Feedback on the build and video appreciated

Don’t take master of corruption, unless you plan to take consume conditions and corrupt boon, which with signets, you really can’t.

Path of Corruption is so much better (or even terror works). PoC turns your dark paths into condi bombs that inflict 5 condis (with bitter chill) which is really hard for targets to deal with. Dark path is arguably your most improtant skill as a cele necro.

In the video i took PoC and with the cele signet build the condi bomb is amazing. Terror isnt that great with celestial. It applies so much pressure and is a gap closer and condi converted to boons, i agree it is very important.

Oh okay then, in the traitspread you showed us in the vid I though it had MoC.

I get this build is strong, and I’m glad to see Necros finally qualify for meta.

But that damage output just looks so boring to me, personally. Never been one for the bunkery builds, and this one rides that line a bit too hard for me. I’m just gonna stick with my marauder amulet and wells.

Good upload though. Let’s keep celebrating our newfound meta status, even if we’re not all running it.

The damage output is extremely low compared to the power necro but this is a very strong build based on boon conversion and survivability and on my channel I also uploaded a standard power necro build guide with game play. Necro’s are very strong and provide high support with this build and it’s nice to play differnt things

Jackalrat, power necro isn’t bad, its just that lich is more counterable than rampage, wells are pretty bad in smaller fights aside from downcleave, and not building tanky means that you fold to focus fire so easily that competiting in higher level play becomes very difficult. Condi necro shares a similar problem to power necro as well, and is probably even worse off overall. So right now I feel that cele and soldiers builds are our best choices, simply to tank damage better, since our lack of active defenses means we need the toughness and vitality to actually tank that damage.

Power necro might be better in stronghold where bruisers probably won’t be strictly superior to everything else.
