Curse

Hi all! I'm new to the forum (not to GW though) and I thought I'd get some perspective on one of my builds

Class: Necromancer / Elementalist

Assumed items:
+1 to Soul Reaping
+3 to Death Magic

Attributes: (cost)
Soul Reaping: 8+1 (37)
Death Magic: 11+3 (77)
Air Magic: 11 (77)

Total attribute points used: 191/200

Skills:
1) Animate Bone Minions - (25,5,5) Exploit target corpse to animate two level 9 Bone Minions.
2) Soul Feast - (10,1,0) Exploit target corpse to steal 265 health.
3) Blood of the Master - (10,1,5) Sacrifice 38 health. All adjacent undead allies are healed for 110.
4) Death Nova - (5,2,0) For 30 seconds, if target ally dies, Death Nova deals 95 damage to all nearby creatures.
5) Conjure Lightning - (10,1,60) Lose all enchantments. For 60 seconds, your attacks strike for an additional 18 lightning damage.
6) Blinding Flash - (15,1,4) Target enemy is blinded for 9 seconds.
7) Lightning Strike - (5,1,5) Strike target foe for 38 lightning damage.
8) Glyph of Energy (elite) - (5,1,15) Your next spell costs 20 less energy to cast. This is an elite skill.

Basically I'm going for your basic Minion build, but I wanted to be able to handle any warriors trying to take me on (my biggest problem last Beta with the Minion Master pre-build), so I'm bringing along Blinding Flash

It's not one of my more complex builds, but it gets the job done.

I'm also considering throwing out soul feast. I'm not sure how often I'm going to really need it, and since corpses are already hard to get I figuer I should replace the skill with something else. Any suggestions?

Any comments/critiques would be appreciated.

Instead of Soul Feast you could take Taste of Death. That way you would not only have a heal, but you would also be able to choose when to set off your minion bombs.

Taste of Death

Description: Steal 100-340 health from target animated undead ally.
Energy Cost: 5
Casting Time: 1 seconds
Recharge Time: 0 seconds
Skill Type: Spell

Great idea. And on top of that I don't have to worry about using another corpse for the heal. (like in the beer commercial) BRILLIANT!
