@@Chronologix Really fair question honestly. No, there's no baseline Might in the build in this clip, and the only Might generation is from Ambition. However I do run some hybrid builds and even power builds where I'll run Blood is Power, Risk, and Ambition - granted, mostly for the memes, but I rarely spend the time to min/max runes and relics for every build variant when not playing ranked, tho I sometimes try. I still mostly run the Aristocracy relic in PVE and WvW, but again that's more laziness to not feel like min/maxing than it is a diehard belief in it being the best option. It's just easy to maintain uptime in PVE and WvW. In PVP I mostly run whatever's meta or cloest to meta for whatever build I'm playing, which, right now is Lynx + Demon Queen for the Condi builds I play.
This is one of the best gw2 videos I've ever seen! very well put and presented. Subscribed! I'm amazed that I've never seen your channel before even though I've been playing gw2 for years, you need to do some work on getting more people looking at this great work you're doing! I'm sure every player will appreciate this good content.
Wow thank you so much, that's very generous praise and certainly appreciated. I don't upload particularly often, so I don't think the YT algo ever does me any favors. I'm just a hobbyist who enjoys making videos, I wouldn't consider myself a serious YTer or anything. Nevertheless - of course it would be nice to have more subs, but I appreciate the ones I do have hahahah. Cheers, thanks again, it means a lot!
Dude! How have I never seen your videos before?? I feel BETRAYED by the youtube algo haha. This video is amazing. The editing, the commentary, the production value. Just wow. One video and I'm already a fan. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you bro, that really means a lot for sure. I'm a pretty bad UA-cam person, hahahah. I've only had a couple videos ever do pretty decent numbers, so I'm sure the algo just doesn't put my content into many people's hands. I'm just chillin right now, but I plan on going pretty hard on content in Janthir. Anyway, that's my goal, but that was my goal with SOTO too, so who knows lol. Appreciate you tho bro
Omg I hate my voice, so that's the nicest thing ever lmao. I am grateful this mic makes my voice sound a little nicer, at least. Appreciate you always Phoxy!
I saw the title and was like "oh no, not a cele harb video!" but was pleasantly surprised to see some really well thought out explanation of your play in spvp - good job :D
Hahahahah, well, I do wear a few Cele pieces in WvW - Sadly. But at least it's not a full set, I guess. I'm thinking of trying a power Harb build with a 1 h sword or two for funzies. I have no clue if it's good or not. I've just started trying to play again. The last year has been crazy busy for me! I gotta check your new vid out today as well. Cheers bro! Appreciate you!
Appreciate it! It's a bit out of date now obviously, and I want to make other guides, but RL has been very, very, VERY busy for me the last year or so lol. I actually had a very detailed Harb guide done and I basically had to scrap it. Hopefully one day.
@KryticalError don't worry about it! I'll be here when the time comes :). It helped me understand harb better. I never played it, and I usually lose 1v1 because the only thing I know is use a stun break when I get lifted!;p
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words! So I actually have been experimenting with Power Reaper and Power Harb running dual swords. I hate to say it - the off hand sword is not the best, usually. You're better off with a Focus or Dagger - with that being said, I did film a LOT of clips trying to make dual swords work, and I got some nice clips. I'll be uploading a montage sooner or later with those clips and the builds in it. I'll also be uploading another commentary video soon and the very-long-promised Harb extreme deep dive guide hahahah. Cheers and thanks again!
Thanks my friend! I have a lot of Thief montages on the channel and will be uploading more, as well as gameplay commentary and maybe a guide or mini-guide. I mostly play Dagger / Pistol, but we'll see if I can get any clips of some DD fights. Cheers :)
It seems like a lifetime ago now, well, because it was.... but I can remember my very first PVP encounter in an MMO ever. My adrenaline was going so crazy just from getting ganked that I can remember my hands being shaky. It was like that for a while, but the more and more I did it, the more and more I was able to keep my body from reacting that way, and my mind and body are now very calm even when desperately outnumbered, whether I die quickly, survive longer than I should, or win outright. That first PVP encounter was over 20 years ago tho, so..... that's a lot of time and practice PVPing in different games lol
Welcome to the game my friend! Great question. So yeah, you can definitely play PVP with Reaper. Condi Reaper is very, VERY meta right now, and you will see at least one Condi Reaper in almost every single PVP game, ranked or unranked both. I'm currently in mid-Gold and there is always at least one (usually I am one of them lol) As far as outnumbered, you can technically fight with any class while outnumbered, how successful you will be has less to do with each class or spec, and more to do with your own ability and the ability of the players in the match or in WvW that you are fighting. I have a beginner friendly deep dive guide on Reaper on the channel and may actually do a 2024 update on Condi Reaper VS Power Reaper, but I have lots of content that I am already working on.
@@KryticalError Okay i will check that, i like your content as a complete new player. Visually speaking i like greatsword gameplay, is it something good for a reaper? (condi) or does it have to use a staff? (i really look forward for the power vs condi reaper guide on that note)
@@y_x__i It's a fair question, but honestly for PVP, I haven't touched Greatsword on any Necro build at all in either unranked or ranked gameplay in a long time. It used to be my go-to, but there are just so many better options now with basically every Necro weapon being available to every spec. I still think it is VERY cool and very fun in PVE, but I personally can't see msyelf running it seriously other than to test it for people asking about it. I am working on a new Necro montage right now playing Reaper, Harbinger, and Core Necro. I plan to have some gameplay commentary videos uploaded around the same time whenever I get the new montage up. Cheers my friend!
It's not "off" - the color grading is an intentional choice I make in the editing process. It's OK if you don't like it tho, my style of editing is definitely not for everyone lol. I appreciate you checking the video out tho!
Yo! Thanks for checking out the video and dropping a comment. I'd prefer not to characterize other players negatively, but you're right in spirit, they don't appear to be very experienced players. I did actually talk about this in the closing segment of the video, and that outnumbered situations in which a solo can take 2-4 players out or survive long enough for back up are generally skill gap situations. That being said, I don't control who's in any match or in any roaming situation, and I've beaten rank 1 players on this build and the other Harb build I run in one of my earlier Harb videos, as well as other high ranked PVP and WvW players. So what I can control are things like my own mindset, approach, skill use, etc. I get a lot of questions in game and on Discord on how to fight outnumbered since I do it frequently in videos, so, here's this video. I do understand your meaning, tho. This is an unranked match. I'm personally in low Gold currently with about 20 games played. I'll be posting some full ranked matches eventually. Cheers
PVP GEAR LOADOUT- PVP Amulet - Carrion / Runes - Aristocracy / Relic - Aristocracy / Weapons and Sigils : Pistol / Dagger + Staff - Doom, Misery + Energy, Cleansing.
What's your favorite Harbinger build? Are you running Dual Swords?!!?
Late reply, but is there a reason you use Aristocracy Runes? you don't have any main sources of Might do you?
@@Chronologix Really fair question honestly. No, there's no baseline Might in the build in this clip, and the only Might generation is from Ambition.

Are you the same guy who made the death metal Warcraft videos from Azgalor? Great stuff!
Hahahahahahah no that guy was trash! I can't be him. :P
