Guild Wars 2

I just hit 80 on my necromancer and could really use advice as to what gear to pick up for wvw…. small scale and roaming – 1v1.

I want to play to the class strengths not be a snowflake.

I dont know if I should mix and match but really could use some guidance here if someone could post some builds with gear for this

Thanks

Carrion, dire, rabid, knight, soldier, valkyre – stuff that works in wvwvw roams without dying to every 2 man group in 3 seconds, tho zerker ofc works as a siege well bomb.

A necromancers main strength is condition. So having something with toughness can make you a little bit more durable. Been a while since I’ve been in WvW but they were using a lot of well necromancers along with spectral wall to do massive aoe but those were for zergs. For more small scale one on one you can probably do a mix of spectral wall, and some other skills to do conditions. Best of luck to you.

What is your trait setup? I would go with Gear that helps round out your Traits. For example, if you have plenty of Toughness but little Vitality you might want to go Dire. If the opposite is true then Rabid would be a better option.

Depends on how you have your character setup. You a condition or power build?

No setup yet, I just dont want to invest into one type of gear if a mix is the best option. Similar to the elementalist mixes.

Whatever works best for small scale roaming, 1v1 encounters in wvw. People say dire,

so entirely dire gear with rabid trinkets?

Any variation of terrormancer is good for 1v1 and small scale roaming, I think dire is more for zergs though… I like rabid, rampagers, or carrion for roaming and 1v1s. Dhuum terror with perplexity runes is crazy strong

Dire & Rabid. Mix and match to your liking, it really doesn’t matter all that much – even less so now that Dhuumfire is on-hit (life blast) instead of on-crit. Dire gear with rabid trinkets works like a charm, so you can use your pve trinkets (loligotrabidtrinketsforpve) and just get a set of dire gear with your choice of pvp runes.
