Hi, this is my build.

I start with staff until i reach 25 bloodlust stack
then i swap to axe/focus and use blood is power whenever it is ready, removing condition either with the healing skill either entering in death shroud.

using blood is power, auto-attack while in death shroud, and quickly swapping axe to staff and then again to axe will give me perma 20/25 might stacks.

with 20/25 might stacks i use reaper’s touch and some auto-attacks with axe to reach at least 10/15 vulnerability stacks and then i use ghastly claws for huge amount of damage

what do you think about this build?

You want battle on both your MH and your swap weapon, so you get 3 stacks everytime you swap. You are sacrificing a lot for Might and Might duration, which can all be cancelled out if someone boon strips you, which is going to be very often in SPVP.

If you mean this for a PVE build, there are better and easier ways to get might, such as a good team composition, or just run a normal build with BIP and might on DS1 without the runes.

Using your heal to remove the bleed is also nearly pointless as you are a power build, and the self bleed from BIP is marginal damage at best, even with all those mights stacks. (roughly 200 damage per second isn’t worth wasting your heal).

I think it would be a pretty good build in PvE and it could shine a lot against things like Tequatl.

By the way it’s build in PvE mode so I assume it’s not for PvP or WvW. Not that it would be bad in WvW zerg. Except that a necromancer in a zerg have an other role then pure dps. But it’s style totally viable.

For wvw I would change signet of spite with spectral wall and locust with spectral walk.

No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.

I think its a pretty nifty idea for PVE. It might be considered overkill, with such high toughness and vitality, but the conversion of those attributes to Power makes it more attractive. The loss of crit chance is the price you pay.

Stealth nerfs are the perfect fertilizer for mistrust.

some little correction to the build to make it more balanced.
