Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get some input on any good Necro. 2nd profession/ build. I just got GW and I want to be a necro but i dont know what skills to train up or what other profession i should have.

I was thinking of a necro/mesmer or necro/monk if there are any better suggestions please do tell.

I also (sadly) need help on where to get good necro weapons, armour and skills...

Thank you...

RE: Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

I'd go for a necro/monk

If u got factions, buy armor in kaineng center
if u got prophecies, buy armor in droknars forge
if u got nightfall, buy armor in sunspear sanctuary

For the build a Minion master would do,
there is a guide on the top 5, (right of the homepage of gameamp) wich is very well written.

hope this helps a bit :)

oh for the weapons, buy em from other players works if ur new to the game. for price details visit www.guildwarsguru.com

RE: Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

ehm not quite ;)
Minion making is using the corpses of dead enemys (foes) to make small creatures called minions. There are different kind of minions, some attack at range, some are melee, some inflict bleeding, etc..

the use of the build is to make as much minions as possible (10 is max) and keep them alive. mainly using 'Blood of the master' and 'heal area'. the minions will do the damage :) and monks will heal you so the so called saccing (sacreficing your own health) won't be a problem.

For more Minion Master (MM) Information check the guide on the top 5 ;) it will help u out

Welcome to GAMEAMP Igneas!

I have a N/Me and I dont use any Mesmer skills at all. Going with N/Mo is a good choice IMO :)

RE: Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

Playing a minion master, or little dead guy raiser, is always a popular choice but can get boring real quick. My advice to you is to try the different skills out. Try a vampiric build where you use skills that steal life: Life Siphon, Vamp Gaze and Vamp Touch are all early skills you can use to try out. There are plenty of other skills along these lines that will damage the enemy and heal you as well. I always found playing as a vampire style character was fun and if you manage it right you can get some quick kills that you actually participate in. As for the secondary class, just about any will do. Mes and Monk are popular choices for the extra curses (mes) and the easier healing of minions (monk). It will really all depend on what you decide in how you want to play the toon. Just have fun with it and remember that casters are not melee oriented. That can be a very quick way to die. :)

RE: Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

Kewl i was checking that out and it looks slightly complicated, probbably cause im new but you know how it goes.

I just need to get a good start, and incase anyone cares (lol) i've decided to make my seceond proffesion a monk =D.

Q: Now i know this sounds like a dumb question but, where do i get skills... or the skills they were talking about in the guide?

RE: Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

Greetings and WELCOME!!!

As a long time Necro player I would strongly recommend Monk as secondary, especially if starting in Prophecies. You will get more benefits by having Monk as 2nd.

You can get by with any other class as secondary if you so choose.

With Monk secondary you will mostly be using a couple healing spells. Once you get to higher lvls and access to more spells you will also use some protection spells for running a 55 HP farming build.

Beyond that, having Monk secondary will give you access to better Rez spells, which comes in very handy when doing missions.

Regen spells can help you manage your own HP when things get "intense" or when doing stuff solo.

Feel free to add Abby Hexblood to your friend list, and if I am NOT busy I can try to help you out some in game. If I am busy I'll try to get back to you when I am free.

RE: Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

played necro plenty, and yes, for starting out a Necro/Monk combination will land you easy parties and plent of suitable builds.

necro / mesmer would be my second choice followed by necro / rt if you have factions.

All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

RE: Necromancer 2nd Proffesion Build

How far along are you anyway?

You won't have access to alot of the spells you need until later (If I remeber correctly) so be patient. Early on I would go with N/mo. Later on when you have more spells available you can switch bact and forth between N/mo and N/me to run different types of builds her is a link to a decent how to play a necro guide.

Necro guide

Necro is my main character so I play a lot of different builds. As stated above minion master is fun for a while but does get boring at times. I like playing a curses necro but that becomes a lot more viable when you have access to better elites.

Good luck and keep pusing
