Secondary stat gearing for Well/Power Necro?
What wells you looking to run? What weapons are you running? What’s your trait spread?
That might help a little bit.
I am reconsidering some of my stat priorities and wanted some input. I’m currently running a well/support build with about 1.5k tough and vit. I am primarily gearing power/prec, but to fill in some spots with more defensive stats I’ve also picked up a bit of crit%. I am wondering if I would be better served replacing my 2 pieces of power/crit/%crit pieces with power/prec/cond. I am using axe/dagger and staff for weapons.
Wells are better suited for power builds, so condition damage would counter productive. If you are looking to swap out for some defensive stats, though if you are running support I am not sure why you would need defensive stats, go wit Toughness (knight gear), Healing (Cleric), or Vitality (Valkyrie).
I’m running axe/dagger and staff for weapons since the axe scales better with power and dagger for condition removal. Usually running Blood, Suffering, Darkness and either Corruption or Power depending on the fight. Right now I’m 0/30/10/30/0, but I"m considering moving 10 out of Curses into Soul Reaping to maximize DS Life Transfer and Life Blast. Right now I have about 1400-1500 in tough and vit, which is right where I want to be, the rest is in power, prec, and %crit. I have no condition damage atm.
Should I try to move some gear around to ditch the %crit for something else?

No, but you should get rid of the dagger it’s worthless when you have staff, and does not blend well with power builds. Focus or Warhorn are awesome for power builds. You are fine with the rest. Though Well builds generally work best with Dagger/WH.
Finally Ground Targeting for Wells is worthless, run dagger/WH and spend those 10 points in something else.
How about knight’s with beryl accessories? Beryl is a very interesting set which I run on my dps guard.
Yeah I’m using emerald and beryl accessories. Think I might swap them out for just emerald. The only thing that is bothering me is that I’m sitting at about 2k power, 44% crit chance and 42% crit damage bonus. The crit damage bonus just seems comparatively high and I’m wondering if I should try to swap it out for precision (at least to get 50% crit chance). I’m really maxed out on power unless I want to ditch defensive stats, but I could move some %crit to prec. Just not sure it is worth it. Thoughts?
Also, anyone have a recommendation for a 6piece rune set that synergizes with power/well builds?
