Thanks for completing my scourge build. I always felt something missing. The traits and rotation. helped big time. I was thinking simlair. Just by switch a few things. It got a lot more fun.
Nice Johny! I'm going to go and buy some cheapo gear and play it with one of my necromancers that's carrying some extra hero points. Looking forward to a good time.
A good tank build. Thanks Johny. I did a test replacing soul reaping with blood magic 3-3-1. I feel immortal as well, while probably doing less damage (not tried on golem for measurement). - I do a lot of WvW where I want my scourge to be tanky and a good healer. What would you suggest tweaking for such result?
You will indeed do less damage but gain more sustain if you used Blood Magic instead of Soul Reaping. As for WvW, here is a link with the changes I'd do to be even more tanky and do some Heals / Barriers for my party: gw2skills.net/editor/?PSAU2A7hJxSYm4ZNV+6B-w
Glad you liked it! It really depends on your zerg's / commander's playstyle, but most likely you will need at least few adjustments to make it work. I plan on doing builds just for WvW in the near future
hi bro, thanks so much for the build and skill rotations. can I ask if I can use rune of torment instead of rune of trapper ? I will lose a lot of DPS? thanks
Thanks 4 the guide! :) How can i equip a pistol? Sure, i can use a torch after selecting the elite specializations but a pistol is still not available for me.
I don't think Swords will work very well with this build. However, I made another Reaper build that works very well with Swords: th-cam.com/video/44w9TQVHXh8/w-d-xo.html
Welcome back to GW2! Sorry for not making it clear, but you need to have the new SOTO expansion, and unlock WeaponMaster. Here is a guide : th-cam.com/video/4OTJ5KazS0E/w-d-xo.html
I am using a Tier 10 Jade Bot Core, and I'm also using a full set of legendary, which has the same stats as ascended. Those are probably the ones contributing the most to the difference in HP
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Thanks for the reply and Yes it was the jade bot core. I have this mastery recently unlocked and forgot to equip the power core on my necro.
Correct. You must own SOTO to use Pistol on Scourge. You also must own SOTO for the new weapons for all classes, like double Swords for Necro for example
Scourge can be melee or range as you prefer. YOU don't need to be in the shade radius / range, but the enemies do. So you can cast your shade on an enemy that's 900 range away, or right on top of your feet.
Correct. But that only applies to the Barrier from skill F1. The Barrier from all other Shroud skills will be applied at your position as well. For example: F3 and F5 will apply the Barrier directly to you even if the shade is far from you
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Wow, that's amazing. Seems like Anet should've put that in the tooltip. Found it in he awesome wiki, though. Thanks, man, now I'm ready to try this!
Hi there, is this build still valid? Loved your last reaper build but wanna try a condi build for convergences. I eagerly wait for you to upload your videos ❤
If you have the new expansion "Secrets of the Obscure" you can equip any weapon from all elite specs of the class by default. Check this guide: th-cam.com/video/4OTJ5KazS0E/w-d-xo.html
Omg, I need more build templates STAT!!! I'm sooo wearing this for our PvE raids, thanks!!
It is really good for group content 🙂

I just finished this build and I am LOVING it!! Best necro/sourge build I have tried! Thank you!
I'm very happy to hear that!
I will give this build a try.
Thank you VERY much for your generosity!
As someone that started playing recently , i love your vids atm i am doing story with Herald but i will try this builds for sure , thanks
Welcome to GW2! Good luck with your story 🙂 I hope you enjoy this build when you get a chance to try it
This looks fantastic Johny! I will be tring this out later......going to take it to Amnytas for a workout. 🥰
Thank you! I hope you it works well for you when you try it 🙂
Thanks Johnny, this build looks great! I’m currently running your harbinger build. Can’t wait to see how this compares.
I hope it works as well or even better!
Nice Johny! I'm going to go and buy some cheapo gear and play it with one of my necromancers that's carrying some extra hero points. Looking forward to a good time.
Sounds great! I hope it works well for you 🙂
Another great build!
Thank you very much!
Great builds as always! Thank you
Thank you very much!
thank you very much, i tested on HOT hp run it's impressive !🤩🙏💪
That's great to hear!

