Q:

Hi, I’ve been playing gw2 for a while now trying various classes, and recently wanted to play the necro. I am liking the staff weapon a lot and I got to thinking if a hybrid stat build of condition damage and power would be good with just using the staff only? I just want to use the staff only, since i’m used to just using staff only on an elementalist xD I know weapon switching is a must and I will do that, but will just using staff only work?

This is mainly for WvW and PvE. With a hybrid set up, will I still be able to have some survivability? Or maybe I could go rabid stat armor pieces with valkyrie/soldiers/knights jewelry perhaps?

sorry if this is confusing xD thanks

A staff does work ok-ish with a hybrid build, and I suppose you could make it work but if you use it as your primary weapon you’re going to be gimping yourself. To be a successful hybrid, or any necro build for that matter, you’re going to have to get used to weapon swapping. Staff is fine as a secondary weapon for a hybrid, but you might want to go for dagger or axe for main. For the gear I would suggest either rabid or rampagers and mostly soldiers jewelry
