This is my favorite season 7 necromancer build ive made this season. Focused around being able to survive longer durrations fights aswell as being able to do big hits at the right time with Greatsword skill 2.
I’ve Posted a link to my YouTube channel below so you can see the build in action as well as a link to the build itself below that.
A link to the build on http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ would be easier for people to look at. More experienced players will want to mouse over the skills rather than watch a video of someone else mousing over them.
The gameplay video looked fine but a little more self sustain would be nice. I liked this build back when I used to play:
Yes you’ve solved the necro survivability problem, but now you’ve got the problem of your build having no real point.
You’re not packing corrupts or much damage so bunker/support killing is out. 1v1 is out because it would take too long. You don’t have the capabilities to force a decap. You don’t have the mobility to roam.
The only role that your build work for is bunking a point, however it’s inferior to scrapper and guard for that role since your build is far more vulnerable to being decapped on due to the lack of stability.
Your build isn’t bad, but it doesn’t bring anything to your team that couldn’t be done better with a different class. Which begs the question of “why?”
You’ve added more damage to the build yes. But warriors and guards will still offer better damage while also bringing other tools to the table. Against a bunker or a support, you’d effectively be hitting your face on a wall with that build.
A necro needs to be packing debuffs and corrupts otherwise the necro is a wasted slot better filled by another class.
This is the build i run, Sigil of Absorbition really help with debuffing and self sustain, “Nothing Can Save You!” paired with “Chilled to the Bone!” it’s your trick to destroy Mesmers and Guardians, nice sustain and good condition clear with shouts and Plague Signet.
Heh I never will understand how not many necros use blood trait. It’s by far the most under used trait. I have my power based blood build that melts all classes.
lol’ing at thos who use broken builds and claim to be good since 2005.

Underused? Don’t you mean over used? And if you are melting people with blood magic, those people are bad.

i wouldn’t say blood magic is objectively that bad these days.
Hey Vitali got a few deciples now. Yeah fun power tank. l got around to doing some ranked matches (I hate conquest) and In placement im 5 – 1 so far but I think I’ll do 9 and wait till a few days before the season ends and do my last ranked game lol.

Why state the obvious though, everyone who chooses to play a necro automatically agrees to play something that underperforms in comparison to other classes.

I believe that any build should play into the class’s niche, rather than trying to fill a role that other classes do better.
Any necromancer build should be packing adequate corrupts to kill support ele or bunker engi in a reasonable timeframe, otherwise you’re just dragging your team down by using necro for something that necro isn’t good at.
what makes you say nobody is better at killing bunkers than necro?
Nobody outside of condi rev has sufficient boon hate to kill a support ele / bunker scrapper in a reasonable timeframe. And condi rev cannot match necromancer in terms of debuff power. The entire reason necromancer became a staple of 5s was because the class is the only class capable of bring down the enemy team’s ele.
I’m sick and tired of having games where the other team has an ele, but we can’t do anything to it because our team’s necro decided that he didn’t need to run corrupt, no he’d rather just run a bronze level dps build that can’t kill jack.

I’m a new pvp player and currently I m running this build. I think its great although i use spectral walk instead of spectral armor for the mobility (if only necros were a little faster). It cannot carry the whole team in solo que but in 1v1 i think its good. I ve tried many builds and I liked this one the most. Im also planning to run shadowpass’s build just to test the extra damage cause the extra punch seems a good idea. It is a different playstyle than condi’s so it takes some time to get used to.
