need help with leveling necro!
Take a good look through your weapon skills and utilities and think about how you would like to play.
Once you pick what you want (what will work best for you), then look at the traits. Find the ones that will best compliment your previous choices on skills, utilities and play style.
Then you want to pick gear with stats that will best help you out. Now I didn’t say “pick the gear that best complements your previous choices” because if you did, this may leave you lacking in something that you may need (eg. survivability). No point going 30/30/x/x/x with gear that increases power, precision, and/or condition dmg if you are dying before you get the chance to act.
So you say leveling is hard for you, but in what way? If you are dying too easily, then the gear that will ‘best help you out’ will be gear that will increase your survivability (something with toughness and vitality or +healing).
When it comes to upgrades (runes, sigils, orbs, ect.), it is very similar to gear stats. What will best help you. It maybe usefull to leave out upgrades at first. If you feel you are lacking in damage or still need some more survivability, add upgrades accordingly.
Best of luck.
