Guild Wars 2

Anzu.5702:

Awesome video! Some great fights and you handle the engi really well! Really enjoyed that, and good music too. Balthazar looks like a lot of fun.

Our builds are very similar except I usually switch between Rifled Barrels and Hair Trigger. And I use perplexity as it was soo much fun before the nerf :P. And T1 NA is always 1vx, so need all the advantages you can get.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdQQJAqelUUpvr9ZxkLseRCbBNqxAqOI6N2xq8xGEAA-T1yCABAcgAeRLBWK3u4BAcpaALv/gnq+koSQ90BklSipPBABAQAmZAwRP6RP6RPazcmHdmHdmlCAm5AA-w

Yea, I too switch between those, still can’t decide which one I like more :/
and unfortunately I just spend 70g on perpex runes for my terrormancer :P, so I’m sticking to balthazar for another little while…

KaporHabakuk.6219:

It seems like IP proc did half the dmg :-).Reminds me,why i swaped to rifle+nade build.Still nice gameplay and was funn watching it

Haha, with balthazar runes burning will be the most damage, but with perplexity its gonna be confusion :P Currently also running cele rifle + nades with HGH, going to make a video of that soon

…isn’t as bad as you though.
But seriously, I tried it with 6/2/6/0/0 and carrion and it was quite powerful. I find it hard to compare to DPS, because they are so different, but IMO they are both viable… in their own ways…

I managed to rack up some condi guard footage and edit it into…. this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q72GAGtIDbw

I think condi guardian needs to be taken seriously, who knows, maybe in a few months…

alanis.6094:

Couple of questions:

1. Your build doesn’t seem to include Backpack Regenerator, but had this trait at least for some of the fights (definitely the opening fight). What did you drop for it, and is that something you take often?

2. What are the best ways you have found for handling the lack of stun breaker?

1. Yes I switch things up a lot. My build is always 4/2/0/4/2 and the last 2 points I either use backpack generator or short fuse. In the first clip I think I took short fuse and BR and dropped protection injection. It’s always a choice between those three. currently I run both PI and BR and dropped short fuse for some more sustainability.

2. Blinds and blocks. All kinds of CC will ruin your day in this build so as soon as I see a hammer warrior is coming at me I keep a close eye on him and use my blinds/blocks and own CC to keep him from stunning me.
It gets harder when they are ranged though… but at the end of the day you just gotta deal with it :/

- Part 2

- Part 1

Heyo everyone!
The only class I could stand to do WvW is, is with engineer because of perma swiftness and the ability to get away with rocket boots. So I tried my luck and didn’t die too much in WvW the other day.
I actually got quite some kills! I use a variation of koroshi’s bomb build and so far it has worked very well for me If anyone is interested, I made a quick montage with some nice plays that I got.

Build used:

Let me know what you think, and any feedback is appreciated

^Watch this, it might change your mind about not wanting shield. Anywho, the build in the vid pretty much has everything you asked for, but of course you still might want to switch some things around

Thanks everyone! More to come soon

To be honest I dont WvW with my guardian, only PvP. But i think this build should do just fine. Look at my earlier comment to see what I would change though.

TEAM DEATH MATCH VIDEO WITH THIS BUILD:
http://youtu.be/8Ha1-4zYJ3s

This build exels in courtyard map IMO. I got a lottaaa kills
The video is with a friend if mine who plays condi guard, and he’s pretty good!

