Cheap Necro Build For WvW?
the best and the cheap will be very different things.
full dire wellomancer with a wh/ax & staff will probably serve you well in large and medium groups.
have a look around the forums, you can replace most elements of a build with cheaper pieces, depends on what youd like to play etc.
The Ghost of Christmas Past
You can grab full 80 exotics (sans jewelry) in most of the basic stat sets (Zerk, Cleric, Rabid, etc) with WvW badges if you visit the armour merchants towards the back of the Citadel in your home borderland.
If you’re running with a zerg, you want to be a zerker wellomancer. Axe/X + Staff. At least as zerk as you can stand to be, swapping out for Cavalier gear if you’re having problem. I usually run 0 20 20 0 30 and Corruption + Suffering wells alongside Spectral Wall. Lich is tempting, but makes you a target; I have Plague to push through choke points and into lord rooms.
Condi necro is less effective but has its place if you’re running with an organized guild group. In pub zergs, damage = good.
I’d say cheap is around ~20G.
I have tons of condition damage/precision Ascended Rings in my bank.
I would prefer something that dishes out the most damage and yet has some survivability.
It’s WvW; your Death Shroud maxes out every 5 seconds. That’s most of the survivability that you need, with Plague as your ‘oh kitten’ button.

Buy carrion exalted armor and carrion pearl weapons on the trading post.
Many people craft these to level their crafting professions. Carrion is one of the prefixes which are sold far below their actual value. You’ll spend about 12 gold for armor and weapons. Each armor piece would be 4-5g and weapons 7-8g if you were to craft them yourself.
Rabid is more expensive because the insignias and inscriptions can only be salvaged.
Besides, mixing Rabid (your rings) with Carrion is more effective for both offense and defense anyway.
If you don’t want to buy more rabid accessories/amulet to boost your armor value, you could trait 30/20/20// instead of the standard 30/20///20 condi build.
just use WvW currency to buy gear then its almost free.
