newb necro help with a build ect ect
If you run 30/10/0/0/30 with a staff and axe/whatever, with 2 wells and plague, your strategy is essentially: if it’s off cooldown, hit it. The real strategy is watching your position so you can stay alive.
You should check out Ascii’s wellomancer build. I use it (mostly; I don’t have all ascended, etc) in WvW for zergs especially. If our zerg meets up with the opposing team zerg, I like to be close to the front at the start, and hit plague, running straight through the enemy zerg, to split them up. If my health is good, I run back and head to the back of my own zerg, or to a flank, and start hitting all my wells and staff AoE attacks. If someone gets in melee range I’ll switch to axe/warhorn and/or deathshroud. With this type of play I’m often one of the last ones standing. I find this super fun and not too frustrating.
You can use your staff to mark walls and doors, too, which is often very helpful, or stand on a wall and put marks/wells in front of a door you’re defending – though you have to be super careful because you can get pulled down to the ground doing this.
