Make a new character, choose the mask at character creation, buy another mask that the vendor sells at the charr area go to your warehouse and transmuted it and it will become account bound.
Those back items require players to run fractals and i hate that, there’s no other way to obtain them so i’m waiting for anet to put other ways for players like me to get it.
EDIT: I had sigil of bloodlust for more power, it works well in dungeon runs but not so good in WvW so i switched back to crest. here’s my stat, no omni or any food that cost like 1s+ each, i use cheap stuff.
This is keeping me from using elite xform, the auto attack system, it’s a huge pain in the butthole when you have to set the auto attack EVERY kitten time when you want to use those two elite skill, please fix it.
Siphoning build sucks kitten in pve and pvp, seriously as a power/vit/t build, the amount of healing it does is atrocious, when someone doing 5k per hit, oh yea healing for 200 will be helpful, not! i’m just glad i’m not spec for siphoning.
I’ll prob reach around 26k HP 2.7k armor and 3200 attack when i finish gearing. I would love to afford the food but those kitten cost a fortune not to mention the oils are bug when you teleport or die it gets remove.
I use staff necro with vit, toughness and power build and i’m always the last top die even the freaking guard goes down faster than me. And i can say my dps prob outshine them too. You have to know how to spec and play your necro to be effective.
I hear this “LF1M (NOT NECROMANCER)” stuff on the forums all the time, but it seems to never happen to me in game. Terrible players are terrible players, and that doesn’t depend on class.
A much more efficient way to boost your stats and crit damage is by slotting jewels of your choice into all pieces of your armor. (if you didn’t know that you could use jewels instead of runes)
These keep removing when players relog, change maps or death, (it’s the same for every one of the same type with the wrench icon) it’s not the same way for food, i don’t know if it’s meant to be this way or not just try and get it to your attention.
Since release players have been complaining about orr, i don’t mind the risens, i don’t mind the art style, i think it’s fantastic, what i do mind is the damage the mobs put out, the amount of CC is mind boggling. One freaking skill point i had to go through 2 vets and 5 regular risens to get it, and as a lvl74 necro, it’s not fun. I don’t want dungeon difficulty on a pve map, if i want that i will run a dungeon, no wonder all of the maps is empty because when players reach 100% completion they get the kitten out of there. You guys need to fix this. You wonder why some players reach max lvl and nothing else to do is because of those freaking maps, they need a nerf, a lot of npc and DE, fun DEs occupy those zones fantastic stories i would happily revisited to take part of, but until you fix it i will never go back to them and i think the majority of your playerbase feels the same way.
Ok so i’m almost lvl80 i want to finish 100% map completion and full exotic then go in WvW for pvp. Right now my build focus on staff and well burst, it’s awesome in pve and can kill pretty when i have like 10 mobs in one place.
Now, how is a power necro in WvW, would axe be better for burst? my build will focus on wells and every post here i keep seeing is that their useless. So should i run a condition build? my thief is full condition and can reach 1400 condition and stack 25 bleed in seconds, can a necro do that? i don’t mind if they don’t stack 25 bleed but is their damage higher? what is the common condition build for a necro and what do you think would an ideal burst damage build be? i’m asking because i don’t want to waste my time gearing for the wrong build.
what about focused rituals? as a power staff necro who’s yet to reach lvl80, i’m looking at that trait and thinking that it will be very important, ofc if i want that i’ll have to sacrifice a lot of good traits and focused rituals seems like a must.
Can someone link a vampiric build? i’m curious what weapons you use on offhand if using a single handed weapon or main hand, traits and utilities, i’m talking specifically for PvE and WvW.
Nobody uses it, out of every thieves maybe less then 5% use the s/d so i don’t know what’s the fuss is about, they need to fix flanking strike to make it usable then we can all qq about nerfs.
Not just MF, i hate it when people running glass cannon build and dies every time he gets hit, it’s the same with everyone, if you’re running with full dps gear at lease get the sense to re-trait to defense build so you can survive one hit.
So i’m building a staff necro focus on burst like well of corruption, well of suffering etcc.. and there’s not a lot of condition damage skill on the staff except #2 which is a bleed and damage on bleed kinda suck, the poison is there for the healing, so i’m deciding whether to get carrion set or valk set. Should i put condition on my armor and traits?
