I would really love to use this on burn guard…

You’re running power or condi, Svarty?
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
The condition pressure did not really change so much since pre patch.
everyone just lost their mesmers/eles bots, cele amulet and its all rounder stats. no more free healing power/vit/toughness coupled with damage and loads of boons. the classes that handled cleansing for the team are no longer effective(mesmer/ele). bunker guard/druid/ cleric ele can replace the old cele tempest/bunker mesmer.
reaper condi builds received a buff to build variety that is all.
if you fight a reaper now you might wanna take a guess if they run curses or spite and their bar should tell you. spite builds are more bursty with boon removal while curses will opt to be for defensive instead. plan accordingly and depending on which weapon the necro switches to.
if you really cant win, grab a DD or a Scrapper and go to town farming reapers.
just give it some time and people will adapt.

for a GM it lacks a flavor of being a GM
Extra functionalities:
Heal goes through shroud
Striking a foe with 10 or more bleed stacks and two other unique damaging conditions casts Epidemic around the target
Foes affected by your Epidemic lose 20% of their boon duration for 5 seconds. Conditions spread by your Epidemic last 20% longer.

slap an extra 2 second cd on true shot, reduce cooldown on skill5, make dragon’s maw ring more visible and a bit larger and call it a day.
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
inventions is still far better for defensive reasons and to help them deal with high condi pressure
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
wait for the meta to adjust
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
How about reroll Scrapper and kill everything?
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
I am not sure what to make out of this
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Ridiculous how Anet constantly ignore that the ele class needs HUGE redesign to ever feel as viable and versatile as other classes nowadays do.
That is a pretty myopic viewpoint you’ve got going there, half the classes in the game have design issues, for example anything that uses AI which is basically broken to various extents on virtually every class that uses it, of course for some classes that is less of an issue than others, but on classes where it plays a big part like Ranger, Mesmer, etc it is a big problem, that has existed the entire game.
You should also get off your whinebox when it comes to ele and the entire game, where ele has been “meta” in PvE & WvW pretty much the entire game, and faired pretty well in PvP with only really thief, guard and maybe engy faring better over the course of the last 3 years.
Whilst most other classes have overall been far more useless, in PvP ranger, necro, warrior, etc, WvW (half the classes basically unwanted for three years, whilst ele has been perma meta) and PvE where the likes of necro were basically unwanted for 3 years, whilst ele was always a top class to the point it got stacked, the sheer lack of perspective is pathetic.
A strong argument can be made that overall ele has been the top class in spvp measuring average strength over the life span of the game. No other class has been stacked more in general at high levels of play at any given time and they have been out of meta the least. In theory all classes should have at least one meta build at any time if the game was balanced correctly but I find the current ele tears a little juicy personally. The people that had it the best are always going to cry the most when the nerf stick hits and they are on the bottom for a bit.
Hello? You weren’t around the time when people stacked up to 4 warriors?
Those days were fun though! Back then Soldier/Cele HamBow actually took more effort to function than DH and Bunker builds of season 1

I am enjoying matches that actually end rather than watching the timer ticking away to zero while hoping our score is still going to be in the lead…
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
I am also curious…How is it going so far?
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
out of context much?
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Plague sending is just too good if you go curses
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Not bad….I thought that stealth trait after leaving CA was trash but I was proven so very wrong when you build around it…
GG
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
I do not recall Druid having perma spammable protection tbh…
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
I can finally let go of spite and not feel guilty
Thanks for the buff to build diversity
now about that death’s charge and GS….
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
I think he also forgot which team he was on too xD
Helseth is golden
btw was that honey?
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
the guardian sword is actually a joke
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
You old fossil
kitten I can’t believe I still remember those…It’s been a long time now that it feels like those never even existed.

