I have watched many build on Youtube and read most threads about different builds.
I also see many threads of people complaining about necro’s are no use.

This Hybrid means: Condition damage + burst / Wvwvw + dungeon + pve
And I think this is suitable for all of them.

My gear is full Explorable gear with Coral Orb.
Power: 1813
Condition dmg: 1381
Crit chance: 52%
Health: 24995
Toughness: 1016

If have watched “Nemesis” and many more’s tutorials about different build but i could not get all i needed from it. They are near to perfect but does only suit me for like 70% of my game style. I dont like to change my traits every time i go from dungeon to wvwvw or from wvwvw to Orr for Karma farming.

The tactics of this build is just to lay down all your Wells on one spot and also your Staff Marks (When the time is right). When all is placed change to Scepter/dagger.
Necros dont have one good big hit skill but this will burst down you opponents meaning Burst=High dmg output in a short time.

In dungeon this is awsome, for example i love to do Cof dungeons and in Path 1 where you go to gate and kill the statue (“Go gate”). All my teammates just said “LOL – what did you do”
This does damage to structures and every other dead things that resist bleed (ofc dont use staff marks).

One of the highest dmg outputs on a necro is going Death Shroud, this is perfect for this build. You will get alot of kills so your life pool with gain very quick, plus that you can do dmg with your wells+staff+death shroud skills all at the same time. So in DPS i would say this outnumbers every other class, but only for a couple of seconds.

Please leave your thoughts on this build, its not that big difference from many other build but i think that the small adjustment make the DPS go higher.

For example the “Blood magic” (30) Vampiric Rituals is no DPS boost and does not heal you that much, but i think its worth it for the “Blood to power”

I would not recommend this build for small pvp 1v1 – 5v5. But in bigger groups than that most players will just stand in a big wells of death/blindness and all other bad things:-)

As i Said, please leave you thoughts on what can make the build better.

I love a good hybrid, but how is your survivability on this one? I realize both of your weapon sets mean you’re fighting at range, but still, only 1000 toughness for a light armor wearer seems fairly dangerous – even if you’re good at dodging/avoiding attacks…

Low toughness in WvW/PvE is fine. I have been running no extra toughness or vitality on my PvE/WvW character the entire time, you just need to be careful.

Just a small critique here, don’t take it personally.

This build is not a hybrid build in the slightest. Both your gear and your traits suggest that you are focusing heavily on precision stacking with a tiny amount of condition damage and power. From what I can tell, based on both your traits and your gear, this is honestly a dysfunctional glass cannon build. I say dysfunctional because you’ve stacked an absurd amount of precision for critical chance but you have absolutely no critical damage so at this point your critical hits are hitting like normal hits.

I understand that you are going for some synergy between condition damage and critical chance but with absolutely no critical damage your condition critical hits will not hit hard so I think it’s also fair enough to suggest that your build is also not a burst build.

All I see is precision, power, decent condition damage, and absolutely no toughness. Glass cannon with no cannon.

^ What he said.

You build is not hybrid at all period exclamation mark. At least try to make it look like your even trying to make it hybrid by equipping a axe or dagger in your offhand instead of staff….

I can’t see any use off your critique when you dont give any suggestions on what to do insead. Its very easy to criticize, without giving you any suggestions on what would be better.

Hybrid is this not where you make use of both Condition dmg and Burst dmg?
And yes, i think this build cover them both, i also named the thread “My view of Hybrid” meaning this is not the typical build for hybrid.

Burst dmg is this not where you have a high dmg out put over a very short time?
My bursting is not only from one weapon but more from the complete build.

@Too Frisky: you are focusing heavily on precision stacking with a tiny amount of condition damage and power.

I have all my gear set to +Power / +Precision / +Condition.
So i would not say Tiny amount of Condition damage and Power.
I actually don’t know how i could get higher stats with only using Exotic gear?

@destijl: how is your survivability on this one?
I would say its pretty good. I have 1926 armor and almost 25k in health.
With the use of Lich Form and Death shroud it also helps you stay alive.
But so far I dont have any problems at all staying on my feet’s.

It depends on how you play this in game. I feel like what this really is, is a condition build, where you sacrificed all your extra HP/toughness for power (not a bad thing in PvE, don’t get me wrong). I’d suggest that, since you have such high crit chance, that you pick up a bunch of sigils that apply conditions on crits, it can be whatever you want, but that will abuse your pretty good crit chance to use even more condition damage. I would also suggest using a stacking sigil with your weapons; you can put it on your dagger for either stacking defense, or even stacking even more offense.

I would also suggest dropping the dagger CD reduction, and picking up 50% better siphoning, since you have well siphoning and siphoning on hit.

I think in PvE, this build is fine. You’ll have incredibly high damage, and as a necro it is really easy to go all in offenses and never have an issue staying alive. Hope that helps.
