Okay, first of all, thanks everyone for replying so far! =)

Now, some stuff.. :::

-Terok.7315
“Most condition builds will be suggested to you with SPvP in mind, I’ve found that WvW often demands slight alterations if you’re a roamer/raider.”

Is that because most people that post builds are PvPers, or is that because Conditionmancer is better for PvP than it is for PvE?

-In some of the builds provided, Reaper’s Protection’s tooltip says, “When disabled (by stun, daze, knockback, knockdown, sink, float, fear, or launch), nearby foes fear you. This effect can only trigger once every 90 seconds.”

Why do I want to be Feared by foes? Or is this saying that they are afraid of me and will run away? I guess the second choice makes sense. The wording is kind of… yeah.

@Highlet
What stat priority do you use?
Is it Cond. Dmg/?/?

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you all. Had some RL stuff to do. /yay =P

Hello, everyone =)

I have been having fun on my Necro. However, I feel like I am missing something.

I play mostly just PvE at the moment and am still currently levling up(I will work on PvP later). I would very much like to use a specific build as I level up so that I feel comfortable at level 80. Many, many threads here have referred to the Condition Build that ‘everyone uses.’ The thing is.. either they’re wildly different builds(if the poster happens to link one) or they just don’t link it at all.

I feel very lost here. Is there a specific build that most are considering to be the cookie-cutter Condition build that I’m just not finding(I will admit that my googlefu is not the best!)?

I use a Scepter/Dagger with a Staff. I like this play-style a lot! I just want to do the very best that I can when I play. I know that there is the Sticky post at the top, but, I haven’t seen(or possibly not realized that I saw) the main Trait Build that people seem to agree is best over-all currently for Condition Mancer. As well as the Stats to prioritize with this build.

I feel silly for having to ask all of these things. I’ve just never been very good at number crunching, and, with the amount of different builds in the sticky post.. I feel very lost, despite trying out several different Condition builds!

Thanks very much for your time and help.