Warlord of Chaos.7845:

Before I get to the feedback, I just want to say even though Chaos is a very good mesmer, just see this video of me beating the snot out of him, although it is outdated and im way better now lol. Its also the reason why he never uses gs anymore hehe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc9YefWH66M&list=UUprB53MrZxxIzQE6VIOn6Yg

Anyway, I see you have come back to the Mesmer world and started playing lockdown so I will give some advice
First thing was in your first clip, you played everything really well honestly and I don’t have anything to say.
Second clip. You were walking around and you didn’t charge your mantra which literally made me go crazy lol. It would have helped a ton against the thief.
Third clip. I think you could have let the warden spin a little longer before you shattered to get a little more dps. Otherwise well done.
Fourth clip. The second I see a rampage as one on ranger I immediately boon strip, if I am unable to remove it I mass invis and leave until the buffs are gone. The warrior also used all of his cds at the beginning as well so I think you should have mass invised immediately instead of stalling around. At around 1:50 I would have dodged mind wrack to remove the warriors stab/swiftness and then blinked to the point. Otherwise perfect execution on the warrior.
5th clip the enemy Mesmer was at 5% in downed state and you kept ressing, also dat portal.
6th clip. Your kiting was amazing but I think you tunneled on the warrior too much instead of the Mesmer focusing you the entire fight

The only thing I would recommend is try hydromancy sigil on your staff, its about a extra 1-2k burst and it actually feels impactful in fights. Very nice demonstration of CI mes, even though you followed in chaos’s footsteps of s/f staff rather then me with gs

Thanks for all the advise Warlock!
1. Yes, I’m not used to ‘charging’ utilities so I often forget >.>
2. Yes, I have a tendency to shatter immediately… but I’ll get over it
3. lol, yes that rez/portal sucked a lot. I always try try to rez on memser, and I lways die :/
4. Ill try out hydromancy, would work well in my build.
5. Sorry, I’m just a total noob who needs the defense staff gives :P
6. Thanks again!
7. (ps. is it just coicidence that you and chaos archangel have similair names? o-O)

GoogleBrandon.5073:

And of course I forgot some things and made typos, so classic me, I had to edit the posts

So yea, thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it to hear that I am appreciated

@Holl – I am not Leaving the game man, I am Leaving the forums :P
I will still play, so if you want to duel me, you can whisper me to see if I got the time
And TCS is here to stay – I am but an officer of the whole guild after all, and not it’s foundation :P

So yea, unless I spot any more typos, or if I am inclined to respond, I will go again – so cye!

Ohhhhh… Looking back that totally makes sense >.<
I don’t know what I was thinking. Anywho, glad you’re not leaving the game than.

If you guys are interested, I play DPS guard, power/condi necro and condition engineer all pretty well. Send me an in game mail if interested

For a Dutch guy your English is superb, Brandon :P
On a serious note, bye Brandon. You were one of the few people I actually talked to in-game (I don’t have many friends :/ ).
Before you leave, we gotta duel one more time! This time I will wreck you with my lockdown mesmer
Well cya I guess…
(Ps. What will happen to the clubbing seals? 0.o)

Holl.3109:

But wouldn’t fiery wrath be better???
It’s like a must have in DPS right?
And I think I would rather take zealots speed than the boon on virue trait, because those boons are only 5 secs :/

Against any top tier cc and condi team I would trait 00644 like the above. Absolute Resolution just rocks for you and your team. Especially since you can’t afford to have any sort of cc when switching to hammer.

When blown up with conditions and/or cc, Force of Will isn’t going to do much against stacks of condis. In zerg fights like your build is meant for, Absolute is pretty much needed for you And your team; other classes don’t have condi removal like you do.

Fiery wrath Would be better if you could keep your burn uptime. But since you can’t it’s really only useful in 1v1 type scenarios if that. Big crit damage gives the traits max potential but unless you’re running with a d/d ele or burn guard, half the time the trait is dormant when JI is on cd.
Otherwise yes it makes for a nicer burst but this isn’t much of a roamer build.

01661 is often favorable because of the overall might you offer and blinds it gives (don’t underestimate blinds!). With renewed focus you do this twice. Think of it as a 10s might instead of 5s, and you’re offering protection and might to your team in zerg scenarios. Which ever build you like better though.

Other than that it’s a fun and solid solo build for sure.

Great advise! Today I went 01661 and didn’t notice much difference, except that I’ve secured a lot of stomps So I might stick to it….

