a pretty basic one is offering of blood, animate bone feind, animate bone horror, blood of the master, heal area, dark aura, taste of death, and a res. Or if you have factions you can replace offering of blood with flesh golem.

Basically, the best MM builds include:
Flesh Golem
Animate Bone Fiend/Horror/Vampiric Horror
Blood of the Master
Heal Area
Other Self Heal skills arent necessary, but help a little.

I still use Verata's. Haven't found anything better to replace it with, it is still handy to have around. My MM build is thus:
Animate Bone Fiend
Animate Bone Horror
Animate Flesh Golem
Blood of the Master
Heal Area
Verata's Sacrifice
Healing Breeze
Rebirth
Death: 16 (12+1+3)
Soul Reaping: 11 (8+3)
Healing Prayers: 10
That is likely to change when I get some Nightfall skills, but it's still a very effective MM build.
As a level 4, there isn't much point in even trying to be a real MM, just put whatever skills you want in your bar and go with it. Once you start getting some attribute points, focus on death magic, trying to max that first, the soul reaping, and lastly healing prayers.

Hm... What about the one skill where you take control of all minions around you, Varetas aura I think, that could work well in AB.

Animate Bone Fiend-
The earliest you can get it is by capping it from Lord Timot during the quest "Reversing the Skales," in early Kryta.
It's also given in the quest "The Forgotten Ones."
Or, you can buy it in Droknar's Forge.
Animate Bone Horror-
You should have this already. It's from one of the basic Necromancer skills quests in presearing.
If not, you can buy it in Ascalon City.
Animate Flesh Golem-
You have to cap this, from Ghial the Bone Dancer in the Xaquang Skyway zone in the Factions campaign. Leaving from Senji's Corner is easiest.
Blood of the Master-
Get it from "The Hot Springs Murders" quest in early Kryta, specifically in Nebo Terrace.
You can also buy it in Quarrel Falls or at the Henge of Denravi, but both are further in the campaign.
Heal Area-
Get it from the "Protecting Ascalon" quest in the Old Ascalon zone. It's closest to Sardelac Sanitarium.
Or buy it at Yak's Bend.
Verata's Sacrifice-
The earliest to get this is to cap it from Verata in Kessex Peak. This is probably the most difficult non-elite cap in the game, though. Also, no one in your party can have "The Villainy of Galrath" active.
It's probably easiest to simply buy it at Copperhammer Mines in the Southern Shiverpeaks.
Healing Breeze-
Buy it in Ascalon City.
Rebirth-
The easiest way is probably to get it from the quest "Dropping Eaves" in Ettin's Back, directly outside of Ventari's Refuge.
Or buy it in the Amnoon Oasis.
The Skills Page onsite here is very useful for finding skills.
Oh, and if you don't have Factions, replace Flesh Golem with another elite skill later; good options are Grenth's Balance for a powerful selfheal or Aura of the Lich to increase your own durability, though the latter is much more difficult to cap.

This is mine:
Animate Shambling Horror
Animate bonefiend
Death nova
Deathly swarm
Blood of the Master
Taste of Death
Energy tap
Res
If you need health give a Minion Death nova and eat him with Taste of Death after, this way you get healed and the enemy poisoned

Heal area is not the best anymore. There is a new nf skill that heals all the allys near you exept you and only costs 5 energy
And HERE is my best GW video so far...

Useless. U ruin both build with that.
I think this is the best MM build:
Animate Bone Fiend
Animate Flesh Golem
Blood of the master
Taste of blood
Heal area / nf skill that does the same thing but doesnt heal you so it costs half (i dont remeber the name XD)
Infuse condition <- nf skill it rulez!
Dark bond <- very useful if you manage to get some blood attrib
Healing breeze
And HERE is my best GW video so far...

Skills are only half the picture. MM is not only about what you carry as skills and atts, but also the use of skills, positioning of yourself and controlling the minions. In my sig is a strategy guide link for mm (mm do's and don'ts), if your interested in a more in-depth use of MM
necromancer all the way

I max out Death Magic, and put most of the rest into soul reaping to get a steady supply of energy every time a baddie dies.
One thing I've been doing since NF came out is to also equip Paragon shouts (usually on a helper hero) like "Anthem of Envy" and "Stand Your Ground" because these will buff all your minions as well, boosting their armor and making them do more damage. ^ ^

What chapter(s) do you have? From what I read it seems you only have Prophecies...that would restrict the builds people can suggest to you.
Whatever you've got my suggestion would be to pile as much as you can into Death until you have high enough attribs to spread them about.
Remember also that minions have strength in numbers but are pretty weak 1 on 1 (Except for the Fleshy) so you're gonna need a backup spell to kill the first few enemies, Deathly Chill is the norm since it's aquired early in the game and is pretty powerful.
My current setup...mostly for Tombs:
1: Rotting Flesh
2: Blood of the Master
3: Fiend
4: Vamp
5: Shambling
6: Consume Corpse
7: Mantra of Resolve
8: Res
Attribs are:
16 Death
15 SR
** Inspiration
This works well for me and my play style, Thanks to Will for the +15's suggestion!

That would be Healing Ring, it does only cost 5 energy, but IMO the useful thing about Heal Area is that you can use it directly after using Blood of the Master to heal yourself after the sacrifice for BotM.
Healing Breeze is a must to stop your Monk having to worry about you while your saccing health with BotM, have 9 in Healing Prayers to get a regen of 7. Heal area then heals for 120, same as BotM on your minions with Death at 16.
I find Signet of Lost Souls (Nightfall) to be a real help, I have 12 in Soul Reaping and using the signet on any foe who's health is below 50% gives you a significant Health and Energy return (8 energy with 12 in SR if I remember rightly).

I disagree......sure it might cost more energy, but when you can selfheal yourself after blood of the master or vereta's sacrific, then its worth the extra energy.

Well, if that's the case, then just drop flesh golem for something else. It doesn't even have to be an elite. Deathly swarm works fine. Other elite that work are tainted flesh, and I've seen someone use Blood is Power.

Just thought id say that "Heal Area" isn't always a good skill to use as it also heals ur enemies if you use it when they are around you...

Not anymore, at least Stand your Ground only affects party members after the skill update.
Nihzu Fleshmonger - N/Me (Usually SS/echo)
Nihjin Uro - N/A (Gotta love the tag ;D)
Nihzu Goreweaver - N (Pre-Searing only)
Nihm Baalh - N/P (Spear throwing voodoo madman)
Cadavre Cannibale - N/W (Experimenting)
Hrafnulfr Tyr - R/W
Nihto Uro - A/N (Nihjin's lil bro)
Chikushou Kisama - Mo/E (R.I.P. Survivor title)
Nihdel Baalh - D/Rt (That's the plan anyway...)
Yes I curse a lot...

Current MM build (it changes):
Infuse Condition <- a NF Must!
Blood of the Master
Fiend
Vamp Horror
Shambling
Virulence {E}
Heal Area
Rebirth
Death = 16 (12+3+1)
Soul R = 12 (9+3)
Healing = 9
Bone Spiral Rod - HSR Death 20%, E +15/-1
Bleached Skull - E +15/-1, Health +30
Bloodstained Boots
HP=401 E=79
Works well, the only thing I don't like is not having HCT on teh Weapons so I carry a Staff as well.
