I made this build RIGHT before this last update, however this doesn’t change the build itself, in fact the increased range for life siphon and the fix on vampire made this build function even better! You could probably switch out Locust Signet for Blood is Power, but I think the movement speed is too good to pass up. Here’s a video demonstrating how the build works, I’d love some feedback!
A Viable Dual Dagger Blood Necro Build? (Need feedback)
http://en.gw2codex.com/build/19291-blood-well-necro-d-d-point-holder
Here’s the build if you guys don’t want to watch the video, the main point of this build is to focus on survivability, support, and healing. Here’s what I wrote on the build page:
When using this build, I had a full set of Grove runes, and a Cleric amulet. The point of this build is to support your team with protection and healing through wells, while also maintaining your own health through powerful siphons and tons of life force to feed into your death shroud. This build works best as a point holder, due to the survivability, and as a support in a team fight.
The build works like this:
Start off with a blind, and Enfeebling Blood, go in to attack with your auto attack.
When the blind runs out, use your Dark Pact, and siphon your first bit of life.
Wash rinse and repeat, use death shroud whenever you can and use the 2nd skill in death shroud to get close to your enemies.
Use the fear on death shroud to stop enemies from finishing off your allies.
USE DEATH SHROUD WHENEVER YOU CAN!
Make sure to use wells appropriately, use them as a last resort, or a finishing move rather than an initiate.
You can sacrifice your signet for some extra damage, but only do it if it’s your only option.
Make sure to maintain range, you’re a necromancer not a thief, melee can kill you easily. Learn to run in when your blind is up and when youre finishing off, and when youre not you can kite while leeching.
