Necro Build 30/30/10
The basic build is this:

You can fill the missing traits and skills with whatever u like as there are quite a few ways to go.
And if u want u can swap the OH dagger for something else.
What i run now in tPvP is this:

Swapping out the offhand dagger would probably not be ideal atm. With CC, putrid, and deathly you can clear/transfer at least 3 conditions every 7~8s, and more often than not it’s a full cleanse. That’s obviously very strong in a condition heavy meta, and likely the main reason why necros aren’t seeing what all the fuss is about necros right now. With the new weakness, dagger 5 doesn’t only pressure the other team, it now alleviates a ton of pressure on your team too.
A little bit off topic but stuff like this is probably at the heart of necro complaints about a lack of stability. We have so many active defenses that disabling us is one of the only ways to kill us quickly, so most of the time when we die, it’s due to being disabled. That’s not actually a balance problem. It certainly isn’t now that we can have twice as much stability as the next closest competitor if we spec for it.
Both offhand dagger skills are also the only 2 offhand skills that add a significant amount of damage to a condi build, although there’s an argument to be made for wail of doom. The other offhands are strong, but dagger is a little ridiculous at this point.
If you’re not playing to win, don’t complain when you lose.

As someone recently returning to the game and wanting to try this out, what kind of gear works best with this build? Should I still run rabid gear or go for more power based?

Rabid for sure its a DPS build and your spike comes from conditions and fear (which is buffed by condition dmg)
