Hello everybody!

I am playing a Sylvari Necromancer and I came with a power/critical build which i would like to have some feedback on.
so my traits are:

Spite 30 VI, X, XII
Curses 20 V,X
Death Magic 0
Blood Magic 0
Soul Reaping 20 II, VI

For weapons I have Axe(power, tough. vit)/Focus (power, Prec, crit dmg) and Dagger (power, Prec, crit dmg)/Warhorn(power, Prec, crit dmg) both sets have 2 5% crit chance sigils. EDIT Thanks to Inhibitor and Bhawb I found out that these two sigils do not stack so i will be replacing them with 5% damage, thank you Gentlemen!
Runes on my clothes are “of the Pack” (power, prec, chance on hit to gain fury, might and swiftness)
Head: Rampager’s: Power,Prec, crit dmg
soulders: Knight’s: Tough, Precision, Power
Chest: Valkyrie Power Vit Crit Dmg
Hands: Knight’s: Tough, Precision, Power
Legs: Knight’s: Tough, Precision, Power
feet: Berserker’s: Power prec Crit dmg

Jewels:
1 earing: Beryl earring of the valkyrie Power Vit, Crit dmg
1 earing ruby berserker: power precision, crit dmg
1 ring Beryl ring of the valkyrie Power Vit, Crit dmg
1 ring ruby berserker: power precision, crit dmg
1 Necklace Beryl of the valkyrie Power Vit, Crit dmg

Total stats unbuffed:
Power: 2,324
attack 3,189
precision: 1630
crit chance: (says 38%) with weapons 48% EDIT with weapons 43% and DS/Rune Prock fury=63%
toughness 1,051
Armor: 1,971
Vitality: 1,185
Health 21,062 (on lifebar says 22,115)
Condition dmg 200
Condition duration 30%
Boon Duration 0%
healing power 116
crit dmg 74%
life force pool: 20%

For Healing Skills i use:
Consume Condition

For Utility skills i use:
Spectral Armor: for the protection and more Life force generation
Well of Suffering: For damage and increase in damage
and depending on if i am on Spvp, WvWvW or PvE I use Corrupt boon, or Signet of Locust
here’s a cheat-sheet to be easier to read.

Noticed you have 2 × 5% Sigils, from what I have read up on them, I don’t think that they stack; best use up the slot for something else, battle etc.

Two of the same type of 5% sigils do not stack, but a 5% crit and 5% damage should, I believe.

Your crit is a bit low to use Reaper’s Precision. If you are using Death Shroud often, pick up Terror to add a damage tick to your Fear. Could also do Weakening Shroud for utility purposes… Weakness is very nice.

Are you go in and out of Death Shroud often and what is your goal with that? You could just go with a 30/25/0/0/15 or 30/15/0/0/25 (depending on DS heavy you want to go) and grab one of the two damage boosters from 25 points in one of the trees.

Takazuka thanks for the reply, I use Reaper’s Precision because I need my Life Force to build ASAP since I use Death Shroud to deal damage and soak lots of incoming damage. (such as hundred blades, thieves or even infinite falling damage :P)

Usually I go in and out of Death Shroud when my cooldowns and Weapon Swap is on CD and I need to boost my damage, I try not to leave the bar less than 50% as a safety measure In dire situations press the big red button :P
Takazuka with Terror GW2 Wiki says:
This deals 2 + (level * 4.5) + 30% of Condition Damage damage per second.
that’s 452 damage per second in my instance, plus 50% more if there are any conditions on the enemy = 678. but that’s condition damage or normal damage? meaning does it Crit?
Doom ticks for 1 second so that’s it (sounds like nice damage), but what happens if i add Master of Terror? increases fear done by 50% so that’s another .5 second, how much damage I deal then? 452/2= 226? or none?
Weakening Shroud sounds real nice, I will test it as soon as i get home from work, thanks for the tip, if you got anything else i’d be glad to hear
