Guild Wars 2

I see most Rangers prefer not to use the longbow, but it has such fun skills on it..

Does anyone have any decent builds with it or a good weapon offset? I was either thinking Sword Dagger or Axe Dagger. Maybe Axe Dagger for team fights.

It’s so depressing the best part of the game is dead. Waiting in 5+ minute queues to have some fun and then end with a few PVE chests is what’s killing the action.

Add in some skins, cosmetic rewards. Take out the PVE chests. Hey, we might get some people into PVP.

My warrior seems like a snoozefest sometimes. And everyone thinks that you’re easy to play/known for being bad. I like my warrior for the burst damage.

I’m levelling a guardian though because I want to defend nodes/help players. My warrior just feels goofy.

Flamethrowers got a pretty good toolbelt, the blinds nice, it has a low CD knockback and a fire field. As said, its a utility weapon, not a main weapon.

I dont know why they just give you the choice of a hard fight or a jump puzzle.

It doesnt even have to be that. It could be gold or karma for a jump puzzle etc.

I dont buy gems but they should do more content like this. Ive been wondering if Anet was going to go bankrupt for awhile.

Wait, you can get exotics etc. from non 80 bags? I opened 80 yesterday and only got an exotic axe (worth like 2g) and a few more mats worth something. But I was bummed that stuff like mithrils useless. If I level an alt I can get exotic 80 gear? Argh

Stealths not OP but a blast on light field should probably reveal.

Thieves only seem OP because they can pick their battles. They dont really bring too much to the table in zergs.

Warriors only seem OP because theyre so painfully vanilla in what they do. They bring high numbers and natural high HP. Theyre hard to kite but it can be done. Theyre overplayed because its an easy class to learn. Yes, a great warrior has a higher skillcap but for the most part its a push button do big numbers class.

I agree. Fire aura is kind of lackluster

Er… yes, I meant to say focus >.<.

That’s an interesting point, I didn’t see the offhands that way. I really like the warhorn but was just curious on opinions. Wasn’t sure if the boon stripping on the offhand is really important or not :P

jportell.2197:

Your build isn’t the absolute highest DPS you can get as a necromancer and most certainly not the highest DPS you can get in PvP.

You take reapers might and spiteful talisman… But completely forget Chill of death.
This is arguably one of the best traits in the Game. It is an instant proc unblockable skill that can do up to 8k damage.
Also you don’t have a stunbreaker and are using runes of the eagle. Which is great for dmg increase when your target is under 50 health. However there are other damage modifier runes that you can keep the 6th bonus up on for longer…. sayyy runes of strength? They equate to over all higher DPS since you can keep it the bonus up longer especially in teamfights. Then their is the lack of a stunbreaker. Yes I know necro stunbreakers are on absurdly long cooldowns however aside from flesh wurm which is just a teleport and requires a pre-cast, necro stunbreakers are pretty friggin awesome. The most awesome of which is spectral walk. It gives you swiftness and a telport within a reasonable timeframe and this teleport is UNRESTRICTED! Which means you can activate spectral walk>darkpath someone drop your wells on them and spectral recall completely back out of the fight… So with those two skills and combo you can bounce in and out of a fight like a thief but not as often… Spectral walk is still great for running in and dropping wells then porting out and going into lich form. Which btw why no lich form? It triples your power and is a teamfight decider especially if you and your team can CC the opposition into the wells that you should have dropped before lich form.

Lastly you are running a sigil of battle and no rune of strength? You are really hampering your DPS with that one. Another thing that is absolutely killing your “ultimate” power is the lack of stacking sigils of fire+air in the same weapon set. Having a sigil of air and a sigil of fire in the same weaponset gives you insane burst potential especially since they are on ridiculously short ICDs.

Your trait spread is standard but your rune and sigil and skill choices aren’t very great as well as specific traits. You are missing out on a lot there is nothing like oneshotting a thief, mesmer, or an ele, that is stomping your mate just by using doom because when you do use doom (DS #3) It will proc sigils of air, fire, and chill of death giving you an instant 8-9k damage at range and saving your teammates rear end.

TLDR: This isn’t the “ultimate” powermancer build for the following reasons.

• No chill of death (instant proc/unblockable)
• Could achieve higher DPS/Burst potential with a different runeset (strength/scholar etc.)
• No stacking of a sigil of air+fire combo (seriously try it.)
  *Taking signet of spite (signets don’t work in death shroud 6/2/0/0/6 gets all of its DPS from deathshroud, so you are running a counter productive skill to your build.)
• No stunbreak (WTF?!)

Here is what I use. I went from the %’s on the leaderboard to the top 100 on this build in a few days.
The DPS and team fight capability is insane with lich form and the two wells which eat up almost every profession… Just gotta play it smart.

That is an amazing post! One question though, what are your thoughts on a warhorn instead of a 2nd dagger OH?

What about a non-condition damage necro build? Is that a thing? I assume axe on one set and dagger on the other, with either a warhorn and a dagger offhand somewhere.
