Guild Wars 2

So I have a few questions regarding leveling. At the moment I am a scepter/dagger condition Necro 10 curses 10 spite and 6 is in he toughness traitline(forgot the name of it )

1. I am huge on looks and I’d love to use a staff a lot cause they look cool, would a staff build be viable for leveling? If so what trait spec/skill slots should I use?

2. I recently purchased my cultural tier 1 as an Asura. But the runes I am using is minor afflicted, krait and centaur I think so it’s 15% more bleed duration. Should I be using different runes for the scepter/dagger spec?

3. For a bleed trait spec which type of gear should I look for in terms of stats and name? Before I got my cultural tier I was buying all “ravager” gear.

Thanks for any help! I’m really just trying to spice things up since scepter/dagger is getting a tad stale and I’m not totally sure what I’m doing!

1. If you are a Necro and you don’t have a Staff as one of your weapons, you are doing something TERRIBLY wrong.

2. I suggest using 2x Runes of the Afflicted + 2x Runes of the Traveler (Magic Find is always useful) + another Rune that would give you Power/Precision and Condition Damage.

3. You should focus in +Power, +Precision (for the trait that has a Bleed chance on crit) and +Condition Damage as you will be doing exactly that, placing Conds on mobs.

I have a staff in my swap but Ive yet to use it….. >.>

Also for the gear stats do I not want toughness at all?

I’d get Toughness on Accessories, as I did.
Maybe some too on one of your weapons. Depends on your skillfulness and how you manage to withstand damage.

Alrighty thank you for the tips.

Oh and about the staff thing I was curious if there was a 100% staff usage build viable for pve leveling, sorry if that wasn’t clear!

During low lv playing it is better to go with Scepter/Dagger for Bleed or Dagger/Warhorn for Vulnerability.

I chose the former.