And wouldn’t fiery wrath work better in team fights? Use VoJ and 15+ sec burn on a target, plus, engi’s and ele’s would also bring lots of burning that you can proc fiery wrath of of….

And I think you might be mistaken… Force of will DOES help against condi’s.
Toughess is for raw damage like backstab and stuff
Vitality is for condi’s, an extra 4.5k health will let you fight a lot longer than simply removing 3. (in my opinion)

Purecura.1795:

Sooooo I picked up the Lockdown Style today, using the GS and staff combo, and oh my goodness iam loving it!!!! I score the most during PvP matches mostly. The joy of AoE Boon stripping/ Interrupting, while elegantly Teleporting in my nice glamorous outfit is more than divine.

Mesmers will always be my favorite class, and I dont even play any other chrs.

Hehe glad you like it ^^
(maybe give necro a try though, so you can watch more of my video)

Kraljevo.2801:

This is one of the few builds in this game that truly take skill to play.

Enjoyable montage!

Thank you

Chaos Archangel.5071:

That video was stylish and full of swag. Good stuff!

I only saw about 6 minutes in, but that was pretty tight gameplay and we use very similar builds. I do think you’d benefit more from generosity sigil being on your sword/focus set since only staff Auto and c-storm can proc it.

Also, you shatter more than I do, but I think you’re shattering warden too soon and not getting as much dps as you could from it, and have ya tried Phantasmal Fury? Works really well with staff and focus plants.

One other thing .. I always felt chaos storm should be used right before swapping to sword set rather than when swap is still on cooldown. C-storm into I leap> blurred > shatter is brutal on groups.

That was great though, keep it up!

Thank you Chaos, means a lot coming from a PRO lockdown mesmer like you :P
Yes, I took your build as a template and made my own changes… and I clicked the wrong trait, because I do take PhanFury :/
Thanks for all the tips, will make changes accordingly
And I never even thought of Cstorm>iLeap>BlurFrenzy combo.. will use that later today for sure

Tealots.6095:

Wow! This was a ton of fun to watch. Also, you move really creatively with your weapon set. For some reason, the swap->curtain pull combo has never occurred to me. Swapping to staff immediately after (and throwing in a dodge roll) would give you more distance and clones. That could make for a nice chain diversion. THEN, you pull out the Warlock, cackle cackle cackle!

Really good vid. Can’t wait for some more.

Put quite some time into it, so thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
And yes with multiple teleports you can do some really creative things, one of the reasons why I really like mesmer
More coming soon!

Hello fellow mesmers,

I’ve been playing a ;lot of lockdown mesmer lately and made a montage in PvP Most of the clips are from TeamQ, but there are some hotjoint/SoloQ clips in there as well. I’m no where near pro level, but i like to belief that i’m decent…

flow.6043:

Anyway, I use WoP all the time in super high end mega ultra tier (whatever that still means these days :P), and more people should do it.

Glad I’m not the only one Flow

MethaneGas.8357:

As for the OP… props for being original, as well as using warhorn. You move well and have a good skill rotation / reaction to enemies. One small tip though: I used to do this out of habit when Putrid mark used to help allies… try not to use it when you have no condis on you. Other than that… well done

Thank you! Coming from you that means quite a lot. I’ve seen all your WvW condi necro videos and that was actually one of the reasons I started condi necro, seeing you beasting around 2v1’ing for days :P
And yes, I’m always spamming my marks >.> gonna work on that

Booms.2594:

I’ve been wanting to make a meditation guardian guide, but a full guide is too much of a hassle.. and the build itself is rather easy to play. So, I’m going to make a list full of cool things you can do with medi guards or things that most people don’t know!

