Guild Wars 2

So Minions are basically useless (save Flesh Golem) and I should be leveling using other skills? Also yes I am running Locust, I see no reason not to run Locust, the 25% movement speed is just too valuable in saving time getting from Point A to Point B.

I don’t have Specializations yet (though this will be remedied in a day or two) but another question I have is should I stick with staff or double daggers for leveling solo?

Followed by sylvari!

Have fun Immolating yourself~ or overloading that lightning and setting yourself on fire as a result.

Other races would obviously be vulnerable to these sorts of hazards but I imagine Sylvari are the weakest against an Elementalist because Fire > Wood.

I’m leveling my first character (chose Necromancer because I think Humans have better racial gear for an Elementalist) I intend to mostly solo for now (will probably go Reaper at 80, question is how do I get there?)

So I’ve been looking at Necromancer skills. Now, weird thing about me is I don’t actually micromanage skills very well (I’m very thankful Guild Wars 2 only has… 10 buttons plus specials I need to look at, I don’t enjoy MMOs that have like 4 hotbars minimum requirement) since I’m soloing anyway, I figured I should get Minions.

The question is, what are the best to summon? I plan on keeping Signet of the Locust to speed up leveling by virtue of getting where I need to go faster, but what about other slots? Should I use Signet of Vampirism or use a Blood Fiend? is Blood Wurm worth the hassle of moving? what other two Minions should I get?

I’d appreciate any advice or help, thanks!
