Ok ill keep it plain and simple: im new to gw universe and new to necro class. Ive Recently found out how to enter pvp (noob moment, ya i know -_-) and have tryeed plenty of necro build (im sure i missed some but meh). Now on my wits end and beign frustrated (they all say necro is broken i say it need practice) ive decided to adress this forum. And my question is simple: how do i make power build out of dagger/warhorn and staff while retaining condi dmg. Ive tryed running with ‘’http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/skills_tool/?lang=en&code=3837009tsdlrih4u10u0au04r4s5e5m5u5vh6’’ in pvp with moderate succes but i feel myself lacking (maybe more of a fact that ive only been active in pvp for 2 days >_>). So any constructive help would be very appreciated.
ps: pardon my grammatical errors english isnt my primary language

I’ll keep it simple too: You can’t effectively use dagger as a mainhand weapon if you want to run a condition build. If you want to use conditions, you need scepter, it doesn’t work any other way. At least, if you try to stay competitive.

Hi,

MH dagger does not mesh well with conditional builds. Most of the damage on MH dagger is power based, and as such, in order to put out the really big hits, you need to adjust accordingly. The power build you linked that you are using now works well enough for this purpose, although personally I find the vampiric traits rather lackluster and not worth the investment.

Also, I recommend using wells. Right now, you picked a bunch of skills designed to keep the enemy close to you so you can keep hitting with the dagger I assume. I dislike the dagger because of this — how close you need to get to the opponent. Although it does less damage, I switched to axe/warhorn + staff myself and rely on the staff for utility (the chill, and the fear) with DS life blast doing most of the DPS
