Hey hi! I'm getting a lot of questions about how up-to-date this video still is~ The build has been nerfed a bit, but it's still incredibly powerful and popular, and you still play it the same way! If you manage to pull off the rotation perfectly, you can now expect to do roughly 40k damage, which is absolutely plenty.
I just came back after they shut down archeage. I used to do 20-25k back when I played so I followed your guid to the tee. I don't have all the gear as all I have is old school ascended vipers on everything. But even when I nail the rotation exacly I'm still only getting 15k dps on the bot. I checked settings and everything looked good. Not sure what's going on.
I just want to comment and say that the way you broke down the rotation, and explained it with slowed down visuals is amazing. I've watched a decent number of build guides, and only a small percent take that extra step to actually talk through the build (not just a text overlay), and ever fewer still make edits with slow motion clips and custom visuals. *Round of applause* 😄. Someone without years of experience playing can actually watch this and use it as a "training video" to effectively learn the build from scratch - that doesn't apply to most other build videos out there 😅.
@@Laranity please, please do more! Too often, I feel like the "why" behind the "what" is lost in build guides. You did a great job here explaining not only what to press and in what order, but also why you do it, which is a huge help toward learning a build, and especially to help you get back onto your rotation if and when you get interrupted by dodging, mechanics, CC, etc.
This is great! I also like how you told about the difference between an acceptable/easy rotation for average players vs maximizing damage as a veteran player.
Honestly, one of the best rotation guides I’ve seen. People usually just put a video of them rotating on the background and talk over it or put text on the screen. Please do more 😊
As a Condi Scourge player - this was a FANTASTIC explanation of the rotation, even adding in the new weapon. I would like to see more of these as it was easy to grasp for me.
I'm legally blind. It's hard for me to play this game and a lot of others. My husband often helps build my characters for me, but now I feel like I can easily do this myself, because you explained it so fantastically and so slowly for me to understand! I think he will be proud of me :-) thank you so much for this video
Amazing guide! I have played scourge before and as a scourge gaming lover this guide fits perfectly. The editing on this video is amazing aswell! Visualizes the rotation really good!
The main culprit for Scourge's absolutely insane throughput isn't so much the Pistol and Relic of Akeem by themselves, it's the damage bonus that comes from Demonic Lore, the Scourge's Grandmaster DPS Trait. Demonic Lore bestows a 33% damage bonus to all Torment you inflict from any source, and not only does the Pistol dump out absolutely OBSCENE amounts of Torment on its own with Weeping Shots bursting out Torment on a short CD, but Relic of Akeem gives 10 seconds of Torment+Confusion every 10 seconds when you're cranking out the rotation as underlined. It's why Alac DPS Scourge isn't really *that* much stronger with the addition of the Pistol and Relic, while Pure DPS Scourge is cleaning house like a French Maid. ANet does NOT need to overcorrect by nerfing the gun, the Relic or the baseline numbers of Shade attacks, all they need to do to bring Scourge back into line is reduce the damage bonus from Demonic Lore from 33% to around 20-25% or so. It's a VERY easy fix that doesn't require absolutely neutering the spec like they did a few months ago before they touched up Sand Sage, Blood as Sand and Sadistic Searing's QoL to fit with the new Shade system. Source: Me, Career Necro Main and Scourge Lover.
We both know Anet will nuke the crap out of the necro again though, probably not just adjusting Scourge but taking down Harbinger with it :P Or tuning it so pistol scourge still feels ok but non soto scourge with scepter gets neutered.
"all they need to do is reduce the damage of the class ability", bruh, my scourge doesn't have a pistol or relic because I didn't buy the dlc and guess what, I'm doing 0 dps. But surely the pistol and relic aren't the problem, let's nerf the class instead.
Your way of explaining and displaying the rotation is sooooo good. The best I've seen. Do more of this! I don't understand Ele at all and I want to play it!
For me personally the only thing I would change is to put dagger on one of the offhands. Pistol Torch / Scepter Dagger is how I have it. That way you aren't tied into the cooldown of shroud to transfer conditions. (offhand dagger has a transfer also). Keep in mind your elite skill is going to put conditions on you also.
