Guild Wars 2

Signet Condition Build

Advantages-
1762 Base Condition Damage
Good Boon Corruption
Good Vulnerability Uptime

Disadvantages-
Low Mobility
Average Might Uptime
Hard Countered by Ele’s Diamond Skin

Reasoning-
Condition necromancer’s have a hard time stacking conditions; so the conditions that you do put on better hurt. This build tries to maximize that with stacking might, corrupting boons, and applying vulnerability.

Variations-
Consume Conditions instead of Signet of Vampirism
Summon Flesh Wurm instead of Signet of the Locust
Runes of the Nightmare instead of Runes of the Undead
Runes of the Aristocracy if we had them (anet plz)

With 10-15 stacks of Might and 10-15 stack of Vulnerability Terror/Dhuumfire puts out A LOT of damage.

I switch from that to a cele version and I’m currently stuck with cele dhuumfire wells. It’s not rewarding enough and scepter/dagger are weak links,losing Blood Magic felt real big bad since Dhuumfire doesn’t suit pure condi specs. Condi necro was succesful only a couple 1-2 week after patch then they died off just like power necro,glass doesn’t feel rewarding at all the only effective builds have built in sustain.

Pure condi necro just doesn’t work all that well.

Their condition pressure is much lower then many other classes/specs due to the fact that they stack conditions slower.

As far as offensive necro specs go there are only 2 things they really excel at

1: Corrupting boons into conditions
&
2: Burst (but only if the necro themselves is not being focused.

Ive been using http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNAW4Yjc0QnNWZD22AHOOwFq5Y3E9L8qDgFIu157HA-TJBFABiXGIgHCQN7PAwVAAA and it excels at boon corruption & burst while keeping me (and allies to a lesser extent) alive.

I have used the hybrid build

It is not as good as minion master, but it can really f*** over elementalists at least…

Signet condi necro is the current best setup for condi necro in pvp. Curses has a few issues that need to be addressed, as both terror and PoC should ideally be able to be taken together.

I recommend taking foot in the grave over dhuumfire. FitG improves your survivability as a condi necro by leaps and bounds, while dhuumfire adds only a little extra damage in its current state.

When reaper comes out and you get high stab uptime, I’d say that messing around with dhuumfire will be viable then, but until then, its not worth your time.

I think you’d be better of if you swapped to carrion and picked up dp or fitg. Pure condi Necros have to many hard counters right now
