Guild Wars 2

hey guys, I was just wondering if there exists a good guide for what I’ve heard called the “standard condimancer” build on the sitting on a couch podcast, with traits being 0 30 20 20 0. I couldn’t find any in the sticky post at the top of the forum.

Thank you for your help

Google up “Lopezirl Necromancer” and read through the WvW and PvE guides. May not be exactly what you’re looking for, but things get explained well. It’ll give you a good starting point to start tinkering with stuff to get the most out of what feels right to you.

I’ve already read his guide and I disagree so much with some of the trait choices that I find it hard to find it useful. Using wells in a condition build like he does seems like a waste of utility slots to me. These synergize best with power, no ?

Maybe I’m just confused, but as a necro I want to be running with epidemic, corrupt boon and signet of rez, or signet of condition transfer

Wells synergize with all sorts of things. WoS is good with Power builds. WoC is just a great utility in a lot of different builds because boon-stripping is awesome. WoP is also a good all-arounder because Necro doesn’t get many boons otherwise. WoD is awesome in any build, but particularly good with 10 in Curses and Plague #2 for stacking Chill. WoB is good for dungeon support builds, and decent if you plan on standing in the well for most of the duration.

The signets are kinda garbage, tbh. Rez Signet is decent because it’s rez signet. Plague Signet is so-so because it’s breaks stun and immobilize/cripple, but it’s got a super long CD. Spite Signet is trash unless you’re using it to spike DPS with 25 in Curses, and even then it’s barely ok because of the CD. Locust Signet is probably the best because the run speed is handy, the heal is decent in a siphon build, and the CD isn’t too awful.

this is the build I run daily in WvW
