Power vs Hybrid?

Appreciate the responses, thanks! So overall it seems Powermancers are better than the Hybrid in the particular aspects I asked.

I went 1-80 using a dagger so I’ve already grown quite accustom to melee range survival- though I can still have a lot of practice with it.

Do you guys recommend or suggest any particular builds?

From what I’ve seen trying to find an answer myself, Spoj’s looks promising…

Then again, what do I know :)

Power vs Hybrid?

Hey guys!

I hate to be that guy who asks a question that has probably been answered countless times before, but to find the exact answer I’m looking for, it saves a bit of time.

Wanting to be an offensive Necromancer, I’ve taken interest in both the Powermancer and Hybrid builds- not entirely interested in the full Conditionmancer.

So my questions go back to the title: Powermancer vs Hybrid

To help influence me and anyone else struggling with this decision, I would appreciate honest answers- and don’t be afraid to criticize my lack of knowledge in the subject .


My first question is are Hybrid damage Necro builds still viable/strong?

If the answer to that is yes, proceed.


Note: Most of the following assumes each Necro build is built most efficiently and playstyles are mastered.


In your opinion, what Necro build (P or H) is better with each of the following:
(Feel free to answer each individual category or give a rundown as a whole)

  • Short fight single target dps (standard mobs):
  • Short fight AoE dps:
  • Long fight single target dps:
  • Long fight AoE dps:
  • Higher survivability:
  • Generally more useful in dungeons:
  • Generally more useful in fractals:
  • More accepted for group play (relates to last 2):
  • More respected by community:
  • WvW roaming and skirmishing:
  • Generally easier to play:
  • (Complete opinion) More fun to play:

I am well aware that many of these are slightly unanswerable and some of them sound like the same question reworded. I apologize for these mistakes as I was somewhat unsure of what I was missing.

Once again, sorry if I posted a common topic, but thanks for the help !
