Aslan, thanks for the offer! I only have Prophecies at the moment. I'll do all Prophecies before adding the next Guild Wars. I plan to go thru them all, but not via any short cuts

I am a necromancer. I only have a secondary profession because I think I had to choose one, and I chose Elementalist simply because I hope it will increase damage. I have no interest in healing anything

Yes. Too many people agonize over the choice of their first secondary, which really matters very little, so it's good that you've avoided this obsession. By the time you can change secondaries freely, you will have a better idea of which professions and skills will complement the types of necro builds you like to play. Until then you will be busy enough with other things, such as gaining more skills, and shouldn't be too concerned with crafting builds.

Necro is a GREAT first class. You should then be running healing and prot and CLAUDE Necro Henchman

Claude has Blood Rit as one of his skills so it might sound weird to use it but with you as the Minion Master you should be doing fine, just nee dto find you a MM build that is only with Prophecies skills to match your "desires" for prophecies only.

Its noble but much harder. Doable definatly

So I take it that you do not want me to help you cause I have skill from All of the games like Pain Inverter that will kill a boss in 2 seconds. Does like MASSIVE damage if the boss uses AoE on my minions. I run with a monk hero and 2 Necro Minion Master heros with almost the same build. So I have the option of 20 minions from thin air - no corpse needed -Aura of the Lich Elite.

So Yea let me see what builds I can find.

Ok I am racking my brain for skills for you since you are only getting them from quests given and skills trainers along the way as you travel though Prophecies.

All of my Fav Necro and ELE skills you will not get unti you are at or near the end of propheces so henchman are actually stronger skills wise than you are. I do not even think that you have an ELITE skill yet cause you can not start to cap them until later.

So let me ask you this, If the skills are Prophecies Skills are you willing to PLAY those skills BEFORE you actually get to the place where you can use a "Skills Cap" to acquire it? The other option would be to do some PvP and get some Balt Faction and unlock the skill on your account and then use a Tome to acquire the skill on your Necro.

You would still be "where you are" in prophecies and still using Prophecies Only Skills and you could only get 2000 balt faction in Trappers area since you do not have access to JQ for fast Balt faction. It would take you 5 days to get the 10K faction needed to optomize your build with Prophecies only skills.. assuming that you had none of the skills for a great build to begin with.
