Guild Wars 2

Looking to get a little help with my new necro. I’ve been on an engi for awhile and wanted to try some thing different. I mostly solo roam or run in a small 3 man team.

I’ve been using this build here

While this build is a lot of fun, I’m having some issues with it. For instance stacking condi’s and putting real dmg on people. In general I keep people cc’d for so long that they eventually die and if I run into a small havok group it using takes a long time for them to kill me.

My question is how can I up the dmg to put real pressure on people?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

True…it’s not always easy to stack condi:s, especially not against tight teams.

Concerning your traits… Some would argue Hemophilia and Lingering Curse are not worth it in WvW due to the condition cleanse. Reaper’s Protection looks nice at a first glance, but it has an internal cool-down, and I prefer to use conditions applied to me actively in fights instead of passively clean them.

I’m currently prioritizing high condition damage over condition duration, and I try to cover important conditions (like my bleeds) with expendable conditions. Nothing revolutionary, but maybe it will help you to get going. I would also trait more aggressively when roaming in small parties, typically nothing in death/blood magic — but that’s me.

change those runes of the necromancer to runes of nightmare. Your conditions will last longer and fear still has a 100% duration.
Change lingering curse for path of corruption. Most your condition last long enough and corrupting boons will help you and your team alot.
It is probably for the pest to change vital persistance for path of midnight to make some of your most powerfull condi damage (doom and dark path) application come faster up.

Looks like a pretty good build to me

I would say work on timing your skills better and learning what classes do what. It sucks to put out the full necro condition stack just to have it cleansed off a second later
