Guild Wars 2

Been checking out the direct damage thread and ofc the hybrid build and also the stickied builds thread but i struggle a bit.

Im interested in playing my necro as a an aoe profession in wvw with zero focus on support. I will run in large groups or zergs with him.

So basically i need some advise. I have scepter, axe, dagger and staff and carrion/rabid gear and also a rampage gear and i wont buy anything more so this is a limitation i have.

When it comes to runes i wont spend more than 15g on them and i have a rabid ascended amulet and rabid/carrion rings/accessories.

I would really appriciate some input from a vet wvw player.

Thx.

This is my opinion nothing else from a vet wvw player.
Running with zergs dont go for condition damage, people have way too much condi removal to make use of the condition gear. Go with power gear (mix of soldier/knights/cavalier), you do insane damage while you still apply the most useful conditions imo, which are chill/blind/cripple etc.
Use staff and axe/warhorn. 0/20/20/0/30 traits with focused rituals, chilling darkness, staff traits, near to death, foot in the grave.
Use well of corruption+suffering and well of darkness/spectral wall/spectral walk depending on the situation and preference and Plague.
Ive run different condi builds and power builds in zerging/gvgs for months and months and this build is pretty much the most optimal, a few trait points or gear stats can be changed for preference. This build is pretty offensive so if you are new to wvw I suggest you use a few more soldier pieces.

My favorite zergling build is 30/20/10/0/0 with the last 10 points being optional, taking close to death in spite, and terror and ground targeted wells in curses and finally greater marks. I run his with staff and scepter/dagger, all rampager gear and well of suffering, wel of corruption and epidemic. Sometimes I take well of darkness too depending on the situation.

Pretty much spam everything you have into an enemy Zerg and collect your bags.

I run pretty much the same build, 30/20/10/10 in full Rabid gear and accessories (I play on a zergier server so I need to be tankier), the last 10 points really is optional and I’m considering where to place them. My weapons are staff + sceptor/dagger with the Superior Sigil of restoration on both staff and scepter, and stacking sigil of some sort on the dagger (usually corruption). My utilities are well of suffering, well of corruption and the 3rd is either spectral walk or wall.

I get tons of bags in WvW, almost as much as my staff guardian but I’ve been thinking about mixing in some power into my gear to be more of a hybrid instead of being pure conditions.
