I’m a level 22 Asura Necromancer, trying to spread plagues and undeath and vanquish my enemies. The problem is, after the third or fourth build I’ve tried, I still get waxed by at least half of the classes available. So now I’m looking at some sort of a bunker build.

What kinda strengths does a build like this come up with that are worth keeping?
What weaknesses would better be turned into a strength by a reallocation of points?
Any tips are appreciated.

Also…sigils and runes for gear, I have no idea what I’m doing, help please!

Edit:

is the updated build. No wonder everything wasn’t the same when I went to reset the character! Thanks TheAgedGnome!

First thing to do is to use a different website. That one doesn’t even have the correct traits listed!

Try http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc or http://en.gw2skills.net

Stealth nerfs are the perfect fertilizer for mistrust.

That’s the problem. Having played a Well-o-mancer from lvls 20 – 80 and some in S/T PvP I can assure you that it’s a REALLY bad build to play. It works in WvW great because a lot of times groups of enemies cluster in one area, but in S/T PvP it’s just horrible because the enemy team can see the pools easy and they’re not in it longer than 2 seconds… so your total dps is so very small.

My test runs only consist of 5 runs total. If they don’t succeed in 5 runs, high chances are they will continue to fail so it’s not worthy. How did the Well-o-mancer do in the 5 runs? Failed EVERY time.

Trust me man, Well-o-mancer is great, but only in PvE and WvW. Don’t bring it in S/T PvP, it’s just bad.

This is was the PvE wells build I ran because ALL (including healing) wells siphon health, and all your siphoning health is 50% more effective so your health sustain is much higher than that of your build.

Also used Flesh Golem because he held the aggro.

Well, there’s my problem. What kinda spec should I run then? I want to live and be able to kill people. That’s all for now! I just don’t want to die so darn oftenso I can learn how to pvp.

At first glance, your build lacks two key attributes for s/tPvP:

1.) Stun Break
2.) Increased LF Generation

Without one or both of those you’ll be hard pressed to survive a good deal of fights against a good number of builds that focus on CC and burst. Current Meta’s in PvP revolve around min/maxing your stats i.e. full bunkertard or glass cannon. Not saying you have to go one way or the other but you should know what your competition is doing.

Good luck!
