Guild Wars 2

I recently obtained a crossing after getting my necro to 80, and as you might know, you can select the stats on it for 1 time only. I’m running full zerker on my necro currently, but wouldn’t mind eventually getting a condition set for WvW down the road.

My question is: Which stats could I apply to the staff that would complement both WvW, and PVE builds? I’m not extremely versed in the ways of the necro, but I’d like to be able to use the staff without trying to get another one for a different build set.

Hah! Zerker sounds decentish, but I want something that’ll work between both condi, and power builds if possible.

Knights to me sounds like a safe option, but I’ve got little experience with conditions in general.

I’m in the middle of rewriting parts of my build (it’s a staff hybrid), but the bottom line for gear and traits will be: replace sigil of paralyzation with force and trait Banshee’s Wail instead of Master of Corruption.
I do have a set of ascended berserker trinkets, which I occasionally switch out for the soldier pieces in PvE, you could also go with rampager… the point is, if you spend more time in PvE than WvW you don’t need to be as tanky and could squeeze out a little more damage with glassier prefixes.
And if you want to have The Crossing out at all times, you can also put 2 sigils of corruption on the other set to fill the kill stacks (that’s twice as fast anyway).

Carrion, Rampagers, or Celestial are probably the best stat setups for an all-around necro staff where you want to use it in any given build. Pick whichever one you like.

Yeah, I was thinking carrion might be the way to go. It’ll give me a bit more vitality for those harder hitting battles, and should work with most condition specs. Turns out my scepter is also carrion, so it’ll work well with that.
