Guild Wars 2

Hi guys
I hope you don’t mind voicing your opinions on a viable levelling build. I have been running with a condition based build so far, getting to level 45 now. After the recent patch I have found my survivability has reduced greatly especially using death shroud for riding through high damage attacks. Can anyone point me to a comprehensive guide to maybe a power build which is still relevant after the patch so I might try that as an alternative to what I have. I am looking for a guide that can really walk me through the whole thing ie weapons, master traits, utilities etc.
thanks in advance

I wasn’t expecting the patch to affect <80lvl. Personally I like power build in leveling so you can check that out. Just dumb points in power, use dagger and staff as off hand set, bring well of suffer/corrupt, feel free to mess with the trait.

My best advice would be,

a) Go to the main menu
b) Select your necromancer
c) Press delete
d) Press create a new class
e) Enjoy the game

My main is (used to be?) a necromancer,

You can basically do whatever you what while leveling.

I prefer a condition build with Staff/Scepter dagger. It doesn’t kill single targets the fastest but I can round up 4-5+ mobs at a time and aoe them down very quickly.

You should try Nemesis’s Glass Cannon build, it’s awesome. I’m in lvl 43 now and it works.
Condition builds aren’t that good for lower levels imo.

Just stomp leveling pve with minions, they can even finish the current T4 candidate trials (untraited).
