Guild Wars 2

Which one is better for PvP? I’ve tried both builds, I can’t decide which one I like more and I can’t tell which one is better.

Are they situational? Or is one better than the other in certain fights & team comps? Or does it not matter much and its all about personal preference?

I need some help deciding.

Condition build is better for teamfight massive damage.
Power build is better for personal survival and easier sustain

I actually feel that power necro is a bit more useful in teamfights, as its cleave posibilities are insane. 1v1’s feel more easy on a condi necro.

I’ve been playing a hybrid shout reaper. It’s pretty good in teamfights without a lot of power burst on the enemy team.

I’m partial to Condi, as you have greater utility and more “options”, plus arguably better matchups across the board, but Power teamfight is generally better since your cleave is upfront rather than over time, and for PvP at least I think it’s an easier build to play. They both generally do the same thing in slightly different ways, so it’s a bit of a grey area which is better. In general though Condi Necro beats Power Necro, so that’s a great reason to pick Condi instead.

Omg me too. I feel like the hybrid shout reaper is really underrated for solo queue.
