GW2. WvW Build. Power Harbinger Roaming Build. Harbinger. Necromancer World vs World.
Last Update: March 2024
The Power Harbinger is a mobile and aggressive approach to necromancer WvW roaming with extreme susceptibility to focus but high mobility and burst. The Sword leap and Speed Relic are very important for keeping you alive, and knowing when to disengage is important to avoid being focused.
All of the Shroud 2/3/4 abilities have high power scaling, especially the 3 and 4 when they exchange blight for extra damage. Make sure to cast Elixirs at your feet to gain more blight before doing your Shroud burst. Try to land your Dagger 3 to remove boons and to immobilize enemies so you can follow up with these powerful Shroud abilities.
Shroud 4 is an evade and a Daze tied to a leap, so choosing whether to be aggressive or defensive with this skill is key. If you go too hard and have no escapes you can easily die. Always try to have an escape whether it is through the mobility of your Sword or Shroud skills or Spectral Walk.
Basic Combo: Dagger 2 > Dagger 3 > Elixir of Ambition > Shroud 2 > 3 > 4
Use Sword 3 to kite in between your burst combo to get distance if you are in danger or to chase a pressured target. Keep poking with Sword skills and use the Sword 4 to pressure while kiting due to its ability to cast it behind you.

Is this still only good tier build?
Its a good build but we still require more time to test how to perform against other new builds, it takes a while to define the meta. WvW and PvP builds always need extensive playtest time to know if its really good or not, its not that simple as pve where you only test in a golem, you know what I mean.
Gotcha! Thanks for the reply! =)
