Guild Wars 2

I have had a look on Google but not sure how relevant the builds are to the state of the game as it is today, so was wondering if someone could post there current build.

Also this might sound stupid but for a conditionmancer build should I be working on stacking the condition damage stat?

Have a look at Nemesis’ “Necromancer Tutorials”. They are stickied at the top of the necro subforum.

I used the rabid set. All I can say is I honestly hate it.

No power means any thing structure you do like no dmg. And condition is bad because there is a limit of 25 stack.

I tried to go power build and I hate that too. There is no aoe dmg for axe or dagger.

I’m thinking of going back to condition build but use rampager gear this time.

I got 8 lvl80 and I have the most trouble deciding what to do with my necro. I’m pure pve btw.

So just keep in mind. Rabid gear does have it flaw.

isnt rampager armor a problem too? You do have tons of HP, but don’t you go down super fast?

I think Rampager is likely too squishy. Even in PVE I get knocked around alot in Orr.

FWIW, here is a Rampager build I’ve been theorycrafting, which has a decent mix of Power, Crit and Condition Dmg, along with some Toughness and 30 in SR to mitigate damage:
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/necromancer/?5.0|b.1o.h2.8.1o.h5|6.1o.h2|1o.7m.1o.7m.1o.7m.1o.7m.1o.7m.1o.7m|1o.61.1o.61.1o.61.1o.61.1o.61.1c.61|0.k27.k25.0.u2ac|2m.1|3r.3u.3x.44.4f|e

At least it could kill a weapons rack, compared to Rabid. But even with Dolyak runes, EHP of 24k is pretty low. (By comparison, the build in my sig has 34k EHP plus a ton of regeneration.)

To the OPs second question: ideally, you’d stack both CondDmg & CondDur. But I find just having some CondDur (via the Spite traitline), while not ideal, is ok in a cond/power build (at least for PVE).
