GW2. Raid Build. Support Scourge. Support Alacrity Scourge. Necromancer PvE.
Last Update: November 2024
Role: Support
The Support Scourge is a necromancer build with the least healing out of all supports, but with great protective capability with Barriers and can Revive allies quickly. While on paper it sounds suboptimal, when played well in an actual scenario, it often performs well at stopping unnecessary deaths and correcting mistakes, often resulting in success more often when things go wrong.
Provide Alacrity and protect your allies by sharing them Barrier. Placing your Sand Shades (F1) on distant allies and then standing where most allies are stacked will allow you the most barrier application when you use your F3 and F5.
Dodging will also provide regeneration to your allies from the Mark of Blood, which is important to upkeep as it will heal your allies while your barriers keep them protected. Otherwise keep using the Pistol and Torch skills to deal damage.
Revival Sources:
- F + Heal Well, Signet of Undeath
Barrier Sources:
- F1, F3, F5
CC – Crowd Control Skills:
- Flesh Golem Activate, F4, Warhorn 4, Spectral Grasp, Torch 5, Pistol 3
