Celestial Scourge Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Scourge WvW Roaming Build. Necromancer WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.

Role: Medic 

Preferred Group Size: 5-15

The Celestial Scourge is a WvW roaming necromancer build with support for its allies. While scourge is generally easy to focus on in small-scale situations, which is why it tends to perform better on large-scale battles, this build allows you to survive with barrier generation, protection uptime, mobility, and immobilization removal. This lets you get value out of the hybrid synergy of celestial with the barrier scaling on healing power, as well as the healing from Staff and the condition damage from Pistol.

Creating and using Sand Shades in chaotic and spread-out fights can be difficult, but try to place your shades on or stand next to your allies to provide them with barrier and cleansing when using your F1-5 abilities.

The Transfusion trait will allow you to heal and support allies from range with the Staff Marks while at the same time pressuring enemies with them. The F4 ability will also create a powerful Chillblains Mark at your location. The Pistol/Warhorn set allows you to pressure enemies further with conditions and CC.

Shroud Skill Priority

• Keep up at least 1 Sand Shade with F1 (to reduce damage taken)
• F2 for Cleanse
• F3 for Barrier
• F4 for CC and Chill/Protection (Chillblains)
• F5 when under pressure (remove immobilize and gain protection)

Staff Skill Priority

• Staff 2 use off cooldown to give Regeneration
• Staff 3 Protects allies and Chills enemies
• Staff 4 Cleanses allies
• Staff 5 gives Stability and Fears enemies

When the staff skills are on cooldown, swap to Pistol to deal some extra pressure condition damage.

Use the Sand Swell to reposition or to corrupt the boons of your target further. Try to keep your life pool high so you can sacrifice life to use the Signet of Undeath to revive allies. Also, you can use barrier to prevent losing health when sacrificing using the Signet of Undeath.
