Hey guys,
I created a Necro with the intention to use in WvW. I have several other classes so I understand the game very well, no need for noob tips. But I’m having a hard time figuring out which are the most popular/optimal builds for Necro in WvW.
I’d like just one or two builds that would be my first ones to try and learn the class.
I roam and zerg, so both builds are welcome.

I’m posting a build review thread in a little bit so be sure to check that out, but in general the most popular and effective build for zergs is a power well build. Theres flexibility with what exact trait you can run, but I’d recommend 0/2/2/4/6 (with the DS stability trait) for beginners. Axe/X and staff is ideal, and I like warhorn offhand personally, but dagger OH works well too as a more defensive choice. I’d also use knight’s gear or PVT until you get the hang of positioning and then you can build more offensively as you learn how to handle yourself in a zerg.. especially if you start running with in organized guild group that can provide you with stability and might for critical moments.

@nearlight – Thanks for the reply!

I’ve been searching the forums and there seems to be a lot of flexibility for necro builds.
What would you guys think of this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQRBHbhG2IHNt22SjlNc4moWogOBCgZIqOg654MqWA-TlCBABmqSgQ7PokyvFMfgj6OA8EASR/AFKBTwE2GnEAyAovFA-w
