i was wondering what was everyones favorite necro and mesmer skills?

StormWater · Jun 29, 2005, 07:40 PM // 19:40

While I love my minnons and fiends, there's nothing as satisfying as a few putrid explosions in the midst of a mob.

elenna · Jun 29, 2005, 07:53 PM // 19:53

I love Empathy. It is so enjoyable to watch the monsters attack themselves to death.

jmazpub · Jun 29, 2005, 08:11 PM // 20:11

While Empathy is great against melee, nothing beats Backfire against casters. They can literally kill themselves without ever laying a weapon on them.

You got a superior absorbtion rune? Well I've got insidious parasite which gives me health if they're attacking the other warrior!

Parasitic bond is also great for a boost at the end of battle making continuous battle easy.

feast of corruption for me, man i love that skill

Waylander · Jun 29, 2005, 09:09 PM // 21:09

I'm only lvl 10, but my Necro is secondary class, sooooooo.... I like blood magic since the lifetaps help my warrior, but I guess it'd be Vampric Touch or Shadow Strike.

mr_boo · Jun 29, 2005, 09:10 PM // 21:10

On the Necro side, I haven't unlocked all the skills yet, but I'm with StormWater...Putrid Explosion is just plain fun!

Venom · Jun 29, 2005, 09:10 PM // 21:10

I play a Mo/N, and I haven't experimented much with Necro skills, but my favourite one so far has to be Offering of Blood. Hands down

Enigmatics · Jun 29, 2005, 09:13 PM // 21:13

Lingering curse or plague touch -i've only tried necro for a warrior secondary.

silvertemplar · Jun 29, 2005, 10:14 PM // 22:14

I've found Rotting Flesh amazingly effective. I've already started getting "green bar" syndrome playing other chars [if opponents are not diseased/poison then something is wrong :P] .

On my Mesmer, Arcane Thievery is just plain amusing :P I just love stealing spells and trying it out without ever having to be that class :O . Ohh, nothing as cool as stealing
Monk spells from those pesky healers when the battle gets tough :P

Aniewiel · Jun 29, 2005, 10:17 PM // 22:17

As others have said, Empathy for melee fights, backfire for casters. Nothing is more satisfying than watching critters/people bust their own guts.

I also like a bit of Conjure Phantasm and watch things run around frantically healing themselves as the life is slowly....painfully...sucked out of them.

Sovetskeey · Jun 29, 2005, 10:24 PM // 22:24

On my Me/N I love Mark of Pain and Shadow of Fear. Get a tank in there hitting the one with Mark of Pain and cast Chaos Storm to help with the AOEs. Nobody can forget Empathy and Backfire though

. My character is only level 13 but it's likely I'll end up using most of these skills until late in the game.

Reiden Argrock · Jun 29, 2005, 10:30 PM // 22:30

Rend enchantments FTW

stumpy · Jun 29, 2005, 10:35 PM // 22:35

Mesmer = Echo (downside is takes elite ... but sooooo useful)
Necro = Rend

Indigo · Jun 29, 2005, 10:37 PM // 22:37

I like Soul Barbs... XD

25 damage every time a hex is cast on the target for 30 seconds... nice

Mark of Pain is awesome as well...

Both work well in PvE... Haven't tested my current build in PvP yet...

Enigmatics · Jun 29, 2005, 10:41 PM // 22:41

In my opinion, phantom pain+shatter delusions owns conjure phantasasm; it's great spike damage.
