Hi all…I have been out of the loop for quite some time (I broke my wrist). I haven’t played in about 4 months or so? I was wondering what a good PVE build mught be for a condition necromancer. I’m still quite low in levels and still somewhat new to the game, but I would like to make sure I’m headed in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your help!

Tbh there of plenty of topics on this page about the same exact thing.
Sorry about your wrist welcome back to GW2. Do a little research; condition necros are in a good place pvp wise IMO and on Oct.17 there’s a patch that’ll supposedly help conditions in pve.

Conditionmancer Bawi-style:

  • 30/30/// + 10 is universal for every dps condimancer (10 death magic for starters), so is 40% pizza
  • full rabid is a given
  • +100% bleed duration is the single biggest dps gain, MUCH more so than any amount of condi damage you could realistically trade it in for. Assuming you make you of the duration gain (a.k.a. no cleanses or mobs dying too fast)
  • 3 Krait & 3 Afflicted runes + rabid weapon is the best way to reach the missing 30% bleed duration, assuming you can make offensive use of Weakening Shroud (Curses IV – 15 sec ICD) regularly.
    If you can’t, then go Hemophilia (Curses II) plus 10% condition duration from somwhere else (rune set or giver weapon or 10% bleed duration sigil… runes being the most reasonable)
  • Sigils of Earth beat Geomancy most of the time (Epidemic bursts or PvP aside). If you have to ask for directions you wanna go earth
  • Flesh Golem.
  • rest is fine-tuning and playstyle

Go for minions as utilities for more steady damage (hf keeping them alive though) or go with the link above for epidemic goodness
