Guild Wars 2

New Necro looking for a viable Pet Build to grow into.

While leveling a Guardian I couldn’t help but notice this player running around with a personal army of scary looking beasts and I thought to my self this looks like what an old fashioned WoW Warlock should be rocking.

Now I want to roll a Necro, have an army of creepy pets, and be viable in Open World PVE, and casual 5 man runs at lvl 80.

I’m looking for a build, a leveling path suggestion, and gear input.

If there’s a relevant thread please point me in the right direction and I will educate my self.

Thank you.

Really? You thought they were scary? Anyway Minions are really good for levelling and they can be good in higher level things to. There are many variations of a minion build that can work so the one I’m linking is NOT set in stone. This one is pretty good but I’ll say it again, they’re many variations and this is just one.

With this build you can run full berserker gear or Soldiers or even maybe knights or you can even mix and match, whatever you prefer. For levelling I recommend going down the death magic line first, then you can go from there. I’ll link you to a guide you might find some use for.

Good luck =)

EDIT: I should add these are for PVE. For PVP you will want to run something a bit different.

Well I meant scary as a compliment of course, I appreciate the aesthetic of the class, thank you for the builds.

Well this is just embarrassing . The build I showed you is now outdated….kitten

Is actually up to date, looks like it was updated this month.

This. They have a history of nerfing minion classes and any good things they have into the ground. They don’t want anybody using minions or enjoying them. You may be doubting this, but let me assure you if necromancers had been meant to raise minion armies, the minion armies wouldn’t suck as badly as they always have in this game. Also there would be more then like 5 of them.

Hi bro , I’m a MM since gw1 as I found MM build the best necro build ever.
http://tinyurl.com/mw4pqgj is a very good build even for level 80 and dungeons.
I’m the last man standing in dungeons and it’s too rarely to die.
