For anyone else looking to gear up for this build check out Tahlkora's armor its on the trading post. Its cheaper than shamans gear with the same stats and comes pre-loaded with runes of mercy.

As someone who will want to play Scourge this was a huge help, not to mention a damn fun watch :). Thanks as always you Global Icon and Brand Ambassador.

I came from diablo 3, now I'm stuck between D3 and GW2, the concept of the fight system is mind blowing compared to D3, it's way harder to learn and hard to master. But, people like you are the reason I can test new builds, thank you

[@birdfloyd]

MukLuk! You make great videos keep it up. You have so many great builds. I enjoy the humor you slip in. Your comments and stand on building towards fun and not that .01% is my favorite. A friend and I started a guild based on this ideal. We are just starting out and we are trying to recruit people with that same mind set of lets play PvE and explore all the build variations out there and just have fun with it. Don't have to run the Meta going to squeeze every single DPS point out of every single class and if you are 2 DPS points low then the build is no good. Anyway, thanks for the videos!

[@ItsASleepySheepy]

This is a really interesting video! I've been playing healscourge for a bit now and I really enjoy it, but I've been running the dagger+torch/warhorn variant with Sand Flare. It's a little more DPS focused, probably because I got the build off of Snowcrows, but this definitely looks like a great option for just leaning into a full support variant. Once I finish off a condi damage build I might pivot back to this and give it a shot.

[@two-tonedbandit9348]

I already know about scourge. I just wanted to see how entertaining this would be. I was not disappointed, at all. Spooky muk is imposter Also that ending was stupid, make more.

jeez I LOL'd at the end harder then I tought I would. 10/10 ninja vanish redeem

[@ekisgatvol6979]

Wow, great vid Muk!! 2 thumbs up! Never knew scourge can be this supportive. Tried the build and it seems to work just great. Only I am running with full ascended Viper stats, took me forever to craft because it's so expensive. When I'm done with my Bitfrost (about 75% done) I will be working on a new set of Shaman's gear. If only gold grew on trees lol. Keep the great content coming!!

It actually kind of makes sense that the Necro is the party "healer" a necro raises the dead, why does that not include your dead party members in most mmos.

[@wsrtwetr]

This is God tier when running silverwaste reduce so much frustration from other people dying

[@GeneralAblon]

This is great! Even learned some things. I tend to main reaper, but i give scourge a go from time to time. Also, anyone who played scourge in pvp a couple seasons ago, I freaking hate you..... Condi's are gradual damage, my BUTT. If you lack resistance or sufficient condi cleanse, or a freakin ton of self healing, you cannot counter condi damage. It is supposed to pick up more slowly and be better in prolonged fights for balancing, but really, the times I have been burst hardest was against condi spam, be it scourge, or mallyx revenant. It even caused me to change my main for a bit in pvp, from whatever I felt like, to bunker druid.

[@deadtotheworld00]

Can't wait to try!

[@joaoxkira]

Thank you SO MUCH for your videos, they are very informative, helpful and funny. I have difficulties to build a decent scourge... until now

[@im_Dafox]

I've been maining mirage for over a year and wanted to try something more "support-oriented" for once. This video combined with the meta-battle build teached me so much ! I've been maining Support Scourge for over a month now and I simply love it, so thank you so much :) -Nobody dies okay ?!

[@firby7341]

i just tried this today and its the best support scourge build i have tried so far =D really great sustain, nice rezzing in open world events and it still feels like im doing dmg thanks to the condi stats! before, i tried magi but i like shaman more now =D ty for the video

[@veryberry39]

I'm taking a break from my normal mmo to try this out, and as my boyfriend put it, it feels like trying to drink from a firehose. I was all about raiding in previous mmos, but I'm so bad at this game that all I can imagine are people telling me I suck and booting me from groups. I haven't tried any dungeons (outside the story, that is), and two-manned an easy fractal with the bf (who did most of the work). My natural tendency is to play healers, so I just got my HPs and Masteries to try Support Scourge last week. I figure in open world, I can practice as much as I need to and I won't be letting anyone down when I mess up. But even though you explained beautifully, I still feel really intimidated and lost. >

[@silentghost6598]

that's the pretty much the same build i have too, but i need to change afew things, thx for the update!!

[@tombocai]

this is very interesting, but also a bit overwhelming and feels like a lot of resposability xD I just got enought hero points for scourge yesterday, so I think I'll probably try condi scourge first, to get used to the way the F1-5 skills work, and then try to learn support, cause I'm afraid it's too much at once and will just let people die.

