Guild Wars 2

I main as a warrior. I havent played my necro for a long time (since my old guild used to run 5mms in tpvp lol). I have decided to play the necro for our wvw team. My friend has been theory crafting our necro to be a power based boon stripper.

I would like some input from you guys who main necros to develop or point me in the right direction for this build.

So far i have been directed to 4/4/0/0/6. Rampage armor? And d/w & a/f.

Have to get to work. Thanks in advance for your help!

made a build, i think its nice, see if it suits you.
Covers the boon strip, is pretty tanky. For more dps you can switch gear parts to berserker, or use Runes of Rage, they are great with that build i think. Also Shrouded Removal and Death Shiver can be switched to almost any other traits on that tree.

oh you can also go 5 points to blood magic instead of death magic to get some personal and team support

Thanks ill give this a go and see how it works out.

The problem with Necros boon stripping in WvW is that Corrupt Boon is single target and the well only hits 5 max per second for 5 seconds and we all know everyone stands in the red circles. Also as has been shown in a previous thread, the priority of the boons that get converted aren’t the ones you really want to get at.

I’ve found that CB is great if the target is already under pressure, hit them at the right time and they’ll be down. Hit them at the wrong time and it’s cleanse and continue.

If you really want to boon strip in WvW you’ll need at least 3 players.
One to stun (war or ele)
Mesmer to hit with null field
Necro with a well for what’s left.

Between thief steal, mes shatter, and necro strips you guys should be fine.
Although its a lot better on condi specs, dont overlook Path of Corruption XIII in curses.
Also the sigil of nullification is worth a mention.

Yeah sigil of nullification is good, i forgot to add it as second sigil -.-
Path of Corruption is a cool skill. It requires teleport though, and you might end up in the enemy zerg:) In the build i posted you can remove 1pt from death magic and grab it, its pretty cool when solo/duo roaming.

But for bigger fights power builds are better imo. Because they benefit so much from the focus (esp. when traited), chill of death, target the weak, and well of corruption hits harder. The boon corruption isnt about changing the boons to damaging conditions, its about putting pressure and soft cc, in my opinion

Take a point out of death magic and put it into Curses to nab Path of Corruption. That is easily worth giving up 10% of your Toughness in Power.
