Pve necro advice please
Btw how do I respec? Thanks for any advice.
You respec by going to the Necro trainer and choosing the option to respec. It costs a few silver each time you do it.
Are you buying the Training Manuals (one at level 11, next at 40, then last at 60)? These are from the same Trainers.
For what its worth, this is what I am using currently:

Its nice for events, because of the AoE Protection for allies from wells, and decent Healing Power to give AoE regen. But it also solos easily, due to the Protection, Health and Toughness. When running around, I swap out Well of Corruption with Locust Signet. During events I might swap out Bloodthirst for Ritual of Life (which also gives Protection).
Not a mega-powerhouse, but I like it.
Yeah I have all the manuals. I just got the 60 one and spec’d conditions but I want to go power. Looking for good one to take into end game dungeons. Want to get used to it over the next 20 lvls so I’m ready for end game runs with my guild.
Check my sig for the most efficient/useful build you can take for dungeons, especially in organised groups where dps is important.
If you find you get serious about dungeons you will most likely level some alts and move away from the necro. I do however go back to mine occasionaly for a bit of fun.

well if ur looking for a good necro pve zerker build i have one that im using and it has been working out pretty well. has all the ZERK u need aswell as the defensive support from staff now many may tell you “well staff isnt really a zerker weapon so its not viable” Ok thats where i come in and say thats just simply not true cuz as of right now my marks do a crap ton of damage along with giving me good controll with regan so> thats why i take it over dagger mainhand anyday. Anyway heres the build ^^
And i literally just bought traveler runes last night and so far these runes have been freakin awesome so far aswell as to free up a utility slot for signet of the locust so now i can run any 3rd utility i want ^^ its totally worth the invested gold. But thats pretty much what im using now and its worked so far for anything ive done as of right now the only dungeon i havnt done> cuz im fairly new to it is arah so yea.. lol
:O forgot to mention fire sigils do proc when wells crit just make sure u got that info aswell ^^ great in WvW watch zergs melt xD

I use this for solo roaming PvE and it is just raw damage. it is a glass cannon build so you have close to no defense but you will hit like a truck. Make sure you use auto in DS or dagger, Axe auto attack isn’t very good.
If you’re looking into harder pve stuff such as dungeons, I recommend getting dagger/warhorn. I’m not a big fan of axe- the dps is not as good as dagger , the range is not great, and its single target. It stacks vulnerability pretty quickly, but that’s about it. It is, however, our only other direct damage-focused weapon, so it is an option for your swap. I prefer to take scepter for those times I need to get a quick breather out of melee – I’ll use feast of corruption (which scales with direct damage), then go into DS till I can swap into dagger again. I run 30/25/0/0/15 personally, but as long as you take 30 in spite and stay away from death/blood magic, you’ll end up with a decent power build. For utilities I always take consume conditions, and usually go with well of power, well of suffering, and blood is power. Signet of spite, well of darkness, and the spectral skills are all situationally useful.

Thanks for all the answers. I switched to power build last night and I don’t like it near as much as my condition set up was.
tbh, I found power dps necro pretty boring. (compare to condition)
Warrior has banner, FGJ signets that are quite useful.
Mesmer still has clones and cool utilities.
Guardian has shouts and reflect.
Other classes I dont have too much experience. But power DPS necro pretty much only have offensive wells, which is nothing more than aoe attack. And DS build ignores too many things on the skill bar.
Maybe MM is the only answer.
The fun part about power necro is the aoe combo, but its short lived and high cooldown.

So interested in this build, looking for something better in dungeons. PvE, scepter/dagger main and staff secondary work great for me I’ve been running 30/30/0/0/10 forever but I’m really getting into dungeons, champ trains and other seeker content and my build just feels better solo…have to try this! Thanks

I’m with ya there. If they would fix conditions (stack limits on bosses & ineffectiveness on structures) I’d switch back to conditions in a heartbeat.
