Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone.
I have a level 80 Asura necro that I got to 80 a year ago via a healthy bit of crafting and Dagger/Dagger and I forgot what else.

Anyways, I decided to make a new Necro and level in the open world. I am going to take my time with this one and have fun as well as try to learn all I can about this profession.

Highlight is fun, which for me is wandering about exploring all the nooks and crannies of the world and killing anything that stumbles into my path.

My experience level is I am a clutz. I cannot do jumping puzzles to save my soul and there are some Vistas I have problems with.

I do try to dodge, but being a keyboard clutz, I don’t do it well, and would probably be jeered at if someone saw me try to dodge

Anyways, I created a blonde, side pony tailed, human female with an attitude, used a birthday scroll, and set out adventuring.

I am level 23 so far.

My equipment/set up so far….

I had never tried Staff before, so I bought one of those as well as Dagger/Dagger

I am running with a crazy Bone Fiend named Pickles and a dignified Shadow Fiend named Hilda Rose…imagination is a scary thing sometimes.

I am also running Signet of the Locust

I get up close to the enemy, use my Staff, then switch to my Daggers and help my companions (Bone and Shadow fiend) polish them off.

Is this ok for my purposes??? I will never set a single toe into a dungeon, or a fractal, or WvW or champ trains.

Can anyone give me advice about what weapons, traits and armor an Open World, adventuring, leveling, Necro with a clutz behind the keyboard should be using…or can anyone point me to a Guide to Open World Necroing???

I am determined to make a go of this and not resort to crafting.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Lisa-Gulping down coffee and headed off to work.

Ok for jumping puzzles I strongly advice you spectral walk when you reach a hard part of a puzzle just activate spectral walk and when you fail you can just teleport back. You can also jump from any height almost unharmed with this skill by jumping by activating the first part a bit before you fall and activate the return immediately afterwards.

For a build I can advice you a condition minionmancer. You are allowed to range with the scepter the enemy will your minions draw the attention of the enemies. Even if you get the attention of your enemies you should be abble to kite easily thanks to perma cripple and what little fear you have. If your minions are getting low health use ds #4 at a bit closer range to heal them. Even if you are hit your faithfull minions will heal you.

If you can’t be bothered to switch traits/skills us this build:

If you can be bothered:

blood is power can be switched for any skill, epidemic, corrosive poison cloud,spectral wall and signet of locust are solid choices. If you face an enemy which has full bleed stacks use fear.

for both builds:
Focus on hemophelia first, and then the minion traits. The gear should contain condition damage .

Staff + d/d seems decent for PvE. You might want to change the daggers for scepter/focus with the utility Epidemic if you face big groups of enemies.

MM zerker necro axe focus staff is easy mode open world leveling.

For open world: pick any weapons set… just keep it up to level (armor too).
Hit your skills whenever they’re off recharge and you’re good to go.
