Guild Wars 2

Hi there!

I am in love my necro class so much as after reaching 80 for each profession, I decided to take on the ropes to making a second necro, only this time making it WvW-based rather than PvE like many do consider my current necro.

He isn’t far up in levels, but I want to go ahead and get a general idea on what I should be using to make the WvW experience fun. I run this this current build, or at least recommended, so any adjustments I should make would be appreciated:

0
6 – II, IX, XIII
4 – V, VIII
0
4 – III, IX

The question also comes on about with gear: what should I be using? Some told me to run half rabid, half dire, full dire, full rabid, and I’m just confused to what should be ran.

Any/all feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I don’t get why people make multiples of the same class unless it’s for looks n you want a different race, well unless you find changing builds that annoying lol.

Different race for me personally (I went for Sylvari, as I wasn’t getting that necro-feel from my Asura, so I thought I’d experiment; however, wouldn’t delete my asura as he is my first so).

There are a couple of WvW builds used and they serve different functions: one is for small group or solo roaming and, for that, you can use your favorite PvP or dungeon build while the other is specifically for zerg and siege support where staff and wells are heavily traited for maximum AoE support as if you are an arrow cart.

Of course, you can use your roaming build everywhere, even in a zerg, but the N in GWEN usually implies the role of area denial because of how effective it is in large scale battles. The mobile artillery role offers poor defense, though, so situational awareness, positioning, and allies are more important.

Condition damage and duration are generally not as useful in WvW because of condition clearing being spammed so frequently. Power, mobility, and defense, along with stun breaks, are popular investments.

A lot depends on whether you want solo roam WvW, small group GvG, or large scale zerg/blob combat. Which are you looking to do?

Try that: a cannon that can kill a large amount of enemy and survive in the second line, granting high AoE DPS to your team/zerg.

I’ve used rune of Eagle because it’s not expensive like Rune of Strength, but strangth is better. or Pack.

I appreciate everyones feedback! Thank you!

Well, I guess it just really depends, you know? I usually do small havoc runs with the guild on Saturday nights, but I usually take my thief for that one (would love to take my necro though). Usually if I am in WvW, I will just solo roam until I come up on a tag I want to follow. I would rather not be a zerg-buster type of person, as I just want to be able to go in, and take on opponents without a huge support from others (exception of 1v50, then yeah; I will die).

So to sum that all up; solo with a mix of zerging (if that makes any sense).

I will definitely take a look at this today, and test it out when he gets to 80! Thank you! =D

I would like to say if I can avoid beserker, I will definitely if all possible. I do like to go for soldiers gear, as that is what I run on my main PvE necro, and have yet to be really disappointed by it!