Sword AA #3:
Is a projectile. This can be reflected back into you if reflects are up.
Sword 2: Can teleport through LoS. You can teleport up to clocktower on both sides and from underneath using this. You can also teleport to sides on Temple with it.
Sword 3:
Projectiles it shoots if reflected will still hit you.
If you cancel this skill as soon as the yellow bar is finished, the block remains. This lets you disengage or use another skill or even get a stomp vs warr or engi.
GS 2:
Can do more damage if you stand in the middle of the enemy model.
GS 3:
Can get a larger jump if you jump and leap at the same time, similar to dodge jumping. You can get to the platform at Keep with this as well as jump from Henge point to off point ledges. Also gets you into courtyard spawn lol..
Can cancel the after cast that slows you down with wep swap, and also use flashing blade mid air for a very quick 1200 range gap closer.
Similar to burning speed, you can do a short leap of faith by moving your camera so that you are looking directly down at yourself, walk backwards (press S), and use leap of faith. This is good for landing LoF on a downed body in stealth.
GS5:
Tracks in stealth.
Focus 5:
Does not get hit while casting Renewed Focus.

Nearest Enemy Button
This button ignores LoS. Thus, you can get a target to someone who’s on a point (like clocktower) that you cant see, and instantly teleport to them. This is INSANELY helpful for meditation guardians and is pretty much required.

Also I’m always looking for new things to learn! Please comment any other cool things you’ve found you can do with s/f GS medi guards!

Thx didn’t know a lot of these!
And can you really jump on courtyard spawn? 0-0
I’m gonna try right now…

Svenghali.4716:

Nicely done Holl. I dont PvP much anymore, but I love non “Meta” builds.

I have a WvW high DPS GS/H build that isnt glass that I have somewhat translated to PvP, but I like your build idea for PvP here. (Great vid BTW)

My thread if youre interested.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Guardian-Videos-High-DPS-WVW/first#post4606035

Wow those mighty blows though!
BTW nice music, all the music from volume 3 I have in my music library xD
Just one question why don’t you take 1 out of radiance and the last trait tree and go for meditations?

Lol I’am REALLY new to guardian but absolutely hate scepter, which is the reason I made this meditation build with hammer

@Aggrostemma: I might not be the right person to ask guardian questions to because I only have 100 hours or so in PvP (and lvl 24 in PvE xD all from tombs of knowldge) but yes, I think this build would do really well in WvW mainly because chill on GS swap/immob hammer/that RoW though!/Banish for days :P
Always keep staff for swiftness and disengage with LoF and JI for some OK mobility.
Probably add in some PVT gear for just a bit more survivability and you’re good to go
And thanks

@Svenghali: Thank you, my videos are always quality over quantity
Anywho, I’ll be sure to check out your post!

Thank you
/15charrrrrrrrrr

Hi there,
I’m hollts, rank 61 atm and the only thing I do in GW2 is pvp :P
I have spent many centuries mastering the art of necromancy, both power and condition I can also play any form of condition engineer. My YouTube channel (in signature) will give you a look at my playstyle. If you are interested please contact me ingame
-Hollts

NeXeD.3042:

fixed a bug with necros that allowed them access to a second lifebar.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this actually happened -_-

:( < at everything Anet does for us necro’s… except interact in DS, that was really nice to finally have

I take doom, because I’m not on my scepter warhorn set for AA, it is more used for LF, daze and AoE Bleed. I would not want to go through an entire AA chain just for a 4 second poison

Meh, I’ll have to look into CB again…
If I know that ill be going up against multiple ele’s/warr/guards (at least 3) I would swap WoP for CB, but otherwise I think WoP is better. Also, check out Choxie’s channel on youtube. He’s also a condimancer who knows how to make WoP shine.

Thank you Brandon for a well explained reply (as always :P) I’ll be looking into what I can change and see what works best. That’s why I like posting builds on the forums, lots of different opinions on it so I can have a different PoV

(And I’ll swap bursting for energy… i think. I just never ‘felt’ it before :/)

Plexxing.2978:

flow.6043:

Secondly, lackluster? How about a reliable source of vigor and aegis, and not just for you but your allies as well. Yes, there is a very short period of time during knock backs when you can’t cast it, this has never been an issue for me though. Then again, if you see the knockback coming you can use the stability to avoid the stun(s) entirely.

