55hp monk was awesome!!

Hey anyone know what the flying birds on the skill are and how to triger them ?:))

there was a 55hp necro build too

​@@relaxstation1593 it's the staff he's wielding the name of it is called nevermore

Also the name seems apt for a necromancer

I was curious about that. Looking into using a necromancer for a bit, and that was my initial thought.

Its easy AF. Minimal micro managment compared to many other classes. Just pop your elixirs and shoot mobs, on occasion pop into shroud with big burst aoe then pop out and run around mobs peppering them with pistol... rinse repeat. Easy as pie!

its legendary effects of quip and nevermore

legendary weapons can change projectile animations

that's fine, and you can check the separate build pages listed to see more optimized harbinger builds for each game mode (the PvE one already includes vipers as an alternative), but two sets of gear is two sets of gear, if you're "trying out" harbinger you aren't using two sets of gear. As someone who already is experienced with a class, it's very easy to underestimate the learning process, which is why I try to make it as simple as possible.

@@Vallun Been looking for something simple and get my foot in the nerco class and this helps a lot. Keeping it simple for new players and curious player is nice. I can always change up in the future for more optimized build once getting familiar with the class.

if you still wondering or someone else it's due legendary gen2 staff effect for projectiles

i like speed better because i roam aggressively and get outnumbered often, but tormenting definitely has more effect in fair fights

Tormenting used to be sooo OP until they nerfed it to just Regen.

death magic on harbinger is like trying to play a tanky core necro, it's just better done by playing a core necro if you want to be tanky. Harbinger is better at playing to the aggression

I've also used death magic for the sustain. But I find I don't have enough damage and miss the 10 minute timers. But without it I die

@@yusufismail1311 I wonder if axe would help channel life force faster and you could spec condi damage gear and lean into the shroud 1 fire damage

this one works for that

Thanks! 🙂 i just tried necro is so much fun, can't wait to try this elite spec.

Interesting. Don't you find the build squishy against bounty targets? I am running both death and blood magic for sustain with full celestial. Lacking damage severely though

@@yusufismail1311 On the contrary. I find this build quite a bit more tanky than my warrior or guardian and its ALOT easyer to take out many tough mobs with that, where i struggle with melee characters. Allthough, as i mentioned before, it struggles dealing with stuns and knockdowns. If you are facing a mob that does alot of those things it is difficult to keep the condis rolling for sustain. Thing is, you need to constantly apply a lot of condis to keep carapace at 25+ stacks. As long as you can hold them you have permanent 33% damage taken reduction. Also, running around with 20 blight on you will significantly increase your condi damage/healing and ofcource, healing from blight itself helps a lot as well. Viper gear seems to be most optimal with this build as you can just wither mobs down with condi damage by just using 2 skills on your pistol and kiting them around, even the big heavy hitters. Pistol 2+3 skills gives around 25-30 carapace and if you use them on cooldown you shouldnt have much trouble sustaining yourself, given you try to avoid 1 (or 2) shot mechanics. I only use shroud for burst damage/ aoe /defiance break. Its also quite good for kiting dangerous enemies by running around them and just shooting skill 1. I usually just shroud, pop 3 and 4 (5 if needed) shoot 2, pop back out and keep kiting. When opportunity favors me i pop my flasks go to shroud and blast em again. Damage wise, ive gotten ~60 stacks of torment on a mob with burst sequence and it makes quite a lot of damage. Got to pick a right time window though, sometimes i pop shroud, jump in and land on a particularly nasty shit which may or may not kill me. I guess knowledge of various mobs and their skills comes in handy here. In group scenario when you have a healer or someone providing stability/barrier i sometimes find myself not needing to move at all, just face tank and blast. I couldnt really do that with other damage oriented characters that i have.

@@rockmcdwayne1710 I guess I need more practice. The trait that gives carapace stacks on poison doubles down the with grandmaster trait giving you 2 carapace stacks on a poison application instead of one. And there is alot of poison with the elixirs, pistol and shroud 2 with the correct harbinger trait. Have you tried the death magic trait that applies stability on shroud or maybe spectral walk or armor as a stun break?

I found the same, I'd love to take the trait that does burning on shroud 1, but I couldn't get life-force quick enough. I've started running spectral walk and the stability well skill because that give you some condi cleanse and stab/might and 2 stun breaks.

@@MajorHuck yeah, running spectral walk is set in stone in my opinion. You can walk in lava with that skill:D Though in my case, i run 2 elixirs. Combining them with 3rd healing one is only reliable source to get 20 stacks of blight before your burst move. You could rely on elite elixir but the cooldown is too long:S

turn down post processing

@@Vallun didn't know about this. Thanks!

Mostly yellows btw, im poor

it would be ok

@@Vallun thank you!

hollts don t play harb anymore, since patch, harb is dead in pvp, in wvw it s decent but useless vs lot of class, and pve harb is shit vs all nice specs.. necro is pretty dead except scourge in fractal raids, and reaper in pvp (who is not insane, just pretty good)

they work

well if you prefer WvW then stick with speed, and if you prefer PvE then stick with tormenting, but tormenting works in both well so thats why I chose it

trailblazer and celestial are similar but celestial is more versatile and therefore more useful in a variety of situations

because theres already a vid for that

ah, sorry then, I tried to find it but I guess I am blind. Could you link it?

@@honestbenny in the description of this video, there is a link to a playlist of other "independent builds" its in there with the necro section

@@Vallun You put Scourge in SS tier yet under Harbringer you wrote "The BEST Necromancer Build" So which one is best? I am only interested in PvE.

@@honestbenny i didnt put anything in any tier list?

you're not making any sense, its easier to be in platinum in EU because of higher population

1. DPS isn't the only metric of success 2. learning only meta at first deprives you of learning the class which allows you to perform on meta builds or any build of that class, which makes players underperform 3. my content teaches people how to perform on any build, so they can progress 4. enjoy the ratio

Oh im so sorry! I had no idea I was supposed to play the game in a way that isnt fun in the slightest for me but at least its meta, right? Oh god save me! Ive failed an event thatll be there again in just a few hours how saddd :((( Just let people have fun, its an mmo so theres alot to it and theres so much build diversity and its overwhelming for some people (also you dont have to play meta builds to be good) Hey heres an idea, why dont YOU start a channel and try help new players find things they like or host training runs for group content or explain event mechanics in map chat if you see theres alot of noobs.

@@nicholas1173 why playing good build is not fun??? i play best builds for any spec and i m not perma dead, was hard for many class, but now ez with all class, different builds etc... Vallun has great content but i don t like these vids 1build for all game mode and i can just say it, ty honey but ur boyfriend can defend himself. Last thing, i always share builds with new players on map chat, always, and i give THE build he has to play if he wants dps, heal, or quick etc... so yes, just my opinion, sorry

to me, u have to choose THE good build and just change some skills, it s way better to learn class and build for pve end game, and i was happy to know how dps in fractal groups when they kick guys who present themself as dps and can t hit more than 6k so... Learning different builds for pvp, pvp and wvw is way more effective than playing one set of gear lol, and u talk about learning class? Learning class is knowing how playing different situation, gear and builds..
