GW2. Best Open World Builds. Chill Minion Master Reaper. Necromancer PvE 2022.
Last Update: July 29
Overview
With Lich Runes and the “Rise!” shout, Reapers can generate the most amount of minions which when they eventually die will explode and create poison fields which can be used with whirl finishers from Greatsword 2 and Shroud 4. Chills will also slow down enemies and give bleeding, which come from Shroud 5, Staff 3, Casting the Shadow Fiend’s active ability, and the Hydromancy sigil.
Skill Rotation:
Shadow Fiend Active > Staff 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > Swap > Greatsword 5 > 3 > 4 > “Rise!” > Enter Shroud > Shroud 5 > 4 > 2 > 3

Aaaaah, an oldie but a goodie. This is one of my favorite builds. Funny, almost ALL of my favorite builds are minionmancer builds. XD
I’m ****** enough to have try that in WvW, as people always try to kill your minions you end up in funny situation sometimes where the guy trying to assault you is already 50% hp. Even tho it’s stated as an openworld build it kinda works ngl
I sometimes go heal scourge with minions for LOLs. Fun to just play around with!
Thank you for posting a rotation! As a newer GW2 player, having this helps a ton when using a new build.
Is it still viable with Trailblazer gear?
