As our minions don’t benefit from our stats you should focus on condition damage as your main weapon should me Staff to heal them.
Absolutely not. Condition damage is the worst possible way to build a minion master. There are three reasons to ignore condition damage as a necro.
1. There are so many condition runners in dungeons, and your damage will be significantly worse since you don’t have a single beneficial trait to condition damage.
2. There are significantly better utilities for conditionmancers that running minions with a condition build is baffling.
3. Power builds benefit from Death Shroud much more than Condition builds, and since Death Shroud is your big hitter in a Minionmaster build it makes almost no sense to run conditions.
So this build will be better ? ( check sigils and runes )

The best and fastest way to build life force is via Dagger 1st skill , got staff as main ( landing marks ) and Dagger/focus ( switch to get might and damage ).

I got LB and sword/torch as I believe that torch got the strongest skills in the entire class even if you don’t have any condition damage.
If I’m wrong , what is the strongest one ? ( off hand )

Thanks for the advice guys! I really enjoy the staff, and I did figure out the Chaos Storm and Phase Retreat trick before.
What about Mantras? I remember a while ago people saying they are absolutely useless. In PvE some of the better utilities aren’t so useful (Null Field is one for sure, although it’s another ethereal combo), so I’m thinking maybe Mantra of Pain if its any good. Maybe also Mantra of Recovery, but I assume that won’t be as good until I get the 3 mantra trait
You are welcome bro , did you check my build ?? http://tinyurl.com/boseadv
I use Mantra of recovery and pain ( both are traited ) , they will give you the most healing you can ever get from your class. Mantra of Pain will damage and heal at the same time.

I think dmg displayed on skill is base dmg that is then calculated with other factors. My whirling defense make around 5-7k depending on setup but never 12k+ like it would if dmg was 1k per hit.
If it’s neither 1008 nor 84 , what is the right damage per hit ?
Is it stronger that torch skills as I found that torch got the strongest skills in the entire class. ( even if I don’t have much condition damage )

Swapping is to too important. If you have dual axes , get long bow for it’s high damage ( skill 3 and the strongest burst ).
Build Adrenaline with 5th axe then swap to LB for its burst.

ANet to come out and make vague statements about a “major” rebalancing of AoEs without specifying the profession(s) and skill(s) that prompted their concern. It just created unwarranted panic in the streets.
Much panic indeed , it may be a surprise after all

Edit: On that note, i wouldnt use P/P because they are outclassed by the bombkit and bring nothing to the fight.
I used to use Rifle rarely before the patch ( that made kit to be affected by sigils ).
Now I got P/P just for the sigils > bloodlust and battle , and I rarely use my pistols as I find explosives to be more than enough .
Up to you. I find in your case, having a rifle to replace grenades worth more than 1 sigil.
Pros:
-further range
-jump shot for jump puzzle
-1 more trait,
-1 more utility slot
Cons:
-1 less sigil
- Further range , but much less damage -2X and much less critical chances as grenade got the highest critical chances (3 hits in 0.5 sec ) for us.
- You can swap to rifle just for the jump puzzle !
- 1 more trait ? I have to get the 25th explosive minor skill to stack 25 Vulnerability in seconds.
- There isn’t any utility slot better than grenade as I focus on explosives ( all my build ).

If you are a true MM , all your minions will live for a long time.
Try this build http://tinyurl.com/alxvkq7
Heal them with Mark of blood and transfusion , you won’t need to use any healing skill as long as they are breathing .
Wow that’s really a kitten build :o
Thx imma use it ^^
sorry >> small change http://tinyurl.com/a5t3h9a > focus instead of dagger for vulnerability which will increase your minions damage.

It seems that I should stay on my build which focused on bomb , mine and grenade. http://tinyurl.com/ap5uwkp
Keep using grenade then swap to bomb when being in melee range .
All 80es > MM necro is my best ,cleric
guard ,nades eng ,Trap thief \ranger ,signet\shout warrior, zerk mes\ele & shiro rev.
yes. you can start with smoke bomb if you engage more than 4 foes at a time, or foes with stun/knock. start with bomb3 then bomb2 if you want more damage. if all else fails run in circles and keep dropping bombs (i killed a champion this way). always kill the range mob first. damage for bomb1 is usually between 600 – 1200 (non-crit) and its aoe.
So you are saying that it’s stronger than traited grenade ? ( without critical attacks )

Only a necromancer kill rabbits , rats , hawks , eagles , racoons , …… etc >> They are too important to him as he lands him Mark of blood on them to heal his minions .

For engineers , bomb is the safest and strongest weapon at the same time.
You don’t even need to look to your foe , with speedy kits and power shoes u can just run and spam bomb skills with some mines. All melee foes will not be able to catch you , will they ?
I’m talking about PvE !

Fellow necromancers, we know the little things about our class that are nonsense, so let’s joke around and have a little fun. Begin with “Only a necromancers” and fill the rest in about our in-game gimmicks. To start things off:
Only a necromancer would call for an undead papers army.

Got dual swords = power stat , but what about the staff ?? Will power be better as it increases its phantasmal damage ? or condition damage for chaos skills ?

With staff I can cast 9 conditions on my foe , will it be 90% >> ( 438 +90% = 832.2 ) or +10% on each condition >> 438 ( 438*10% ) = X >> X + (X*10% ) = Y >> Y + (Y*10% ) = Z ………………………and so on ?

Use staff for MM bild. I know the damage of the staff is very limited but it’s the best way to keep your minions from dyying.
Giving regen to minions,, transfers conditions of the minions to enemies. Poison combo field with Putrid Mark blast finisher gives a long weakness debuff to enemies. Heals from well of blood, and traits for healing with syphoon and leaving death shroud. all help to keep your minions alive.
Staff is the main MM weapon and no one can deny that !!!
I’m asking about a secondary weapons >> So ( focus ) it’s still the best off-hand weapon for minions because of its vulnerability , right ?
