So, Ive been playing gw2 since launch and haven’t touched necro with a 10 foot pole because of all the negative feedback I get on them. Now as HOT comes closer and I’ve maxed all other toons I’m taking a shot at Necro. tbh, I find them amazingly fun and hella tanky but im not max level yet on him and im wondering what is wrong with necro to have such a large percentage of the community to have a negative outlook on the professions current state?

Also interested in some builds to play for Dungeon’s and PvP that are better than my online friends idea’s of “go Lich form and blow kitten up”.

BONUS ROUND!!!! : How do you think Reaper will compare with other elite spec’s because it looks kitten and chill is annoying as hell.

This is a Spectral Wells build I use: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNAoYWjc0QLNWTD22AHOOsGKZAEy/6MBigMguC1wkC-TZRBwAbOEAlLDs4EAYd/BAPBAA

I’ve gotten some good feedback from others who use it, as it’s very durable and hits pretty hard, considering it’s lack of ferocity and precision (outside Death Shroud)

One important tip is that if you have zero life force, pop Spectral Armor and as long as you’re getting hit, you’ll get 80% or so of your life force. If you have life force, and want to have really good damage resistance, pop Spectral Armor and go into Shroud. You’ll still keep the effects of SA (including the protection. Which as far as I’m aware, stacks with Death Shroud’s innate 50% damage reduction to give you 83% damage reduction, plus Life Force generation)

I use this build in all game modes. Though, Lich is not recommended to use unless you’re up on a ledge, or you’re using it to put pressure on lower health enemies in a team fight. Preferably both

Well unless you want to run a self-made build i would suggest you look at http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki for good necro builds (or any other profession).

For PvP i’ve been using this : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNAodWjc0QrNWeD22A/NOwFKZP017LcACgWg2FxxXA-TZBBABAcIA44EAgxTAwn9HEvMAA

Been playing with foot in grave and 50% Crit in shroud but so far Int sigils + Foot in grave seem to b better team play which I focus on. I don’t 1v1 much if at all.
