What stats should i prioritize on my gear for a dagger necro?

Berserker.
Dagger nis the best direct damage weapon of the Necromancer, then you need to focus on it.
You can also try a more defensive build, but berserker is very good with dagger mainhand.

Assassins is slightly better than berserker for non DS builds. But this could all change with the new trait stuff. Either way they both work and theres only a small difference.

Beserker, Assassin’s, and Zealot’s are all good gear sets for dagger builds. The first two put out superior DPS, but Zealot’s provides much better sustain without losing too much damage.

Really?!? These guys are telling you zerkers is best for necro? None of their skills or traits work off a critical hit mechanic!

Do some thinking and you’d know that power, toughness, and condition damage are what you need. Take the trait that converts toughness to condition damage.

Necros are slow so you need to be able to stand in the idle of a swarm and not immediately die. Don’t try and glass cannon a necro. It’s not worthwhile, their critical hit ratio and damage will never match up to say an ele.

Recognize the Necromancers strengths. Use their toughness, death shroud invulnerability, and conditions to crush your opponents.

If you die in PvE as Necro in 99% of situations its because you fell asleep, and some extra toughness won’t have helped the extra 1%.
