SPVP build
I play a power build, typical 30/10/0/0/30. No wells though, I run Dagger/Warhorn and Staff, Consume Conditions for healing, Spectral Grasp/Spectral Armor/Spectral Walk for utilities, and Lich Form for elite. The build generates Life Force pretty fast, allowing you to safely attack from Death Shroud pretty often, while having 100% crit chance. Main sources of damage will be Dagger, Life Blast, and Lich auto. Zerker amulet and Divinity runes of course.

0/30/20/0/20
IV, IX, X, V, VIII, IV, IX
6 Runes of the Necromancer
Carrion Amulet (Carrion Jewel)
Staff (Sigil of Geomancy)
Scepter (Sigil of Agony) Dagger (Sigil of Geomancy)
Consume Conditions, Spectral Wall, Plague Signet, Well of Darkness/Spectral Walk, Flesh Golem/Plague Form
That was a build from my old metas post, it still works very well. I just wish they didn’t nerf the Sigils of Paralyzation, so that I could still get 17 seconds of terror.
The way it works, is simply fearing them past your spectral wall, chill them with Staff 3, then dodge forward infront of them, turning them around, and use Deathshroud 3, they’ll run through the wall again and refresh their fear duration once more. Then use Deathshroud 2 on them, activate Deathshroud 5, then simply switch from staff to Scepter, and hit them with Scepter 5 -> 2 then autoattack.
You will apply a huge amount of conditions upon them, and if they do not have atleast 2 Crowd Control removal abilities, they will die.
Alternatively,
You could try this one out, if you’re less about killing, more about being the most annoying creature on the planet.
Blind Cold and Afraid II (Control build)

Carrion Amulet
Staff (Sigil of Venom)
Scepter (Sigil of Venom) Dagger (Sigil of Chilling)
Consume Conditions, Corrupt Boon, Spectral Grasp, Well of Darkness, Plague Form
This build is designed to spam blinds, chills, poisons, and fear. It is not meant to outright kill people, but to make an entire team of enemies suffer considerably in teamfights. I have managed to achieve nearly 50 seconds of chill, AoE. I had to fight this build alot in 1v1s when I ran my Necro school, and it’s absolutely obnoxious to have to deal with if you don’t build entirely upon condition cleanses.
Contact me ingame for Necro, Ranger, Mesmer, and Thief advice.

@bellkb: There are very few builds that don’t use a staff, so you should probably narrow down your preferences a little more than “…not minions”.

I like either conditions or wells specifically. If a fear build works too I would be willing to try that out.
Thanks for all the helpful replies so far!
