guard ,nades eng ,Trap thief \ranger ,signet\shout warrior, zerk mes\ele & shiro rev.
A full soldier gear set makes the necromancer very hard to kill and still allows it to hit like a truck with dagger main hand!
Plus, it can be used on many different builds: Spectral and MM being my favorites on this gear set.

Yeah, the primary aspect of the juggermancer is the full soldier gear. The traits and utilities are optional and you can just change them around based on your needs as the primary difficulty of making a solider necromancer is getting the gear.
The thing is, with 30k+ health with kitten load of toughness and power, there is no doubt about the viability of a full soldier gear set. What build variety you want to come up with it, is up to you.

I haven’t run it since the patch, but…
Think about how much power a juggermancer generally has. Think about the new SR grandmaster trait where you get +50% crit chance while in Death Shroud. Now consider how long a fully soldier-geared necromancer can stay in Death Shroud due to their high vitality and toughness (and imagine tossing in some spectral utilities…). Then figure in the 30% critical damage you’d get for going 30 points deep into SR…
That requires a different trait set up than the basic Juggermancer, but it seems like it could be pretty neat.
considering the juggermancer build has what? 4% crit chance…
the extra 2% crit sounds pretty underwhelming but I haven’t tried it so maybe its just amazing. Let us know how that works out for you.
The 50% crit chance of Deathly Perception is additive, not multiplicative.
Mixing insults with your post is like pooping in a salad.
It’s pretty obvious, and nobody’s impressed.

thats odd then, I wonder why I am getting non crits in DS when I should have 100% crit chance.
Testing in the mists shows Deathly Perception to be additive.
If you aren’t getting crits at 100% chance it can be 1 of 2 things, you were affected by weakness or there’s a hidden maximum crit chance in the game.
As for Soldier gear, for WvW and PvE, I always found going burst power had more survivability since dead things tend to not kill you.
I’m omitting 1vX of course, but I don’t think the soldier would be enough to keep us alive in those situations often enough to offset the loss in damage I’d take.
Attrition – A pretty name for taking longer than anyone else to kill something.
