Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I’m still pretty new to my necro. Is there a standard Staff build for WvWvW that can best utilize marks and wells? It seems like a pretty fun playstyle.

Thanks!
Oy.

That is what I use, a wells build in WvW and love it. If you want bags, throw some wells out at a big zerg and watch the bags at your feet multiply.

Awesome, Kaysyn, thanks for the reply! Mind my asking the traits you use and the gear you focus on (Cnddmg,V,T?) for such a build?

I’d also like to know this, since I seem to be horrible at picking a target for epidemic and actually hitting it at the right time. I figure this will be easier for me to be useful.

This is the build I am currently using. In WvW it works really great. In PVE it can be fun too. Drop a well and watch things die.

(that link to the build isn’t working for me Kaysyn

For a any well build in wuv wuv you’ll probly want 20 points into Curses so you can cast them @900 range^^

Daggers my favorite, buuht when I feel like jus runing around in/ a zerg with staff and doing as much burst damage as I can i usually go with 30-20-20-0-0~ That way you get your staff cooldown’s, greatermarks, Blind-Chill-Poison Plauge, and 20% damage boost to targets 50% hp or lower^^.

Your wells and staff auto attack will crit for over 1k easily each tick easily if you’re in Zerk^^. (with enough crit damage and those traits you can almost get staffs weakist attack, Mark of Blood to crit for 900ish~)
Mark of Blood also regen’s all the friendly that it’s near too when it triggers, so works well to heal ppl that lead the push if you fight midfield^^

Copy/paste the link works. The breakdown of what I see is this:

Rabid gear with 6x Superior Rune of the Undead.
Superior Sigil of Restoration on staff.
Minor Sigil of Corruption on both daggers (why, I don’t know … maybe didn’t know a superior version exists, and that using it on both is not optimal?)

Weapons are Staff + Dagger/Dagger.

Heal, Utilities, and Elite are:
Consume Conditions
Well of Suffering
Well of Darkness
Well of Power
Plague

And traits are:
0/20/20/30/0
VI Terror
IX Focused Rituals
V Staff Mastery
II Greater Marks
II Bloodthirst
VIII Ritual Mastery
XII Vampiric Rituals

Context is everything.

The question nobody has asked is the playstyle of the OP. Does he/she run with an organised guild group? Or is this solely for roaming?
