Weapon and Skill Details

The weapons are Knights weapons.

 

Power+Toughness=Synergy
High Toughness adds to power increasing your base attack to an incredible degree and also adding some much needed healing power to increase your life siphon/steal totals.

 

Precision=High Proc chance on sigils, food, and traits.
Critical hit aren't made for higher base damage, but to proc abilities.

 

Weapon skills+traits+sigils=massive conditions on every enemy in sight. Place wells on your position to make yourself invulnerable while stealing health from foes. Minions die and create even more conditions. Then once the wells disappear, go into death shroud and finish off the enemies!

 

Locust signet gives the run speed you need for all occasions, as well as adding more life stealing goodness!

Water Weapon II

Superior Sigil of Generosity

60% chance to transfer a condition to your foe on critical hit. (Cooldown: 10 Seconds)

Upgrade Item Details

You know all about the power+toughness synergy by now. Now add on even more power and toughness. Eat some food that steals even more life!

 

Sigils: If you can't afford torment and generosity, use blight and earth. What is important is to add on those conditions on every crit. Bloodlust and strength on your staff can be replaced with earth and blight. Use what suits you best. Strength for straight damage or force sigils. Blight or torment. You'll have 100% crit chance while in shoud, so you wont need those accuracy runes. Go for straight power, damage, or condition application.


V. Basic Gameplay

Step 1: Summon your minions
Step 2: Attack using either weapon set. You'll find that no specific rotation is required. Just save your staff 5 skill in case your wells and your shroud is on cooldown at the same time (this almost never happens)
Step 3: When monsters enter melee range, drop your wells onto yuourself.
Step 4: When your wells expire go into death shroud. Use all your death shroud skills.
Step 5: Don't waste your life force, just pop out of shroud and start attacking again with your weapons.

 

Rinse, rub, repeat.

 

You'll never die!

 

Play in PvP, WvW, and PvE (Dungeons and fractals also)

 

Make sure you tell people who ask why you're so awesome, that Derenek created this buid.
