Power Harbinger Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Power Harbinger WvW Roaming Build. Necromancer WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.

Role: Assassin

The Power Harbinger is a necromancer WvW roaming build with a more aggressive approach that has extreme susceptibility to focus but high mobility and burst. The Sword leaps 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 which will heal you over time, and all healing converts to barrier due to the Blood Bank trait, protecting you long enough to get your damage out.

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, Shroud skills, or Spectral Walk.

Basic Rotation

• Sword 2 > 4 > 5 > 4 > 5 > 3 > Swap
• Spear 4 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 5 > Enter Shroud
• Shroud 3 > 4 > 5 > 2 > 111

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, then go for the burst combo with Spear 4, if it lands you can port to your target and instantly immobilize them with the Spear 3 which will trigger your Celerity sigil and allow you to deal massive damage with the fully charged Spear 2 with quickness.

Alternatives

• Weapon: Replace Spear with Axe/Focus for more ranged pressure but less mobility.
• Sigil: instead of Celerity
• Relic: instead of Speed for more sustain and smaller fights

Alternatives

• Harbinger: for a bit more damage but less survivability.

Variants

• Death Magic instead of Soul Reaping for more sustain and survivability but much less utility and damage.
