Guild Wars 2

I currently have 4 sigils (superior) – agony, earth, corruption, and bursting.
Weapons are the standard Scepter + Dagger/Staff.
I am currently agonizing over which sigils to pair together and on which weapons – the scepter/dagger has lots of bleed sources but I also don’t want to lose on the condi damage from corruption + bursting. Or should I go for a more balanced approach and have sigil of earth + corruption and agony + bursting and the weapon sets?

Bursting is pretty nice on scepter, as most of your damage comes out in scepter. Agony is a wasted sigil in my opinion as there are better ways to get duration without giving up an all important sigil slot.

Earth I don’t care for personally, as it is a wasted slot. More bleeding is just more bleeding that gets cleared. I prefer anything that can cover over Earth. Torment is nice for AOE pressure and no one would agree with me, but Frailty is very strong.

Remember most condition clears are X number of conditions, and a frequently applied Different condition is going to be a better choice then a pure bleeding build against cleansing classes. And the non-cleansing classes you won’t need the extra bleeds for Earth.

Also I like battle a lot. It is a nice substitute for Bursting, as it does basically the same thing, except it can snowball if you swap a lot, and you can end up with 9 might full uptime.

Except for poor hydromancy and ice, most of the sigils got better or at least stayed the same. I find the new RAGE is lots of fun too, but a little hard to get used to, as quickness is not a common necro thing. Quickness epidemic though….

Note: although condis are a waste in speed clears, this condimancer is primarily for soloing open world champs, and some less challenging dungeon support. WvW sometimes as well.

Frailty will definitely be underrated but it’s SO kitten good. A “filler” cover condi every 2 seconds is phenomenal to avoid your meaningful conditions being cleared.

With full Rabid, armor, weapons and accessories, I like to use a Superior Sigil Of Strength in my offhand weapon with a Superior Sigil Of Earth in my main. Earth in my Scepter and Strength in my Dagger.
With lots of precision, you’ll be getting plenty of might stacks. And if you have as many buffs as I like to have (Applied Strength, Applied Fortitude, Rare Veggie Pizza, Master Tuning Crystal, Corruption), Might will make your condition damage pretty much nuke anyone you cross paths with. Especially considering your Might gain will stack almost as frequently as your Bleeds. You’ll be on the squishy side, but being a Necromancer you’ll still be more durable than most.

This is for PvE only and specifically for doing the champ husks at the 3-Headed Wurm event.

scepter – sigil of bursting
dagger – sigil of corruption
staff – sigils of fire and force

This is with a 6/6/0/0/2 build
Armour – carrion, runes of the krait. (had been using scavenger runes)
Weapons and Trinkets – all rabid
