Finally a new video!

Ehi it's just been a week :D

[@marschantescorcio1778]

I suspect dual swords are going to change reaper and Necro in general quite a bit. Greatsword being Reaper's trademark is a little sad because outside of skills #4 and #5 and situational usage of #2 the rest is lackluster. With barrier scourge now using greatsword let them handle the pulls and strip field. Dual swords are potentially a good replacement for a number of reasons: you have range on both weapon sets and the double mobility it offers means you can get to your target without having to go into shroud and #2. Drop wells, sword leap to target > shroud (and procs) > usual DPS > #2 to chase ≥ leave shroud > second sword leap back to group or at another target. Necro won the Soto weapon reveal lottery.

[@metallonegw2283]

Yeah swords seem to have interesting skills, but we also gotta see numbers (damage/range/cooldown) . And don't forget that we are just getting a beta of the new weapons , not the whole release, which will happen like at the end of february 2024

[@pingwin4076]

@@metallonegw2283 in beta swords were shit, low dmg, high hp cost, so we can only hope they are going to change them :D

[@NikolaBudinov]

Have you ever tried running Sigil of Fire on your Greatsword? I've been testing it quite a bit and sometimes after the zerg fight I have 7-8k damage from it, sometimes I have even more. So I think this is a very good option.

[@metallonegw2283]

I didn't, i think having a flat 5% damage increase from sigil of force is overall better

[@NikolaBudinov]

I am using both, Sigil of Force + Fire. Give it a try. Let me know what you think@@metallonegw2283

[@snakeman830]

I would still use Force over Fire. It overall adds more damage and Fire will eat up unblockable stacks.

[@Sandroxyz]

my stats with scholar runes and mix of mostly assassin and mara+dragon with Scholar runes-> power 2417 crit chance-> 79.23%(without fury) 233% crit dmg, 22,672 health

[@metallonegw2283]

Better crit damage and similar power/hp

[@JH-vb1wo]

I played but 10 hours in wvw as lol 80 necro but without elite skill and I got my butt whooped, then I studied many videos and combos and now I use greatsword reaper with staff and I am melting people. As long as I keep staying on top of them grinding away usually they can't get out of it and it's great, in zerg mode I have to play smarter and pick and chose what I do because I notice when I get close and start melting someone their team will quickly try to take me out. So when I start feeling out numbered or want to play safe I'll get back and use staff and spam wells and skills and it seems to work much better since I started using a build like yours. I haven't tried axe or dagger so I have to play around with it. The thing I don't like is this game is hard to rig up a controller and if I want to be successful in wvw I have to push many buttons, swap weapons, in and out of shrouds and the layout of buttons is rough and mistakes can be made but practice makes perfect

[@metallonegw2283]

Never tried a controller, however necro doesn't have too many buttons to press, you just need to get used to it ;)

[@indorr]

When it comes to controls it's all about the muscle memory.its all happening almost itself.im using couple of skills with mouse.not just moving/looking around.

[@Akimbolappen]

Problem with the relic is that you cant really controll when it procs , since once you start stacking it you get stacks automatically. If you could somehow time it to get the effect in the burstphase it would be much better imo.

[@metallonegw2283]

Very true, but it's kinda easy to build stacks and have it up for most of the fight

[@Akimbolappen]

I actually tried it in a raid today and it felt better than i expected. Good suggestion, ty :)

[@Sandroxyz]

29:10 arc padding at its finest :D . As a Necro main this is my go to build as-well albeit im using assassin +dragon gear+scholar and I have 75% crit chance which is fine with food and fury will get too close to 100%

[@gangrel1234]

Doesn’t the one trait give some crit chance?

[@summerlover9299]

What weapon/s can I use instead of greatsword? I really feel is too slow and if the group moves skill 4 goes to waste.

[@metallonegw2283]

Sadly, there is not much choice. I always loved staff with unblockable marks trait on soulreaping, skill 4 being an aoe unblockable big damage dealer. I don't like much GS either, but skill 4 and 5 are kinda strong

[@summerlover9299]

Ty for your reply! Fan of your builds 🙂!@@metallonegw2283

[@Murphen1245]

What do u think about Mabon Relic in this build?

[@metallonegw2283]

I don't think the 25% might buff is worth losing all the stacks when there are relics which offer more and with 0 downsides. Also, imagine your supports prestack might before a fight, you could lose that might before the fight even starts. And even if timed properly, i doubt 25% more might effectiveness is better than some other relics.

[@Murphen1245]

Thx for the info :D@@metallonegw2283

[@cjttruelife]

you don't get weakness n stabilty if you don't hit the enemies , but hitting the enemies also means u stun them ...the two go hand in hand

[@metallonegw2283]

Mind to elaborate?

[@sirarumanlyman]

If we die, will our items drop or disappear in WvW?

No, lol.
