Guild Wars 2

Thought i might share with you guys my necros trait setup, been using it since like forever and love it very much. Note that this is only and only the trait setup not the whole build.

0-0-20-20-30
Death Magic:

V Staff Mastery Staff skills recharge 20% faster.
II Greater Marks Increases area of marks and marks become unblockable.
(For getting the best of using staff) otherwise sometimes switch to:
I Dark Armor Gain 400 toughness while channeling.
VII Shrouded Removal Lose a condition when you enter death shroud.
Minor traits:
Reanimator Summon a jagged horror whenever you kill a foe. 30 second cooldown.
Protection of the Horde Gain +20 toughness for each minion under your control.

Blood Magic:

VI Transfusion Life Transfer heals nearby allies.
VIII Ritual Mastery Wells recharge 20% faster
also sometimes swap for:
Mark of Evasion Leave a Mark of Blood when you dodge.

Minor traits:
Full of Life Gain 5 seconds of regeneration when your health reaches 90% (30-second cooldown).
Vampiric Siphon health whenever you hit a foe.

Soul Reaping:

III Path of Midnight All death shroud skills recharge 15% faster.
X Soul Marks Marks generate 3% life force when triggered.
XII Near to Death Death Shroud recharges 50% faster.(love!)
also some can be switched by situations:
II Vital Persistence Life force drains 25% slower while in death shroud.
V Speed of Shadows Move 20% faster while in death shroud
XI Foot in the Grave Gain stability for 3 seconds when you enter death shroud (rarely because i find 50% dc really really great especially with Shrouded Removal)
Minor traits:
Gluttony Increases life force gain from skills by 10%.
Last Gasp Gain Spectral Armor at 50% health (60-second cooldown).

All in all it gives really good survivabilty and great support for party in for example dungeon runs and is fun to play with.

My guess is you run a staff build in dungeons? If you are going to work with staffs, I would figure you would want to go 20 in Spite to pick up increased damage on marks.

probably because it’s not a very good trait.

Have to agree, mark damage even when traited is meh, and that kitten projectile remains painfully slow. Staff is better utilized to apply conditions and c/c.

While that’s inherently true, half of his traits aren’t really beneficial to pve play which is what he was referring too. Might on LB would be a better choice.
