The PvXwiki community finds this to be an excellent build.

If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page.

This build has been designed for the following use:

Metagoldcapelol This build is part of the current PvP meta.
Remove this tag if it no longer exists in the current PvP metagame.

The Contagion Bomber utilizes Health Sacrificing skills, Death Nova and Contagion to sacrifice health to zero, resulting in additional damage by Death Nova. This build is meant for use in the Jade Quarry, where the whole goal is nuking shrines.

Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=N/A death=12+1+3 blo=12+1 sou=3+1][Contagion][Dark Aura][Death Nova][Putrid Bile][Shadow Walk][Signet of Agony][Touch of Agony][Dash][/build]

  • PvP version of skills - [[Signet of Agony (PvP)@13].

Equipment

  • As additional energy isn't needed, Undertaker's Insignias or Survivor's Insignias are your best choice.
  • A 40/40 Death Magic set.

The Equipment Template for this build is:
Pk5RiMz6TjeMvKSVGMFpnWXMFZYZRMF5TKBMFpGcLMFZHA

Usage

  • Always keep up Contagion, Dark Aura and Death Nova.
  • Destroy enemy shrines, focusing mainly on Quarries.
  • Use Putrid Bile on your target, preferably an NPC in the middle of the shrine, which will always be a Mesmer.
  • Use Shadow Walk to teleport to your target.
  • Use Signet of Agony and Touch of Agony to trigger Dark Aura and eventually Death Nova.
  • If possible, try to use Death Nova on dying allies.
  • Do not fear dying. You will be resurrected very fast, and dying triggers Death Nova.
  • Use Dash to get to shrines faster.
  • It's amazing how often people just run past you if you don't attack them. Bombers are hopless in 1v1 combat, just keep running toward your goal.

Counters

  • Massive enchantment removal.
  • Tactical snaring.
  • Well placed interrupts
  • A powerful healer (average healer in JQ will fail and then get killed by the new shrine NPCs).
  • Ignorance

Variants

<pvxbig>

  • Cover enchantment like [[Demonic Flesh@13] or [[Withering Aura@16].
  • [[Death's Charge@0] for a different shadow step skill.
  • Corpse exploitation skills.

Notes

  • Pairs well with a ranger carrying Edge of Extinction.
