@Gabbs; Markway is instantly better than Discordway because of the heavy AoE damage and higher armoured characters beat defensefagging which is slow (and thus requires Fall Back to compensate)
Who said anything about discordway?
When I play nec I use AoTL, SoS, SoGM, 2x Esurge 1x Panic and UA monk.
Mesmers are buildt with 3x Unnatural signet 3x Spiritual Pain 3x Cry of Frustration 2x Mistrust and 1x Shatter Enchantment. Delivering fast and unconditional spikes with both single target and AOE damage components.
2x Esurge + Putrid Bile and Putrid Explosion does in the area of 430 damage NEARBY AoE damage pretty much every single time. Other attacks take care of the rest.
I have pretty much every single AP caller in game with r10 PVE skills and hero builds that suit them. (yes yes, I know about the recent PVE skills patch before someone makes a comment) And I tried and tested pretty much every build out there extensively.
Markway/MoP Necs are simply put not up there with the top brass the way a death bomber, AP-ele or mesmer is. Yes it can wipe groups instantly from time to time and it does a decent job most of the time. But it also completely and utterly fails every 2-3 fights in between, which is why I strongly dislike it.
