You'd think someone who's completed, Night fall, Prophecies & Eye of the north would know this stuff. But alas i've forgotten it all in my absence from Guild Wars

So I have my amazingly expensive Eye of the North armor.
But my account was buggered with and all my runes and everything were removed..
I chucked a few on
I'm walking around with 120 health. I mean jeeze i could do some damage if I didn't DIE constantly

Can anyone give me some advice on what I should chuck on my gear?
maybe some build idea's too. (:
I would love that

- Remove all superior runes from your gear (using a perfect salvage kit so you don't break it) or overwrite them with new ones.

- If you are using a standard SS build with only Curses and Soul Reaping, use a Minor Curses Runes on your head piece (so you have +1 from rune and +1 from head piece) and a Minor Soul Reaping on another piece.

- Put a Vigor Rune (highest you have / can afford) on another piece.

- Fill out the rest with vitae (you probably don't need attunement runes on a necro because of soul reaping)

- Use the Insignia of your choice (I use 4x Survivor and 1x Bloodstained: the bloodstained is for when I switch to a death magic build with minions).

Now you should have a little more than 120 health

.

In general, don't use Superior Runes unless you really need them for a build, and never use more than one. The health penalty is usually not worth it.

I'm running around with 575 health with my SS gear, including superiour rune. What I use:

Survivor Scar of Sup Curses
Survivor Chest of Sup Vigor
Survigor Gloves of Min SR
Survivor Pants of Vitea
Survivor Shoes of Vitae

Then I use the following weapon set:

+5e +30 hp Spear
+30hp Curses + 1 (Chance 20%) Focus

Alternatively, I use a 40/40 Curses set, which leaves me with 515 health.

Hope that helps.

I can't add to the armor question, but for build information visit the Campfire section's Necro sub forum http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/n...ncer-f208.html ; post the build you are currently using and ask for advice.

It would seem that at one time you were running a farming build so took your health right down.

Stick with +1 runes and your good to go.

I also have 575 health on my Curses Necro, in much the same way as Sethellington:

Survivor Spectacles of Major Curses
Survivor chest of Minor Soul Reaping
Survivor gloves of Attunement (not sure why the Attunement

)
Survivor leggings of Vitae
Survivor boots of Superior Vigor

with 40/20, +30 staff.

And regarding the build, as much as I refer just saying 'check wiki'

Check wiki. The N/Me SS Nuker build is perfect. Add in 2 more PvE skills or whatever your fancy really. I've reverted back to using SS over Discordway/Sabway/Spiritway/Mesway etc because I've realised the shear damage it puts out. I'm VQing again and I'm running SS with a balanced team. Too easy tbh...
