Tips or advice for a scourge in wvw?

[EMTDJ.9042]

Hey everyone,

I used to main necro and scourge in PVE. When I transitioned back to WVW I played other classes, usually support, and wanted to start playing my scourge again.

Below is my build, with slight variations for roaming, commanding, or being in a zerg. Any tips or advice for playing the class? Any variations for scenarios like commanding or roaming that you would suggest? Any strategies or tactics you use that could be of help?

Thats pretty much copy-paste of the metabattle cele scourge build, with curses instead of spite. Spam shades and f skills when in zergs, nothing more to scourge, really...

Yeah just faceroll the keyboard. That's what I do on my scourge and I kill stuff anyway.

use skills as need. dont spam and you'll kill more, surive more even with less players.

I would change dhuumfire into crit hit in Shroud en press F5 before the main zerg fight and watch people die. But it's not needed perse.

Same. Im not even paying attention half the time. Netflix and scourge.

scourge is the braindead bane of wvw, just roll your face on your keyboard and collect your loot while your enemies either reroll to scourge, deinstall the game, or blissfully fulfill their masochistic needs

Use your allies as meat shields and buffer them with barrier. Stay behind enough to maneuver for big pull outs. Don't be afraid to dump aoe diarrhea everywhere, you will generate enough lf regardless of your build if you dump it on a bunch of people. Don't be a frog in boiling water, just be aware of your position, use sand swell and f5 if you in big doodoo or caught out of position. Scourge is mostly a set-it-and-forget-it build that you can actually be doing something else while clicking buttons randomly [just pay attention to your positioning and you don't need to worry much]. Also hang around other scourge, fbrand and revs.

Haha the feedback is so funny. Scourge is perfect for blobfest.

Scourge is the pinnacle of dynamic, fun and skillful class design.
