Helly.2597 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Well after taking a few months break from the game, I'm back playing gw2. Still debating what build I find the most effective. I haven't attempted any scourge since it simply hasn't seemed enjoyable to play with the changes. Playing some core Necro mainly. Either blood magic (spvp meta build) or death magic seem viable. Anyways here a rusty video. Let me know what y'all think and any comments you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EremiteAngel.9765 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Every time I feel like taking a break from the game, you would inspire me with another masterclass.Now I feel like taking my Necro out for a jog.Hope to see a Scourge video though!If anyone can pull it off, its you =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes breaks are good though! Found myself not enjoying the game and took some time to reset before coming back. Does mean you have a bit of rust coming back though.Scourge probably is fine for small scale, and is still strong when you have a support. I just would rather play core Necro or even hybrid reaper over it currently I think. We'll see if I get the itch to play it again here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dceptaconroy.7928 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Looks good mate, sweet vid as usual. Always enjoy watching some decent core action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapasmurf.5623 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Starting to see more Core Necros in WvW. Shroud auto has good range and does a great amount of damage. Axe power is just crazy. Everything else seems underwhelming.Fun video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly.2597 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Put together another video. Build: https://bit.ly/37iawL1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly.2597 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Just another video. Build is same as above (and in the description). A few 1v1s in there, mostly against holos. Honestly the matchup is pretty Necro favored but still fun to lock someone down with corrupts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice use of the fear wall! messes up opponents more often than not.And what happened to that fight against the CD mirage and thief at the 29 mins mark?That Mirage looks like Qianye! One of the strongest roamers in NA.I have almost never seen her lose in a 1 vs 1 encounter since I got to know her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that fight loyal finished off the mirage and then the thief disengaged and got gunned down by loyal. And another video is out. At the risk of saturating people with videos Id rather put one out every week to show what roaming looks like on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly.2597 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Another video of mostly necro. I swapped to spite over blood to test it out. Lich is mainly for the memes but 4s fear isn't the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see here I ported before the stomp finished cause otherwise I lose the port option. A stomp like that on an ele is extremely unlikely (I'd told a few vT people I was trying to do it and we weren't convinced it was possible even if on paper it is). The fear is mainly why lich has a place. The lifesteal is also really nice especially with the accompanied vitality transfer it gives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using Lich in the past but have since swapped to Plaguelands for the area denial.They're both pretty mediocre for power builds tbh ( and I mostly play core power ), but Lich is nice for the mind games. I find if people don't at least back off a little bit, you still get a nice health boost and Stability to buy time for Shroud cooldown(s). Plaguelands is particularly nice for the panic inducing condition bomb with Blinds and Poison being some of those conditions, two very nice debuffers. It actually does decent power damage as well if you can lock them in it, or if they try to face tank it.Flesh Golem is probably the best elite for core ( not that I think you need to be taking advice here, just making conversation ), but I personally find it too unreliable.

I completely agree though. Plaguelands is the most consistent elite, golem should be best (but the cast time for use is meh and it feels like it just gets blown up whenever I've tried to recently). Usually I go plaguelands and if I'm duo with loyal on his soulbeast we combo plaguelands and his binding roots elite. Gives us a nice punish on enemies.

Helly.2597 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/531694088 No youtube video this Sunday cause I already put out a few this week. But if anyone was interested in the live comms/a longer fight (though we did have a number of pugs) this clip was a good north camp fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly.2597 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 New video is out. Mostly core necro (80%) with some power rev. Same build as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EremiteAngel.9765 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Watching them go after you guys repeatedly in waves reminded me of my own experience when fighting vT lol.We usually don't succeed the first time, so we respawn, call for more players to help and try again.Keep respawning and gathering numbers until we outnumbered you guys like 3 to 1 and then we will win XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
