Guild Wars 2

I am playing as a asura necromancer. I prefer minions and pvp for playstyle. any vets of gw2 and necromancer give me some tips about lvling my character and doing it efficiency. Thanks

In pve, i suggest to just maximize your power, precision, and some soul reaping for traits, and using axe + dagger/staff for aoe purposes. you can complete hearts fastest by rounding up a couple enemies and aoe’ing them down to death using any skills you can get that help get life force back quicker it seems like the developers REALLY want you to use lifeforce for everything.

In s/tpvp it seems like the minion master build is one of the top 5 right now in the current meta, so im sticking with that right now although it pretty much requires no skill and just face-rolls pretty much anyone you face.

If i can find the spvp build im using in the forums again ill link it here. have fun! necro is an easy class to play, but hard to master.

I agree with him for the PvE part except I’d recommend going Axe/Focus and Staff. The dagger gives an AoE bleed ability but you’d be pretty much a power build so it wont be great for you, Dagger skill #4 transfers 3 conditions from you to an enemy which is nice but again it’s better for condition builds. You can use staff #4 to remove your conditions or consume conditions (healing spell)

The focus #4 1 vs 1 can stack 12 Vulnerability on the opponent, along side Well of Suffering, this can get your enemy to 20+ stacks easily and that will maximize your damage with Axe #2. Burst DPS is very good for PvE world roaming and leveling.

I’m a MM ( in both gw1 and gw2 ).
I got 5 80es characters ( MM necro , trapper ranger , demolisher engineer , cleric guardian , signet/shout/banner warrior ).
I think that MM is the best one and I’m the last man standing in dungeons.
In PvP , I can kill any one ( I killed 4 players at once while camping ).
You just need to know how to control them and keep them alive.

Soldier armor ( mixed with Knight ) will grant you much Toughness and some Vitality so you won’t worry if they killed ur minions.
begin the fight with staff ( land all marks ) then switch to dagger/focus ( you will get might when switching ) , use 4th and 5th skills , 3rd to immobilize your foe , transform to DS and use 5th skills and 3rd ( to increase 5th skill damage by 200% ) , after that use 4th skill to heal your minions , 2nd to tele to your foe , return to your normal form and spam dagger chain attack , then switch to staff …… and so on.. ( This is how I play )
(Remember that Dagger chain attack is the strongest attack for necros even than axe )

bro , I don’t think that I mentioned WvW !
I was talking about both PvE and PvP , of course in zerg attacks even players will melt
I think that MM is a god in both PvE and PvP ( just when you master the build ).

According to Wiki , pets share their agony resistance with thier owners.
If pets include minions so they are perfect , if not ( you should change your build when entering fractals ) . btw , I don’t do fractals with my MM necro.