[@darksypha9711]

i replayed the ending 10 times and died laughing every time. PRECIOUS! XD

[@AlexZurek]

Reminds me of the "Thinking Man's Scourge" build that MightyTeapot posted awhile ago, but with more of an emphasis on conditions. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@MuklukYoutube]

To be transparent, you aren't going to top damage meters with this, not using curses and no expertise, but it has enough condi damage that your epidemic can kill stuff while you are healing which is a lot of fun.

[@cambeul]

Just want add if it has not been mentioned, if you are going to die either to a Mob or a Mechanic you can precast Well of Blood at your feet, and when you die, your Well will begin to Res you

TANK mesmer guide. I get the dualing greatsword boon generator build, but how do I taaaaank with it?

[@RainbowSkyDancer]

@@derrickperry6842 tanking is more about a) not dying b) positioning . If the tank can either heal or do massive boons, or both, so much the better. I chronotank and have a build I use that produces and maintains massive boons. I'll switch the gear stats as needed (some I'll go full minstrel's, some I'll go more DPS [commander's for power and concentration])

[@RainbowSkyDancer]

@@derrickperry6842 I wouldn't do GS, I'd do sw/sh and usually camp sw/fc for VG for seeker control, and others. Twin Largos I do sc/sh off pistol for cc and damage. (Just some examples)

[@CandysChannel]

Can a Core Necromancer provide some sort of support or is it more effective to stick with DPS for leveling? My Necro is only level 31.

[@MuklukYoutube]

I'd say mostly dps while leveling. You have a lot of survivability with the "2nd health bar" shroud provides.

Why is the build in the video description practically empty??

[@brittneydonegal4611]

Hey ! sadly i cant decide for the gear ! Can you help me ? 1° full magi, 2° full shaman, 3° full plague and 4° mix shaman/marshall ? idk if i prefer one full support or a hybrid :/

I've seen the plaguedoctor's build. I should go play on gw2build to see what sort of stats I can get with a mix of PD and shaman's

[@Arilozen]

Came for the guide, died at the end. Need a revive pls.

[@williamfortner8476]

plaguedoctor gear?

[@reson8]

@@MuklukKZbin I found the semi-shaman/marshal gear was higher dps than plaguedoctor, tho i use sceptre/torch-warhorn (for breakbar) or dagger/torch-warhorn (for tanking). Staff just isn't a dps weapon.

I have tried both PD and marshal armor using scourge runes. Not sure which is better over all. I was running a shaman mix but just found better dmg out using PD or marshal.

[@reson8]

@@williamfortner8476 I'm using the snowcrows build with some tweaks (sceptre for range, swapping utils depending on encounter etc) and sigil of water really appreciates the crit from marshals.

[@williamfortner8476]

@@reson8 i have thaught about that with marshals because scourge does lack in heals so the sustained small heals become very noticeable with all the barrier scourge provides.

Hi any updates on this build? isnt plaguedoctor better now? is this still viable?

Used it today to do a boneskinner, it still works fine, and plaguedoctor is also a viable gear set for a similar build.

[@ohwhatworld5851]

What is shamans gear like for open world / story? Is the damage ok? Can I do bounties in it if I change some traits?

[@MuklukYoutube]

Its a safe choice, consistant medium damage and healing. You can kill faster with vipers gear if that is your goal.

[@sonshi874]

Can we have a newer version of this? Thx alot

[@MasterRStreets]

dat ending XDD do more

[@jetsimmer]

Normally when you rez someone you use the F Key, while you are near them. Do you still have to use the F key when using the F1 thru F5 Shroud Keys? In other words when using Transfusion with the F4 key {Garish Pillar). Does Garish Pillar automatically heal/rez them or does it just pull them to you so that you can use the F key to rez them? Do you have to Target someone to rez them or do the Shroud Skill Target Downed players "automatically"?

[@MuklukYoutube]

When you use transfusion it pulls them and pulses "revive" but you can still press F to start reviving them WITH the pulses to revive them much faster.

Just start playing this week and really enjoy the game, I start with Elementalist but I might pick Necro cuz of this vid cuz it looks more fun to me. BTW, do you ever considered making Scourge guild for Open World Solo or WvW? If not what do you suggest changing for those contents? If I start now, what is the best trait I should pick 1st when levelling?

While leveling I think any necro build with minions makes things easier, giving you lots of time to try out the different skills and traits safely.
