About the only good thing I can say is that you didn't do necro primary....IMO the damage takes to long to happen in PvE.

In PVP most people won't attack you anyways so you have a lot of life for nothing,

I agree.

However last BWE, i was trying out a "Elementalist / Necromacer" build, and i found it realy effective for PvE and PvP .... well the Elementalist part.

I found "Vampiric Touch" a nice move to finish oppenents of with though in PvE.

For my character i will not be using an "Elementalist / Necromacer" when the game gets released.

As for your build, i find it a bit of a waist that you have a primary Elementalist but do not plan on using any Elementalist skills, (as i found them very effective, Flare, inferno *drools*).

But its up to you, it deppends on your playing style etc etc on how effective your build will be.

I think you have too many 15e spells. Its gonna hurt your energy in the long run. You have Order of Pain in there...you planning on whacking people?

Why is this better than just blasting your enemies with the Elementalist nukes of your choice?

Cause it is different? I tend to think up different builds all the time, just to be different.

ROFL it's not because it's different that it makes it any good. The argument that you want to be original doesn't give you a damage bonus for when you're killing someone. If you use an E/N for PvE then it's a no brainer: nuker AoE spells and curses for SoF and Enfeeble. For PvP the build varies depends on what the other 7 people are doing.