I do this too! Apparently we lost a bunch of DPS from skill 4 which adds burning and torment. But I like the peace of mind that if plague sending doesn’t transfer the self bleed that I have a back up. I have done so much damage to myself just sitting with 2 stacks of bleed and no way to cleanse it
You can also hit the f5 first before you do blood is power, as the plague send buff lingers for a bit. You can play around with the trait as well, if you know you'll get condi bombed (slothasor shake as example), just eat the condis and f5 to send some of it back and f2 to clear the rest (but do if fast else you're dead, lol).
Very true!! I just kinda tried to keep it brief for the sake of making a quick guide, but you're totally right, you can play around with the BiP->F5 timing a bunch
Wow, I've never seen one of your build breakdown, it's very well made! Btw, are you on European server or did I cross path with a copycat some days ago?
Thank you so much, this is my first ever build breakdown! Would love to do more in the future though :) I do play on EU! And I play a LOT, so it's very likely you ran into me hahaha
Please do more rotation breakdowns like this! Having more explanations of *why* you do certain skills at times really helps. I'd love to see a heal or support build breakdown like this someday.
Unless I'm crazy, I'm pretty sure there's a small mistake in the rotation, Scepter skill 3 doesn't do anything unless the target has condis, the rotation would be be same except putting condis on the target before you use scepter 3.
@@lavenderlovee @FoulPet Yeah, It's broken in every game mode now. I ran a full support build in WvW and the barrier is so broken. My sub-group is unkillable. 😂
I am a person who gets distracted very quickly and I am not even a native of the English language, that is why this style to explain a rotation is the most inclusive thing that exists, sincerely my congratulations I hope it is the first of many! :D
THIS! this is the kind of video I've been looking for! such an intuitive and easy way to break down the rotation and also explain why we are doing it! thank you so much! Absolutely would love to see more like this! with new players coming to the game from the Steam release, as well as SotO, guides like this would be invaluable to new players!
Im getting 25-28k, but 4 of my trinkets are not viper. They're Sinister (condi, power, prec) and im missing Akeem Relic. Are those such big changes to be missing so much dmg?
Hehe.. I'm expecting a nerf but I hope it doesn't effect Reaper Power build.. That is what i run now.. but I'm figuring any necro condi build will be changed.
I sent this to my brother to illustrate why I think he'd like GW2. He loves complexity. I told him, this is the simplest best explanation on a class mechanic. :D Imagine watching this having never played MMO's lol
I can never do these dpses i dont know why. If a guide says 45k then i do like 25k. No matter the class. Even on my main reaper i can do like 25k with all ascended gear. I guess im just bad
are there any specs where I can get 80% of the way to being "fine" in strikes, like, let's say 15k dps or whatever, but where I only need 4 buttons? sometimes I don't have the brain for weapon swaps and stuff.
I wanted to play socrge and tried it after it got buffed in SOTO, but didn't get the Damage output. Thanks for making this video. Now, I ill try this out
I have serious commitment issues with games. I generally play a game for 2-3 weeks and then jump to a new one. Lately it's been like 6 games. I have never felt bad for coming in and out of GW2 and that feeling is why I keep coming back every month or two between my other games
new player and have been playing power harbinger till now. just have enough gold for a viper armour set and almost enough hero points for another specialisation. perfect timing for this video. thank you!!
I wonder if its worth trying out that bzuilt without the weapon and relic. Im only in the path of fire expension and playing reaper for some time so Im thinking about switching it up a little :)
Laranity, have you done a great build vid on an Thief or a Elementalist? because this video is fabulous easily explained that i can finally understand whereas the othes i've seen have been a little ....What.....!! Thank you for this one.
Please please please do more build explanations like these. Those other videos show you the raw basics of what your rotation should be and nothing else. Understanding what your skills do and how they interact with each other helps immensely when you want to learn how to rotate them.
great guide. I gave it a try and the spec is too much for me lol. F2 is way too short of a cooldown also to juggling every other skills off cooldown just feel messy for me. I'll stick with braindead reaper :p
Think that's bad? Vind used to be able to do 90k dmg on average before they nerfed it and gave it 2 dodges, but it really depended on the player and their build too.
You need to have master crafting to achieve this for the Rune of Trapper.. who tf does crafting nowadays? xD they should change that immidietly.. You should be able to buy everything from TP and stop forcing people to Craft
Hate to break the news to you, the 49k is stacking damage not one hit, you might need to teach about the arcdps and how it shows stacking damage when I discovered that I trashed it from my pc
I've been a necro main for years and I'm not even mad that everyone is jumping on the scourge train because when it gets nerfed everyone can go to power reaper or condi reaper and have even more fun! Reaper is in a super good spot too just not over powered like scourge is atm. I also wonder how they are going to nerf scourge without nuking other builds necro has. Could they nerf pistol on scourge without hurting harbinger?? idk.
