P.S 1: You need the newest expansion "Secrets of the Obscure" to use the new weapons on all classes, and that includes Swords on necromancers.
If that's not an option, you can use a Greatsword with the same stats and sigils. The build should still work fine overall, but it won't be as good as you saw in the footage.
P.S 2: You also need to finish the "Astral Ward Arsenal" collection.
That can be done during the "The War Council" Story Chapter in the new expansion, or you can buy them in WvW from the Notary vendor
I've been waiting for this build for a long time! Can't wait! Going to go gear it up right now! Great guide. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it in action!
Reaper double swords is awesome. I hate GS and Staff usually, don't play a lot Reaper because of that but now, it's just fun since the last patch 🥰
It really is!
Same here, GS looks good but plays bad, slow and weird animations in my op
Great video as always. And the attention to the character gearing is amazing! Can't wait to try this one. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much 🙂
I’m definitely going to try this build. I just started playing and right now I’m running a thief and once I complete the main story I think I’m going to make a necro.
Hope you enjoy it when you try it!
Perfect timing! I just started playing a Reaper I built in 2016 and it wasn't going as well as I'd remembered. This will change everything.
I hope it works well for you and you get to enjoy Reaper again 🙂
Johnny with another banger! Gonna get my Reaper set up with dual swords today actually so i'm excited to see how this one works! Great guide video like always
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope you enjoy it when you try it 👍
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny I have to say the dual sword reaper build is SO amazing! I am able to dang near do whatever I want with this build. Super awesome job like always!
That's awesome to hear 😄 I'm very glad you liked it!
Yaay been waiting for a sword necro build. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks so much for this! The life force recharge is absolutely INSANE, I barely need to exit my reaper's shroud at all! (but I also still keep my axe/warhorn as a spare weapon set just in case)
You are right! I rarely need to get out of shroud, unless I'm fighting a bounty and taking a lot of damage
I’ve been waiting for this
I hope you enjoy the build when you try it!
Just want to throw in and say that I grabbed swords and never looked back. I think that they can drop onto whatever power Reaper build you have so you can play to get their feel and then easily tweak to suit your playstyle. They are just that simple to play.
I have a spare Reaper who I will probably gear up per Johny's build just to have more fun on swords.
Swords are fantastic for Reaper indeed. One of the best additions in all of the new weapons. It just synergizes very well 👍
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity!
Brilliant build. I just hope swords won't get nerfed in the next patch.
Thank you very much! I don't think they will, and if it happened, it won't be by much.
However, I expect them to improve the functionality of the second channel skills Swords, as they're not worth losing health for in open world.
Excellent!!!!!!!!! 💪
Thanks!!
Great video! Will this build also do well in fractals?
Yes, definitely👍
TY ! First i tried dual sword i liked it very much, nice skill animations. how this build works with ful celestial eq ?
Sowrds work really well with Reaper! I don't think full celestial will work very well with this exact build, since it's more power oriented
Once again a great, easy to follow build guide. I've only just unlocked the Reaper Elite Spec but I'm stumped in how I can unlock the Sword Proficiency! I unlocked the Weapon Mastery Training on another Profession a month and half ago, so I'm stumped.
Do I now need to complete the 'Astral Ward Arsenal' Achievement by collecting the 5 items needed via the Soto Storyline?
@TutorialsWithJohny, Thanks again for another quick & to the point build guide
And Tia for any help you or your subscribers can give me on the above question.
Yes, that's what you need to do to unlock all the new weapons for all classes, including the swords for Necro.
You need to finish the "Astral Ward Arsenal" collection.That can be done during the "The War Council" Story Chapter in the new expansion, or you can buy them in WvW from the Notary vendor
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Ok that's the New goal :)
Thanks for the quick reply!
Hi there! What is inflicting bleeding for you to benefit from the blood magic trait: Blood bond? Thank you :-)
When you dodge you apply some bleeding, which isn't very reliable. But on the other hand, the other 2 options are not useful for solo open world at all. While "Blood Bond" can be beneficial if ended up fighting a Champ or a Bounty with a couple more people.
