I have chosen to be a necromancer in the NightFall edition of guildwars, and i might add it is way better than factions, but people say factions wasnt good, i loved it, better than prophesies, anyways, moving on.

I dont know where to go as a necro. I have already chosen monk as my secondary, but i think my necro is a tad weak as a minion necro. I want to switch back, but is monk wrong for a blood necro? all i know is that necros have not many effective healing spells, and healing breaze is helpful when in a large group.

Any ideas, or past experiences?

Thanks,
Cardiac.

Here is a standard Blood Build: http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:N/any_BiP_Necro
This is a Popular Necro/Dervish Variant: http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:N/...c_Blood_Bonder

Dervish coulda been a better choice as you see... but Monk can work just find spells similar to the dervish ones to replace them.

Blood Necros are what people call "Batteries" and thats to supply energy to the entire team, this one also supplys HP as well.

As a death necro you'll be dealing with minions, yes minion masters aren't that good at the beginning because everything is weak and short-lived, but near the end and sometimes in AB they are pretty devastating.

If you want pure dmg as a necromancer, go down the curses attribute line and pick up the spell "Spiteful Spirit" Learn how to place it and how to cover it with another hex(es) and enjoy the pretty yellow numbers ^^.

Hope you have fun with your necro!

go ahead and try, later on you can change your secondary to anything else anyway, right? Then you can try going the N/Dervish. Cool link, I'll have to try that myself!

My main that I started in the first world preview of guild wars back in 2004 was/is a necro and I never stopped enjoying it.
There are many variations you can go and in all chapters there are places in which you can get all the second professions so you can switch at any time.
I started as a necro/mesmer and got later the monk and the ranger secondaries for other variations.
A good damage necro build is a death magic/Blood Magic build.
You can even go with a mix of a death/blood/curses build but will have to either keep them all balanced in the attributes or give one of the three more points to be effective enough.

The death line has not only the minions but also good damage spells, the curses have mostly disables/dots and interrupts while the blood has damage, energy, health regenerations and health degenerations.
If you want to go the minions way I would suggest you to get all the available minions + the elite flesh golem (factions at the xianqua Skyway to be found) and vary through them. There are many fun builds for any profession actually but the necro profession is one of my favorites because its more unique than "standard" and helpful in many ways.
Good luck and have fun!

I've ran it myself a few times down in Vabbi and beyond. Mastered every mission (with PUGs)
