sPvP Necro build
I find I rarely or never switch to staff, and I don’t spend much time in DS. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but I don’t feel I need it often. Usually I try and flash into DS, use 3, then life blast until whoever I’m chasing is dead. Sometimes I use 4 when there are a bunch of minions/spirits/clones nearby. Are the other skills worth using too?
Considering you traited Reaper’s Might, Unyielding Blast and Deathly Perception you should probably spend more time in DS than out of it. Plus, your ranged wells puls with your current crit chance, so dropping wells and staying in Shroud while they puls will make them crit more often (almost always).
And yes, every skill in DS is worth using.
Traits are rather standard as they are except for Speed of Shadows, you should really drop that for either II, III, IV or VIII.

I switched it out for II (50% slower life force drain) and liking it so far. I can definitely notice being able to remain in DS longer. Trying to spend more time in DS too to get the crits on the wells. Does being in DS affect crit chance on marks as well?
I haven’t played much sPvP in a while or ever, but I just started PvPing again. I found I didn’t like my guard too much and I was pretty terrible with warrior and thief. I have not played a necro before, my necro is lvl 11, but I LOVE it so far. I feel like I do very good damage and survive well against most anything 1v1 (except meditation guards wreck me). Right now, this is the build I’m running, I’m looking to improve it, any tips?

Is there something better than spectral armor, consume conditions, and flesh golem to be using? Consume conditions is nice, but the cast time is ages and I don’t always get it off.
Any other necro tips? I briefly tried dagger, but I didn’t do too well with it. I like the kite and kill the axe brings. I also tried a MM, but wasn’t sure what to do and didn’t kill much. Thanks for any help!
depends on you spec which you didn’t give but if your power based I like lich form personally over flesh golem. you should try to learn how to properly use your death shroud although it can be used as a extra life bar the skills are way more useful then simply that.
Does being in DS affect crit chance on marks as well?
Yes. But I’m not sure it’s advisable to precast marks for a possibly higher critchance on trigger.