Basically, it's the best of 3 bad options
Hey Johny will you look at an open world mechanist with SB? Im curious :) TYIA!
I sure will 👍
Thoughts on using death magic over blood (1, 1, 1 OR 1, 1, 3) ? I tweaked the build a bit and went full Marauders with Rune of surging and I am really enjoying it, I keep swapping around utility skills around increasing / decreasing how many minions I wanna bring. So far I've narrowed it down to 2 builds.
Exactly what you have, except with all Marauder gear with 1 Diviner ring and surging runes. I swap Blood fiend and Flesh Golem to Shouts.
And then exactly what you have, except with all Marauder gear with 1 Diviner ring and surging runes. Death magic over blood, and using shadow fiend instead of spectral grasp.
I tried the build was Death Magic while working on it and I found it to work just fine. However, for me it felt like the whole build synergized together in a better way with Blood Magic.
Good job for the changes you made! I highly encourage theory crafting and changing things around to fit your own style. Just keep in mind that with full Marauder there will be times where you may not be able a very hard boss or bounty.
Hey Johny! As new player who just unlocked the full reaper traits, I wanted a beginner build for all pve content, would you recommend this build for open world and group pve or the low intensity reaper build that you posted 4 months ago?? 😅
If you're still going to make a build from Scratch, this build is better I'd say. The double swords work great for Reaper
Nice video man, i’m newbie here, just started play 1 weeks ago, btw how can we unlock double sword in reaper? Thx
Welcome to Guild Wars 2! Check the pinned comment to know how to unlock double swords 👍
I was already pretty much finished getting the build "low intensity unstoppable for all pve" done, how does this one compare to it? I'm a new player and don't have much gold to throw away buying builds, which one do you think is the strongest and the most fun? i appreciate your help :)
This build is better because Swords will increase your damage AND sustain. If you already had the gear from my other guide, just use it for this build and it will also work fine. The difference won't be much at all.
So, use whatever gear you bought for the other build, and then finish whatever you're missing from the gear for this build. As for traits, skills, and how to use the build, follow the ones in this guide. I hope it makes sense and it's not confusing
Hello Johnny,
How to modify this build to work well in Srikes and Fractals? I'm running full Berserker and got bored of the GS + Staff build.
This is hella fun build but I feel like I do less dps in Strikes and Fractals.
I'm very glad to know you're having fun with the build. If you want to do more damage in group content, I would suggest the following changes as a start: gw2skills.net/editor/?PSgAwylRwOYgsLWJm+WlNbA-DSZUBRDDMovjEC8QgEHmEoCFgZPLwS6zAAA-e
You can then modify the build even further based on your needs and gameplay style
dont we have to engage first with path of glutony and then enter reaper shroud( after of course the well and the shout)?
Not at all. You can if you like the animation or maybe the enemies are far and you want to leap, or even if you just like to do that. But you don't have to do that at all.
why am I unable to use the exquisite Burl Jewel, is it only usable on exotic accessory?
What are you trying to add it to?
How does the projectile look for gen3 swords on sword 1?
Very good question! Skills #1 and #2 will fire Raindow-ey projectiles, or if you have other Aurene Variants then they will match that. #3 is a leap so you'll leave a Raindow-ey trail behind you, #4 is targetable skill, and #5 is just green 😄
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny thank you!
Do I need to spend real money to unlock dual swords? I only have first two expansions.
You need the newest expansion "Secrets of the Obscure" to use the new weapons on all classes, and that includes Swords on necromancers.
If that's not an option, you can use a Greatsword with the same stats and sigils. The build should still work fine overall, but it won't be as good as you saw in the footage
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Thankyou sir
im new player but am i missing something or it says weapon unusble by youre profession when im reaper when i want o ecquip the twin sister sword?
