I use that siphoning build myself. Its EXTREMELY good, and I highly recommend it. You can siphon more though, if you use knight's gear. But, for people trying the build for the first time, I also recommend PVT gear

I've had some ask about my build on my necro (Bandleraca), figured you might be interested in my build. I'm that necro you see that doesn't die easily, charges right into zergs, thieves run from, etc. Just to metion, I ignore other builds/pre-builts, etc; just not my thing. I prefer to figure out stuff on my own. But anyways:
Traits: 15 Spite: III 0 Curses 25 Death Magic: IV VII 30 Blood Magic: II VIII XII
Gear: Rings, Trinkets, & Amulet - all exotic Invaders Armor: All Exotic, 4 pieces Clerics & 2 pieces Givers (? the set that gives +1% boon duration), 6 Sup. Runes of the Grove
Weapons: Set 1 D/D Exotic Cleric's (skinned Soulshard) w/ Sup. Sigil of Nullification & Sup. Sigil of Life Set 2 Axe/Warhorn Exotic Cleric's w/ Sup. Sigil of Restoration & Sup. Sigil of Life (Note that I swap sigils a lot so these can change day to day)
Easily pre-boon/traits/sigils I have ~30k HP, 2k Power, 2k Toughness, 27% boon duration, 15% condition duration, 1.25k Healing. If I'm around a tower/keep with the guild HP boost I have over 30k HP.
Utilities: Well of Blood, Well of Power, Well of Suffering, Well of Corruption - Swap out Well of Corruption for sigil of the locust ONLY for keeping up with the herd when needed (I don't prefer to get caught fighting with it.)
Elite I use the Flesh Golem.
Tbh, I generally don't use food buffs - never needed that extra boost.
Explanation of my runes - I love them. Not only do I get the boost to healing, the root proc fires insanely. Always fun to watch a thief waste a utility to stealth out of the root. The protection also procs like crazy. Also increases duration of protection by 15% added to the ~30% boon duration, and my wells grant protection due to trait. Basically, I can drop all 4 wells, have protection from my runes proc, and have -33% damage + insane healing and life stealing - aka invincibility & damage dealing - for 10-15 seconds in the worst case scenario. Within 5 seconds of that wearing off, my wells are comming off cooldown and ready to be dropped again.
Hilarious to watch heartseeking thieves pop-up right on me and drop in 2 seconds. Mesmer (staff/clone spammer) is the only class that really can challenge this build; however patience and knowing to stay put in your wells and use Axe AoE is the key to beating them. Slow & steady. Often they just give up and run away; each clone of their's you eat with your wells heals you while you slowly whittle away their life. Rangers never learn that their pet is their undoing against this necro build.
But anyways, I'm not the best teach or explainer of things, but I thought I'd share what I do.

Holy shit. USE FOOD BUFFS. Dude. I start out with a food in mind and build the entire necro around the food buff. Thats actually what alot of the top tier guild v guild people do. Omnom ghost for example. RG took full advantage of this shit until Anet nerfed it. They nerfed it because of RG most likely. They took the food and built everyone around it. Its not an extra boost. Its the difference between wiping 100 man zerg and getting wiped. Also incase you didn't know. Healing does not scale on necros. Its actually broken. So the 1.25k healing is actually a next to worthless stat. you get about .9% of the value out of it. I used to run full clerics till I found this out. Now its PVT. You won't need healing power if you run the correct food/ sigils I can get 24k healing in a matter of 5s with the proper food/sigil. Don't believe me? Hmm I have a video to illustrate it. Watch from :35-:45 I go from 600 HP to 21 000 HP with 0 personal heals used, or 0 other heals around me used. 600-21 000 in 10s. You can hear my guys talking about going up 12k in 1 second as well in the background. The food/sigils we were using pretty much made sure they all died and none of us did.