CTTB could use a cooldown reduction and retal imho but not blind immune
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
I made quick ScreenShots for you
I like the weapon and don’t regret making it but it lacks fancy effects that make it stand out and could use alot more of improvements.
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
just how often do you go through a whole auto attack chain on scepter? how often are you going to be on scepter? the other skills on your bar are far more powerful than the auto attack.
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Good.
Hope it enjoys the cold grave.
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
when you enter shroud against another fellow necro make sure not to keep your stab for long if the foe is out of shroud and has signets ready at his bar unless you wish to have your pulsing stability with no cover boons corrupted each time it pulses into a fear chain and followed up by extra fear from the foe’s own skills.
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
I’d rather be one shot’ed by warriors and thieves than die from boredom and frustration by watching bunker eles and bunker mesmers dance and jump around like immortal monkeys on point, thank you!
bring on the nukes! lets kill stuff!
now please return to your grave for the next 6 months
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Bring a friend and stunlock the necro… it isnt so hard right?
Spontaneous Destruction spam did the same thing no? along with 2 other traits on low cooldwon. Rev also revomes boons so why not try having your boons removed too.

You may visit your world’s community forum and ask there if you would like
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Can we pretty please restrict this to ranked and unranked gameplay only? Some people might still want to use those though for the sake of variety and fun in custom arenas and HJs.
I do not believe this would be too hard to code as well.
Thoughts?
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
You should also consider how much you would actually use the auto attack chain over your other skills and how long you would be willing to camp scepter? this might sound great on paper but reality will put it to the test as no sane team would leave a necromancer alive and free casting for long. Especially that thieves are coming back to the meta to counter the necro and also warriors. Get ready to be stunlocked again.
burst corruption is still better imo but this is not a bad change.
compensate for the scepter’s low and slow condition output with corruption.
what I am interested in is if the scepter trait would affect the duration of corrupted boons. That there would be too much….
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
ah this is amazing…
now I dont have to trait into spite for decent corruption application and signets are a solid pick still! this is great! now just a few improvements to curses and fear traits and we are good and perhaps can look at DM and BM again. Though now I will need some way to get rid of self application with the new faster frequency of application.
corruption on auto might end up biting the dust like old dumbfire though.
nothing on focus/axe/GS/Staff yet though :/
I really want to use a GS and a Focus but too kitten slow
oh and….gotta pay a few ele friends a visit huehuehuehue! I dont even mind that teefs and warriors will be back to hunt us in the coming meta! im just glad cancer mesmer and diamond skill ele are out.
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
you werent the only one at the last tier and went back all the way to 13 wins left
made it eventually
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
when i play condi necro i usually get about 350k condi damage…but on power and viper rev…lol 700k-850k
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Thanks for the post OP

I am really tired of match making problems….
and premades vs pugs that dont just happen once but several times against the same premade that whooped your total pug team every time.

I dont see how this is cancer….or it seems it doesnt have enough cancer
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
1 Friend DC’ed before the start of the match, game client didnt function properly for him and couldnt make it back, whole team lost 3 pips for the 4vs5
that wasn’t fun
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
try eating 4 gravity wells or 4 timewarps as a necromancer/thief…yeah I really didnt like that one and cant believe it happened to me
or try finishing something you expended every cooldown on with a mesmer nearby….nothing much can be done to stop it…but that will change soon with quickness and slow not affecting rezzing
killing the dame thing solo isnt possible without making self susceptible to being farmed by druid pets and revenants.
really I thought I hated bunker guardians before but bunker mesmer just puts that past hate to shame.
now excuse me while I join your ranks and help making the opposition cry in frustration

I tested all HoT pets in HoTM and they indeed do not proc the weakness
meh, cant believe I havent noticed this until I took off Nature magic :/
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
So I am tired of seeing this spec carry every game and have finally given in and want to roll one to make my life easier.
Question is how do you play the build and where should I be on the map? Tips, suggestions, whateverz to help me learn how to use the build would be welcome since I’m not the best mesmer out there.
Thanks!

gotta nerf the express golden dungeon train
so you’d consider upgrading to HoT
“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
we never get free buffs

“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140

Perma ban that thing plz

“Revenant is actual proof that devs read the necromancer forum” – Pelopidas.2140
Well the bllasted thing needs Terror, Spectral Mastery and Fear of Death to reach its full potential…
All spectral skills feel kinda awkward these days and not just spectral wall…
