Guild Wars 2

Hi guys
I posted a month ago (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Back-to-my-Minion-master/first#post5552469) and you were very helpful.

I just got the reaper spec, but I’ve been running through LW2 and HOT with my MM necro and it seemed so easy compared to my other characters. I was almost unkillable and my damage was not too bad.

My gear is all based on a post http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/70874-chunxs-minion-mastery-guide/which recommended Cleric Armour with monk’s runes and sigils of life and water on the staff. I was wondering if his article (last updated in 2014) is still right about this and do you agree.

Also, what stats/runes for my greatsword? Is GS right for MM? I was getting on fine with staff.

Greatsword will work fine, but if you went form blood magic then you’ll probably get more out of the dagger’s quick hits for your life drains. For stats I would match your other gear. For runes I would pick Force for a teeny damage boost and probably Water if you really want the heal out of auto attacking.

For a build designed to support your minions and keep them and yourself alive with healing, Cleric’s is probably your optimal setup for power builds. If you wanted to run pure condition weapons then you could run Apothecary instead.

Monk’s Runes are probably the strongest healing runes available these days. If you want to heal more then sure I guess.

Sounds like you found a build you really enjoy. Congrats! For now I’m just incorporating Rise! into my shouting blight Reaper for the damage reduction while I act like a walking berserk button.
