Q:

OK here’s the deal, when I bring my necro into wvw I normally roam with 1-2 guildies, and for that I use a condition/corruptions build. However, once in a while I like to join a big zerg and help take a keep, or clash with an enemy zerg and watch all those big numbers go up, and for these big group fights I think a power-based Wellomancer would be better.

My question is: is there a hybrid-like gear setup that’ll let me change from conditions to wells on the fly, without having to swap out all my armour and jewellery? I already figured out a nice attribute setup that works for both (0/20/20/20/10), which lets me change from small-group to large-scale play just by swapping 4 traits, 2 utilities and 1 mh weapon (scepter to axe), but I realise my well build is pretty kitten with my carrion/rabid gear. Is there a gear combination I can use that’ll let me do both reasonably efficiently? Or should I just bite the bullet and switch to power-based gear for both roaming and large groups?

You could go celestial or rampager for hybrid or carry a 2nd set with you.

Well the point is to be able to swap quickly so 2nd set won’t do it. Rampager sounds like a possibility, it’ll be horribly dangerous to play though! :p

I run a 20/30/20 hybrid with carrion/soldier gear for solo and small group roaming, if I need to transition into zerg fights I don’t change anything.
I usually just keep Master of Corruption but if the opposing zerg becomes too big and cleansing too frequent then I can always change that for Focused Rituals with WoS/WoC.
