Guild Wars 2

Most of these choices are made just because i like them, not that they are the best possible.
I like going as a hybrid and throw death shroud in there.
The question is: Is it viable?

The build (work in progress): http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQNAW3djMap7tbeaM8JEoHvXt4MRFOGqHrj78hA-jwCBIhAYLRmqAi8AmKAIFqIaslgFRjVVTQWlETjKpeEJFA-e

Don’t suggest any zerker builds w/ scholar runes. That is just what i don’t like playing even if it is the best.

In some ways this build is similar to mine.

There are some things that bother me though.

1. Last time I checked the 6th Mad King bonus doesn’t work with Lich Form.

2. This being a staff build, I wouldn’t want to miss out on Staff Mastery, that trait makes all the difference, unless…

3. …you want to make it more Shroud based. But then I’d really rather go full power.
With a hybrid build I’d definitely get at least 25 points in Curses instead. This way you’ll have more precision, Furious Demise and Target the Weak.

I’m not sure about viability as it is. Maybe try the same build with Flesh Golem and 30/15/10/0/15, 30/20/10/0/10, 30/30/10/0/0… or 20/30/20 like I did in my build.

I’ll be using this mainly in PvE/dungeon type. I like the staff traits, but i feel the minor traits are not useful, and if i’m in ds the cd will mostly go off.
I would also switch the soldier trinkets to something else, since necros are naturally tanky. Like what there is now or just carrion.

I mainly wanna go carrion/staff, since got it from ascended weapon box, lol

Your gear is good as it is.
I’m just saying that with a hybrid you’ll average more damage if you invest more points in Curses, with a pure power build you’ll get more from Deathly Perception.

Yea thanks I tried w/ both less curses and full (the trait line in the bottom) and the curses work better for me, ended in 30/25/0/0/15
