I have recently made an MM necromancer who was N/M
But after a while I noticed I wasnt using ANY of the monk skills...
All I basically used to "heal" my minions was stuff like Blood of the master.

I was wondering, what seccond prof I should pick for better energy regen and ma energy. Also something that helps me keep my energy up, because the only thing Im having trouble with sometimes is not having enough energy to raise another minion when nececary.

[Heal Area] is good. [Dwayna's Sorrow] has seen some play as well.

Having high Soul Reaping should help with energy problems....

If you want to try a different secondary, go /D with [Mystic Regeneration]

yep go with the high soul reaping and u can add the skill Aegis to your Monk Skills this is a useful skill

[protective spirit], [spirit bond], [extinguish] and [aegis] are all incredibly strong /Mo things a Necro can afford. Prot iz gud.

For your energy, don't look at secondary options - all the energy a necro needs comes from his primary.
Max Soul Reaping, take a hit with a superior/major SR rune if you feel like it (with [[dark bond], [[aotl] and [[botm], lower max hp doesn't hurt an MM much)

If that's still not enough, then [signet of lost souls] and [foul feast] r gud too. (edit: Foul feast has had a massive overhaul... check out the new description)

Since no one has mentioned, [[heal area] with 6 in healing prayers is for keeping your Minions alive between battles. I hit [[blood of the master] twice, then heal area to heal myself and the minions. Even with the minions at max degen you can keep them alive for as long as you need this way.

If you have [Masochism], you can use [Blood of the master] and get refunded a bit. You could also use [Restful Breeze] with [Order of Undeath] to get good damage while providing decent heal regen.

You should spend attributes only on Death Magic and Soul Reaping, and do bring [Signet of Lost Souls], it helps a bunch.

And do not always try to use [animate bone fiend], try something else, such as [animate shambling horror] or [animate bone horror] to save up energy and bring variety to the party.

[skill]Aura Of The Lich[/skill][skill]infuse condition[/skill][skill]dark bond[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill]

If you use these as your foundation along with any two standard minion skills ([skill]animate bone horror[/skill] and [skill]animate bone fiend[/skill] being popular choices) you can spam blood of the master for free.

Half Damage with 75% of the routed to closest minion along with any conditions and you receive and +9 health regen from mystic (hence the free BotM).

[skill]signet of lost souls[/skill] for extra energy management.

Not sure how effective this is in PvE, but it's great in AB and Fort Aspenwood.

Definitly go with Hearty Minoin master, its N/D great health upkeep for you and your minions. as for energy maybe add some to soul reaping? and get yourself sig of lost souls

$hade. · Apr 27, 2008, 11:50 PM // 23:50

I always have SIgnet of Lost souls. ONly reason I picked /Mo was for the hard res. I sometimes bring Heal Area though since it's helpful in certain places.

Copy/Pasted from the last time someone asked a basic MM question without searching first:

As for what you should run, same thing I say every time:

12 + 1 + 3 death
10 + 1, 2, or 3 SR
8 self-heal's attribute

0. Rez or Rez Scroll
1. Bone Fiend
2. Melee Minion: Bone Horror OR Vampiric Horror
3. BotM
4. Self-Heal: Heal Area OR Mystic Regeneration OR AotL
5. E-Management: Masochism OR SoLS (OR maybe none if you make low-cost selections for other skills)
6. Elite: OoU OR AotL OR maybe Flesh Golem.

Leaves you with 0-2 optional spots. EBS's are good options, as are many other PvE-only skills; Rotting Flesh and Well of Suffering are probably the strongest options in the Death line; Blood offers Dark Bond and a few utility skills that work at low rank; You can dip into your secondary for utility. Whatever you do, please don't use the silly cold-damage skills in the Death line -- they are all expensive, slow-casting, armor-sensitive, low-damage garbage. And that goes double for deathly swarm.
