Curse

[Necro SS build;OABCY4lUeweQZgdwYgQzNoAA]

ignore the attribute points, I'm not at max level and I have a minor curses ruin on my headpiece (the headpiece attribute is also curses)

I got ran to camp rankor and capped the SS elite since...I thought it was quite useful actually, near end game prophecies, I might go and cap SV as well.

I didn't know much when I made this necro or i would have chose mesmer secondary and picked arcane echo to use so when I ascend, I plan on changing and putting that on.

is there anything I should particularly change? I'll of course consider the change but may choose not to change it.

I'm still new to necros but I am very much enjoying hexing my enemies ^_^

edit: it says necro/no profession O.o I am a secondary monk so, sorry about that, don't know why it says necro/no profession

looks well
but when you're secondary monk you might wanna consider taking [resurrection chant] instead of res sig
for the rest it's good melee hate from what i see

I considered taking the hard rez....but the long casting time put me off

the melee hate thing.....when I was a warrior, I got melee hate so fairs fair >_>

I'd drop P-Bond unless you know there's hex removal around. You only get 8 skills to use. That and Res Sig may pointlessly sit on your bar in some situations.

yes the long casting time is a downer but res sig is disabled after one use and can only be recharged by morale boost
these resses are to be used in PvE
just after the fight is over to res the dead teammates
it's just the way it is
in PvE a hard res > res sig

Swap Parasitic for SoLS and you have your standard general SS bar. Grats.

1. Definitely needs more Mark of Pain.

2. Insidious Parasite has an anti-synergy with Reckless Haste. RH causes monsters to miss, but IP relies on them hitting. Probably remove IP. (But see #5.)

3. PBond is a solid skill, but not essential to this bar. You don't need a cover hex for most of PvE, and you can just as easily fish with RH as cover with PBond. It could be taken out for other things like MoP or a PvE-only skill.

4. Since you're not using your secondary for anything, use it for hard rez. On a relatively skilled team Death Pact Signet is probably the way to go for offensive/support casters. If you're playing with teams that aren't good enough to keep DPSig from coming back to bite you, use Flesh of My Flesh or Rez Chant.

5. Some variant on Moloch's AP-MoP Bomber is something of an advancement over SS builds in many environments.

hmm, after reading the first couple, I guess remove IP for Mark of Pain, since I already have a hard Rez on now, I will eventually get pain inverter so that is a plus for varients on my build (mainly cause pain inverters on certain bosses = easy)
