Hey all,
I think it's finally time to pause my mains (StamDK and StamPlar) and give StamCro a go.
I'm not really sure what to build to go but so far it seems that most people are following some main ideas:
1. heavy rather than medium
2. 2H and S&B rather than bow
3. lots of NMA
That's about the end of my analysis Can
I'm just curious about what sets you use and which abilities. I'm not really keen on super tanky cheese build. Thanks for any help

Necro plays exactly like every other stam class. Same sets. Same skills. Swap out sub assault for blastbones.
Main is singular.

The mitigation you can get from that class is ridiculous, spirit mender (10% less damage), undo (8%), evasion (25% reduced aoe damage), brp dw backbar (30%). So you can have 48% pure reduction in damage plus major evasion and that's not even counting resistances. If you are a nord on top of that it's just ridiculous.
There's no reason to use heavy in this meta, people tend to believe the tank meta comes from everyone running around in heavy, that's wrong. The tank meta comes from the extremely easy access to pure damage reduction buffs.
The easiest thing to do is to just stack mitigation and weapon damage by using nma medium with fury and a monsters of your choice (thurvokun, bloodspawn and slimecraw are all good)
I run a bow/bow build with slimecraw, nma and morag tong with asylum bow on backbar. It's not optimal, but it's a fun build and it's meant to be a medium/short range build

Sustain is more of an issue in NoCP. The two ways to address it are:
1. Use medium armor - fine since Necro has so much class mitigation.
2. Don't run NMA - you can actually make NMA work, but Necro doesn't benefit from stacking Weapon Damage nearly as much as some other stam classes. I suggest Spriggans.

I'm curious why Necro doesn't benefit from stacking weapon damage. How is this so?
It sure seems to work well for me.

You highest single-target burst will come by combining Onslaught with Blastbones. And when you do that Spriggan becomes useless for the duration of Onslaught buff. And of course StamCro benefits as much from stacking Wpn Dmg, all your main heals and damage abilities scale with it.
If you don't like NMA for the cost, front-barring Truth is a very good alternative. And Hundings ain't bad either, it's actually underrated.
