Alright! You guys have given me a lot of great ideas and I've had time to really work some of them out! Thanks! Now, A) gw2skills.net all of you use it to display your builds. Other than giving you a "link" to display your build, does it tell you anything else? B) I've been grouping with the wife (a ranger) and I've been playing (scourge, of course) support/heals. I'm using Signet of Vampirism and Signet of Undeath. But I am unhappy with my other three slot/choices (currently: spectral ring, well of suffering, and Ghastly Breath (of course). What do you suggest? Support for the Wife (did that work?) I have a C and D question <lol> but I will save them... Thanks!!

Most sites suggest (for Condi Scourge) that you take Soul Reaping. With the following: Gluttony > Unyielding Blast > Sinister Shroud > Soul Barbs > Soul Battery > Dhuumfire But as "Scourge" you give up Death Shroud for "Manifest Sand Shade". Q: is that correct? If I'm going to stick to Soul Reaper, wouldn't : Gluttony > Soul Marks > Sinister Shroud > Fear of Death > Soul Battery > Eternal Life Be a better choice, because I'm shroudless? Thanks! 🙂

I just opened Verdant Brink. I don't have a mount as I have only recently started playing and this was my next "story". Q: the night time event where you end up fighting the dragon on the can-of-pee of the zone, is there a "Treasure" for completing this kill? I've now participated in this three times and have yet to find a chest. I do get EXP. I'm thinking like world bosses like the "Fire Elemental" a lootable chest... Q: how many times per night does the dragon appear? Q: since I'm working on "Gliding"; to unlock "Stealth Gliding" I need a boatload of EXP and 5 Mastery Points. Are the MPs for all this training (Gliding + Itzel) all on this single map? Can I earn exp and/or MPs on other maps and apply it to this training? Thanks!!

Thank you!!! Notes/Comments: My "Scourge" trait(?) is currently locked at straight through the middle due to lack of scourge training. Once I get more training points it "will" change. I did find the web site "Snow Crows" and their Condi Scourge build is in my list. "GW2meta.com" leads to "metabattle" and I (think) I have 3 condi scourge builds from them... Oh, and I just found a website -> Hardstuck. I have no idea what builds they might have, yet 🙂 My weapons are now Scepter/Torch & Staff I just found out that I have "unlocked" two more build tabs on my Hero! So... I have a new non-minion build -> HERE I will test this and the three you suggested. The Synergy of the traits still elude me which makes building difficult. With this build my rotation is... difficult for me to keep up: 3,4,5,1,2,F1 or something instead of my lazy 1,2,3,4... and using the "F" to interact with things is hard to remember 😛 This is a great help!

All right! This is a great start! 🙂 Swapping out my Axe for a wand... hmm.. but I so like it! <lol> Done! Swapped whatever that was for "Terror". Got to admit, I don't understand those... "Traits", right? Traits. I have to keep "Scourge". But you sound like I just swap "Death" out for one of the others? What would you recommend? Also, I wouldn't mind dumping the minions (I'm not really fond of them), but I don't understand the traits and the builds I've seen aren't explained. Players say "do this" for "max DPS". I might not need to min/max but I do understand needing a bit more DPS. I don't seem able to get a non-minion build to work (I know <sigh> user error)<lol> I'm trapped in Verdant Brink without a mount and it looks like I'll be here awhile, so being able to hit things harder would be nice. kk.. and GW2Meta.com was not something I saw... off to the interwebs to checker it out! Thanks!!! 😄 Bloknar the delusionaly tall Asuran Necro

Hello! I'm new around here but I came here for some advice :) My name is Bloknar, I'm a Necro and I'm learning Scourge (I don't know why, it just happened). I need to know if my build is "okay" and what I can do to tune it a bit better for Solo Open World Roaming. I doubt my guild will ever take me on a raid. I don't know what WvW is. I will not PvP. I have no idea what "Fractals" are. and I don't know how to get groups for Dungeons. But fear not!! I am happy with the open world content! I just want to "be all I can be" (Yes, the Asura have a defense force)! I stumbled upon ArcDPS, got it installed and fingered out how to get a screenshot. http://www.tai-tastigon.com/Files/ArcDPS-Nvidia-1.PNG My ArcDPS Screenshot I have not finished training up Scourge, so currently I can change nothing in the trait -> Yet! Currently I primarily use Staff and Axe/Torch. I like the AoE of the Staff for when I am running after mounted players while I try and do events. The Axe/Torch thing just sort of happened as I worked up to 80. Well, the torch is cause I'm Scourge and can. My armor is ALL Trailblazer (don't ask, it's embarrassing) and yes I'll switch to Viper when I can afford/craft it. OH! And currently I have the minions. So, the question! What can I do to play better as an Open World Roamer Scourge Necro with delusions of tallness? Thank you!
