Necromancer -> Mesmer
PvE or WvW or just open world stuff?
Personally I think necro is still master of conditions, sure they don’t get confusion and torment in large numbers but they can send them back in many many ways. They also have epidemic for PvE which is just amazing.
Anyway you pretty much want all rabid if you’re going condition Mesmer, clones benefit from the precision to proc sharper images (bleed on crit), I believe frifox has a guide or something about it on one of the first few pages.
Hi
First, “Necro is still master of conditions” is true but only in a way. They have the best boons/conditions manipulation of the game (transferring conditions, corrupting boons, spreading condis….) but they are not that great unfortunately at applying them fast. So basically a necro will shine in a condi team but mostly by reinforcing the effect of the others :p
I am currently leveling my necro and I like it although the play style is not as dynamic as mesmer (less mobility). So for WvW roaming, rabid is the right set. You basically want a condi shatter builds with massive stealth (prismatic understanding), staff, scepter/torch. You can switch to focus to run around faster because you will miss the signet of locust, we are slow as hell! It will improve with chronomancer luckily.
A typical PU condi shatter template is:
Dueling: 111
Chaos: ??3
Illusion: ?11
Have fun roaming around!
Ah, if you want big quantity conditions, I suggest you go try Engi.
Most of their conditions are AOE, and can be inflicted with big quantity too!
Their condition spec is also quite strong in roaming too!
If you still want to roam as Mesmer in WvW, I suggest you go for power build which can kill people more easily. Also I encourage you to not use PU because it’s such a disgustingly cheap trait, very very abusive and overpowered… Donnu who the heck come out with that outrageous idea.

It all depends, what kind of shampoo do you use?