They need to mess with scourge traits, otherwise it's guaranteed other builds are getting destroyed. Knowing how it goes, I fear for my beloved harbinger.
I've only ever played scourge in wvw, I have to try this in pve and see how it feels, it's good to have a good option, otherwise I'm always only a reaper in pve.
What s up with those comments they look like bots she juste saying press Evey thing offcooldown and thats it . That s not a rotation thats button mushing
Im kinda new to the game , but seems combos in this game are easy asf, but what dont you need specific gear or at least rly good expensive gear or best gear to do that dps?
I'm Scourge main and sincerely hope they nerf it properly. They need to instead of touching Cruses and Soul Reaping actually look at Scourge's traits and numbers. I'd personally start with disabling disabling F1-F5 while you are disabled. I should not be able to CC my opponents while CCed. From there they should proceed with caution because entire balance went off the rails not just Scourge.
I'm with many of the others here in the comment section. The actual rotation breakdown was great. I've played just about every "major" MMO out (WoW, ESO, FFXIV, BDO, etc.) for the past decade. But, I just started playing GW2 about 10 days ago. I'm plowing through story content (entering End of Dragons today) and already have a few crafting professions maxed and have been farming certain world bosses daily. So, I'm already at the stage of "needing" to know my build(s) better and this sort of content just makes that a lot easier. So, thank you and keep up the good work!
These are my favorite type of build videos, with nice visuals to understand rotations. And it's DEFINITELY getting nerfed! I just hope it doesn't affect Heal Scourge cause I REALLY like that build!
It's eassssy, you gotta hit all your buttons which is more than most classes on cooldown, don't forget you need to manage three different timing chains while you do mechanics, while also managing position for not only you but for your shade as well and bam ez 45k. NOOO problem. Lol.
Hey Lara! There is a small mistake in a rotation IMHO. In pistol you go 2-3--2--3-2. That way you can use 2-skill 3 times in a weapon swap without any gaps.
I am not entirely convinced if this will end up doing more damage- this way, you extend your entire pistol loop quite a bit, which in turn ends up delaying your scepter skills. Hard to tell how that works out? The highest benchmark I have seen anyone do so far uses the rotation in the video, and I don't think anyone's beaten that yet!
I know that this may not be the best place to ask this, but what do you guys think is better between Scourge, Reaper and Harbinger? Im almost new to the game and im starting just now with crafting armors by myself._. (yes, i know i can have all spec with time, but the best one in your opinion and why?)
Thank You, Laranity. I'm on it. Just got took from necro through HoT and got all the remaining HP's. Then into Crystal Desert for more so I could finish all of the Scourge track. Now I'll use Wizard's Vault to get him some ascended armour and ascended trinkets (using laurels). When I've finished that no doubt the build will be nerfed but it will still have been a fun journey upgrading him.

Comments like this absolutely make my day, thank you
I totally agree, most build guides just read out the skills, this is WAY more helpful. :)
Agreed. Most other build videos basically feel like a showcase, not a guide. This was great!
I like how you talk about skill priorities and explain the reasons rather than just laying out a strict rotation. Solid.
@@Laranity thank you for making it :D
That’s not good, they will nerf warrior for that.
Yes, the scourger is too powerful, i'm still waiting the nerf on shake'n off
Won't anyone think about nerfing elementalist!?
time to rework elementalist again
Lmaoooooo
Guys they will just buff reaper and leave it at that.
That was the best rotation breakdown I have ever seen. Super clear and easy to follow!
I'm so glad! I've been toying with the idea of doing "easy rotation guides" for a while now, and this is the first time I've actually made one c:

This is probably the best tutorial I’ve seen. You do a great job of breaking it down into bite size pieces.
Shhhh 🤫 if you say that out loud, they will nerf Thief again because, you know, everything is Thief's fault.
i get 45k without Shadowfiend just revive signet, 1 less button to click and still have the utility + better life force managment in real fights
Can't get past 35k on this no matter what I do, guessing after CmC gets done with it I'll be lucky to get 20k.
wow, this has to be the best rotation breakdown.
