I have been using Nemesis’ necro guide as my reference to build my necro. Currently on lil 50 and shaping up to be a glass cannon build. I have to be honest, it does not feel like playing a necro in terms of playing style, but it sure packs a lot of DPS (maximising on might and vulnerability), and it will surely help to lvl up faster when soloing maps. My build is currently 20/10/0/0/20, axe/focus and dagger/dagger or dagger/warhorn. Utilities are blood is power, well of suffering, signet of spite and flesh golem When soloing I’d mainly stick to axe/focus with my DPS rotation, pop skill 4(focus), then skill 2(axe). Should go down in 3 secs tops, then while waiting for skill 4 to reload, I’d pop blood is power on the next mob, then auto-attack until skill 2 is available, then I’d pop that. By the end of this, skill 4 should have finished reloading, so you can rinse and repeat. If u wanna pull a group of 3 mobs or more, pull them together, pop blood of power, skill 4, drop well of suffering, then pop death shroud and skill 4. Should demolish all mobs in less then 5 secs. Hardly ever use the second weapon config, only when I am rarely waiting for cool downs, and even that I just jump into DS as life blast deals more DPS. All my gears are +power and +precision. Hope this helps with your build decision. Again, I have to say there is little traditional necro playing style with this build as the usage of minions or conditions is almost non-existent.
