stop bumbing your nerco doo doo
Better to take 10 in Death instead of Curses. Choose protective wells (Ritual of Protection). You lose the ability to cast wells at range, but using Axe your max range is only 600 for serious damage anyway (yes, focus goes to 1200, but that’s really only to land a slow on someone you’re trying to catch). You also lose bleeds on crit, but they’re useless without condition damage anyway. Use focus 5 to catch up, focus 4 to start vulnerability once close, change to dagger use horn 5 and stand in your wells which grants protection while you kill the target. Suddenly you’re a zerk power necro with 9 seconds of 33% damage reduction and a teleport escape. Most targets won’t survive 9 seconds, if they do you can still escape with the worm or range them in DS.

That’s a rly nice suggestion and I already tried it out but the problem in tournaments is that you will be knockbacked a lot when u try to use the well next to a dead enemy and their guard starts rezzing, but it is worth a try.
This build is fun in wvw with 100% crit damage. It’s been around since the deathshroud buff and was designed for gvgs and zerg stomping
true that and it has also worked for tpvp before the condition meta

The elite in that build (Lich Form) grants stability. Also, you can opt for 3 seconds of stability when entering DS as your 30 pt talent in Soul Reaping.

Khalifa used something similar but with way different traits. It needed to be well played and babysat. Other than that exception, power builds didnt work well in tpvp.
we used to play power necro and mesmer with timewarp mightstacks and lich haha it was AWESOME!
Having never played a power necro, I would have loved to see some game play in that video.
sure gameplay will follow after the next patch i think
