Guild Wars 2

Few days ago, I finally decided to give the D/D a try. I’ve been using D/Warhorn for so long now just to access Locust Swarm with the build 30/20/0/0/20. I’m not glass cannon since I use Knight armor.

This is the new Necro build I’m currently using:
My D/D Build

I’ve always thought that offhand dagger was actually only meant for conditionmasters, but the synergy between Blood is Power and Dagger skill 4 is just great. In other words, a nice combo would be:
1- Blood is power
2- Dagger skill 4
3- Go in and out of Death Shroud instantly next to your opponent to Gain Fury, Retaliation, activate Enfeebling Blood.
4- Dagger skill 3 (Immobilize)
5- Well of Suffering.

You now have Fury, Retaliation, and 10 stacks of might on you, while your enemy got around 8 stacks of bleeds and Fumble. Next time you go in and out of your Death Shroud enfeebling blood would be still on cooldown, so you can use Dagger skill #5 to replace it.

I usually like to keep the staff as offhand because you never know when you will need to switch to ranged, be it in WvW or PvE. So as you might have guessed already, I pretty much like to do WvW and PvE with this build. sPvP is a totally different story, and doesn’t interests me much.

What do you think of it? All constructive criticism are welcome

D/D is a very strong build all around, although you could probably drop it for something for more damage when in PvE (since condis aren’t that much of an issue, and staff transfer works fine).

Drop it for what? My auto-attacks, especially in PvE where I get more buffs from allies, ends up doing 4k+. Yesterday I even saw some 6-7k auto-attacks with 20 Might on Melandru.

Focus? Reaper’s touch does nice damage while also applying vulnerability. I also love the boon removal, though that doesn’t really matter when it comes to PvE
