Guild Wars 2

I recently rolled a necro to have a ranged alternative to my guardian for WvW. I’ve been planning a build as I’ve levelled (currently lvl60ish) and Staff + S/W + wells seems like the best option for the 15-20 man squad guilds I run with.

The only thing I haven’t decided on is whether to go for power/precision direct damage or condition damage.

Current build.

I want to keep condition duration high either way for the chills/cripples etc but for damage output would it be best to go condition damage + epidemic for strong bleeds OR power/precision + well of suffering for high damage and crits (30% crit damage from traits too).

Offensive stats with rabid/carrion:
1200-1375 conddmg (100-110 bleed tick)
35% crit chance
30% crit damage
1600 epower

Offensive stats with knight/soldier/zerker:
260 conddmg (56 bleed tick)
36% crit chance
55-64% crit damage
2600-2900 epower

Both set ups have 2500 armour and ~22k health.

TL;DR: Direct damage or condition damage for AoE WvW medium sized squad based fighting.

We’ve also learned alot from IRON, such as; don’t give them administrative rights over your server’s community forums or they’ll thoroughly screw you over.

Thanks alot!

Hey now, I’m sure the collective Desolation community deserved to have all of their forum threads deleted and permissions removed just like how IRON’s sister guilds deserved to be banned from the TS server and anyone who objected deserved to be kicked from the guild. It’s all perfectly justifiable and reasonable behaviour from a mature community of adults!
