Looking for a Power build for WvW
0/20/30/20/0
staff and wells
carrion armor with undead runes, use accended trinkets with toughness vit and condition damage.
i run this build and infact for my guild its pretty well manditory for our necros to have at least staff and wells (if not the same traits) this will allow you to provide extremely high support with high ticks from your conditions. also this build is better then a berserker build for sieges (note though with this build 1 vs 1 you will get kitten but if you know what your doing you can turn around a 20 vs 40 battle yourself)

So I have berserk gear going right now. Power>Precision>Critical Damage. I’m looking for a WvW build that is good for small scale battles and big scale battles. I’m looking to do a lot of damage and support the team. Any help is appreciated!
A lot of damage and team support are not the same thing. You have to choose one or the other.
For wvwvw damage in a small scale, take a look at kitteno’s Zerker build or takarazuka’s power build. If you are looking for something little more beefy and Hybrid – Talentless and nemesis have some great hybrid builds.
If you are looking for a more support build, Del Onasi and Nay of the Ether are two of the best, and i think Nemesis has one out right now as well.
Personally I just run Minions in WvWvW small 5-10 man fights and they are fine. Than when I see a zerg, I swap to staff and just send in the Bone minions and Flesh Golem to die.
These are what I use for zerker geared necro.

I like the DS with marks gaining 3% lifeforce because it give you a little buffer health, Spectral skills are my bread and butter Grasp, Walk, Wall.
They other build I like is a Fury buff DS based crit just dance in and out of DS keeping fury up.

Some people run dagger and axe those builds dont have marks or spectral skills and tend to take wells.

Play a staff / wells build. 30/20/20/0/0, full staff talents, targetable wells, close to death. The 10 point traits in Spite and Curses is up to you (personally I like Terror in the Curses tree). Gear in a mix of soldier’s and berserker’s (skip runes and go with stat orbs), weapons are staff and scepter / dagger with sigil of blood. Talent into consume conditions / signet of the locust / well of suffering / well of corruption / lich or plague depending on the situation. Food is omnom pie and sharpening stone.
Mix soldier’s and berserker’s gear until you feel like you have enough survivability. Scepter / dagger is usually regarded as a condition damage weapon, but I don’t entirely agree – besides staff, it is really the only other weapon set with good range and AOE potential. Don’t sit there casting 1 with it, switch into DS instead if you can until you can go back to staff.

Correction, you can have a versatile condition or hybrid build for wvw but it’s a lot more difficult with a power build.
This is my roam/havoc power build that I like. It seems to be similar to another JQ necro Talentless who posts here, has a video and I think his build is around too. I sometimes swap the well to Suffering or Corruption and Spectral Grasp with Walk or Armor.

I also recommend 30/20/20/0/0—close to death, chilling darkness, targeted wells, staff talents. You can also do 30/30/10/0/0 if you’re willing to give up the reduced staff recharge rate. Use staff and axe/focus. Rare veggie pizza for increased condition duration. Skills: consume conditions, well of darkness, well of corruption, locust signet (switch to well of suffering if camped somewhere), and plague form. The main purpose of the build is to keep everything chilled. crippled, poisoned, blinded, feared, and buff-stripped, and to assist with burst (ds 4, focus 4, axe 2) when needed.

You can go full dps wells and still support quite heavily just by picking the right wells.
My build, works really well in wvw, few minor gear changes since i got some ascended but nothing special.

I have knights armor with ruby orbs an everything else is zerk. I run 30/20/10/0/10. does alot of damage and perma swiftness which is very valuable for wvwvw. I use spectral grasp to pull foes to me (as im quite squishy despite the knights armor) and I burst/shut them down away from all the heavy AoE. usually run well of suffering spectral grasp spectral walk. have alot of fun with this.
weapons dagger/warhorn (traited) and staff (traited). or dagger/warhorn and axe/focus depending on what I’m doing in wvw. pick up shrouded removal instead of greater marks when using axe.

Axe/Focus
30/30/0/0/10 or 30/20/10/0/10
Lich Form
That is straight dmg without using conditions.
Axe/Focus

the great thing about the 30/30 necro is that you can gear for condis or power and absolutely facer4p3. grabbing the 10 in death or soul reaping is just there to expand the playstyle in either which way.
