WvW necro

I don't see many of us playing the Cloth Tank in WvW.   Here's what I'm running most nights.

It's lot of marks and wells with traited cooldowns, basically.  In ground vs ground fights, I like to try to plant all seven of them behind the enemy's front line and get them divided from their backline.  In fort assaults, they're perfect for lining the perimeter of the enemy's wall, and getting repairers away from the door.  In defenses, I plant them from up top wherever I can reach, and from behind the door the wells can eat up battering rams.

Lichform is for more marks, and and in assaults it's a good way to get minions on top of their wall to cause a little chaos.  It's auto attack is really nice damage, too, and makes a good dent in canons on the wall.  When I'm running back from a way point or playing in a small group, I might swap it out for Plague Form as a second uh-oh button after Death Shroud runs out.

That looks like a pretty solid build, one I wouldnt mind trying out on my necro when I get higher. How is your damage? the build you linked doesnt have any runes slotted so I dont know what kind of gear setup you are going for.

It's definitely not bursty, and it pretty much all DoT damage. Some of the DoT's do tick 550 to 600 damage , but others are just lots of 20's and 30's. It's difficult to gauge it all together; the lifestealing from the wells tick separate from the normal damage, so there's a lot of scattered numbers on screen. It's an effective build in WvW when it fails to do damage because enemies run around it, too. Forcing opponents to avoid red circles is huge in WvW, and gives your team an advantage pushing forward. Just keep scattering marks and wells agressively all over the place, especially behind the enemy's front line of players, and don't worry so much about whether someone actually triggers them. If your circles are still on the ground after the enemy is gone, you did your job. For gear, I'm just getting 42k karma gear optimized as much it can be for toughness, conditions, and power. I'm not a crafter and I'm not a grinder. WvW gives insane amounts of karma, so I can earn a few different suits of 42k pieces quickly this way.

I may have to try that build out next time I'm in WvW. I'm not really properly kitted out for WvW one day maybe lol.

This is great. I had been dropping my wells and marks on top of each other. Had not considered the avoidance factor. Muahahahahahaha!

Great explanation of your build, Kale. I love the avoid-the-circles enemy herding tactic, very clever!

Something else I've learned to do with this build is throw marks an wells behind me as I'm running away from a zerg. This is so much fun! If you're caught alone, and need to flee, you can spam your stuff on the ground at your own feet and the enemies will have to trip all over your trash to pursue. The staff and scepter marks (you need to weapon swap) include a cripple, a chill, and a fear, and they are all traited for fast cooldowns. Combined with Death Shroud, Plague Form, the Locust Swarm, and all those necro health points (we have so much) I can run away from groups of 10+ enemies even after they've snared me a couple times. With the accelerated cooldowns, you basically always have another getaway tool to spam nonstop. I imagine a pursuer stepping on my my fear mark, turning tail in fear, and his buddy behind him thinks he saw a zerg rendered and turns to run, too. They must go out of their minds pushing through all those condition traps.

That sounds like a great time, Kale! I might have to start working more on my Necro.

You might enjoy this video. It's a necro taking out a large string of bot farmers in W3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlIbXAzi1QU Now that looks fun!
