Guild Wars 2

Hey everybody!

I have been playing Necromancer for ages now. Got a cookie-cutter condition build and a standard power build necromancer. My third necromancer will be a hybrid. I love her but would like to hear your thoughts and comments as well.

30/20/20/0/0 – Traited for Greater Marks, Terror, Ranged Wells, Cooldown reduction on the Staff and 20% extra damage against enemies with health below 50%. At the moment she is kitted out in Power/Precision/Condition damage gear.

I’ve noticed that she does great (constant?) aoe damage with staff + wells. For boss fights I switch to Axe and Focus. Wells would be Suffering, Corruption and Power. Elite is sometimes Lich, sometimes Plague – depending on the situation.

What do you think about the build? And what is this build called? Is it a hybrid?

Sure looks like a hybrid to me.

This is your build, I presume:

I personally like to have some more Toughness and Vitality, but that’s just my personal taste.

This is a hybrid yes, and as Gnome said more tough/vit is good, the main concern is where you plan on using it? Strictly dungeons/pve? With staff/axe you can stay at range and may not need the extra tankiness. Mainly WvW? I too would suggest more survivability based on the odds you’ll be fighting multiple people at a time. I run a similar build 20/30/20/// staff&axe/wh, no wells; but by moving a few traits and utilities my build looks similar to yours.

The build would work good in wvw zergs.
