Thanks

Well, you'd probably have to do some experimenting to find some necro skills that would help out your build, but for fire nuking, without mesmer secondary, you'd probably want to go with elemental attunement and fire attunement for energy management. Always have res sig, that only leaves five skills, just put in some good damage dealing spells, meteor shower, fire storm, immolate, rogdorts invocation, and fireball would be okay. I don't use flare in builds, because I don't like flare spammers, they are annoying. I use an E/Me build I found on this site with great energy management that let's me essentially spam meteor shower, but that's different. I'm probably not the only one that gets annoyed when they ask for a nuker, and they just use flare over and over again.

Welcome to Gameamp, Andemius!
Echo nuking is fun. :) Don't be shy and ask for advice. We, here, try and help everyone. :)
BTW: moving the topic to the appropriate section.

I found echo nuking worked great but with a necro secondary I you might be able to use consume corpse for energy management and rotting flesh for degen (think they are the same attribe) on top of the fire skills.
As for Firestorm, I wouldn't use that as it make enimies scatter and retarget. This results in some angry tanks. Gl and play around until you find something you like.
The true test of any technology is its ability to obtain porn.

a good build is elemental attunement and fire attunement then some fast recharge spells, a couple of long recharge spells and the only skill with exhaustion should be meteor

Ok, I got the mesmer echo skillsand they work pretty well with Meteor shower but im kinda having trouble with energy management. I have 84 energy and dont usually mainain enchants so I normally have full regen times. The only thing I can think of is to use Elemental attunement. Anyone esle got ideas?

As E/Me, I usually use Ele Attune, Fire Attune, arcane echo, meteor shower, fireball, rodgorts invocation, immolate and rez sig.
I rarely run out of energy unless my enchantments get stripped and immolate means i can kill single targets without wasting energy and time with one of the big nukes.

In my opinion it depends what type of ele you are looking at. Fire ele = AoE damage potentail, Air ele = Max damage spiker (single target), Water ele = Harraser (slows people down, magic interupt and causing people in melee to miss), and finally Earth ele = protector / AoE damage (wards can dramatically reduce damage to your party, dragon stomp or earthquake for just plain annoying KD)
Fire ele is the bread and butter choice and the most used outside of the PvP. In PvE you want to be able to increase the damage to the most amount of enemies hence the echo / Shower combo. You may also find that you can use Glyph of Renewal (Elite) to instantly recharge shower giving a third shower in succesion. This would however disallow you to use elemental attunemnt.
As a E/N you could use consume corpse as posted previously but prepare for an onslaught from the MM if bodies are scarce :P
The build i mainly use is Air magic. Lightning Orb + Lightning Hammer + Lighting Strike + Lighting Orb = Very dead spell caster. This will amount to 480 damge in less then 8 seconds, and last i checked 50% of spell casters will die from that.
End of the day, its basically what you feel most comfortablewith. I see ele's get flamed contantly if they dont use fire BUT WHY SHOULD THEY!! One time i was with this water ele and she rocked!! Spell casters got hit contantly with maelstrom and melee enemies were hit with blurred vision, she saved my energy as a monk no end.
Hope this helps, and as previously posted never be afraid to ask ^_^ happy hunting

I made an E/N a while back as I wanted to unlock skills for both classes, seemed a good idea at the time :P It was quite difficult to make good use of the necro side btu I came up with a few combo's for farming and pve builds, some already mentioned:
Weakness + Stoning = Knockdown :) Enfeeble, enfeebling blood etc plus stoning is a nice little knockdown and weakness is quite an annoying condition :P
I used consume corpse as my main healing, and also corpse control against other necros. It casts faster than pretty much every other corpse usage skill that npc's will use (mainly). Just hit CC as soon as you see +x xp flash up on your screen and you should be able to control the corpses, your health, and energy at the same time.
Using the above skill I also made a slightly dodgy way of farming Minotaurs at elona reach. Think it was something like this:
Whirlwind
Aftershock
Crystal Wave
Ele Attune
Earth Attune
Aura of restoration
Consume corpse
I can't remember the last skill - probably another AoE or Stone Daggers or something to spam with aura of resto
The builds wasn't too consitent compared to the e/mo version but it DID work and was great fun, if nothing else to prove I could make my /N useful :) It takes a fair bit of concentration to keep your health high enough with aura of resto so that as soon as the first mino dies you just spam consume corpse (0 recharge time ftw) and you're at full health and energy :)
Good luck

for a good E/N elite, take Grenth's Balance, because it doesn't require you to have any attributes and is good for coming from behind, plus it's health. Everyone likes health (apart from 55'ers).

you could try to be a MM. you would have lots of energy coz your an ele,stick a couple of fire attacks on to do dmg, and have elemental attunment or fire attunment keep up the high energy.
don't know if it would work but u can give it ago :)

Unfortunately to be taken seriously as an MM you really need to have max level minions, requiring death magic at 16 which can only be achieved by a primary profession necro :( It would be good with all that energy though.

I've tried a few of the build here and i just can't get the hang of lightening or earth. I have been able to take out most spellcasters and some rangers with Meteor Shower and other heavy Nuking skills but still having a problem with warriors and melee attackers. Inferno Phemonix and Flame burst are good for adjacent targets but I'm gettin hacked up faster than I can kill my foe. Is there a good way to dispose of melle attackers, or do I just need to leggit?

Bring Lava Font, it's an AoE skill so they'll run away from you but you can continue to keep attacking :)