To be able to use Swords, you must have the Secrets of the Obscure Expansion. Then you need to finish the "Astral Ward Arsenal" collection.
That can be done during the "The War Council" Story Chapter in the new expansion, or you can buy them in WvW from the Notary vendor
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny i hope its not expensive😆anyway thx for the help
If you'll do the story you'll finish the collection completely free
I was nowhere near ready when this dropped. Still back in the middle of chapter 3 of the SOTO story. Was short all of the currency in both SOTO and WvW. Woe is me!
A couple of tips:
-- I was told I needed to finish chapter 6 of SOTO in order to skip to chapter 14 and advance the collection. I finished 3 easily and finished through 6 in just a couple of hours. I suspect that I might have been able to start chapter 14 simply after finishing Chapter 3 ( by being in the middle of it, I could have messed up its progress) to skip ahead and grab the new weapons. The bonus of doing 3.5 more SOTO chapters gave me several mastery points that I used to complete flight magic which ended up being quite useful in completing Chapter 14.
-- I was warned that Chapter 14 works across a big chunk of the map so I ported in before starting the chapter in order to fly around, grab waypoints and see where things are. That really made the actual work of the chapter much faster and easier.
-- While I flew around, I made sure I grabbed all the orbs of Latent Magic I saw because they reward you with Calcified Gasps (currency needed for the Chapter 14 progression). The orbs can give you up to 300 gasps a day but only 150 are needed for this collection. I also grabbed treasure chests for more gasps and loot. Easy peasy. I got all the currency I needed in short order before starting to collect.
Very good tips! Thank you very much :)
Can i use full berserk with this build
You can, but you will not have as much sustain
Can this build be used for World vs World, if not, can you give me a recommended build, btw I'm just playing GW2
I can give you one for Zerg Fights, not roaming. Will that work?
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny maybe can try it
I'd go with something like this: gw2skills.net/editor/?PSgAwylJw8YIsDWJm6WntbA-DSZUBhBG03hCBqBKEI5wSgKKA/+CwS6zAAA-e
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny thx you jhony
No second weapon only dual swords?
Yes. Not needed 👍
Do the swords scale with healing power?
Yes they do
is this build viable in fractals ? and thank for the guide i dusted of my necro ;)
Nice! I hope you enjoy the build when you try it 🙂 And yes, it can be used for Fractals 👍
I can confirm. The range version compared to GS is an absolute blessing, like in silent surf and sunqua moving around. You can now generate lifeforce at range while doing the mechanic!
Any reason you don't bother with a second weapon set?
You don't really need to. Usually the second set is for things like :
- Range
- Melee
- More Damage
- More Sustain
But you actually get all of that from Sword, so in my opinion you don't need a second set
@GamingTutorialswithJohny I figured that was going to be the case, nice one on the build as always.
Thank you!
You should probably take staff for farming
I absolutely see now why you didn't bother with a second set. Everything else feels slow and unnecessary. @@GamingTutorialswithJohny
My reaper isn't able to use sword what should i do to be able to use it? I can only use great sword
Check the pinned comment for details 👍
Why I can't use sword? My game says this weapon is unusable by my profession :(
Check the pinned comment for details 👍
I'm not able to equip swords yet, im only level 35 tho
That's probably why you can't. To equip swords and other weapons for other classes, you must have the "Secrets of the Obscure" expansion, and you need to finish a certain part / collection in the story
good build for lamp? xD
Yes. It is very good for that too
Damn sword build so nothing for newcomers...
Do you have the SOTO Expansion?
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Yes but so far i know i must play at least until chapter 6 to activate chapter 14 and i dont want to be spoilert storywise because i am still in the HoT expansion.
Aha. That makes sense. If you do some WvW, you can unlock it from the Notary Vendor there.
I hate legendary system in Gw2
You don't need any legendary gear for this build at all
Then dont do any legendaries at all ^^
You dont need them at all
I love to collect them - like pokemon 😂
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity :)
@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Thanks for those guides man, love em.