I’ve tried using the stability pre-CC. It seems to have no effect. It might be lag, but it’s as if the stability isn’t there at all. I choose WoC instead….not a stunbreaker, but it annoys those boon users.

It certainly work, because just yesterday I corrupted another necro’s WoP’s stability.

leman.7682:

Mmm, a variance of the standard. I like variance.

My biggest gripes:

• Untraited warhorn – mehhy meh
• Vital Persistence – what for? Path of Midnight, better. Hell, with your utility choice even Spectral Mastery works better.
• Well of Power really feels underwhelming for reasons provided by Moakkington.
• GL surviving long fights without Sigils of Energy . Bursting feels waaay out of place., especially in staff. Could accept in a Dhuumfire+Terror build… maybe.
• Nightmare runes Kappa. I prefere Traveler’s and without them I feel like a Flesh Wurm.

-No place for warhorn trait here buddy, would love to have it though :/
-Vital persistence is a great choice for (most) build, especially on condi because I’d rather wait for cooldown in DS, than spam CD’s because LF is about to run out.
-Look above for energy
-Spectral Walk + Warhorn = no need for travelers :P Runes of nightmare has a 3 second fear which is not to be overlooked.

Thanks for all the input everyone

guys, please don’t argue over what you think is better because there is no way to know for sure. You can explain to people why you think it is better but in the end it comes down to preference. My preference is WoP with PoC and rabid.

But since you guys are doing it I’m just gonna drop my 2 cents. WoP over Wurm or CB because it gives you boons you wouldn’t really have as necro. Stand in barrage and boom 40 sec vigor. It also has a some decent group support which is nice.
I would take wurm only on battle of khylo or TotSS because there I know some really nice spots to put it so I can immediately get out of trouble (roof on clocktower in khylo and pretty much anywhere in TotSS). But I usually don’t because mesmer/thief/warrior can blink/steal/rush right back to you.
No CB because I just think PoC is enough.

Not saying they are not good choices, just saying why I don’t pick them.

Also, will add video explanantion of this build in a couple of hours…

HeadCrowned.6834:

well nice vid mate, but not to be flaming: your opponents were really bad (I mean comon, signet warriors?). Further more I don’t really agree with some aspects of your build, like warhorn + spectral walk is a waste of an utility slot. Better replace warhorn for dagger so you won’t need WoP (+transfer>condiflip). Corrupt boon is a must have as a condi necro in my opinion. But keep the good work up

That signet warrior was in a 2v1, thats gotta count for something! :P
I only take warhorn for the amazing LF regen, because that is always what im struggling wiht on my condi necro. all the swiftness, cripple, unblockable daze are just really nice bonusses Same with Swalk, I take it for the teleport which has saved me tonnnnsss of times, LF and swiftness are just bonusses
And with that logic I can say that I dont need staff because I already have condi transfer on my offhand dagger :P

And I get that corrupt boon is real nice and all, but I dont feel that you absolutely need it. PoC handles my boon corruption with 1 boon every 7 sec (on average) and I feel that you really don’t need much more. I also take Swall because it scales with the # of opponents you have, protection, more fears = more dmg, THOSE BAGS IN EotM THOUGH, chaos armor, and lastly no downside (like poison on corrupt boon).

flow.6043:

HeadCrowned.6834:

..so you won’t need WoP

Wop > all.

The only thing I would change is carrion instead of rabid.

Flow, I really cant tell if you are being sarcastic or not O-O
Also, I really reccomend rabid over carrion. those barbed precision procs alone will do more dmg than the extra power (I think :P)

witcher.3197:

Holl.3109:

what more do you want?

