Guild Wars 2

Hi necros!

I’m an ele main, looking for a current power necro build for fractals and dungeons. I tried power reaper but find I don’t cope well with the melee range at tier 3. I did better using core and ranged last night. Not sure though if my build could be better.

A live necro does more dps than a dead reaper is my logic. Is metabattle current? I’ll be running full ascended aside from weapons, plan to play in zerker gear.

I know it’s not optimal and I should “git gud.” While I learn to do that though I’d like a current direct damage power build I can use for variety when I want a break from ele.

Please advise me dark ones!

You aren’t going to be doing too much with epi on a power reaper, trust me I’ve tried. At best you’ll be helping stack 25 vuln stacks on almost dead things as your condi damage is too low that anything other than burning won’t do any significant damage when you apply it.

feel free to swap dm for sr and swap some zerks for valks if you do.

It has been a while since I played only core power Necromancer. It is weaker than Power Reaper.

Try something like this, though.

Suit yourself. I use Epidemic on power builds whenever I expect add’s. Proc’ing Epi off the boss that your group stacked with conditions is a fast way to clear the add’s.
