I've never played necro before and am thinking of making a MM. Can someone direct me to a POST "nerf" build that would give me some idea as to what I am aiming for regarding the setup.
Thanks in advance = D

Mostly pve probably, although being able to use in both pve and in AvA battles would be a nice bonus.

I've been experimenting with a few new MM builds, post the Verata's Sacrifice nerf. Here's what I've come up with.
Build 1 - Max sac w/ Aura of the Lich and Blood of the Master
Class:
N/Mo (Although the secondary for this build isn't that important. I prefer monk for the ability to res without a signet)
Stats:
Death - 12 + 1(scar) + 3(superior death) = 16
Blood - 8 + 1(minor blood) = 9
Soul Reaping - 10 + 1(minor soul reaping) = 11
Skills:
Deathly Swarm
Blood Renewal
Aura of the Lich (elite)
Dark Bond
Blood of the Master
Animate Bone Horror
Animate Bone Fiend
Res of choice (I prefer Rebirth)
Equipment:
I run with the Bortak's set and full scars except for Bloodstained Boots.
Justification:
I've found that running Verata's Sacrifice isn't nearly as effective as Blood of the Master (BotM). With 10 minions and Aura of the Lich running you sac 17 hp per cast of BotM, this is with a superior vigor rune affixed in my armor as well (455 Base hp). Since BotM isn't affected by the proximity of your minions any longer you just need to send them in and fall back to a safe distance and spam your BotM. Use Blood Renewal for HP regen, while under the effects of Aura of the Lich, and Dark Bond for damage redirection (I believe that the damage halving effect of Aura of the Lich is applied before the damage redirection of Dark Bond, resulting in low amounts of damage suffered by both yourself and your minions). Deathly Swarm is mainly there for initial damage dealing.
I am still testing the build substituting Vampiric Horrors for regular Bone Horrors. Against high level mobs you are only gaining around 8-20 hp per hit, which I don't believe is worth their 25 energy and 15 second turn around time for recast.
Build 2 - Flesh Golem (more traditional build)
Class:
N/Mo
Skills:
Death - 12 + 1(scar) + 3(superior death) = 16
Soul Reaping - 10 + 1(minor soul reaping) = 11
Healing - 8
Skills:
Deathly Swarm
Heal Area
Blood of the Master
Verata's Sacrifice
Animate Bone Horror
Animate Bone Fiend
Animate Flesh Golem (elite)
Res of choice (I prefer Rebirth)
Equipment:
I run with the Bortak's set and full scars except for Bloodstained Boots.
Justification:
This build runs much like the MM builds of old, save for the heavier reliance on BotM during combat. Use Heal Area to regain HP during combat and heal minions after combat and Verata's Sacrifice at the start of combat.
