Guild Wars 2

I have a necro and I quite like playing but cant seem to find the right build, that’s fun but also effective. I think having the pets is a bit boring.
So if anyone could give me advice on builds and weapons that would be great

What game mode?

What game mode?

PvE is all

You would have to specify what exactly you like doing in PvE – open-world exploring, zerg event/farm trains, dungeons?

I find the usual dungeon build for necro to be disgustingly boring and so to play something more fun we would probably have to move a way from the optimum.

Oh of course yeah. I mostly do a lot of solo exploring really because I’m only level 51 at the moment and I like to do a lot of questing.

So for funzies I’d go with:

Rampager with epidemic. Spam all condis and AoE, then Epidemic. I would love something similar to be viable some day.
The fun comes from unloading yor conditions on targets and then spreading them even more with Epidemic. Lots of floating numbers, rotational gameplay (instead of spamming auto-attacks) and a very nice feeling of being the king of conditions.

Warning! this is just a build I’d go with if I were bored with the meta stuff and/or had too much gold. Also – don’t pay too much attention to the rune choice – Traveler’s are expensive, but I’d go with them for open PvE any day.

I’m sure some other guys will come and link you the meta/dungeon build you may consider a better choice in the beginning (considering the possible gold restraints).

Cheers!

For soloing go with a condi build, similar to what leman linked. Rampager I believe is the highest damage possible, but rabid, dire, and carrion are all also acceptable depending on what you are aiming for (and what’s cheapest). Krait runes are super cheap and can be really nice. Note that while condi is just fine for solo, you’ll want to swap over to power if you ever get into dungeoning.

This is really good thanks, and just what I’m looking for
I love conditions and condition damage , just so much better than plain power.

Thank you very much for helping!!
