which ascended armor?
If you have celestial exotics .. just run with that.. one of the most expensive and time consuming armor types to get in game..
E.A.D.
Rampager if u play hybrid, Berserker if u want to play powernecromancer.
Rampager if u play hybrid
Full rampager is precision overkill. Depending on the rest of the build you might want to supplement with berserker or carrion.
Yes but not celestial, it´s only usefull if u need/want thoughness/vita.
On the other side, u can stack power/conditiondmg instead of precision to get 90% + critchance groupbuffed.
Well but i agree rampager should be changed to Power/prec/condi oder Condi/power/prec.
Maybe this is dumb ? but is someone recommending celestial for necro? Have lots of crystals so that’s no problem and working on ascended. Use toon a lot in wvw now, running pvc w runes of tormenting on one set of armor w staff, well, sigils of malice and torment on weapons.
Had thot maybe dire would be good for condi necro but don’t see it mentioned by anyone. Any information would be welcome – and no I am not a zerker type. lol
Dire is great in wvw zerging, but in smaller groups you want (or do you?) more precision.
i would say berserker if you still want to be decent in wvw / pvp but if you are looking for a more tanky build cleric is your best choice because the healing draw , just don’t expect to kill anything , just last a tiny bit longer than usual . , for pve you cant go wrong with rabid but make sure you have suprior rune of the undead and 30 into toughness to get that extra % into power and 30 into precision of course . 10 into maybe power for the might increase .
With arenanet’s balancing practices? I wouldn’t recommend investing in ascended armor at all (If you wish to remain sane) if you enjoy playing hybrid builds. If you are still adamant about it, I would try to make a set of armor that doesn’t use critical damage or condition damage because they are due for some big changes.
I’ve finished my entire set but as someone who uses a hybrid build, I regret wasting all that time and money with the upcoming changes.

Condition damage will be changed?
I would hold off getting any ascended armour until you are 100% sure what you want to play. Atm beserker is the meta for all classes and even with the ferocity changes in march that likely wont change. However if we see a new condi stat combo like condi main, power & prec minor then necros could become pretty strong as a condi spec class. All depends on whether anet introduces more husk style mobs though.
