Alright, first off: Your build. It's decent for a level 14, but frankly, get rid of the first two skills, as they're in a different attribute. Use Price of Failure and either Parasitic Bond, Enfeeble, or Weaken Armor. Feel free to use other spells from the curses line. Trash Faintheartedness too, as it makes SS and Insidious Parasite trigger less often due to the lowered attack speed.

A 55 is a build used to "farm" particular locations for loot. To become a 55, you need a superior rune on each set of your armor, which brings you down to 105 health, then the -50 health offhand from the quest Cities of Ascalon, to bring your health down to 55. As for skills:

[Protective Spirit][Healing Breeze][Spirit Bond][Spiteful Spirit][optional][Mending][Balthazar's Spirit][Essence Bond]

The empty slots can be used for anything. You can also use the build located here: http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:N/...SS_Necromancer . That'll probably be better than my makeshift build. Look up the skill locations on the wiki (http://www.wiki.guildwars.com). Just a tip:I'd wait until I'm level 20 with all my attribute points (Don't forget the two attribute point quests!) before I started farming if I were you.

Ember Light Camp is on the Ring of Fire islands. Amnoon Oasis is in the Crystal Desert. Look up their exact locations on the Wiki.

Hope this helps!

i have all those skills except for Protective spirit, how do i get to Amoon oasis or Ember light camp? (the farthest ive gotten to is LA)

reort · Jun 30, 2008, 02:52 AM // 02:52

sorry for double post, but what should my attributes be for 55hp?

Konig Des Todes · Jun 30, 2008, 03:05 AM // 03:05

Click the link that Sora posted for the attributes, as for getting to Amnoon, it is after Sanctum Cay mission (I don't suggest runs if it's your first time through, from LA its 7 missions until Amnoon, with a run just one, your choice). To get to Ember Light Camp, then you need to do either 15 missions via storyline, or 1-3 missions with a run to droks.

OR, you can unlock the skills you need via Balthazar Faction, then buy regular tomes for about 500g each.

Also, use the edit button to change a post to avoid double posts.

Hey man, if you want to enjoy this game more, play through the missions, enjoy the game play, and once you are level 20 then worry about your skills. Don't rush through just to complete your build, trust me its not worth it.

Trax Reborn · Jun 30, 2008, 04:01 AM // 04:01

unlocking skills with faction only makes them useable on PvP char, not your normal ones.

Nuff said. You can use [faintheartedness] just don't cast it on someone with [SS] or [insidious parasite].

reort · Jun 30, 2008, 04:04 AM // 04:04

i am playing through missions, but i just like to finish them quicker and The missions now are pretty fcuking hard so i need good skills right?

Kawil · Jun 30, 2008, 04:09 AM // 04:09

Good skills yes...but you have to learn how to play the char first.

Moloch Vein · Jun 30, 2008, 04:13 AM // 04:13

If the missions you're playing through right now are "pretty fcuking hard" when you have Spiteful Spirit, there's something badly wrong.

Check your armor. Make sure you have proper runes.

Only invest points in Curses and Soul Reaping.

Bring Spiteful Spirit, Barbs, Mark of Pain, Insidious Parasite, Enfeebling Blood, Weaken Armor, Desecrate Enchantments, Resurrection skill.

When you attack, Control-Space your target.

Watch things die.

reort · Jun 30, 2008, 04:20 AM // 04:20

well i havent done any missions since i got Spiteful Sprit :P. Can i do the missions alone with these skills? i have all of them except desecrate enchantments. what does Control-Space do?
and should i also take Soulbarbs?

Kawil · Jun 30, 2008, 04:24 AM // 04:24

Now ya know why we want you to play through the game. It's all about learning how things work.

And if you mean "alone" then no. If you mean with henchies, then perhaps.

Unlocking skills with faction makes them available at any skill trainer in their respective chapters. That's especially helpful in Prophecies where some skills aren't available until frigging Port Sledge.

reort · Jun 30, 2008, 04:31 AM // 04:31

i do missions almost everyday but i just cant resist from getting awesome new skills :P
Chthon, can i just buy a skill with faction and then buy it from ANY skill trainer?

Yes, any non-elite, core or prophecies skill that you've unlocked becomes available for purchase at any prophecies skill trainer.

Yes, they do. Look at their healthbar, if you see an arrow UP they have an enchantment on them. If the arrow is DOWN, they are hexed. They can also have one arrow up and one arrow down, which means they're both enchanted and hexed. The build is ok, but I suggest you take another resskill.
