Guild Wars 2

Necro Staff 1 in a power build does a pretty great amount of dmg. Staff also has a few power damaging abilities as well. Don’t say its a condi weapon, its more of an all around support weapon.

I’d try a power/wells build. You can get the aoe from wells and nice single target from axe or dagger…or both if you want.

I have been running with axe/focus and dagger/war horn. A variation of talentless’ but since I’m only 34 so far for my utilities I use the DMG wells and spectral walk. The wells make up for your lack of aoe DMG. For the elite, its a toss up until you can get the reaper.

For traits I have been going into the death shroud line for the vulern and piercing on blast and the power line for lowered cool down on focus abilities and increased range.

I usually stick to axe/focus unless I need to siphon health or gain life force with dagger quickly. However using spectral walk in the middle of a fight and face tanking you gain life force super quick, then you can pop into Death shroud and just blast away.

There is really a ton of ways you can go, just try different things and find what you like. I’m tempted to even drop dagger for staff for some extra aoe and ranged. I tried both condi and power and both are fun, but so far I like power more. You can still use epidemic to spread conditions too.

Thank you. I was thinking chill on blind at first but I didn’t see any blind abilities that we can use often in your setup. Which do you use in conjunction with that trait to get the full benefit?

Really hope they fix the focus trait soon. Didn’t realize it was bugged.

Talentless.5708:

traits: 15/20/0/15/20

If true, im guessing

15 – Spiteful Talisman
20 – Terror, Spectral Attunment
0 –
15 – Bloodthirst
20 – Spectral Mastery, Unyielding blast

Not sure If I personally would put 15 into Spite since im not sure how much the minor trait really helps.. or if your just trying to gain the extra power and condi duration, maybe put 10 for Talisman and bring Blood Magic to 20 for either Dagger Mastery or Vampiric Precision. Then again im a total noob Necro so I could be totally off. Either way that video makes Necros.. or that spec in general look totally killer.

I just started a Necromancer. Level 25 now and am loving it. I’ll take an invite if possible. I’m on Maguuma. May transfer however. Originally I was on Jade Quarry but left for a RL friend and his guild. Everyone stopped playing however.

I don’t get how people keep doing this. Who’s using left mouse to preview? Its right mouse click, preview. Never once have I bought something by “mistake”

I guess I will have to use Pow/Vit/Toughness gear and slot for Crit dmg.

So in sPvP I use the Valkyrie amulet because I love the stat combination of Toughness, Power and Crit dmg. In PvE I was wanting the same stat combination and for some strange reason Valkyrie stats are not the same in PvE as they are in sPvP. They are Power/VIT/Crit dmg as opposed to Power/Tough/Crit dmg.

Is there any reason as to why they are different?

Thanks in advance.
