Guild Wars 2

Heya!
It’s like that: Every ascended armor I crafted until now was berserker stats. I just finished my 4th one and well, my other classes probably will get them, too.

However, from the latest collection achievement for the silverwastes, I got one ascended armor bag of my choice. So I decided to pick something I don’t already have an recipe for.
My first thoughts were: Condi necro or maybe a thief with assassin stats.

I’d really like to run a condition based char on at last one of my 8 classes. However, I really want to play my necro with a staff (final rest – what else could you want as a necro?).

Has a staff necro on condition damage any use? WvW would be fine, I haven’t played my necro that much until now.
And what stats would you use? Dire? Rabid? Carrion?
Or would you suggest to take another class with more condi power? Or even something else than condi/zerk?

PS: It’s not necessary to be a dungeon meta build. As long as there’s ANY space where its kinda useful (WvW, PvP…) I’d take it.

Dire works for Condi Neco, Thief and Engi in open world PVE, Triple Trouble, WvW zerg and roaming.

I’d go for Sinister stats if solely for open world PVE, dungeons and fractals.

Alright, I decided on Dire for armor and back and Sinister for amulet/rings/acessoires (I already had them from LS achievements, so that’s kinda nice and cheap).

I should use scepter/dagger and staff, I guess? I’ll most likely use her in WvW.
Any nice runes btw? Undead maybe?

Dire or Rabid would be the best gear for a Necromancer Condi Roamer and ya it use a staff with a scepter/dagger.

Whatever you do, do not use assassin on your thief. In PvE, thief already have so much precision that it will be a waste in most party, while in WvW most thief build are build around the backstab and you have a trait that give you 100% crit chance when stealth, making precision one of the lest important stats for a Thief roamer. Of course there is exemption like a solo PvE thief or a S/D roaming thief that wouldn’t be hurt by assassin gear, but is most situation you shouldn’t have assassin gear on a thief.

Thanks for the tip, nice to know. I don’t like thieves that much anyways, so maybe I’ll stick to boring zerk gear for him or something.
