Guild Wars 2

I’m new to the necro profession, as the GW2 necro is very different from the GW1 necro I’m used to. Does anyone have any good, stand-alone necro builds? I’m tired of the Hover in the Back with a Staff While the Group Does the Work technique.

So far, I’ve been running Staff/Scepter+Dagger and focusing on Condi armor

Pve pvp or wvw. Sounds like pve to me? Get right in there and use daggers. When you get in trouble just swap to ds and keep lifeblasting but you shouldn’t even need to just use utilities and press one. There is some dodging required. Also zerker do whatever you feel like with the traits as long as you put nothing into blood magic or death magic.

Most players use a power build (dagger)in PvE because of the max condi limit that can be applied. In PvP a condi build with scepter/dagger + staff is the most common.
