Guild Wars 2

Friends have suggested I try out a necro, so here I go!

I’m completely new to the class so what are some good condition and power builds for use in spvp?

Here are the answers you seek. As much as I despise having more and more necros roaming around that new players can simply smash they faces into the keyboard and kill with. Have fun.

i’ve found one very effective build of shout hybrid.
Staff / GS with tons of chill condi damage on almost every ability.

It depends on your playstyle.
You can play without reaper spec and make condi nekro with staff / scepter + dagger and mercenary amulet (probably it is on meta) or you can make a hybrid.

Anyway, if you want to play nekro effectively, one of your hands is a staff, to transfer own conditions and get life force from ranged.
You are forced to play with amulet that gives + condi damage.
Everything else – options that you can choose.

Anyway, you can make a build of your own, depending on your playstyle.

from personal expirience corrupt build and well bomber power build seems to work in this meta
