After returning from a 1 year hiatus , I’ve realized that I’m missing out alot on Guildwar 2. Can anyone refer me to a nice build for both PVE and PVP necromancer?
Used to have a level 55 condition necromancer , but I’ve got no idea if its still useful or not at this moment :\
Welcome back! Sadly I am not an expert on builds and cannot advice on that subject. I do run on condition necro and find her a lot of fun to play. I may be wrong, but the PvP people may be more into power necromancers these days.
Current PvP meta is a condition build with Terror and Dhuumfire that maximizes condition duration, 30/20/0/0/20. Uses scepter/dagger and staff. Expect to get a lot of hateful remarks from enemy players for using it, though. There are also minion bunker builds of various types for PvP.
For maximum damage in PvE, there are power builds that run something like 30/10/0/0/30 or 30/25/0/0/15. There are minor differences in damage output; it basically boils down to whether you want to use axe or dagger as your mainhand and whether you want to use a staff or warhorn as your weapon to swap to. Power builds tend to run full berserker, which is relatively easy on necromancer compared to some other power builds because you have higher health to compensate for small mistakes.
If you want to do conditions in PvE, I would recommend Rampager over Rabid, or perhaps a mix of the two. You will pull tons of aggro while wearing Rabid due to armor increasing aggro. Build doesn’t really matter as long as you at least have 30 in Curses. Don’t go for Dhuumfire in PvE, though, because the burning will just get overwritten by guardians and elementalists accidentally.