Thank you, Lara 😊
hey great vid but I got to ask. what's with you blinking 100 times a minute lol. is your hair poking your eyes?
That was a very detailed explanation of rolling your face across the keyboard as rapidly as possible.
Think that's bad? Vind used to be able to do 90k dmg on average before they nerfed it and gave it 2 dodges, but it really depended on the player and their build too.
You need to have master crafting to achieve this for the Rune of Trapper.. who tf does crafting nowadays? xD
they should change that immidietly.. You should be able to buy everything from TP and stop forcing people to Craft

Is it nerfed yet ? i tried the rotation and even thou i dont have viper's set iam doing only about 18-20k dps
What s up with those comments they look like bots she juste saying press Evey thing offcooldown and thats it . That s not a rotation thats button mushing
very nice guide, I liked the click sounds for F2 spam
PVE IS EASY MODE. FACT
IN WVW NECROS ARE KNOWN AS "EASY BAGS" FACT
- F A S T C A R
Im kinda new to the game , but seems combos in this game are easy asf, but what dont you need specific gear or at least rly good expensive gear or best gear to do that dps?
I'm Scourge main and sincerely hope they nerf it properly. They need to instead of touching Cruses and Soul Reaping actually look at Scourge's traits and numbers. I'd personally start with disabling disabling F1-F5 while you are disabled. I should not be able to CC my opponents while CCed.

That didn't take long, already nerfed with the 4 skills now sharing a cooldown.
I just got 14k damage out of this, wondering what I am doing wrong...

the easiest way to play scourge is to remove all the skills and switch to reaper and have fun again
So go Scourge and press all the buttons? That's what I do on all my toons.
Rune Of The Nightmare instead of Travelers?
These are my favorite type of build videos, with nice visuals to understand rotations. And it's DEFINITELY getting nerfed! I just hope it doesn't affect Heal Scourge cause I REALLY like that build!
Not sure if its european or not but you have keystrokes M% and M$ for the signets.. WHat is M4 and M5?? AND I LOVE the explaination..
Mouse 4 and 5 are side buttons if you have in your gaming mouse
If it was ele they'd uave been tearing apart that build and class in seconds.
It's a better version of condition Mesmer with shade mechanic.
I get 16k damage with celestial gear, what am I doing wrong?
It's eassssy, you gotta hit all your buttons which is more than most classes on cooldown, don't forget you need to manage three different timing chains while you do mechanics, while also managing position for not only you but for your shade as well and bam ez 45k. NOOO problem. Lol.

Im almost new to the game and im starting just now with crafting armors by myself._. (yes, i know i can have all spec with time, but the best one in your opinion and why?)
it was really easy explanation. thank you so much :D
My staff Specter does 12k DPS. Thanks Anet.
is this a top tier dps with buffs to teaam for fratal and end game content?
Easily the best build and rotation guide I've ever seen!
Real OGs remember 100k dps frost gun reaper
Is this already nerfed? Just got back to the game after a year without playing, and Scourge is my main since Pof! Need to know this
A bit! It does around 40k damage now so it’s not quite as broken as before, but you play it the same way and it’s still a great easy DPS option :)
Amazing guide, Lara. Queen shit.
Time to nerf scourge to power mech levels hahaaa melt
gonna try right now!! spectacular!
Thank you so much 🥰 I think you have a talent in teaching:)
I legit just spam all skills without thinking and reach 32k in fractals rofl. Also I have trailblaizer gear.
haha so many of the skills are just, "use them off-cooldown"-- so button mashing is surprisingly effective
very good and clear guide!
It must have been nerfed now, right?
I always see scourge on my top archdps list
Girls eyes are going to blink straight off her face.
Best rotation/build guide ever :)
Well i did my condi scg now the first video popped out is this 🤣
Guardian will likely see buffs...
Thank You, Laranity. I'm on it. Just got took from necro through HoT and got all the remaining HP's. Then into Crystal Desert for more so I could finish all of the Scourge track. Now I'll use Wizard's Vault to get him some ascended armour and ascended trinkets (using laurels). When I've finished that no doubt the build will be nerfed but it will still have been a fun journey upgrading him.
Inc Nerfs on the 26th for every professions =/
Great Build gonna try out what is the Food btw ?
what a great guide. very clear thank you.
