Looking for WvW roam/small scale reaper meme build feedback & suggestions for scourge build

[Obe.4283]

Hi necro mains/enthusiasts,
 

I've been playing a bit of reaper in roam/small scale WvW recently on this hybrid chill meme build. Necro is not a class i've played much so i'm looking for feedback to see if it can be improved (As much as you can improve a meme build to begin with). It's basically a chill themed build, with the ghost pepper popper food during night-cycle for extra chill shenanigans. I don't do 1v1 stuff a lot unless it walks up to me, mostly <10 man fights and gravity kills.
 

I wanted to include as much boon corruption as i could without gimping sustain, as there have been a large amount of comps running firebrand+tempest boonfactories since i came back. It works reasonably well if i'm paying attention, it does lack a bit of burst vs thieves and things like condi bunker weaver. I keep swapping out the blood traitline for spite/death magic trying to figure out what works best, but i haven't played enough necro to really get a feel for it.
 

If there's improvements to be made, let me know! 
 

Secondly i'm also looking for a scourge build that "works" for similar roaming/small scale, if there is one. Preferably not pure dire/trailblazer condi, but i'll look at anything. I've been looking on YT and trying to throw something together on gw2skills with the new Blood Bank change, but it's a class i haven't played at all. It seems really squishy without the extra health from core/reaper shroud, but since i haven't played it i'd like to try.

I did my own tests with hybrid reaper.

And while it was fun to play something new, it was only good against bad players.

 

Curses was kinda a must have, but then I encountered a problem:

 

Without quickness the build is ultra slow, but you can only get quickness from interrupt sigil or spite traitline.

With spite traitline you have way too few condi cleanses.

Running a full Trailblazer's Scourge. Curses, Soul Reaping and Scourge. It's not the best I guess but I enjoy it.

Pure power reaper will be better vs most common roamers for sure, i also went hybrid mostly for variety. Agree that it's really slow in shroud without the quickness trait from reaper line. Most players still don't look at animations so getting the big hits in is still easy, but it sure feels clunkier without the quickness.

I was mostly fine without blood magic traitline cleanse until the condi bunker groups started increasing, but i think it's worth taking it over spite at least.
