Curse

I've been playing necromancer for 13 months, I've finished all 3 campaigns, I can farm, etc etc etc.

I'm not the most epic player ever to create a necro, but I play decently, now my problem is, I can't generate any damage in the GWEN dungeons, SS does almost nothing, minions get plastered all over the wall (either by dervishes, opposing minion armies [omw, those stone summit make minions fast], or the cursed searing flames), Spoil Victor only works 2 or 3 times every 10 seconds. Overall I find hexes and minions either useless (as is the case with SS) or underpowered (minion army getting squashed).

I'm finding myself running corpse denial builds most of the time, providing teamies with energy, carrying ranger spirits, and I'm finding it hard to get a team in most places.

I'm semi-decent in hardmode because of the mass weakening, a few conditions etc.

Could someone provide me with some tips to help me do some damage, and to actually be of use in GWEN dungeons?

Thanks!

I think you should consider Mark of Pain, Barbs and Enfeebling Blood. I also like to carry Great Dwarf Weapon + Ebon Battle Standard of Courage.

Darkrime Delves e.g. works great with MoP, as does Frostmaw and other dungeons. Your Heroes or Players work through you, but as a Curse Necro you usually prefer to group with physical attackers anyways, so you should have no problem getting ranger, paragon or warrior heroes.

If SS does not Kick, Icy Veins + Putrid Bile + Necrosis in the death line work, too. Or just Icy Veins + Necrosis and staying curses.

SS was always overhyped, no reason to echo it in GWEN, rather take one more PvE skill with you.

Thank-you for the reply, I will test those combinations tonight.
