wanting sigils not runes for my wep as well
but with the CoL gear you get specific bonuses from the runes for having a full set
Thanks guys,
still unsure though if i should change the runes out which come standard with CoF set. and do they do scholor sigils for weps?
I saw the build both Anchoku and Reknarok made the only difference really is one went soul reaping the other blood magic as well as wep choice giving me two option builds here. but the choice of staff i wasnt sure about with minion build in the past i have only really used staff in aoe situations and used scepter to build up conditions ( rabid condi build at the time)
so am not sure which to go for.
Anchoku how oftan do you use shroud with the build you showed me. I see with Reknaroks build shroud is used heavily.
thanks all
also what runes do i get for weps wanting damage
thanks Reknarok,
(question not aimed specifically at Reknarok) do i change the runes out that come with my COF gear? i thought i should but just thought to ask.
thanks
Necromancer does not have fixed rotations. It is more tactical than mechanical. If you are allowed, use auto-attack on dagger or scepter. Other skills should be used as they are needed or on cool-down. For example, dagger 2 heals; use it. Dagger 3 immobilizes; use it to lock down movement. Dagger 4 is for transferring conditions but off-hand dagger is not very useful in PvE while running power. It is useful when running conditions and the Master of Corruption trait.
Scepter 3 is the only way to get life force on scepter-dagger outside of utilities that are not condi-based so always use it when not on cool down.
Minions have their own skills. They are not bad, except for Shadow Fiend, which is hopelessly under-powered due to blind’s utter uselessness as a condition.
Ah ok thanks for that.
with me already having valkyrie weps do i just go full beserk gear?
Rabid armor has no power. When running around in PvE, power will help deal with mobs quicker.
Scepter is the only true condition damage weapon but the conditions are bleed and poison, which need stacking for several seconds to equal the damage output power weapons like dagger provide right away. Bleed works well on champions and some veterans because they are tough enough to last long enough for you to build and maintain your peak bleed stack. Use power for everything else, which will be almost all of the mobs you will find.
That is why I recommend a mix of berserker and valkyrie. If you want to kite champions, swap to your Rabid set but you will also want to change your traits and skills to something close to the meta raid setup on Metabattle.com. You will have less defense that way, though.
You can do all of your PvE mapping on pure berserker once you get the feel of it. You will clear maps the fastest that way.
Thanks Anchoku,
i am currently running COF so will get a full set of the poswer gear from there and i have also bought valkyrie weapons.
I will try the minion build probably at the end of the week once i have the full set.
with this build whats the sort of rotation or is there not one?
Cheers,
You plan to roam PvE so try the build I posted.
Do not try to make the rabid armor you got work for that. It is not offensive enough. A mix of carrion and berserker for a hybrid or a mix of berserker and valkyrie for a power build is fine. Review the traits I selected and ask questions.
when i used the boost to get to 80 the game gave me full rabid gear should i play a different build for this armour?
cheers guys. and what armor stats will i need for minion master?
this guide says cleric.

cheers for the feedback.
That was for the old pvp build, but cleric amulet has been removed from pvp. Just roll full zerker w/scholar runes. You don’t need to worry about survivability with all the minions soaking up damage, so best max out your damage stats.
do you have a build anywhere i can use to know what talents to go etc
Do you have access to reaper yet?
yea i have reaper although using the boost i dont have enough hero points so need to find them somehow. not going to enjoy running round the map!
cheers guys. and what armor stats will i need for minion master?

any sort of direction or builds to play so i can look them up would be useful
Hi, guys
I am new to necro and wanted to know what build would be great for me to learn the class. I used my free 80 boost on it and really want to learn the class now. I will look mostly to pve in the beginning and play pvp later on. I wondered what build will help me learn the class as well as being useful in pve.
Feel free to add me in game and talk to me as well, be greatly appreciated.
cheers
