Overview

A high damage PvP Power Harbinger build meant to teamfight, but can hold it's own in some duels. This version of Spear harbinger focuses on life steal and mobility to survive and stick to targets better.

Utility

For the optional slot:

  • - decent AoE damage and more boon corruption. Mostly offensive but also has some defensive value, as it can transform boons like Might Might and Fury Fury into Weakness Weakness and Blind Blind, significantly lowering the damage your opponent can do.

The base idea behind the Spear implementation for necromancer was really interesting. Despite this the weapon feeling very clunky & needing a mini rework. However this does not hinder it from shining in PvP or WvW's isolated combat scenarios. The build can be adjusted in terms Curses or (if you have a death wish) Blood Magic Path in favor of Death Magic. Carapace synergizes exceptionally well with Harbingers Blight Mechanic and will add another layer of protection against damage. If you want to run Death magic instead of Curses you will have to look out for a few things like changing your amulet and traits like "lesser signet of vampirism" because there is no other bleeding sources in the build. So all in all it is a potent & flexible build for player vs player combat, despite Spear being kind of a let down as a weapon itself

It can do ok but it's incredibly squishy, mobility can only do so much for you. I don't think this is viable enough to be competitive given its weaknesses, but it can be playable at an average rating range at least. IMO the damage isn't high enough to justify all the shortcomings of spear, and it offers very little else. It's kinda fun but unless Anet reworks it, this weapon will be forgotten very soon on Necro. edit: made some adjustments based on suggestions, I think I'll bump this up a tier, very decent ranked build.
