Guild Wars 2

I’m playing MM necro atm or… the times when my pets decide to play as well. -.-

Blood Fiend was “ok” for starting, then at higher levels, Well of Blood is far better (imho).

Once you get 30 point in Blood Magic trait line, all pets are going to transfer life to the master and since staff.#2 healing takes care of the melee minions, Well of Blood helps the little ranged dps pet near to you (Bone Fiend, the most hated by mobs -.-).

Plus -> Well of Blood generates a Combo Field: Light.
Removes conditions with projectile (staff.#1) and buff Retaliation (Bone Minions explosion or staff.#4).

About the weapons.
My setup is: Staff – Scepter/off Dagger.

Reason I use off Dagger is for the .#4 condition transfer when my staff.#4 is on cd or can’t benefit from it due the range. The aoe bleed is also nice.
Scepter is the only single target main weapon I can use without too much frustration and with some enjoyable skill (aoe snare).
Dagger.#1 has an impracticable range, even more if the mobs attack/follow the pets.
Axe is just boring and underwhelmed.

In any case, if I want to build life force I just stay with staff, at the end I think the best and primary weapon for a MM necro.

(sorry for the grammar mistakes, English is not my native language).
