I did plan on making another vid, same as on the reaper, but sadly our matchup was/is ppt-heavy and very poor on the roaming aspect.
Will do more vids once the addon hits.
One thing i will definitely change is switching to cleansing sigils on both weaponsets.
Got killed by one burning guard burst yesterday right after i switched to shiro, no additional damage or cover condis, 9 burning stacks took me from 90→0%
The first fight was kinda shortly after playing the class for the first time, so yeah, l2p issue, it got better throughout the weekend i think.
Was a fun fight nontheless, so i put it in.
Thx for the constructive feedback!
Played reaper exclusivly for the past 2 bwe’s, now i tried the revenant for smallscale-/solo-roaming for the first time and i had a blast.
Especially the duo-fights with a druid-buddy felt amazing, tons of damage and survivability.
Since the skilleditor is not up to date, in retribution i used the weakness trait instead of redeeming protection and in devastation assassins presence instead of ferocious strikes.
2. substain build with different ways of active condi removal (every weapon- and legend swap and if you time your heals, every heal as well thx to the buff-food.
Doomfire: yeah, maybe, but id rather have almost everything critting in shroud, since often you cant hit with autoattack constantly.
Might change to df once HoT hits and im running everything ascended instead of exotic.
The GS: yeah, i still dont know about it. I tried full power, but i felt it was lacking survivability when fighting outmanned/getting focused in groupfights.
Second video up, thats gonna be it for this weekend.
Again, some roaming clips and duels against quality players, different classes than in the first video.
Woops, didnt think about the strength sigil, played geomancy/hydromancy on both weapon-sets all weekend.
Gonna go double strength/hydromancy for the next beta then.
Always forget to record, so i streamed a bit and highlighted some fights.
Dont expect flawless gameplay or amazing skill, but since ive never had so much fun on my necro i thought id share it
Build is full cele (tested valkyrie armor+zerker weapons+trinkets, works just as fine in 1v1, but survivability takes a hit in grp-/outmanned-fights) with strength-runes, hydromancy+geomancy sigils on both weapons.
Spite: III, I, I
Soulreaping; II, II, II
Reaper: III, II, I
Point is:
During the day, evening and “normal eu-primetime” you have the coverage of a lower-silver-league-/upper-bronze-league-server, at best.
Thats what makes you so super boring to fight against and hence the complaints.
Yet your t1-worty latenight-/night-capping between 23pm till maybe 4am keeps you in a place where you dont belong imho.
And thats why ppl will always hate to play against BB and flame you.
In before “this is a cultural thing, we eat at midnight and go to bed at 4am since we can sleep till noon as we only have to work for a bunch of hours in the afternoon blablabla”
One of my buddies is playing with the built-in intel thing due to a broken gpu and even he has still the same 40-50fps while im down from 60 to under 30fps without any ppl being around.
So cant be that either, esp. the open-inventory eating tons of fps is the best indicator that something is rly wrong.
Tested both now, 4/0/6/0/4 as well, but im gonna stick with 0/4/6/0/4.
Roaming as duo/trio mostly and for us the traited gs-cd`s and triple stance with vigorous focus are way better for all the chasing and blob surfing that we encounter during our roaming sessions.
Since when do the same sigils on different weapon-sets use an own internal cd and dont share the same icd?
That would be news to me.
edit Just tested it with 2 battle sigils, just to be 100% sure, if you switch weapons on cd, which happens alot, you only get the 3 mightstacks on every second swap, just as you should.
There is no internal cd for sigil #1 and another one for sigil #2, they share the cd.
I like having air+fire sigil on the gs, as you want to squeeze out as much dmg out of a whirlwind as you can.
The one thing i would change in your build is switch DotE for mobile strikes, since youre not running hoelbrak+lemongrass.
Otherwise its fine.
There is no perma burning if ppl dont stay in your fire field.
Why would they, its not tPVP?
Maybe only tPVP-heroes will stay in the field because theyre so used to stay on point.
Now we can’t activate it WITHOUT an ally nearby, thus nixing some of that sustain it previously provided BUT giving us a shadow step IF allies are in range.
Im pretty sure the showed in the stream, that you can still use the skill.
