I dont’ want to spend 3 gold on scholar for my berserker necromancer. Any idea what’s the next cheaper alternative?

If your unwilling to even spend 3g then I’d say go rune of the pack.

The extra swiftness uptime will also help in WvW if your using warhorn & the might/fury/swiftness proc is decent.
Or you could go for ogre runes.

Though I have to ask what are you gearing your necromancer up for ? If it’s just PvE I wouldn’t bother as every other class does everything the necro can do but better & often most of those things at once.
The only real exception being strip/convert boons which is not needed in PvE.

I use my zerker necro in PVE cuz necro does well in every category, just as well as other classes for open world content. Dungeons we just lack the diversity for speed runs but dungeons are so easy once you know them it doesnt matter, save for fractals, you do need a good team for that.

Cheap rune set for zerker, if 3g is a lot per rune, then get rune of the privateer for now

Just want to try other class for fun. Get tired of running the same class all the time.

Ogre and Pack runes are okay.

For rage runes you should have a minimum of 3 points in curses for furious demise to get fury on death shroud. However, Rage runes have ferocity instead of power and you should never sacrifice power for ferocity. You’d be better off using Citadel runes over Rage.

Ranger runes are terrible unless you’re running an MM build—which are often terrible.

If ogre runes are too expensive and you don’t have 3 point in curses to receive the benefits of citadel runes, just use vampirism or centaur runes.

Ranger runes work with mini pets. Rage runes are good because of furious demise. Fury uptime is incredibly useful for dagger necro in pugs/solo. As for Ogre runes. They are decent for the DS build as a budget option. But i wouldnt recommend them over ranger or rage for the dagger build.

Its true power is better than ferocity. But this is budget option. Rune of the pack is hardly a budget option. They are almost as expensive as scholar runes so you may aswell just save for scholar.

I meant Citadel runes over Rage if you use Furious Demise, they only cost 3-4 silver each.

Superior Rune of the Citadel
(1): +25 Power
(2): +10% Fury Duration
(3): +50 Power
(4): 25% chance when struck to gain Fury for 15s. (Cooldown: 30s)
(5): +100 Power
(6): 20% Fury duration; 50% chance when struck to summon a bomb. (Cooldown: 15s)

Look what you made me do…

Reference build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNBIhZwEAAA0IKUDA-TRRDgAJKB73fU+9q+DoeAAzfAA-e
No food, oils, guard stacks, bloodlust sigils, invulnerability calculated
Dagger #2 total channel duration

If it wasn’t for the 5% damage bonus Citadel runes would have won, calculating in the 5% damage bonus though does bring Rage runes slightly above citadel.

You could’ve just trusted me.

I will admit Citadel isnt a bad choice. Although i have no idea how much they cost.

Citadel runes are basically selling for vendor price on the TP right now. If you don’t mind not being at tip-top DPS output, Citadel runes make for a nice, poor man’s substitute for a zerk Necro.
