Guild Wars 2

So… hello! I’ve been playing necro for quite a while now, since the game launch actually. I’ve gone from conditionmancer, to bunkomancer, and now currently I’m not sure exactly what I am anymore.

Currently, I’m running with a Axe/Focus and Scepter/Dagger setup. My traits are
30/30/0/10/0.
Basically,

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.5.4.2.18.13.0.0.0.0.107.119.111.109.128.0.0.0.306.310.312.317.319.326.0.0.0.350.0.0.0.0.0.30.30.0.10.0

• Edit*
  I swap out my wells with whatever utility I require at the moment. I go into deathshroud pretty much every encounter. I can pvp with this build too, but I’m pretty sure its only cause I’m used to it. Otherwise, would die that much more often. My playstyle basically revolves around switching my sets around whenever the skills are on cd ( and I play so they always are). I switch to deathshroud at first usually to give me that might boon, siphon health if mobs are bunched up, then switch out of DS to just work my skills. Rinse and repeat, heal when needed.

My stats are below in the picture. Still using all Greens.

My request is for some of you more experienced necros to advise me on what armour and weapons types I should purchase, whether my build sucks, etc, ADVICE ME!

*Edit 2 , silly me, scroll-over window was blocking my stats in the picture

That 30/30/0/10/0 would be considered a hybrid. Nemesis has a good tutorial video on it:

Also, do a forum search for “hybrid” for a number of variations on that build.

I..see. So I’m a hybrid is it? I’m guessing I’m the more tanks variety though. If I follow his suggestion, I won’t be getting much toughness at all. I have a decent amount of it in my current setup, all greens..Or is the idea of his build such that he never fails a dodge etc. Cause in dungeons sometimes its all bout lasting- and that’s where the additional toughness I have comes in handy( least I hope, and its not just ,my imagination)

Edit2* So..still not much response haha.Guess people are still sleeping. Yes,nemesis does have a hybrid build, as do others in the forum. But it seems none of them are concerned with survivability? I tried to purchase my greens so that I could pull off damage while still being tanks enough. What’s missing now I think is that my armor rating isn’t high enough. Could someone give me a set/combination of armor I can use that fulfills these requirements?

Edit* Please, keep the advice coming! I really appreciate more feedback!

Well, there is no cookie-cutter build. There’s a wide, wide range from glass-cannon to full tank. You are going to have to decide where you want to be on some specific stats, such as toughness, crit chance, attack, etc. and then work the build around those.

To give you an idea of the variety and some tanky builds, check these out:

Nemesis has a number of videos on a variety of disparate builds:

See also his Abomination build:

And…Sheobix’s Juggermancer:

You’d want for a hybrid build “Rampager Gear” the Precission, Power, Condition Damage armor. You can supplement the fact that you get no toughness with different runes/get toughness type amulets/rings/neck

Make sure all you gear is exotic type. It can be obtained from running dungeons, karma vendors in Or, or buy it of the TP.
