Guild Wars 2

I haven’t use this as I am still at work, but was wondering what you guys think of this build? Want to do a condition build for zerg vs zerg.

I think you shouldn’t use conditions for zzerging!

Condition build with spiteful marks? Not even a power build would consider that terrible trait. Either go full condi with 6 in curses or go power with wells. You also chose signet mastery with no signets. If you are convinced for condi than drop the 4 in Spite and put it in curses and soul reaping for master of terror. You want to run epidemic in zergs. Staff traits are meh to me but they are not terrible.

Thanks for the recommendations.
Will be testing that now… wel Narkodx recommendations that is.

Ooooh sick burn. I’m hurt. You keep on using conditions I’ll keep on using my 80% reduced condi duration and stand next to my eles and guardians that are constantly mass condi cleansing me.

NeXed, or anyone else that doesn’t run conditions, what build do you run? I’ve been away from the game for awhile now, and when I left condi staff Necros were tearing it up in WvW zerg. Is some sort of zerk power build the new meta?

I run 20/20/0/0/30 with full soldiers with wells and plague. You can still hit hard in DS, tons of survivability, and AOEs everywhere. 30/10/0/0/30 also works well. But power necros are welcome to any zerg, but condi is less useful due to cleanses.

Do you have a link to that build, or at least what are the important skills in each line?

My build I take:
Reaper’s might and axe training in spite
Targeted wells and chilling darkness in curses
Vital persistence, near to death and deathly perception in curses

If you go with the 30/10/0/0/30 then grab the trait to do 20% more damage at 50% health instead of the curses master spot.

Axe/x and staff as weapons.

It’s a pretty solid build in that you can really annoy and hinder a front line and deal enough damage in DS to hit take down squishies, plus not have much trouble surviving. Cheap gear, too.

Zerker armor, PVT or something completely different?

0 4 0 4 6 (III,VI)(VI,VIII)(x,VIII,XII) remains a solid build for power necro in large scale fights as well. I run this with almost full berserker, except for 2 cavalier rings. Scholar runes. Power/crit consumables. Staff + Axe/x. Well of Suffering & Corruption are always on my utility bar. Plague as elite (mostly).
I do run this mostly in a guild group; if you run with a PUgroup you might indeed want some extra toughness and you might want to take Foot in the Grave instead of Death Perception.

You can use full zerker but it’s very tricky to learn positioning, an do if you get caught you’re done. I use full soldiers because zerker damage was nerfed and I find the survivability of soldier gear more favorable to the damage of zerker, but you can mix and match or go all one or the other.

Condi build + zerg = you need epidemic and most likely plague. You are basically spreading 5 times the conditions around making them a lot harder to clear off. Also, what the heck are you doing with axe in a condi build? Scepter is THE condition weapon because it inflicts condis with it’s auto, making it great with epidemic. Axe doesn’t even give any damaging condis.

Try something like this:

As for power, I think Ascii’s wellmancer is a good standard: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Ascii-s-WvW-Wellomancer-Build/page/2
