Guild Wars 2

Hi all!

I would like to ask, are there any “support” build for Necro?

By that i mean heals, and protective buffs, and not some crappy random buffs. But a build that is helpfull. And can be called support.
I packed heal power, but there are barely any skills that benefit from it -_-
Any suggestions?

There’s a trait that makes your wells cast Protection on everyone, and a trait that makes them ground target (On top of the AoE Heal, AoE Cleanse, and AoE Blind they already do). There’s a trait that makes your staff marks very large, and Staff #2 can keep regen up on 5 people constantly.

Mix that stuff with the trait that makes life transfer AoE Heal people and you’ve got a support build.

I’d probably take Plague for more AoE blind, but you can take Lich for the AoE Cleanse/Boon Strip too.

A support build for me would revolve around abusing the Transfusion and Deathly Invigoration traits to keep a consistent heal on people around you. Building around Death Shroud for the tankiness aspect and using Plague Signet for ally condition removal.

• Fast DS switching gaining retaliation and healing you & allies each time you cycle it, Life Transfer + cooldown reduction for more AoE Heals.
• Plague Form for the AoE Blind which helps zerg vs. zerg fights alot.
• Weapons is purely user preference, i would personally use scepter for bleed damage as direct wouldn’t be that strong and warhorn for mobility.
• High vitality, medium toughness for the tankiness. Vitality over Toughness for DS-HP as its 30% boosted too.
• Chilling apon switching runes i feel would be very good support runes and Stamina would help out in large fights for frequent dodging.

Just remember Necromancers returns on Healing Power is terrible, and isn’t worth focusing on over actual support runes/ utilities.

I went full Apothecary gear with Undead Signets for a mixed healing/condition damage support build. 1000 cond dmg + 1000 healing power + 3k armor is pretty amazing.

Relying on my staff to apply bleeds is a chore though. I prefer corruption over wells because I really prefer the extra cond damage and perma weakness of poison well + poison blasts. The last death magic trait is up to you. I chose Retaliation on heal since my heal is on a short CD and goes with the tank/support theme.
