EotN nerfing secondary Profession? - Guild Wars Forums

Thehandsomedan · Sep 15, 2011, 07:41 PM // 19:41

I've got a Dervish/Necro, and I've been trying to figure out why my necro spells don't seem to be summoning worthwhile minions, I hadn't really paid attention to my attributes until a couple days ago, and I started tinkering with it.

Just for grins I can place *ALL* of my attribute points into Death magic(I'm level 16, to give you an idea of how many pts I could potentially put in there)... But it still gets moved down to 0. I feel like I must be missing something, some odd mechanic, some issue in my equipment... But I've got some pretty basic Istan and Sunspear armor on my character, a Darkblade Scythe (Guided By Fate, Damage +10%). This has been consistent since I entered EotN zones... Does anyone know WHY this is happening? All my other attributes seem to be just fine, it's just Death Magic. As someone who rather deliberately built a Dervish\Necro... I'd kind of like to use the frakking Necro actions :/

So... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Also this part might help you:

Quote:

This buff sets one attribute to rank 12 and three additional attributes to rank 9. The effect overrides the character's current ranks in all attributes and places 12 ranks in the attribute of the weapon the character is wielding, 9 ranks in that character's primary attribute, 9 ranks based on the attribute of the focus or shield the character had equipped (if applicable), and 9 ranks based on the skills on the character's skill bar until the character has three attributes with 9 ranks in them.

Try getting your dervish to level 20.......any character that reaches boreal station before level 20 has their attribute points temporarily raised and reassigned, but only to the primary profession skill lines (secondary professions aren't allocated points).

even as a derv with 12 in death u wont get many minions nor will they be as effective, the higher death magic the more minions, i suggest leaving minions to a minion master and taking AOE lifestealing instead as a grenth derv