Well, for one, stop doing hotjoin. :P Basically you are owning PvE players who are doing their dailies with random traits and skills so it’s not a good way to demonstrate a build. It’s a challenge to come up with something that does not work in hotjoin.

It wasn’t all hotjoint though :P, I only put hotjoint clips in if they are 2v1’s, a very nice play, quick condi burst (like thief at 2nd clip), outnumbered, etc. The rest (I guarantee) is SoloQ And as a great mesmer roamer once said (Vashury):
I know what people say, hotjoin is for noobs- BUT:
1. as long i am a noob cause i do hotjoin I will have fun with ohter noobs in the hot join
2. the word “noob” is in my view not legit – nobody in this game playes perfect NOBODY. To be honest GuildWarsII has one of the lowest skillcaps I´ve ever seen in pvp games the most “good” players should have realiced this too. And aslong nobody plays perfect nobody should act like being somehting special – better try to enhance the gameplay from others to bring us all more fun in GW2.
And my addition: Some of the best people I fought against were in hotjoint, just yesterday i met XerreX on his thief. :O (wasn’t recording though :/)

Hey forum people,
So most of you probably know me because of my powermancer videos and my love of SpectralGrasp, but I decided to change things up and go for a terrormancer video :P

I made a montage of some clips I gathered while playing my terrormancer build in s/tPvP. I am having a lot of fun with playing Terror Necro because it really feels strong as both the survivability and damage is incredible.

2v1’s, awesome music, fear for days, plague stomps and corrupting ele’s 25 might stacks 24/7…. what more do you want?

So click HERE for a terrormancer montage

Heyo guardian forums,
maybe some of you remember my last post about hammer/GS…
but simply put: I prefer hammer over scepter/focus and have had a lot of success with it in SoloQ.

The build that I run: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJARSlsApboVDxcI8DNR8QVVAg9UEFV61/wOkDA-TpBFwACOCAMuAA12fo9hAoaZAAPAAA

Because of the loss of condi removal (with absolute resolution) you have purity instead of the fury on med trait and generosity on hammer.
Then to make up for the loss of fury you have pack runes for 50% uptime which is plenty. Overall, I think its a really great build, BUT, i’m not gonna disagree condi engi/necro and kite-y opponents will give you a bit of trouble…

Video with combo’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt2pKjnydwA
I suggest to watch the vid to watch my playstyle and some combo’s that I made up. Also, because its pretty epic :P

I lolled, because first you say other brainless ppl keep saying OPPOPOPOPOP, and than you do it yourself :P

Hamster.4861:

Fun video i enjoyed it! only thing I got for you is that you should try and hold off on using your staff #4 skill.

It seems like you’re just laying it down for a bit more damage instead of using it for it’s utility, to get conditions to xfer from you to your opponent. If you can, try to wait 5-10 seconds for a better opportunity to use it when you swap to staff. It should be the last, or second to last mark you put down.

Thank you
I get that a lot, but yes I do it for the dmg because Putrid Mark is the only one that actually does some dmg. In one of my videos i show a whopping 4.5k PM crit. Against people that I know are condi I do tend to save it for last but against the DD ele that wasn’t the case. And again, if they were dead they couldn’t put condi’s on me :P
(but seriously yea ty)

Plexxing.2978:

Holl.3109:

Are you a necromancer? Do you like to see people QQ? Do you hate skyhammer as much as brussels sprouts?
If so, than why do you need spectral grasp on skyhammer?

This will explain it
Just watch it, it’s worth it

I like brussel sprouts.

tl;dr: one second of unawareness and they die, because of falling damage

sorry

Lopez.7369:

This actually isn’t worth it anymore, at least at high ratings, because it’s way too inconsistent and easy to avoid. In fact, one of the most common mistakes I see in Skyhammer is people still playing in the old way on the map by trying to knock or pull people off or going for the now useless cannon. In reality, it’s much better to treat Skyhammer like any other map now.

