I have to start by saying I really love playing the Necro Profession. I was one of the many that after reading these forums rerolled a warrior or some other class, however, I kept coming back and I find the necro (for pve purposes quite effective and on par). I decided to try the following build.

I’m using Norgu’s gear which is basically rampager’s stats. My scepter and dagger is Rampager statted and my Dagger/Warhorn is berserker statted. I’m not sure on which way I’m going to rune my gear, I am considering using 2 of Hoelbrak, Fire, and Strength for the 60% increased might duration. Any suggestions are welcomed. My trinkets are all Berserker stat items, I may switch this out for Rampager’s but I’m trying to keep my Crit+dmg at a fair level, my crit rate is 59% and crit dmg is 53%. Attack 3048 is and my total condition stat is only 300, however, take note that I buff condition damage through might as well.
At level 80, once I cast Blood is Power and cycle through Deathly Swarm (xfer bleed) Enfeebling Blood, and Grasping dead, along w/ any bleeds from Sigil of Earth, Feast of corruption and possible one more grasping dead before I switch to Dagger/Warhorn. My bleeds will tick around 119 per tick. On switch i gain 3 stacks of might, I would like to use Sigil of Strength on warhorn for might stacks, but it’s a little pricey, but paired w/ locust swarm I can see a lot of might stacks proccing. . I jump into Death shroud and spam LifeBlast for additional might stats and i can usually get close to 4k crits back to back thanks to fury proccing upon entering deathshroud. As my might stacks ramp up so does my dmg. I have attached two screen shots to show dagger dmg and life blast damage. If the entire chain of dagger attack 1 crit, I can get anywhere from 8-9k damage. Of course once the enemy’s health drops below 50% the 20% damage increase from Close to Death adds greatly as well as 2% additional damage for condition of foe from Target the weak.
I’m able to provide consistent aoe condition damage and respectable single target damage. It’s the build I enjoy most as it feels like I’m getting the best of both worlds. I’ve played pure condition and power builds and I felt very one dimensional, I truly enjoy the freedom of this build and the amount of damage it puts out. Seeing massive bleeds tick away while I’m doing 8-9k dmg w/ my dagger is just beautiful.
Well fellow necro’s I’d love your input. It’s quite possible this build has been discussed before…if it has or hasn’t a build this sweet deserves an awesome name.
