I have this build with WvW in mind, thats all I use my necro for, but i also farm abit sometime, change elite to flesh golem then.

Staff, sigil of battle
axe/dagger sigil of earth,force

Runes are Strengh ( I have been thinking of rune necromancer too)

Carrion armor
knight trinkets.

SLOT skills : Consume conditions, Blood is power, corupt boon, signet of lucus, lich form.

Traits
30 ( V1, V11, X1)
10 ( V1)
10 ( 11)
0
20 (V1,1X)

well Its a kind of well rounded build, with power as main stat.
You will get up some more condition damage from BIP
you have multiple ways to remove or transfer conditions.

I sometime change locust for epidemic, and in pve i change corupt condition for well of suffering.

Might not seem so great combination but staff do hits when landed and the build try to focus abit on fear duration aswell. Forms mostly use power otherwise

stats should be around
3300 power
33% crit 34% crit damage.
2.4k armor
22k health.
500 condition damage.

Without food or buffs ofc..

So you are rather durable while doing good damage.
Any ideas on how to improve it?

Are you running with a dedicated group or solo?

If you are running solo, than it will work sometimes, and other times you will get crushed. The key in solo roaming is avoiding the zergs. Thanks to culling being off you can see them coming a mile away.

If you are soloing than I recommend either going more defensive or more offensive in your spec. Hybriding is fantastic in groups because you can drop a bit of health to gain more damage, but when playing solo I like to go all the way in one direction or another.

I am not an expert, but that 22k health scares me as a solo without more damage. However if you can take down a supply camp solo than that’s all that matters ;p.

I guess, its not a tank build, but the defense is good, iv soloed with ranger, thief, mesmer and guardian to compare, just that necros dont have any get away buttons that some classes have so getting zerged will happend from time to time.

My necro is my latest char but I have to say its probably the most enjoyable in wvw experience. Id prob go with guardian for tpvp though.
