Guild Wars 2

been reading around and it seems scepter and dagger and staff is a viable option,ive taken a build on here and useing it http://www.gw2db.com/skills/calc/necromancer#6|3|1201|11099|1197|3888|1204|30|1255|1211|2242|30|2325|2327|1235|0|0|0|0|10|2321|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|4|28013|28023|53504|53504|53504|53504|53504|0|0|0|0|0|0|
,but im finding my self dieing alot,maybe its somthing im doing wrong,im a causual player so im not on heaps so i am leveling slowly,level 70 at this time but rather enjoyin necromancer. would you guys suggest any other build?i do pve mostly but take a break and play abit of wvw to take the grind off things:)id estimate another week and i will be 80,any hints or tips with builds or maybe where to start gaining lvl 80 gear would be nice. thanks guys:)

forgot to mention im running around with precision and con armor/weps with some magic on.

You should take all 30 points from Spite and place them in Death magic. That way you will get more toughness and better usage out of your staff. I`d pick II, V and VII from the Death Magic line, but you can play around with it to suit your play style.
Getting carrion gear is a good way to start for a build like this, but later on at 80 you will have to probably switch to precision/toughness/condition damage. Most cond builds have a high survivability thus allowing them to survive untill a good number of dots start ticking on your targets. Once you feel comfortable with it you can start pulling more and more mobs and if you find that you`re not resilient enough, try switching Corrosive Poison Cloud for Spectral Armor or Well of Darkness which will help a lot when fighting lots of (preferably melee) mobs.
When you have a lot of toughness, you can switch your runes to superior runes of the undead.
Hope this helps

1) Your build is low on Vitality, Healing and Toughness. I’d take the points from Spite and put 20 into SR and 10 more into Blood.

2) Get Toughness on some of your gear.

3) Well of Suffering instead of Poison Cloud.

4) For 1st Blood major, I prefer Dagger Mastery (instead of Evasion), because Dagger 4 & 5 are so important.

5) Try Runes of the Undead as an alternative.

6) For gear, I bought rare Knights gear off the TP and I’m liking it. No, it doesn’t boost cond dmg directly, but with Runes of the Undead, it does.

thanks guys,i will try it out and see how things go:)

just a quick update been playing couple of hours,changed things you guys said,went with what you said Gnome and im surviving alot better then i was,and im packing more damage also,useing the lvl 65 knight gear at the moment,but when i hit 80 ill buy that then get gear needed,but i am having mroe fun not dieing

Good to hear!

I find that Epidemic is not as useful when you have so many AoE’s to begin with. scepter #2 and dagger #5, coupled with wells… you don’t need Epidemic anymore. For PvE, I drop Epidemic and take Spectral Walk instead for faster exploration/running away.