Just completely ignoring the fact that you can instakill people with a well timed fear/pull/etc doesn’t sound like the best idea. On skyhammer I don’t need to kill people this way, but if the opportunity arises I will take it

guys, cmon, this guy didn’t come here for trolls :/

I’m not gonna comment on the build but…
3+5+5+5 = 18
We have 14 skill points

Plz explains how u hackzz gw2

Rym.1469:

Skyhammer and EotM are the best places for funny jukes.

My favourite is just activating SWalk, jumping down the cliff and porting back. 90% of playerbase gets too close to the ledge if you fake your suicide jump. It would be shame not to fear them from behind.

Haha yes EotM is the best. Just run off with Swalk, they go to the ledge to wait for bags, Sreturn, DS, doom, bags for you ^^

One is telling me you can go either way, and the other says if be on a huge disadvantage :P
I use rabid so the loss of power dmg isn’t a big deal, and I use pistol with range trait so I have 1050 range on pistol.

Well thanks anywho, I’ll keep testing and see why I like better.

I didnt see you use my favorite combo

Grasp into Dagger#3

The tile does not even need to be broken before-hand as they sit there helpless

I think you may have not watched far enough into the vid, I did use that combo with a pesky D/D ele who thought he was really cool with his meta might stacking build :P

LOL

skyhammer and spectral grasp keeping meta builds in there place – with the wurms

Als jullie een van die nodig hebben, en nog aan het zoeken zijn laat het me dan weten
ik heb ook een youtube pagina waar jullie kunnen zien hoe ik speel – staat in me signature

I didnt see you use my favorite combo

Grasp into Dagger#3

The tile does not even need to be broken before-hand as they sit there helpless

I think you may have not watched far enough into the vid, I did use that combo with a pesky D/D ele who thought he was really cool with his meta might stacking build :P

What do you guys think?
(with 2kit im referring to rabid balthazar P/S toolkit + Elixir S)

I really prefer bombs because of the area denial and the huge burn/blind uptime. ALSO, fire and smoke fields that are reaaaallly handy.
But everyone says I should go nades. I really don’t like nades because i miss everyone of them :/

And so far I am pretty good at using bombs correctly, if i say so myself.
MY GAMEPLAY WITH ELIXIR S + TOOLKIT + BOMBS = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmlpjQGJ7-E

So yea, which one and why

Are you a necromancer? Do you like to see people QQ? Do you hate skyhammer as much as brussels sprouts?
If so, than why do you need spectral grasp on skyhammer?

This will explain it
Just watch it, it’s worth it

tl;dr: one second of unawareness and they die, because of falling damage

So i decided to switch things up and am currently running this build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQJArdhcMqb23wsBd0ACACxrJDGox4e7KC-TJRHwAw2fIZZAynAAAPAAA

And I really like it, lots of soft CC, perma burning, CAN get up to 25 might (but usually wont happen) and not too up close and personal like dagger/focus.

Now the only thing i have trouble with is condi builds and reaaalllly high burst classes.
Yes you have 3k armor, usually 3.1k with scepter, but only 13k health.
It might be because I’m a noob at ele (:P) but I die everytime some real burst class comes along.

Any tips welcome!
thanks

Hey forum people,

After a long while of playing other classes, included but not limited to, condi S/F ele, GS/hammer med guard, lockdown mesmer, and condi HGH engi, I’m back to my necromancer roots. specifically power.

Put a quick video together, featuring some bursts, 2v1’s, fails and some nice duels.
Let me know how I did and keep on necromancing

I was just wondering; lately I’ve been doing quite a lot of PvP with hammer and wondered if using mighty blow when coming out of the gate is a speed increase or not?
I mean speed increase as in getting to a node faster than not using it at all…
To be honest it really isn’t noticeable if it is.
Wondered if anyone did the math or anything because id like to know
Thank you!

Duuuuuuuudeeeeee…. Its like drugggsss
