Guild Wars 2

Sup all , I just got the game about one month ago and have finally reached 80 with my first toon which is a necro. I wanna get into wvw but have no clue where to start I would like a build where I can run with zergs and small teams as well . I’m open to trying any builds so please leave your thoughts thank you

In zerging, survivability is important as you dying will rally any number of enemies. You should wear soldier (power toughness vitality) or at the least knights (power precision toughness)armor though the former is better when you’re starting out.,

The easiest is a 5/20/20/20/x power wells build. You pretty much follow the zerg and just place your circles on the red tags and watch them blow up and you are quite tanky.

Key traits to take are Focused Rituals from Curses to ground target wells, Staff Mastery/Greater Marks for more ranged power, and Ritual Mastery for well cooldowns. Chilling Darkness can be used with Well of Darkness for mass chill and also goes along well with plague form. Once you become more experienced, you can try moving points in spite over for more damage. The 5 points in spite are for parasitic bond which grants you life on kill. The remaining 5 points should go into death magic next patch to pick up the much stronger Deathly Strength.

You have to ask yourself what are you looking for in the build
If you want to go backlines in zergs and DPS from afar, you can go Glass cannon.
Here’s Nemesis’es WvW glass cannon video build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdmGLBR6sLE
It’s highly detailed and Nemesis is probably the best information source for Necros. you should check out his channel, he got lots of interesting stuff

If you want to go mid-front lines, you should go for something more like Acii’s build, here’s his thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Ascii-s-WvW-Wellomancer-Build/page/4#post3061235

The WvW zerging meta is Power build, because conditions have many issues when it comes to Zerging…

Good luck :)
