Q:
Non-Glass cannon power necro (Dagger based)
Knights gear is the way you want to go if you want good damage and good survival. However since you build has the 15 point curses trait, it may be okay to run some valk gear as well.
Generally speaking the better you know the PVE fight, the more zerker gear you want to put on. The toughness isn’t going to do anything if you know how to avoid the big hits and it doesn’t effect agony.
I ran a build like that for a while and found the damage was just too low to stand. It is a fun build for wvw in PVT gear, since you are a house to take down, but in PVE it sort of feels like playing a strickly tank guardian… kind of wasteul.
