Hey all I need alittle help here with a necro build. I have no experience with them at all but am looking to build a support character that can help our monks out a bit.

The main plan is for this character to get right up there with the 2 Wars on the team and help them out with heals and removing conditions. The monk will have to focus on him alot because of lacks of self heals but I wanted to put a few warrior skills in so atleast he can fight alittle. I am still torn between "Swift Chop" and "Flurry" to try and get the adren recharge faster cause if anything the only thing he brings to the fight with the axe is "Disrupting Chop" . Anyway any help would be appreciated.

Infuse Condition would be running at all times, after first death.
Verata's Sacrifice would be cast whenever allies get some conditions stacked.
and Dark Bond is there to make him tank alittle better

Your biggest problem here is relying on Death Magic, by far the worst line in the Necromancer suite. I played one like this last event, and got slaughtered. First, it was rare when a corpse came up, but then the 5 sec cast to create minions was allways either interrupted, or the opposing team used "Well of Blood" or some other skill to exploit the corpse first. The only hope for deathmagic is running it as a mesmer/necromancer with fastcast; at least the cast time is 3 rather than 5. but it is still a streach. Further, if you are playing a death necromancer in PvE you better be sure not to have another necomancer on your team -- they will want to use the corpses too... and then you will get in a fight.

Second, assuming that you even go with death magic, you've got well of power (an elete slot totally wasted) -- corpses are already scarse, you ain't going to have enough as it is.

You know you are right I was thinking that Blood of the Master and Verata's Sacrifice healed allies but it would only heal UNDEAD allies. I can be so stupid. Well back to the drawing board and thanks for taking it easy on me
