Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, i have just got into playing my necromancer again and need some help on putting together a small man roaming necromancer build after patch.

I was wondering if anyone had one that they would like to share or talk to me in game about putting one together.

Thanks

Start with an Asura…

I will always suggest Norn, being able to get out of bad fights with the rest of your group instead of being left behind to die is amazing. As for builds, that all comes down to what you want to play, Cond.Dmg/Hybrid/Power can all work with a group around you.

Thanks for the reply. I’m already a level 80 Sylvari in Carrion gear so i would like a build based around condition damage.

Whatever you do, take Reapers Protection.
Many thieves open up on you Basilisk. Reapers protection sucks up a lot of the incoming damage.

It is an autowin sometimes, and wasted horribly other times. If you have your heart set on 1v1 2v2 3v3 then reapers prot. can be good. If you plan to do 5v5, I can almost guarantee you a mesmer, or ranger, is going to blow your reapers protection from 1200 range. Once it is down its down for 90 seconds. Also minor 15 in death magic is straight tragic awful.

If you have 100% fear you can do it… but it does feel gimiky

Yeah im planning to run in 5-10 man groups with the necromancer for the AoE condition damage. Currently im running a fear build but im not 100% sure on it

Well in a team setting you may be able to get buy without burning… so you don’t have to take 30 points into spite. Anything smaller than a 5 man, I would have to take burning damage, because it is too strong with epidemic.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get 100% fear, and burning, and greater marks, and terror. Intentionally one might say.

I tried to cobble together a build, but it had me using a givers’ staff, which is like 200 less condition damage…. that was just too much for me to bear for .2ish extra seconds on fear.
