hybrid necro seems fun
Is hybrid decent to play at end game In wvw and pve?
Since you’re going with necro you’ve probably settled into not being the strongest PvE class anyway. So in that sense, yes hybrids can be decent in solo or open world content.
I wouldn’t mix different prefixes but just go with full sinister, unless you already have that gear you listed.
In WvW hybrids definitely work, not sure if those weapons are the best setup for a pvp environment though.
Maybe take a look at this.
Is staff really a good weapon for conditions over scepter/dagger? Also I don’t care for meta so I’m fine with dealing a bit less dmg for more fun
Scepter has better sustained single target condi dmg. But for aoe and burst stacking you don’t need it. Anyway, fun is the most important part here so just go with the weapons you like best.
Well I find both fun so I’d like to use what ever is better in this instance. I was figuring single target bleed stacks with scepter and epidemic but is staff better for this? I’ve seen your name alot of these forums so I’ll take your word fairly highly flow, you seem to be a good necro player if not one of the best.
Flow, I’m also interested in what your running or Is it the same as what is posted on meta battle? Talking about pve mostly
If I was serious about PvE, especially dungeons I’d take my engi or start leveling my ele :P
But I do use my necro with that full sinister hybrid setup. It’s actually not bad for stuff like the living story or maps like Dry Top or Silverwastes.

If you tried to bring down high hp targets (like dungeon bosses) on your own with condition damage then you just can’t beat the scepter. However, if we’re talking aoe or burst stacking then you wouldn’t use the auto attack of the scepter anyway. You’d do it with Mark of Blood, Weakening Shroud, geomancy sigils, Tainted Shackles… and then you can double up those aoe skills again with Epidemic. That’s just a lot faster than auto attacking a single target first.
Also, fun fact: with full Sinister gear and warhorn + Banshee’s Wail you can average more bleeding damage with Barbed Precision than offhand dagger with Enfeebling Blood.
Very interesting, ill have to do up a build rough up and link It back to u for some approval when I’m not out on my cell phone Drinking. I’ll prob link something later or maybe tomorrow depending on how much I drink :P BTW, how u feel about the new necro specialization? It seems kinda Dervishy to me and I like that
