Maxing out Death Magic - Guild Wars Forums

Online Gamer · Nov 21, 2007, 11:41 PM // 23:41

Ok I' am begininning a necromancer minion master(I am not really paying any attention to my 2nd profession) I want to know what is the best way to get it as high as possible... Like what armours, staffs, runes.

What and where do you gets Scars?

I have a build here Animate Bone Horrors, Bone Fiends, Flesh Golems, Blood Of the MAster, Taste of Death, Death Nova, Either Deathly Swarm or Icey Veins and Heal area. is it good?

Well, the highest you can get death magic on a "permanent" basis is 16: 12 in the death magic stat +1 from headgear (scar) +3 from a superior rune.

Other than that, you can get a staff or focus item that will give you another +1 for a % of your spells cast (the highest I've seen is +1 20% of the time)

There are other ways to get death magic a bit higher - some campaigns have places where you can kneel at a resurrection shrine and pay to get an extra +1 but only for a brief period of time.

What campaign are you in; Prophecies, Factions, or Nightfall?

Get Death Magic headgear.
Put sup Death Magic somewhere on your armor.
Get a Death Magic staff and add Death magic +1 (chance 20%)

Level 28 flesh golems right there

Your weapons' stats will depend on what build you have. Armor should be Minion Master's insignias on everything except boots which should have Blodstained insignia.

Yup pretty much what these dudes said... highest MM would be 16 +1(20 percent of the time). You can also get boosts like shrines and comsumable items and whatnot that boosts it up even further, but you can't use those in PvP

Nightfall and factions, the resurrection shrines that have a statue of grenth on them.

EDIT: as to where these shrines are: in most areas.

With the insignia system now being game-wide, I moved my bloodstained insignia to my death magic scar headpiece. The chance to be hit is about the same as your boots, and this way I only need to change one piece of armor when I go between curses/blood and death magic.

I'm currently using radiants on everything else though I'm thinking about changing that to survivors or the general armor insignia.

ive seen a lvl 34 flesh golem called "George"

BenjZee · Nov 22, 2007, 03:37 PM // 15:37

named? WTF

anyway you can boost your death magic higher but its not permanent. You can do it through the use of event items. Some give you say +1 attributes for 10 minutes
