Guild Wars 2

Hi there, before anyone tells me I KNOW how broken the necro class is and I know it’s also the class that will undergo the most changes (Hopefully positive)

Just wondering what the best (Best being fastest killing weapon) for levelling is.

Played a mesmer, so I’m not unknown to weapon swapping

Scepter/Dagger and Staff combo is the bread and butter, so to speak, of most necromancers. Dagger/Dagger and Axe/Focus are also viable alternatives. It just depends if you prefer condition or power.

Condition is useless in big fights like Shatterer and any swamped group event, yes?

Eh I wouldn’t say useless but scepter is nice because you can keep some distance. You don’t want to get too close because necros are pretty squishy. I keep all spare weapons in my invo but I haven’t swapped out to Axe since level 40 something. If you want to see consistently huge numbers coming off your screen, necromancer is probably not the right class for you. Conditions benefit more from the different trait lines than going pure power build.

Considering my last class was a mesmer, big numbers aren’t what I want

OK. It’s really hard to say. I can tell you that most necromancers I see go with either scepter/dagger and staff or dagger/dagger and staff, and those are good options for ‘fast levelling’ (I levelled quickly through doing dungeons so it didn’t actually matter what weapon I had; some weapons and skills are more useful in some dungeons than others) but those options might not suit your playstyle.

Axe/Focus is not viable.

You want fast kills? Dagger/Warhorn with full berserkers.
