Guild Wars 2

Hi all,
I am new to necromancer. I read a lot of old and new posts on forum (specially nemesis one).
I am interested by Cond/prec/though build, with staff and scepter + dagger (not sure about the dagger as offhand).

After all the recent patches, I want to know which condition builds are still good for PVE and/or WvW.

thanks in advance

I am not an expert in Condi builds, but I would think that Rennoko and a few others will chime in once I get this wrong ;P.

First of all, What works in WvWvW and what works in PVE are not always the same thing. In wvwvw, it really depends on what type of group you are running with havoc squad or zerg that will decide what utilities you will work with.

My recommendation is check out Nemesis’ Terror build or the Facemelter build from Lettuce. The downside of a straight condition build in dungeons is if you are a pug and run into a condition ranger or condition ele, they can build condition damage faster than you so you won’t be as strong as say a Hybrid which Bhwab, Rennoko, Talentless , and a few other really bright guys run.

Yeah, a terror build is a nice way to throw some damage down without needing condition stacks that you need to fight with someone else for.

Also if you use a condition build, remember that you don’t need to always do a lot of damaging condition stacking. If you find a condition ranger that can keep up a lot of damage condition stacks up on his own, just follow his target and Epidemic it every 15 seconds for easy AoE destruction, and then use something like wells or CPC to support your team, with staff to give regen and condition removal.

In WvW its much easier to not worry about max stacks of bleeds, so you can still run your condition damage and just try to find targets that won’t have much condition removal to Epidemic off of. Just know that Epidemic needs LoS now.
