Today's PvE: Power or Condition Nec?
In PvE dungeons and open world, the most efficient is physical damage instead of condition.
Even if condition can deal some real damage when you’re alone, as soon as someone else put some conditions he will “steal” a part of your damages.
In dungeons, most of the time players are looking for optimal build so if you play necro you don’t match :s
I main necro, and I am very sad about the current meta. But as long as the necro doesn’t get cleave atk and isn’t able to give might to his team, he will be treated as a black sheep in PvE :’(
Still power my friend :P
If you’re wanting to dungeon, necro is the last choice for being efficient sadly but if you’re still wanting it, it’s gonna have to be with a power build.
A good necro in PvE is called a warrior. IMO until something is done about 25 stack limit, cleave, not being able to help your team with buffs, and generally being the most selfish kitten class, a warrior will always be the better necro.
If you insist on playing a necro in PvE land, power is the better option, but even I leave my main behind when i venture into PvE now.

Shut up and get out.
Guys — I was doing Arah the other day and it honestly seemed like condition was the better choice especially vs. Lupicus. You have to spend most of your time watching his animations and dodging and condition damage ticks during that time…
Don’t you think in a team of all power players in dungeons, which is the meta, running condition necro can actually be pretty kitten good?
No. In a group condition damage is never worth it. Everything dies too fast and you will do less damage due to ramp up time and condition stack limit. If you are soloing then yes condition is better.
And lupi is a very high armour boss which is why conditions are pretty good on him. Although he cleanses in phase 3 if you dont perfectly dodge every attack. I still wouldnt use conditions on him unless I was soloing. In a group its always power or go home.
Hi guys , first of all i’m french so excuse my bad english.
IMO, warriors are not the only fat dps in the game.
A power necro can deal high damages in every situation.
Cast “Blood is power”, your two wells, then go to Death Shroud, and each Life blast deals 6-10K damages every 1.5 seconds plus the wells dealing critical damages
Come on ! 6-10K dmg every 1.5 seconds that’s huge !
Okay , warriors can deal high damages with “hundred blades” and other stuff , but we don’t need to break our dps because DS gives us the ability to tank without stopping DPS.
To sum up, A power necro is a very powerful character, you can deal huge damages while tanking.
You should watch Nemesis’s video where he compares necro’s and warrior’s dps , it’s very instructive.
Thanks for reading , and please let me apologize again for my bad english
nobody’s saying that necro can’t deal damages, just that it’s not as “useful” as other professions in dungeon.
Don’t get me wrong, I main necro, I love it way more than all other class, and I know that I deal way more damages than most of the Warrior that I met. But it only true when it comes to “average players”.
I am aware of Nemesis video and … it’s not accurate at all.
I’d love to be able to say that Necro is a “good” profession, but so far it’s not. Even if I play only my necro because I just love it.
Anyway, the question was not about necro Vs warrior, but power Vs condition. And to this question the answer is obvious: POWER, because of the bad mecanics that apply to conditions.
A good necro in PvE is called a warrior. IMO until something is done about 25 stack limit, cleave, not being able to help your team with buffs, and generally being the most selfish kitten class, a warrior will always be the better necro.
Shut up and get out.
Firstly no need to be so rude, as I have 3500 hours maining a necro in wvw it proves my opinion is as viable as anyone elses. However feel free to prove me wrong as even a poor warrior is better at group support than a good necro in PvE.
Edit: and in the future if you are gonna quote my post at very least put a “snip…” in there to show you are just choosing what you wish to respond to, thanks.
