Guild Wars 2

I am planning on using axe/focus or warhorn and scepter/focus or warhorn as my weapon swap hand, i just want some inside opinions on builds and what weapons go good with each other.

This is tough because there is almost nothing scepter and axe have in common outside of a 6.6.×.×.x build.

Scepter is strictly condi while axe is strictly power. You could do axe with dagger in a power build that has better use of traits.

The best I can think of for axe and scepter is to keep swapping between them to stack bleeds and vulnerability while running minions but PvE solo rarely takes that long. Necromancer stacking is slow.

Yeah you need to figure out what role you want your necro to be. Those weapons don’t work well with each other. So if you’re going to be doing dungeon pve you will want a power build. Which could consist of the 6/6/0/0/2 or the DS one of 6/2/0/0/6. If you’re doing open world pve then it doesn’t matter. Wvw and spvp you can be very effect with a condition build but you will want scepter/dagger and staff only.

I’m gonna be doing dungeon pve and open world pve mostly, maybe i’ll go with the power build.

If you’re doing dungeons your best dps will be spoj’s build. If you want you can do the 6/2/0/0/6 DS build. It isn’t the best dps but it’s good and it’s fun.

Zomia, if you want to do dungeons, then I highly recommend reading this guide: http://dulfy.net/2014/06/30/gw2-necromancer-pve-guide-by-spoj/

So use the DS build for dungeons and open world.
