Guild Wars 2

I know it is not the best use of a necro to build power and go for direct damage, but can we? i would love to use the staff and melee with some direct damage. If so can some one share some builds?

Something like this

I tried this axe build last night in PVE, and it worked very well for single targets. However, I felt unable to thrive in AoE situations. Maybe I should have used BiP instead of the Spite signet?

Currently enjoying this build (which is posted on page 2 of the “Post Your Build Thread” thread with more info):

Basically, the staff + marks (and deathshroud) is used to handle builds which are problematic to be in melee against (e.g., hammer warriors) or are good at kiting (e.g., mesmer).
Otherwise, the dagger does very good damage.
