Guild Wars 2

So, a lil info before I start – necros were an interest of mine even during GW1.Was pretty obvious that the 2nd char I make will be a necro.However, now that I have it at 80 and with almost all exotic gear, I kind of find it an underwhelming experience…

The weapon I fell in love with when I was leveling was dagger, with staff for obvious reasons.However, when I was introduced to the wonderful boss mechanics that punished melees and later – the agony condition, I only feel that I’m pulling my teammates down when I play what I really like.

I had this idea of building a might necro – with BiP , 60% might duration from 3 2x rune bonus and sup sigil of battle(30% for might on crit).I thought that the power it provided, coupled with the life steal from the omnomberry pies would make me durable enough maybe not for tanking per say, but just enough so I may hold my ground at melee range.

It goes without saying that it failed quite a bit.It wasn’t even a bit what I hoped it would.The might stacking was slow and unreliable, the crit chance was lacking, and I wasn’t really tough enough to stand on the front line.

I really don’t know…the necro doesn’t feel the same to me as it did before.When I started it, I was overjoyed with thinking about all those many builds and choices I could make, yet that seemed not to be the case.

So…what should I go for? After reading the forums for a while, I got the conclusion that so far, the optimal setting is scepter/focus with staff and epidemic as basis for the build, which outclasses pretty much all else.
I’d also like to note that my main was a warrior that was leveled exclusively with swords(the warr’s condition damage weapon), so to take scepter for me is not an option…I just don’t like the weapon at all….
And, please don’t misunderstand that I want to see big hits like I do with my warrior.What I want to see is being useful with the weapons I enjoy.

Is that not possible right now?I would appreciate any feedback.

Edit: the question goes for PvE and dungeons exclusively, not for PvP.I do know that for PvE pretty much any weapon would do, but as I said – I wanna do the best I can.
