need a build that works in pvp pre pof cause i still dont have that.

just need builds not negativity. Necro builds that work still pre Pof I have hots but I pvped recently and necros seem doomed. I had a minion build. I loved the million minion build but we all know it sucks now.

I used to do well on this build with a selection of power/crit ammies.I don't play PvP anymore and won't till team queue comes back or PIPS in unranked, so not sure if it'll still work well or not.

I think your best bet is the power reaper greatsword build. You can see it on meta battle here:

Power reaper is far from doomed.

Core thief is always valuable as long as you focus on decapping and +1'ing. It's not so much a duelist build, though it sort of can. But if you spend all your time dueling on it, you're wasting your potential.

Power reaper, core guard, druid, dd, chrono, etc.Pof elites are strong but not that strong to not be able to play against them.

Just go to metabattle and pick anything from "great" or above that doesn't use a pof spec.

GS Reaper was recently buffed. Try that with an extra well as your optional slot as chrono rune quickness is very good.

Harrier melee only ranger with power pets & daredevil.

scratch this. Pof is installed. Now I hate the necro it sucks. This new crap support necro lame.

There's quite a few builds that can be used that are core/hot.

Rev power shiro, s/d thief, core guard both hammer and greatsword/DH, core GS shatter/chrono, core ranger/druid, Reaper, and maybe a few more.

I've seen more power reapers lately than scourges in my matches, so maybe it's actually the stronger of the two now. I don't play necro so I can't say for sure, but the power reaper is at least doing pretty well this season from what I've seen. (My last match had 4 power reapers in it, too. It was kind of funny seeing all the reaper scythes flying around, as long as I was at a distance from them because they hit like a truck if you get too close, lol.)

You don't need PoF to be effective. By my opinion the three easiest but strongest specs are (sorted by asc. difficulty):

Power Guard from metabattle: easy to use, strong af, heals, mobile. You even have a room for adjusting the build for your playstyle, it will be strong anyway.

Axe/Sh GS Warrior: Just spec it for might, heal from might, and counter CC. Check metabattle for the base layout, and adjust for your needs. I have to work hard to not have 25 stacks of might. Press rampage, kick arses.

Vamp GS Reaper from metabattle: takes some time to get used to life force management, but after faceroll to plat. From there it starts to be more and more team dependent, so get a team mate to rank up further.
