Guild Wars 2

So I decided to make a Necromancer today, and so far it’s been fun, but I’m completely lost on how to trait. Does anybody know of a good leveling build/guide out there that would help me out? Thanks!

I’m relatively new to necromancers too. I am level 24, and so far I have 10 for Spite and 4 for Soul Reaping. I use shadow fiend and back it up with a staff or dagger/focus.

This, so far, is working very well for me. The standard dps build (from what I’ve seen on the forums) is 30/25/0/0/15 so I’m slowly working towards that.

So in response to the “best” way to trait to level, I can’t be sure. But my build so far is satisfying to myself. And plus you can keep retraiting if you want to experiment.

Good luck! And welcome to the wonderful world of necromancers!

I floundered on my necro so much I stopped leveling it for a long time. Then I lucked out an saw Nemesis’ guides on necro leveling.

I would go his single target damage spec using axe/warhorn loading up on power/precision gear. His spec melts mobs. Heres a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6OeKsIh2Gw&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLsfTAd-qhsRxTk0WuXFF1I7qteSilnjcf

At level 40-50 I would use Lopez’ guide, its a condition spec that handles multple mobs a lot better. I didnt notice condition specs doing well at low levels, likely due to condition damage not scaling well that low?…. Once you hit 40 condition damage is sweet and melting a lot of mobs almost as fast as you would single target is very nice. Here is Lopez’ guide: http://lopezirl.com/2012/12/19/a-condition-necromancers-guide-to-pve/#WhyNecro

Follow it, it works awesome.
