Guild Wars 2

So, I burnt out on the game a little while back, but once my new MMO mouse arrives I plan on jumping back in. I got a level 80 Necro and I would like your guys advice on the best WvWvW build, I’m looking for high damage in one on one fights, but I also Zerg a lot, are there any good build out there for me? what weapons are where its at? Thanks for any and all advice c:

I was actually about to post a similar thread, since the patch changed so much I’m not really sure what is the “best” build anymore. My build was hybrid before the patch, and still is. I don’t suggest that though because I often feel like I should be one or the other not both condition and power.

Pre-patch power builds were considered better for zerg v zerg while condition builds were better for roaming. I suspect that’s still the case. Keep in mind that both options will work for both roles, they just have different strengths and weaknesses.

If you zerg v zerg a lot I would suggest you go power. Staff/Axe + Warhorn. I would go 30/0/10/0/30. Take Axe Training, Close to Death, Greater Marks, Unyielding Blast, and Deathly Perception for sure. The rest is up to you. Mix Knight’s and Berserker’s gear. Axe is great for WvW power builds because it gives you a lot of retaliation uptime and retaliation affects everyone that hits you. That can add up to a lot of badges. Staff is basically a requirement. I like warhorn because Axe 3 + Warhorn 5 + Plague Form is a great zerg killer. Especially if you use Superior Sharpening Stones. Also you’ll have a piercing life blast with a ton of crit damage that will be critting greater than 90% of the time. With a 1200 range. Spectral utilities wouldn’t be a bad bet, since Spectral Armor has a shorter cooldown and both Spectral Armor and Spectral Walk remain in effect during DS.

Of course there is a chance that I’m doing hybrid builds all wrong and they are actually the best thing ever. I don’t really know.
