Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone!
I’m just simply looking for some help on leveling my Necro because I don’t know where to put my traits, what weapons to use and which skills to pick up. A lot of people have suggested minions but I’m not really very fond of minions. If any of you can help me with weapons/skills/traits for leveling without using minions it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading!

You can mostly wing-it. Traiting power, vitality, and toughness are probably your best bets. Precision does not do any profession much good at low levels because you need a bunch to proc critical hits with any regularity. For that reason, traiting the crit bonus adjustment is also kind of useless, in general, at lower levels.

The staff is an all-purpose weapon with good range you can use. If you learn to use staff on yourself when you are close to a mob, then you get regeneration pretty frequently. After dropping your marks from staff, switch to another weapon and do more direct damage. The staff auto-attack is slow and lame. Dagger is extremely short range but relatively powerful, axe is next longer and applies vulnerability (especially handy if you have minions taking advantage of it), and scepter pretty much cannot miss allowing you to kite while bleeding it to death.

For weapons and armor, power and condition damage improve dps the most while toughness and healing are the better defensive stats. Necromancer has a relatively large amount of vitality so healing skill helps fill the pool up faster (if only marginally so.) The vampiric traits in the vitality line also help steal health so do not neglect it.

Learn to use Death Shroud a lot!

Well , they were right when they told you to use MM build.
I found out that it’s the easiest build to level by. I tested all builds , MM is the best.

I second the minion build, when you get to lv30 you can have all your minions siphon for you giving you an absurd amount of healing. If your looking for some excellent build tutorials see Nemesis’s youtube guides- they are all over an hour long (insanely in depth) and gives you a solid understanding of all the classes mechanics.
