Power Tank Build For Raid

Hi all, this is the first time that I post something on the forum. My main class is necromancer and with HoT I started thinking about a power build that can be used in raids as tank.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vREQNBIhF6kZToxGsbTwlGgeTskLYxTxu4YEKA0AWBUbh1QXA-TxRBABcp0BgnAglq/on+gHOFAXt/oMyMlgNGCAYVlUARM0C-e

This is the link of the build, can you guys give it a look and tell me if it’s aviable?

The build runs with Valkyrie (Power, Vitality, Ferocity). I calculated that, for tanking, 3 Knight trinkets and 3 Berserker trinkets are enought, giving you around 1360 toughness and enought precision to reach 100% crit chance with permanent fury and Decimate Defense trait.
With no need of precision in armor, we can replace it with Vitality, that gives you a lot of HP and, so, an high survability.

The specializations are Spite, Soul Reaping and Reaper.

- With Spite you keep stacking vulnerability too costantly having a 50% crit. change bonus due to Decimate Defense, a 5% permanent bonus damage because of boonstrip from Chrono and a 20% damage bonus when enemy0s HP are below 50%.
- Soul Reaping focuses on allow you to constantly switch to Reaper form that’s is our main DPS source. You can choose between Dhuumfire that’s is a DPS increase and Foot In The Grave, useful, for example, against Gorseval.
- As Reaper, you can choose between Blighter’s Boon, that can really help you staying alive considering that your RS skill 1 gives you 3 stacks of might per auto-attack chain, you constantly gain health, and Reaper’s Onslaught that is a DPS increase.

1st weapon set is Dagger/Warhorn because dagger is the highest dps weapon aviable for necromancers, the auto-attack chain gives you a lot of life force and warhorn give you a good CC skill. 2nd weapon set is Greatsword but this is a personal choise.

Is this, for you guys, an aviable build? Which are the good/bads of the build? Is it effective as tank or Chrono, DD and DH are better in this role?

everything fades to black

Sorry to break your bubble but Power is somewhat bad in raids even as full dps. There is not much sense in even trying to go as Power Tank. That beeing said, Necros are REALLY good tanks actually. The typical Condi Viper build has the possibility to tank and dish out almost 100% of it’s DPS. No tanking gear needed. Why bring a tank that can only… well… tank, when you can bring a tank that, in addition, does really good DPS?

It looks like this:

(this is the Viper/Sinister variant)