Pure melee damage sucks, the only weapon combo that deals enough damage to stay on par with other classes is the condition spec, axe/torce and traps, burning trap and bleed trap. Traits to trigger bleed on crit, sharpening stone when health reaches 70% a lynx for a pet, put enough duration and damage on armor and weapons you can out damage a condition thief by a lot reach 25 stack bleed very quickly and burning damage is just insane, so if you want a good damage build that’s not pure melee go condition.
Condition build is good if build right. I use P/D and D/D in WvW and dungeons and it;s awesome. With food, traits and runes you can easily reach 1400 condition damage with carrion armors plus it’s not a glass cannon and have more survivability.
I love my condition thief, reason why is i love going into a zerg, caltrops and DB and see those pretty numbers flying off the enemies, that alone gives me the satisfaction of playing a condition thief.
You asking for this from the perspective of an ex-Rift player? Just curious since they kind of did this.
I got the idea from BnS which a NcSoft game that’s suppose to release in the west later, they have solo dungeon from what i’ve read, i didn’t particular like the game cause i tried it on a private server and didn’t like the gameplay and wonder why doesn’t gw2 have more solo content .
Yea why is that? i’m sure you already have the mechanic for scaling why not make the dungeons soloable and give special armors for players who did it solo? i hate do dungeons with group except with guildies and it will give individual players a sense of accomplishment, when they see that special armor they will look and say that guy did a dungeon solo. Make special weapons and items for solo players to obtain in dungeons, add achievements etc..anet just need to change something around in the current dungeons.
So i’m rolling condition damage spec with decent amount of duration thrown in from rune, sigil and traits. I’m d/d mainly and p/d in dungeons or when the situation calls for it in WvW.
I’m curious cause one of the dev said that they are looking to improve it and i’m wondering what they will add to make it better cause it’s a real pain to find a group on a medium pp server.
Hi guys, I’ve decide to play a necro after playing a thief since head-start, i want to try something different other than a condition build, i have one on thief. So can you guys give me a tip on how to build a bursty necro?
Cause condition damage sucks, more specifically, bleeds. I learn yesterday the only thing it’s good for in WvW is taking out noobs who’s below lvl80 and without exotics gears, with a competent warrior or guardian you gonna get face roll, hard, it doesn’t matter how many sneak attacks you put out, it’s not gonna bring their hp down to matter.
Seriously this is not a l2p situation, it’s a design flaw on bleeds with thief, the damage is pitiful.
I see some vids rolling p/d setup and facerolling other players in WvW, go against a warrior or guardian or even a mesmer with full exotics, and you gonna have a bad time.
One would think having 1500 condition would make a difference, nope, it doesn’t. I hate this, i hate that we have to FORCED to play a gimmick build (pistolwhip or backstab) instead of what we want to play. I love p/d but the damage is so kittened up it’s not even funny anymore.
We were doing hodgkins and he keep bugging out when we were at the scepter part, nothing happened when we reach the area the event was suppose to trigger.
So why isn’t there an enchantment system in gw2? imo it will add a lot more of customize for armors and weapons. For example, armors and weapons would enchant to +25, each enchantment will add base armor, HP for armors and damage for weapons. 1-5 enchantment will cost nothing except some coins, 6-15 enchantment will use a special stone to enchant them, 16-25 uses enchantment stone and there’s a great chance to fail enchantment, if fail both weapons, armors and enchantment stone will be destroyed.
The higher the enchantment, items like weapons will have special glow, like 10-15 will have a blue glow, 16-25 will have a red glow or gold glow or w/e. People get bored once they reach lvl80, this will give them a little more to do, want to make your armors and weapons stronger? well you have to work for it.
Don’t waste your karma before lvl80, cause when you reach endgame you will need them for exotic armors since their 42k each, buy off TP and wear what you got from drops if their better than what you currently have.
as a necromancers say, every 100 condition = 5 damage per tick.. 1400 is around 115. i tried to use superior rune of corruption, and it gives me a total of 1650 condition damae = 130+ bleed per tick,
going over is not a waste,
and if you will browse necro threads, they can reach 2100+ condition damage because of their trait line
Is that a new rune, cause i tried to look for it and it seems it doesn’t exist.
sneak attack? the problem is, when useing steal and go in hide it will auto attack afterwards instead of sneak attack, is there a solution to this other than disabling auto attack? (disabling auto attack that is not an option)
