Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I’m trying to level up my necro and it has gotten to a point when my TTK is significantly higher than it has been before.

I’ve been using the same build since level 1 (Axe/Focus + Staff) with traits in Power and Soul reaping so far. My utilities have been Well of Suffering, Bone minions, and Signet of the locust, with a Flesh Golem elite.

I really don’t die too much, but the killing has all of the sudden (level 28 ish) became incredibly slow – are Dagger or Scepter faster options?

Thanks!

Most setups with axe/focus are MM builds since you would heal your minions with focus #4 and staff #1. Check to see if you need to upgrade your weapons becuz you could have outleveled them(which happens) while grinding.

Scepter is slow to kill but its there to stack bleed/poison and cripple. Dagger is a more aggressive playstyle with its fast hits mixing in with your utilities to do damage.

Dagger has the highest damage, so against any mob in PvE that doesn’t murder you in melee range the Dagger is the fastest way to kill them.

Do this: Spec all into Spite/Curses for power/Precision. Get full Power/Precision gear.
Run: Blood fiend, Bone Fiend, Signet of Spite (Power, don’t use it) Blood is Power, and Flesh Golem.
USe Staff, just for aoe or opening fights,
Then use Dagger/Warhorn. For the most part just 1 stuff down while critting and hitting for a lot. I’m level 51 atm and its just a breeze.

i agree with ronpierce about gear, traits and weapon choices. only difference is i went for wells for aoe dmg… i just like to kills 5 or more mobs at the same time.

marks, WoS or WoC (or both), DS 4 and usually all mobs are dead.. if not use your dagger.

also make sure u replace all your gear every 5 levels or so. exception are trinkets becuase u wont find the stats u need every 5 levels so u ll want to keep them longer.

If this is your first char and money are an issue buy only fine (blue) quality items… they are very cheap, but they help a lot.

Leveling generally slows down between lvls 20-60 on all classes. To minimize this make sure you have level appropriate gear every 10 levels (offensive gear using power mainly, condition damage is also an option).
