thought. As a final comment, I wonder if comparing Celestial vs PVT is the right thing to do. Possibly the comparison should be against some combination of Carrion + PVT, or PVT + Rampager’s, or something like that.
People that have Celestial love it,people that never used it say its bad.
You left out the main reason why Celestial is nice Crit DMG.
That build isn’t made to run with PvT,it wouldn’t work out to well .You want at lest 3k power with PvT if you want to do DMG.
So I thought about this comment for a little while. I imagine that what you’re thinking is terror and bleeds and the 50% crit trait in SR. I don’t have much to say about terror except that at 700ish condi damage you’re getting like 475 damage a tick, at the opportunity cost of a 20 point trait in SR and an additional 10 points in curses relative to going 30 in spite.
In DS, after the 50% gain in crit chance, the effective power of celestial vs PVT would be
In this case, you give up 18% of your effective health for a 13% gain in power, relative to PVT. Maybe the intangibles of the build make up for the extra loss in effective health, maybe not.
At the start of the fight my Condi damage dmg is over 1200 and my power is around 2700.I’m not going for DPS with this build,I want spike DMG.When you get hit for a 5-7k Life Blast,then a 1k+ terror and a 3500 Flame Blast your HP will drop.You time the fear so it hits soon as the Life Blast hits and it will always crit in DS.
I have full sets of both gear and been a PvT necro from day one.I know PvT Necros are good.The build I use is for my play style.I never said it was the best Necro build or it would make people OP if they use it,I only posted it cause TheTankSnake wanted to see what it was.
what do u thing about my build tho is it a good tanky build or not? and should i change my slot skills, i want to perfect this before i run with it XD
Your build looks fine,but your DMG is going to be a little low,the only way I got my Tank Necro to do good DMG was to have 3k Power.If you fight Zerkers they will still drop,but most people in WvW don’t run Full Zerker other then Thief’s.
This is what my new and old builds look like(didn’t want to post two times)
I use to run a Tank build,it was fun to play.I could just stand there and laugh at Thief’s but the DMG was just ok and took to long to kill anyone.
Stats were
32k HP
3k Power
2200 Toughness.
Then Celestial armor came out,along with the changes to DS.I made the change and a new build to fit the stats.I can still Tank like before in DS but now can do crazy DMG.It’s funny when a Thief pops out now,I fear him then 2 shot him.
Stats are Unbuffed — Buffed
25600 HP
2106 Power — 2631 Power
1500 Toughness
100% Crit DMG
40% crit
560 Condi DMG -- 1083 Condi DMG
660 Healing
My WvW is full of thieves so a build like this with low HP would just die in the first burst,I run with 2700 power,2100 Toughness and 32-33k HP and its funny when the blow all their initiative trying to burst me.