So if you missclick, you will still get heal and fury, but not the port.
This bug exists forever now, same goes for the vampirism runes.
Whenever an armor piece gets damaged you have to unequip and reequip every armor piece to make the 4-piece-bonus work again.
Since the new lifeleech+condi duration got introduced, id like to combine that with these runes, its just annoying big time to do the reequipping all the time in wvw.
Without watching the video, why scavenger runes?
Tried them,but theyre still bugged (4th piece bonus doesnt work each time one of the pieces gets damaged, have to un- and reequip everything everytime to make it work again)
“Roaming”-Video with a build with 0 mobility and 0 condi removal.
Wonder why i’ve never met you (piken faced bb 3 times in the last month) when im roaming almost on a daily basis.
But awesome killsh..i mean eviscerate montage.
My “favorite” condi build, playing this when im too annoyed by pu-mesmers.
You dont need rabid gear, you dont need crit at all, its way more important to hit with torment and keep burning on your target.
Well, i was the one telling the “you were probably playing 0/4/4/0/6 terrormancer with foot in the grave” phrase, but guess what, i asked him for a proper 1v1 after he loaded me up with condis while i was watching duels along some other spectators and was writing.
And he denied that, telling me i will only get a 1v1 if i can tell his build…
Would love to see some fights with this build against condi roamers that know what they are doing.
0 minus condi duration, 0 condi removal, i cant imagine running something like this
Quite boring matchup, nobody have balls for 1v1. Especially dzagonur …
So far I met a guild couple and we had some pretty long 2v2 fights. :-)
Yep, hello there! Were nice fights.
Holiday TDA now on Arborstone for the 2 final matchups of the league.
We also had a 1v1 if i remember correctly, until 4 Surmias rolled over me.
Frou video spam time! Our drunken reset and hangoverish Saturday roaming http://youtu.be/TK6Sj_BeA1k features IX, NPC, Imp, BNF and BaN & some random duderos and dudettes. Thanksu guys ’n gals, was funzors. Mayhaps we will meet again in the future, till then.. Ciao chiquitas!
Come back soon plox. Tried to find you so we could fight again but other than when the two of us were at that tower lord we didn’t see you. We were hoping for a 5v5 or something until Nubu told us you’re only 3
We really wanted and tried to stay longer, but we need more action.
The fights against your roaming groups were quality ones, as promised.
The quantity was the problem. On saturday we were roaming for hours and met way more friendlies then opponents.
Well, sadly we won’t be here anymore next week. Our vacation tour will be taking us elsewhere :<
Why ???? You will miss the best fights of ur vacation …..
A little bit …… Blacktide would be the better choice for them .
Sounds to me like cowardice, scared to face Vabbi, don’t you agree Nubu?
A little bit …… Blacktide would be the better choice for them …..
We are actually considering to stay a bit longer on FoW, at least for the weekend.
Us moving on was simply because we want to squeeze as much action as possible out of this vacation, and not only during primetime.
Huh
I cant remember ruining any 1v1s, but if it happened, it was either by accident and for that i apologize, or it was against some guy with bad behavior (i.e. someone that teabagged us earlier)
And we are here with only 4 ppl on a little smallscale vacation and are not looking to ruin ppls fights/days, were just looking for fun/action.
Because its pretty safe to say that Gandara wont be the dominating server in the last 3 matchups, so queues hopefully wont be an issue.
Yesterday during the day we had a blast, playing with 2-4 ppl and getting almost nonstop fights for hours.
Cheers to the Dzagonur thiev/ranger duo whos guild name we couldnt pronounce and the guildless char engi, was awesome fun!
Uh, thought its only you with your 2nd acc too bad.
I think we met one of you mesmers yesterday, not sure though, was pretty drunk already by that time.
Anyway, we had awesome fights yesterday, thx to all BT and Dzago players who got smashed and who smashed us!
Yeah hes clearly vacating on the wrong server if stuff like that upsets him so much.
When i joined gandara in the summer, there was nothing but guild raids, ignoring towers and looking for fights.
And once in a while you saw a lonely commander with his 5-zerglings-entourage.
Good old times
