Help me make this build better.

Banked my greatsword and respec’d for axe build.

I also use axe offhand to hit many targets in wvw. I don’t care what anyone else says, axe offhand > mace/shield. Mace 5 is easily dodged and shield has no use for me.

I’m using 25/20/0/0/25. To me its the best. I think each ‘zerker’ build is unique because your trying to optimize damage output while maintaining a balance with your gear. I always try to maintain 50%+ crit chance with 85%+ crit damage.

I’ve done 125k+ on dredge fractal boss with kill shot.

I actually run 25/25/0/0/20 and I love it. Perfect build for me.

Well i knew there was going to be some haters like there is in every thread but i honestly believe in this game its skill>stats and i like being somewhat zerker because it forces me to dodge and avoid damage better.

I am in EMP which is one of the top wvw guilds in the #1 server, JQ . So i think i have alot of expierence “zerging”. I dont lose to thiefs often because i have mobility + rifle.

@jjbigs, i like using knights armor for some toughness because being a glass cannon you get downed a lot, then your not helping anyone.

Current setup: 25/25/0/0/20 with knights armor-superior eagle runes. Sigil of bloodlust on rifle and greatsword.

I’m very satisfied with the way he currently is as i rarely go down in fractals and do well in wvw. Only thing i will change is ascended gear/legendary/fractal capacitor. But i wanted to get your guys opinions.

instead of just making a statement so simple as “axe builds are worse than condition” i would rather hear you reasoning behind that. So if you would please state your case.

Why does everyone want to run a condition build and are so against a power build?

So i will explain axe power builds for everyone and then i will explain why it is the best option.

The Build:
30/20/0/20/0

Spite: II, VII, XI
Curses: IV, IX
Blood Magic: V, VIII

The Gear:
All Power, Precision and Crit damage ARMOR, STAFF AND ON AXE/FOCUS.

I am using 6 Superior rune of the scholar. Sigil of blood on my axe, sigil of intelligence on focus and sigil of blood on staff.

My stats are:
Power- 2470
Precision-1811
Toughness-916
Vitality-1116

The utilities:
Well of corruption, Well of suffering, signet of spite and lich form.

Explanation of why its the best:

Believe it or not Necros are supposed to have a lot of power. Axes, daggers, staff damage, wells, marks from staff, Lich form, death shroud ALL BENEFIT FROM POWER. The lower your power level the lower the damage you will do, its that simple.

If you want to participate in karma farming, world boss events, better loot from mobs and chests when your running dungeons, then you have to have a power build. The developers said that the more damage you do to the mob the better the reward. When you run a condition build and everyone else puts up a full stack of bloods on any mob it limits you to the few conditions necros have WHICH MEANS you will get bronze medals, crap loot and no gold or karma from events.

You have to do DIRECT DAMAGE. I can out dps ANY class in dungeons, i can take down any class in wvw and pvp.

Condition builds only work if you are soloing everything and that rarely happens in end game content. People are slowly finding this out though but i am trying to help you guys out.

Axe is also great because you are not up close to the person like a dagger but you are still dealing hardcore damage. If i am buffed i can do about 12k+ damage to another player just with axe 2.

If you want to see this build in action (hes using warhorn instead of focus, still same build) then watch this guys video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Oq5EkYYTCs

If you have in questions add me in game or ask me on here, i am happy to help anyone that wants to learn.

You guys are just now realizing that condition builds are worthless?

Facepalm so hard. Scepter is based off precision and condition damage, axe is based off power.

Axe is not terrible just the idiots that can’t build right.

^ funniest thing I heard all day. Thank you sir.

lvl 80 nec full exo power build looking for active wvw/pvp guild. I am on East Coast time zone.

Why is everyone hating on axes? With my power build i can crit up to 8k and take on any class 1v1.

This is Necrops, level 80 full exotic power build. Armor is dyed orange for Halloween.
