Confused about a proper condition build
is there something wrong with my question? How come there is no response yet? Bumping this thread in hope of a response.
I would suggest trying a different trait build for PvP that I have had decent success with. 0/30/20/20/0 does a very good job at keeping you alive while dishing out pretty good damage. You are, however, incapable of shroud-stomping, which seems to be a necessary technique in PvP. The good news is that you can just drop a few auto-attacks on a downed target and watch them die anyway while you engage their teammate (using death shroud fear to knock them out of revive)
That said, I am a rather causal PvP player and have not done any tournaments, so my experience is not one to be taken as “word of god”
So you know, Greater Marks makes landing those staff attacks much, much easier (and lets you laugh at Guardians with their virtues).
Thanks for the reply dranor. I assume shroud stomping means death shroud pwnage then?
Also, is there a link you can show me as to what talents are taken in this build?
Thank you.

use staff for supporting your allies or blocking routes from your enemies or just to be annoying, this build can transfer alot of conditions from you to enemies, Dagger#4, staff#4 be sure to use these

I typically choose Hemophillia or Weakening Shroud, Focused Rituals, and Lingering Curse in Curses, Greater Marks and Ritual of Protection in Death Magic, and Mark of Evasion and Ritual Mastery in Blood Magic.
If you decide to go with fewer wells (I usually run 2 or 3 total), I would suggest Master of Corruption or Banshee’s Wail (Warhorn 4 is a very nice 3 second AoE daze then) in Curses, Staff Mastery in Death Magic, and Transfusion in Blood Magic
“Shroud-stomping” refers to activating Death Shroud and the Finishing move simultaneously so you are in death shroud while performing the finishing move. Technically, any necro can do it, but the real reason to do so requires Foot in the Grave for 3 seconds of stability when entering death shroud (which in turn requires 30 trait points in Soul Reaping).

By ShroundStomping, he means using traited shroud to stomp (Finish) ennemy in downed state.
You have to get the Grandmaster trait in Reaper line that give 3 sec of stability when you enter DS. With stability you can’t be interrupted while finishing somoene in downed state.
Necro have it pretty bad for stability source, since it’s one of our only option. The other being using our Elite.

Keep doing what you are doing because that build you pulled out of thin air is almost exactly what the second rated player, a necro runs.
The carrion amulet with a mixed power conditions set is fine. You will evolve the build overtime I do recomend forcing yourself to get fast with putting down marks if you want the most out of the class, auto ground targeting makes it easy and fast.
Small changes to your existing build, look at the runes and sigs.
If you want to work on getting fast with Marks, give these a try its a better build staff lets you move the BiP self bleed and clouds self weakness putting it on targets.
