Most noob friendly tPvP spec?
There is no OP/Noob friendly spec for Necromancers. If you are in NA, and want to learn Necro, send me a message ingame.

I didn’t say that they had a spec which was OP/Noob… I was asking… of all the competitive/viable specs that they have… which is the most OP/Noob friendly i.e. Easiest to grasp but still viable and competitive.
I think a good place to start would a be a minion necro with either soldier’s or knight’s amulet. Much of your damage will come from minions allowing you to focus more on staying alive.
I think u can send Altroll the message no matter where u are since last i checked (a couple of months ago) communication between NA and EU servers is possible.
Enferian, I prefer to actually help people, not talk at them. So I take them ingame to show them strategies on Golems/Duels/tPvP and examine their skills/provide advice.
Sorry, my bad…
I though u just wanted a more direct, personal and convinient way to talk to someone that forums cant provide.
Therefore i though u might be able to help EU players too
I can ‘talk’ to people on the forums/PMs. When I take someone ingame, it’s to train them generally. However, any EU player can whisper me ingame for advice/answers to their questions, but again, I generally try to physically help them.
I’m in game, I added you to my friend list. You’re not online. I’m a dancer.
Look at Gibbly’s build (it is the generic condi damage build that most people use), it isn’t really difficult to use at face value, has a lot of growing room where you can expand towards the skill cap that the build allows.

This is a great starting point, avoid power builds for now. Start with condition then move to hybrid down the road if you like.
Actually I agre with Enferian that axe/focus with minions is easier to play. It’s not more powerful (except in 1v1), it’s just that little bit tankier and you get a bit more cc from the minions. Downside is fewer condition removals, but you can always take Consume Conditions instead of Blood Fiend (which I recommend in fact, that thing steals a lot of health for you but the active heal is miniscule and it dies to a stiff breeze), and you’ll always have staff 4.

According to the link, in Soul Reaping it has Soul Marks. But it should be Foot in the Grave for Deathhroud stomps/rezzes.

I was experimenting with a minion build that has fetid consumption (minions draw 1 condition every 10 secs) without using CC and along with putrid mark it seemed to work fine. If u have your minions u can clear up to 5-6 conditions every 10 secs with seems pretty nice to me. Just an alternative.
It leads to a more passive condition removal which i think is a more friendly playstyle for new players.
I m in no way say saying that minion builds are stronger than others overall, i just think they are easier to play up to a decent point.
Anyway this is the build i used:

I often changed items or traits though.
For example sometimes i used dagger instead of axe. And i often changed the off hand too and used a stack-on-kill sigil with it (sigil of summoning was fun for hotjoins but i never tried in in tpvp). When i used focus a also took spiteful talisman in spite.

I suppose I should note that that was a small change from his own build. However, it makes the build significantly easier to play (more LF generation) and takes off the requirement to do DS stomp/rez which are fairly difficult to learn if you don’t know the timing.
Is the staff still good without the trait in it ? I mean the radius is really small and it can be block… I was about to try a minion build when i saw that i would have to sacrifice the minion or the staff.
I don’t like staff without greater marks. And I always take a staff, even in minion builds. I suppose you don’t really need to but it’s a great defensive and utility weapon.
