Necromancer WvW | Large Group Scepter/Dagger, Staff | Defender lolmancer

Summary
Just a fun build that I've been running with. I've had input from friends and researched around for decent builds. I've been running pretty much this build for over 5 months now and I love it. It's mostly for WvW, but works great in PvE/Dungeons/Fractals as well (with slight mods to utilities). Very tanky and works great to keep your enemy feared and continuously dying per tic of damage.

V. Basic Gameplay
If solo my rotation is as follows: Spectral wall > Spectral Grasp (enemy pulled into wall and instantly feared 2x unable to act) > Grasping Dead (can swap to staff and add a reapers mark for 3x the fear and lay on more conditions) > Enfeebling blood > Deathly Swarm and then Feast of Corruption. At this point, the enemy is probably so confused and unable to act that their health is pretty low. You can usually finish them off by going into death shroud and fearing them again with Doom (4x fear) and then catch up to them with Dark Path and finish them off with Tainted Shackles (torment and immobilize) and then suck their remaining life (if any left) with Life Transfer.
-This is a very balanced build meant to lay on damage and survive. When up against bunker build guardians or warriors, I've been known to duel for at least 15 minutes with both of our health bars rarely going down and eventually both usually just going their separate ways.
-Rarely ever have any trouble with thieves and marks usually finish them off almost instantly and death shroud takes away any risk from heartseeker. I sometimes refer to this build as the Thief Killer.
-Main fears of mine: Mesmers because I get confused easily (personal problem) and dagger eles that know what they're doing.
When running in a zerg, I usually get corruption built up beforehand with scepter/dagger. I then attack from mid-distance with scepter/dagger > jump into Death Shroud to lay on Tainted Shackles and then Lif Transfer. I will then exit Death Shroud and lay on the support and condition with staff. With the amount of deaths going on in a zerg, life force is usually full 100% of he time so you can enter Death Shroud whenever you want to survive.
