Condi necro PVE ?
Taking encounter design into consideration full Berserker is king in PvE, for every profession actually. Check the sticky on this subforum’s front page to get an idea of a max DPS necromancer.
Personally I find it rather dull to play, yet it’s super effective damage wise, but you’ll be ripped to pieces if your timing is bad.
If you like to play condi, do so by any means. I run multiple condi setups for any kind of game mode and except for WvW solo roaming I think those are way more fun to play.
I just love to see enemies bleed to death melting their brains with their worst nightmares while they burn and freeze, I guess.
Try to play both, and then choose.
Both are playable and have their ups and downs. People will tell you that condition sucks, but dont belive them. Rabid build is a solid set up, you may not ending dungeon fast as other classes, but you will do quite fine.
If u rly want to play with conditions, the hybrids are “ok” imo. Not the best builds but good enough.
Powernecro (berserker) is doing the most dps.
Ven,
I’d recommend looking at the thread from Nemesis. He has links to his youtube vids. Gives a ton of options for hybrid builds, condi builds, power builds and so on.
To save you some time here are the links… first is his forum post and the 2nd is his youtube page. Tons of useful info there and vids to show how they work and perform.

But in short just about any type of set up will work for pve. Some are faster while some are more durable. It will depend on your play style. Watch the vids, find something that looks like how you want to play, then study the build and go to town.
Good luck,
Cal
If you want to go condi use rabid carrion mix. Otherwise go beserker. Rampager is a really weak stat combo at the moment.
I personally use rabid conditionmancer for lvl 49 fractals, much easier to survive, can still does great damage. Also since the trash mobs have more hp you can generally get off fully loaded epidemics for massive aoe damage.
Another thing ia that unless youre really good, its pretty hard to survive higher level content at melee range in zerkers gear. For stuff like cof, coe, and arah i run zerkers though.
Berserker should be the best because of how pve is shaped. However, imo necro’s uniqueness, utilities are all in conditions. Weakness, cripple, blind, fear etc available are in condition build. Power build gets them too but not as much and using these debuffs often decreases direct dmg dps. While these debuffs exist more often in condition build’s rotation. Please correct me if this is wrong.
Thanks everyone i will surely follow ur guide spoj
