WvW Small Scale - Sustain Debuffer Build

Ever since fighting BG server again I've encountered more and more 'Focus the necro first' treatment from opposing groups of roamers and to that end I want to share a build that has enjoyed a relative amount of success in small scale fights of around 2-5 pug roamers on each side.

I managed to fight some of the best roamers still active and unfortunately...I must say that the build is not good enough when hard focused...hence we must become a cockroach to survive small scale fights!

The purpose of the build is:

1. Ensure survival long enough when focused (so that the first to get downed is the enemy)
2. Actively work as the debuff anti-boons bot in the group (starve the focused enemy of his boons)

Survival depends on:

1. Protection. The new trait Dark Defiance in Death Magic - Protection gives 33% power dmg reduction and 20% condi dmg reduction.

   • Dark Defiance: 4.5 secs when CCed (20 secs CD)
   • Spectral Armor: 12 secs (40 secs CD)
   • Beyond the veil: 4.5 secs (when leaving shroud)
   • Rune of the Grove: 3-15 secs (AOE protection pulsing field when struck)
   • Spectral Ring: 7.5 secs (40 secs CD)

2. Condi removal:

   • Unholy Matyr: 3 condis (when leaving shroud)
   • Consume Conditions: full clear (30 secs CD)
   • Dagger 4: 3 condis (12-18 secs CD)
   • Shrouded Removal: 1 condi (per 3 secs in shroud)
   • Spectral Walk: 1-6 condis (40 secs CD)

3. Lifeforce generation

   • Dagger 1
   • Axe 2
   • Focus 4
   • Spectral Armor
   • Spectral Walk
   • Unholy matyr

4. HP generation

   • Dagger 2
   • Unholy sanctuary
   • Life from death
   • Consume Conditions
   • Vampiric

Debuff anti-boons abilities

• Focus 5 (3 boons, 16 secs CD)
• Axe 3 (2 boons, 9.5 secs CD, AOE)
• Dagger 3 (2 boons, 10-15 secs CD)
• Dagger 5 (1 boon, 17-25 secs CD, AOE)
• Spiteful Spirit (2-4 boons upon shroud entry, AOE)
• Chill of death (3 boons, 20 secs CD)

When I read the title I instantly though of Nemesis
