I’m level 70 and this is my build http://tinyurl.com/Pure-MM-build
I have hearty armor set ( from level 45 ) with good upgrades and I’m doing fine.
I want to focus on Vitality and Toughness and other useful stat.
I’m confused between these sets >> Shaman , Soldier , Magi and Apothecary.
As Life stealing isn’t affected by healing power it won’t be much useful.
My main weapon is Staff and got DD as second.
Is there any other set that got Vitality , Toughness and Condition damage ?

All 80es > MM necro is my best ,cleric
guard ,nades eng ,Trap thief \ranger ,signet\shout warrior, zerk mes\ele & shiro rev.

To be honest, id go full bersker, your stats do not affect them so might as well just go full blown damage or go with knights armor. I would say clerics if our heals scaled better to heal them or if they didnt die in 1 boss aoe in most fights. There is a set with power, vit, and toughness. Cant remember what it is called, but it comes from AC instance and arah i believe.

I still believe MM is just a horrible choice for necros because of bad ai, horrible damage, and lack of quick recast times for them.

So there isn’t such a set that focus on Vitality , Toughness and Condition Damage ?
or Vitality , Toughness and Healing Power ?

minions don’t do that much damage and true have those ai problems so it is good idea to boost your own offensive stats too. then good amoutn toughness and vitality and you are fine.
I haven’t find healing stat that important. most minions can be summoned pretty soon after death anyway

Minions should be able to be re-summoned 20 seconds, 30 seconds after death at most. Any longer and the necro minion master is left with only his weapon damage and DS to buy time. Those minions when they work right should be up far sooner to be a good minion master. Look at mesmers, they can spawn illusions far faster then most players can wipe them out. That is what our army should be doing so we are not just left a few weapon skills and most of the utilities on cool down.

I dont think they have any with those stats, but that is just off the top of my head.

So you are saying that I should get soldier armor set and swap to Deal Daggers when all minions die , right ?

Knights gear is a good balanced choice.. the WvW Power + Toughness + vit is best imo, I think there is PvE gear with the same stats not sure I dont pve much.

U mean Soldier gear !!! > Got Vitality , Toughness and power.
Knight gear doesn’t have Vitality but Precision.

Power toughness and viltality sets are your best bet. You can get that from Ascalonian Catacombs and Honor of the waves.

Go berserk, you wont be often the target, bone fiend is the aggromagnet somehow. Or rampager for hybrid. The health siphoning gives you more than enough survivebility. WvWvW dont go minions.
