you know that champ mob in the domain of vabbi in the protection bubble you need to fight for skyscale? I solo'd that on reaper. I used a Blood, SR, Reaper build, and it took a while because it has a ton of HP, but I did it.

I used to be a necro main. Then Anet killed wells for absolutely no reason and gave is a GM trait to replace the well trait that is useless in 99.99% of situations and then made scourge a joke. Now I main Weaver and Renegade. Weaver is an awesome duelist which is something that I had going on reaper pre-well nerfs (yes I played well reaper for dueling). Power renegade is also really fun and survives longer than I expected.

The best way I've found to use LB on DH is to us it in your sword circle trap combo. Pretty much the combo goes: 1) lay trap 2) Us spear of justice only pull to trigger IF they are too far for GS pull 3) use GS 5 to pull (or spear if at higher range) and spring trap 4) use LB 2 and 3 for damage and to push trough blade wall 5) pull back through wall with GS 5 or spear I will admit this is a bit of a unicorn combo and requires no evades or Stab. Otherwise longbow is kinda meh at best on DH

I'm pretty sure the metabattle build is full berserker, scholar runes. So healing/barrier is poopy, but big dps and boon strips and some cleanse. Alternatively you could run celestial armor, weapons, amulet and either grieving or viper's rings, accessories and back or just full celestial. Unfortunately, you cant be good at dps and healing unless you run a condi variant with a mix of apothecary/witchdoctor/etc. and even then it's not amazing at either. You can do the boon strip and cleansing with a dps build, but healing/high barrier is a no go.

You can't play a class that is centralized in mobility, stealth, and single target damage with essentially rat urine supporting ability and expect to be welcomed to a group synergy boon fiesta. Thats not to say the boon fiesta is a good thing, but thief's talents lie in the small scale environment...

I'd love one, but it'd have to be an overloaded traitline (traits are too strong compared to other classes) to make up for the complete lack of supporting ability in core thief.

Just from my experience with reaper, firebrand (condi/hybrid), and weaver they would be far too strong. Reaper would be able to take spite, blood, SR and reaper which is sustain (not as good without well trait) on top of beeg damage. Weaver yould be able to take fire, weaver, Arcane and any of the other 3 for bigger damage or sustain (and hybrid fire weaver needs neither of those things). Lastly, Imagine the standard burn guard, with all of the added bonuses that firebrand gives, like axe, quickness etc.

Why are people still looking for necro nerfs? Necro has too few viable builds as it has lost too many good skills and traits. Like i dropped necro entirely because i play wvw and the like 2 strong buids for small scale arent very fun, and necro gets kited to easily... How's about we as a community start looking for Anet to buff classes that are under performing and promote more build diversity. Necro has almost a whole elite spec (RIP scourge) because of the "waaaaaah nerf this because owwwy" mentality.

Fergusson's Crossing is pretty good. Most of the bigger guilds seem pretty chill. Though sometimes the guilds that are running are match-up dependent

I honestly hope it gets a condi focused spec with hammer

I want a condi focused elite spec for necro thats not peepee poopoo. Bonus points if they give us new weapons altogether.

This is the Firebrand I use in WvW. I use it to PUG blob and to roam http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWABc6x3lRwkYgsP2IOqTrvaA-zRRYhhJG7DpRRQmShKUAWcWEUZD-e You can swap Judge's intervention and the invuln for stand your ground and the mantra elite when blobbing.

I've been rocking this build and have been loving it. It has very high 1v1 potential and does well in small groups http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PGgAw2lZwiYPsLmJOSXavbA-zRpYLBhUF2VQgkBFYGNIryIzEo3CQvZRQlN-e

I actually came to GW2 for WvW specifically. The only disappointment is the dev team kekw

you've obviously never played flamethrower scrapper in PvP. play it for a while and then try to say that again with a straight face lmao.

For reals tho, Anet hasgiven up on PvP and WvW and is dumping everything into story and PvE

Paperest of paper Eles complains about getting one bopped. Its your build. 100%. There are so many Weaver builds that work in WvW, that are all over the place. Literally copy pasta that until you know enough to make your own. Also realize that the Eles that survive on paper builds and 1v3 are people who know this class better than their own mother. Ele is a very high skill ceiling class with a decently elevated skill floor. Take your time to learn skills, combos and proper reactions. I have about 230 hrs on Ele and I'm still learning the class lol.

One could argue that thief needs to be hit further. The fact that its the most mobile class, with the most stealth, no cooldowns on weapon skills, with one of the highest burst combos AAAAND deadeye can 1) have infinite initiative if they have half a brain 2) remove the one counterplay mechanic to stealth 3) get stealth on dodge. If you ask me you got off LUCKY. Thief is overloaded and if it did anything more than be a 1v1 machine in WvW it would be in blobs everywhere.

See response to Brimstone Jack In the same respect, stealth could be pointed to as a mechanic that can withhold TOO MUCH information as it removes telegraphs and other info. If you want to see visual clutter, go play WvW and go zerg fighting. Its not nearly as bad as it could be.

Keep in mind ESO has something similar to WvW... and it keeps frames reasonable with a good but dated LAPTOP.

I too would Like a relink. We just had some donkey tag pass up a paper keep with the outer walls down to attept a shot at T3 garri, pull the defense blob, and wipe. Like it was 4 of us who knocked the walls down but we needed like 3 more people to contest effectively... But noooooooo, 15 people can take T3 garri at NA prime no sweat....

The trade off to minions is you dont have a stunbreak or a big condi clear. You also cant team fight well on a minionmancer because AOE damage is to high for the buggers. If you're trying to 1v1 a minionmancer, you deserve to get wrecked.

As much as I hate to promote Thief, its condi core build is pretty fun. Firebrand or core Guard are also strong. Condi druid is really difficult to fight for melee classes and Soulbeast is pretty strong too.

Are you looking for roaming or zerging? If you're roaming go to vallun's power renegade build and change some things so you have a little more armor and health If you're zerging go to meta battle and hit that copy and paste on either hammer backline or the alacrity renegade.

If you're losing to a reaper you're letting it get to close. If you're doing that as a ranger you probably need a build change. And yes if you let the melee damage machine go BRRRRRRRR on a class deisgned for range superiority.... well.... ooof.
