I'm trying to learn how to play an OoA necro and could use some tips. Should the OoA necro keep OoA up at all times? Or should it only be used when called for by other players? Because modded IWAY doesn't have monks, and with Nature's Renewal up, it is almost impossible to heal someone and keep OoA up at all times with a 4 sec casting time.

I understand that the 2 necros take up the monks' jobs, so should the OoA necro run up and use heal other on a warrior or just stay back and spam party spells (like Extinguish and Heal Party)?

Any help is appreciated.

Try to stay out of the range of NR, but at the same time keep everyone in your radar so you can spam your healing spells. Only use OoA when it's been called for, and try to look out for enemy monks using things like Aegis, Guardian, etc. When your warriors all move on to the one target, usually a monk, use OoA until he drops, because chances are he will be getting a lot of enchants put on him if there are a bunch of warriors on his ass. And try to keep Blood Renewal up most of the time, it helps a lot with the health OoA takes off.

Thats my guess, haven't played OoA in IWAY before.

How to play an apostasy necromancer:
step 1: Put apostasy on your bar.
step 2: Use apostasy
step 3: Collect your fame reward
step 4: Be ready to get flamed by shard because you are running a build which requires no skill whatsoever and you're still winning with it, simply because arenanet is too retarted to know what their own skills are capable of.

Thanks. I don't think its possible to stay out of range of NR but I'm not sure. And I'm not sure how exactly to use Healing Seed since I'm supposed to stay back?

I'm not winning with OoA necro though, I'm failing miserably at it.

yeah, learn how to bloodspike or rangerspike, thats where all the real skill is at. It is really hard though, because sometimes the "3-2-1" doesnt come out of your mouth if you arent good enough and your fingers stop you from pressing the correct skill when the caller says 1. Shard, stop bitching about iway because your past overpowered builds got nerfed and now you cant beat it.
