Hello everyone o/
Some months ago I decided to make my personal build for necromancer in tPvP for a specific team composition.

The idea is to focus the target with multiple CC/remove boons while waiting the perfect time to strike the AoE burst… and stay alive during that time.

Pros:

  • Remove Boons
  • Mobility
  • Burst Multiple CC
  • Tankish with jetskates

Cons:

  • People will yell at you
  • Can’t stand still and cast like a turret, or the burst will be “predictable”
  • Being a necro means be 1st target most of the time, you will be chased by many.

For this strategy I have chosen and tested different MINIONS, yes minions:

  • The most damaging and useful (imho) are the “tiny minions” (Summon Bone Minions) and the “BIG one” (Summon Flesh Golem). If someone recall the GW1’s IWAY , every fight was intense thanks to the presence of a Tainter necro with Death Nova. I try to not concede time to breathe.

So the plan is:
1) Remove boons thanks to Spinal Shivers + Unholy Feast. If the target is already near 50% another Spinal Shivers will follow the burst thanks to Chill of Death

2) If the target is reachable without going YOLO-RAMBO mode try to: Reaper’s Touch + “Summon Bone Minions” -> Putrid Explosion x2

Putrid Explosion paired with Death Nova trait makes a good combo.
This is to emphatize that synergy, poison field & blast twice in a row.

Pick Staff is obvious choice:
- Chilled/Poison Aoe
- Transfer Condition AoE + Blast Combo
- Fear Aoe
- Bleeding AoE (this is actually very useful to trigger some effects or to cover good conditions), this is usually my first skill on an enemy engineer followed by chilled/poison. Also, every 10 seconds, a dodge will produce this mark.

Any more videos of this build in action? I really like the idea of it.
