So I have always played a siphon spec in WvW, and despite what most players say, I think Vampiric/Vampiric Precision are useful for sustaining one’s health especially combined with high toughness.

I currently play 0/20/0/20/30 with 2k power/2800 armor, 50% crit chance, 70% crit damage, and Dagger/Dagger + Axe/Warhorn. I feel that I can survive a very long time due to my spectral skills refilling my Life Force very quickly, and my fast attacks with dagger/axe2/swarm proccing siphons at a nice rate to refill my health.

I have an idea for a very heavy crit build. This is what I came up with:
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/necromancer/?5.0|8.5n.h1.8.5n.h15.e14.0.d14|7.5n.h1.g.5n.h15.0.0.0|1n.a4.1n.a4.1n.a4.1n.a4.1n.a4.1n.a4|21k.d14.21k.d1a.31k.d16.21k.d14.31k.d1a.2s.d14|k58.f4.0.k25.f4|54.7|3r.46.48.4d.0|e

The idea is to have almost 100% critical chance when fury is up, and to use this high crit chance to gain maximum benefit from Vampiric Precision, Sigil of Blood, and Lifesteal food for self sustain.

Currently, when I get a critical hit with an attack I leech 90 health. With no internal cool down, this adds up to 360 health in about 2 seconds while attacking with dagger #1. This also adds up health very fast when channeling Dagger 2 and Axe 2. It is pretty nice considering it is just from traits.

This build also has 2700 armor which isn’t super great but it is high enough to take hits comfortably. And even though this build lacks power compared to a soldiers setup, it still gets close to 2k power, which isn’t terrible, and it can get to 2200 with bloodlust stacks. The damage this build puts out isn’t nearly as high as zerker, but with 97% crit chance, it is very consistent damage, and is still better than soldiers.

Even with only 15 in SR, this build can still fall back on DS for lots of damage soaking, and can refill Lifeforce easily enough due to Spectral armor, dagger auto, or axe 2.

So I need input and thoughts from you Necro’s who pvp in wvw a lot. Do you think this type of build would work? I need to really think it through because I do not run fractals often at all and I rely on laurels for my ascended amulets/rings. I do not want to purchase the niche prec/power/tough items if this build ends up sucking. But I do have a vision of this working very similar to the style of build I run now except with even more healing procs.
