First thing to keep in mind is that leveling in GW2 is fast. You can get to L80 in a month. Do not worry about XP from mob kills – that XP is very small compared to what you get from exploration, events, and crafting. Do everything.

Second, none of your stats will matter much in the beginning. Put them wherever. Learn to dodge and use Death Shroud, how to use a minion as a meat shield and a way to make up for naturally low direct damage.

Third is the weapon skills and how to use them. Try out all of your weapons and unlock all of the skills. You will find staff and scepter have the longest range and are forgiving that way. Dagger has the most damage but shortest range. Axe will not be of much use until you unlock the third tier of trait skills. For off-hand, dagger is pretty good for combat, war horn for mobility, and focus somewhere between.

Necromancer is, I think, the best job for those who want to try everything because there are so many builds that work you cannot miss catastrophically. Other jobs funnel players to overpowered, specific builds. Maybe I just have low expectations, or maybe just don’t care. Necromancer is the honey badger of GW2 professions. We are all crazy-suicidal and don’t care about winning like a few other professions. We also like to complain about minor inaccuracies and incongruities in the job.

Minion Master.

Dagger/Dagger. Or Dagger/Warhorn. Or staff. Whatever appeals to you.

Being currently in the process of leveling a Necromancer myself, I find condition damage stacking with Staff and minions to be great. You can have permanent regeneration on your minions (and yourself) and keep a decent amount of condition pressure. On switch I use scepter/dagger for cripple/bleed to slow groups moving towards me and area weakness/bleed to reduce damage, while damaging. It works for me, it might work for you too.

Staff + Minions worked great for me.

For heal+utilities I was running with:
Blood Fiend
Bone Fiend
Shadow Fiend
Signet of the Locust (for the 25% speed)
Flesh Golem

Just be sure to get 10 points in Death Magic for Greater Marks. Run up to groups of mobs, drop your Marks and you can basically go get coffee while the minions do the work for you.
