Guild Wars 2

I finally hit 80 on my necro (hooray!) and I’m trying to decide on a build. Right now I’ve got tons of DS traits and that’s been fun (especially the +50% crit). But I like using Wells too. So I’m trying to decide which would be better. Mainly looking to do some PvE dungeons and the occasional WvW if I can find a group to run with. I think I’d rather do a Power build rather than Conditions. Favorite weapons are Axe and Staff but I’m open to others. Any advice? Pointers to builds?

You can combine both in a 0/20/0/20/30 build for example and that’s very effective in zerg WvW play. If dungeons are your top priority, you should roll one of the classes more useful in that kind of content though to be honest.

As said above, you can have both and still be very effective. Here is the build I currently run for large group WvW:

The #7 Utility is kind of a floater depending on the situation, and I sometimes have Chilling Darkness traited instead of Banshee’s Wail. I also sometimes change some traits for LB focus build when fighting unorganized or non-guild forces.
