Guild Wars 2

Hey,
so i have been playing with the concept of vampiric builds for a while and since i am also a big fan of the dagger/melee unholy caster archetype i have tried to incorporate that into a somewhat working build.
I try to make this post somewhat short because not a lot of people like to read a wall of text.
I think the necro is one of the classes that profits more from a wider statspread due to having access to abilities that change from worthless to awesome when changing from power to hybrid. (esp DS2, power build takes staff solely for utility or not at all)
Also some of our strongest traits are condition based (Dhuumfire, Terror, Weakening shroud).
Lastly, dagger has a really high attack rate. The auto attack delivers aprox. 2 hits per sec, life siphon (and life transfer) is close to 3 hits per sec and ranged and by using warhorn you get an additional hit per sec vs single target. Add in a high precision stat and you can utilize vampiric and barbed precision to its fullest.
So with the used setup and with active Locust swarm you can deliver approx 3 hits per sec, coupled with around 60% critrate this results in ~120 siphon from vamp, 60%3hits ~100 siphon from vamp prec and 60%66%*3hits ~ 100 dmg from barbed prec.

Some things to keep in mind:
- there are definately better builds, this leans more towards fun and “could work in the future(vamp buffs)”
- Blood to Power adds a permanent 90 power
- Dhuumfire is still strong but 2 sec in pvp or beeing easily overwritten by another class in pve doesn’t justify giving up either vampiric (the concept) or things from curses in my opinion
- runes and on swap sigils are probably not optimal (perplexity could work well)
- can easily swap out BM trait for well cd and slot in wells for pve
- 4 sec warhorn daze
- combo goes smthg like: BiP, staff 2,3,5 -> DS 3,2,5 ->exit, swap Wh 5, dagger auto
- 15 in Spite is mostly for the 150 power beeing the strongest dps boost compared to other options

I really would like some discussion going and thanks for you attention.

I am a big fan of 20+ Blood builds, so yours looks pretty fun to me.

I actually dislike the staff for power builds, and I usually only use it for keep battles in WvW. Instead, I use axe with the 20 spite trait that increases its damage. Axe #2 is great burst after you stack vulnerability, and the channel procs your siphons like crazy!

My build is 20 in spite for the axe damage, 15 in curses for fury on DS, 20 in Blood for vamp prec. and bloodthirst, and 15 in soul reaping for the last gasp trait which provides great survival.

My stats with only food are 3100 atk, 56% crit, 45% crit damage, 2700 armor, 22000 hp, and 360ish healing.

One thing that I like about your build that may convince me to change mine is the warhorn 4 second daze… I havent used that trait before.