@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Thank you for sharing this WvW. This is much appreciated. I am going to test it straight away.
Akeem relic better than fractal?
For open world, yes. For group content, Fractal is better. I did mention both in the guide in case you missed it
Hiho Johny, a very nice build again! Thanks a lot! Do you think, i could work on wvw too?
Glad you liked it! It really depends on your zerg's / commander's playstyle, but most likely you will need at least few adjustments to make it work.
I plan on doing builds just for WvW in the near future
hi bro, thanks so much for the build and skill rotations. can I ask if I can use rune of torment instead of rune of trapper ? I will lose a lot of DPS? thanks
You can use Rune of Torment 👍 It will work very well with this build
How does this compare with celestial gear?
If you will use full Celestial, you will do less damage than what you will get with this build, while your sustain will increase a little bit
I havent unlocked soto so I dont have pistol. How different this build is with scepter?
The build will be ok with Scepter instead of Pistol, but you'll do less damage overall
Thanks 4 the guide! :)
How can i equip a pistol? Sure, i can use a torch after selecting the elite specializations but a pistol is still not available for me.
To equip a pistol on Scourge, you need to own "Secrets of the Obscure" and then follow this guide : th-cam.com/video/4OTJ5KazS0E/w-d-xo.html
Would this Build work with double sword aswell?
Or is power build the way to go with double sword.
I don't think Swords will work very well with this build. However, I made another Reaper build that works very well with Swords: th-cam.com/video/44w9TQVHXh8/w-d-xo.html
Sorry, it has been a while since I last played gw2. How can you use a pistol as a scourge?
Welcome back to GW2! Sorry for not making it clear, but you need to have the new SOTO expansion, and unlock WeaponMaster. Here is a guide : th-cam.com/video/4OTJ5KazS0E/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the build can you tell me how you got 25k health? I have the exact same setup and only got like 22.5k health.
I am using a Tier 10 Jade Bot Core, and I'm also using a full set of legendary, which has the same stats as ascended. Those are probably the ones contributing the most to the difference in HP
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Thanks for the reply and Yes it was the jade bot core. I have this mastery recently unlocked and forgot to equip the power core on my necro.
I have a question for scourge, if i don't have SOTO meaning i can't use a pistol? Is there other way or do i really need to buy SOTO for this?
Correct. You must own SOTO to use Pistol on Scourge. You also must own SOTO for the new weapons for all classes, like double Swords for Necro for example
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Thank you for answering i appreciate it
Basically, Scourge is melee since both you and the enemy needs to be in range of the shade?
Scourge can be melee or range as you prefer. YOU don't need to be in the shade radius / range, but the enemies do. So you can cast your shade on an enemy that's 900 range away, or right on top of your feet.
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Ah. I haven't played it yet, but shade radius is 180, so if I want the barrier I need to be on top of it, too?
Correct. But that only applies to the Barrier from skill F1. The Barrier from all other Shroud skills will be applied at your position as well. For example: F3 and F5 will apply the Barrier directly to you even if the shade is far from you
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Wow, that's amazing. Seems like Anet should've put that in the tooltip. Found it in he awesome wiki, though. Thanks, man, now I'm ready to try this!
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Excellent build. Thank you.
Hi there, is this build still valid? Loved your last reaper build but wanna try a condi build for convergences. I eagerly wait for you to upload your videos ❤
Waiting on you to let me know if build is still valid, so I can start buying gear ❤
Yes it is! And I'm really glad to know the previous build worked well for you :)
@@GamingTutorialswithJohnythank you so much for getting back to me. You are a gentleman 🫡
I always try to reply to every single comment as fast as possible :)
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny thank you for being amazing Johny 🫡
rune of torment isnt worth?
I am so confused, Scourge can use pistols? I have been away from the game for a long time though
If you have the new expansion "Secrets of the Obscure" you can equip any weapon from all elite specs of the class by default.
Check this guide: th-cam.com/video/4OTJ5KazS0E/w-d-xo.html
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny thank you so much for the reply. Very helpful and very helpful vid you linked. Clarifies everything
Anyone else cant copy the build links?
