I keep getting told false (darn buddies xD) rumours that my Thorway Idea is making some headway into the next skill update :O!


Also! Capt', interesting choice on the W/Mo... There are quite a few fun and unexpected skills from the Smiting Prayer line that will make you quite the goshly damage dealer~

Try Strength of Honor (Adds damage) or Judge's Insight (Adds another % of Armor Penetration that goes along with your warrior's Strength)... Much more effective to kill rather than "tank" with things like Healing Breeze etc...

What would you recommend me doing with my Necromancer? I have basic skills but no idea what to put my attribute points into or anything.

[Markus. D]

Seeing as it's a PvE toon.

Either Curses or Death, you have some AWESOME options... shouldn't worry too much at the moment... because if you decide on getting multiple max armor sets (or at least scar patterns for curses/soul reaping/death) by the end you'll be sweet.

Unless you're going MM, keep your death magic maxed with a Minor Rune (If you select Death Magic).
Superior Curses for SSing.
Minor Soul Reaping (Unless you decide to Icy Veins)... for everything else.

ps: Endgame Necromancers do about 3-4 things at once anyways, bloody hell imba.

Death magic is probably my advice with a necro, the reason being the spells do loads of damage and some/most regenerate your health upon hitting targets. Minions are fun but they die pretty quick and when running across a level from battle to battle it can take too long though they're useful for tying up large contingents of charr/enemies especially if you have a monk as an ally with you because the monk will keep healing the minions whilst you keep casting death magic thus looking after yourself and providing you with a good source of bodies to keep raising replacement minions.

Yes the spells do quite alot of damage (Rising Bile, Discord, Putrid Bile, etcetc xD etc)... however there are no true health gaining spells in Death Magic (you're thinking of Blood Magic imo!~ or the Consume Corpse/Taste of Pain/Death spell).

When MMing, it's not uncommon to lag a few steps behind the party, not so much ressing each and every corpse to form a minion, with a Bloodstained Insignia (reduces corpse raising cast time by 25%) you can safely revive 1-2 post-battle in a matter of moments, cast BotM and keep mobile.

But y'know these days there's Jagged Bones to recyle minions and Aura of the Lich to raise gosh KNOWS how many bone minions at once to keep it constant enough to say "keeping 'em healed" rather a lazy moment of the past (Instead bringing 'em up and using 'em as meatshields for the next fight).

The dedicated healer of the party should feel no need to have to heal your Minions... Skilled MMing requires a touch of Hybrid (Try Dwayna's Sorrow/Life as a heal buffer) and Micromanagement.

I hope my confusing rant was of some aid.

What's MM and SS? ._.

[Balzac]

Minion Master and Spiteful Spirit I guess. Been a while since I played, nearly well over a year :O

[Caraliz]

Hmm. I like this death magic or blood magic idea. Which is the one with the minions?

[Aydin]

OMG I haven't thought of Guild Wars in a long time... I still remember when I bought the collectors edition for like, 60 bucks.

I wonder why I don't play it anymore.

[captkrill]

So i just finish Iron Mines and now am wanting to go to Nightfall to get some heroes.

[Caraliz]

[captkrill]
