GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Reaper Roaming Build. Blood Reaper. Necromancer World vs World.
Last Update: October 2023
The Celestial Reaper is a hybrid necromancer build that can take down even the most survivable enemies because of its boon corruption and debilitating conditions like weakness and chill. It also has heavy condition damage bursts, but these may be hard to land on more mobile enemies.
Curses is great hybrid and synergistic trait line because of the precision to condition damage conversions. Reaper also provides synergy with chill because fear applies chill and chill applies bleeding. This works well with the Ghost Pepper Popper food buff which applies chill during night time or might during the day for more damage.
With the combination of Weakening Shroud and the Hydromancy/Geomancy sigils on your Dagger/Warhorn triggering when entering into shroud, you can gain plenty of bleeding in one button press. Since this provides so much bleeding it can also trigger the Relic of the Fractal which adds even more damaging conditions, resulting in a condition bomb. Always try to enter Shroud in melee range. Using “You Are all Weaklings” right before Shroud will improve the bomb damage.
Basic Combo: Warhorn 5 > 4 > Dagger 3 > Shroud > 2 > 3 > 3 > 5 > 4 > 2
Use the healing skill off cooldown to always build Life Force.
