    Condition Harbinger Quickness DPS Build

    By Vallun20 March, 2022Updated:4 February, 20258 Comments3 Mins Read Raid Builds

    GW2. Raid Build. Condition Harbinger Quickness DPS Build. Necromancer PvE. Group PvE Build.


    Role: DPS

    The Condition Harbinger Quickness DPS is a necromancer build with ranged damage potential and versatility, making it a good choice in many situations. Also with the powerful Elixir of Ambition, it can give its team every boon at the start of a fight to eliminate ramp-up time. However, it can be a risky option due to the vitality it loses. In return, it gains plenty of CC, easy damage, and the option to give plenty of boons, like quickness to its allies passively.

    Use all elixirs at your feet to gain boons and Blight. The Blight lasts 25 seconds and will give damage modifiers while stacked and enables your Shroud skills to do massive bursts in exchange for Blight stacks. Try to fit both your weapon set skills in between your Shroud cooldown, prioritizing the highest damaging skills first and skipping the others if Shroud is ready.


    Out of Shroud Skill Priority:

    • Use all elixirs at your feet (Only use Heal elixir at the start of a fight to boost blight)
    • Blood is Power > Dagger 4 (or enter Shroud)
    • Signet of Spite
    • Enter Shroud when available
    • Scepter 3/2
    • Torch 4/5
    • Pistol 2/3
    • Dagger 5

    Inside Shroud Skill Priority:

    • Shroud 2
    • Shroud 4/3 (prevent Blight from reaching 25 stacks, and try to use all stacks before leaving Shroud)
    • Shroud 1
    • Leave Shroud after Shroud 2 if you won’t last long enough to get another 2 cast

    CC – Crowd Control Skills:

    • Shroud 5, Shroud 4, Pistol 3, Torch 5, Flesh Golem, Spectral Grasp

    NOTE: Harbinger as a purely DPS role focuses more on rotating in and out of Shroud rather than camping Shroud to give out quickness.

        Yes it will work, but if you feeling squishy while solo then you can try this one: https://guildjen.com/harbinger-open-world-build/

      Heya! Two questions:

      1. Do I need to have two daggers as off-hand or is one sufficient as suggested daggers are the same anyway?

      2. Does it matter if the sigils are correctly inserted? Currently my pistol has torment runes/Scepter has torment runes and vice versa?

      Thanks!

        use the same dagger in both, it’s just there to avoid further confusion

      I lag so I need to be able to take a couple hits would it be alright to swap out for trailblazers?

      Why Corrosive Poison Cloud to another elixir? I’m new to Harb and appreciate the guide!

        I meant to say: “Why Corrosive Poison Cloud and not another elixir?”
        Thanks!
