Best build for a pve-wvw Necro
There is no best build for both pve and wvw. If you want to be effective in both pve and wvw you need two different builds. :P
It is very difficult to make a build that is viable for both. You will most likely need to swap gear or traits to be in a good spot. In general, large scale wvw requires more survivability because damage comes from many sources and you can’t dodge everything, while pve is generally revolving around DPS and using dodges and other active defense to avoid the deathblows from bosses.
Conditions are very bad in pve, thus it would be more simpler to do a power builld— something like 30 spite 10 curses 30 soul reaping is a place to start.
Ascii’s build is also very solid for WvW: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Ascii-s-WvW-Wellomancer-Build/2499132
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

I agree with Spoj and Archon. There really is no single best build. I rebuild a lot and carry six sets of armor along with a pile of trinkets and weapons visiting a trainer several times a week.
