Curse

This is my experimental build to use a 55 necro, instead of a 55 monk, with a 2 man UW group. I'm only posting the 55 necro build for it, the regular SS builds will work fine.

Attributes:

5 Blood Magic
12 Death Magic
10 Healing
11 Protection

Skills:

Essence Bond
Balthazars Spirit
Mending
Guardian (not sure about this one)
Protective Spirit
Deathly Chill
Healing Breeze
Aura of the Lich

Equipment:

Of course the full scar armor, with 5 superior runes. I use Villnars Claw and the -50hp cesta.

Summary:

Works a lot like a 55 monk, use Aura of the Lich against big groups or if your health seems to dip to low for comfort. I put guardian in there as a Interrupt-Protector basically. Now most people say "But, without Spell Breaker you're screwed!". Not true, this is where Deathly Chill helps, as soon as the nightmare pops cast Deathly Chill on it and it should die. (I have not tested this yet...but I assume so. Razz)

I'll be testing this next time we get favor, so I'll have more info later.

Any comments/advice is appreciated.

EDIT: The Deathly Chill thing works like a charm, just gotta make sure you watch for the nightmare pops. Only problem I can see is 2 nightmare pops...but even then you may be able to Deathly Chill one then wand then other real quick.

I did something similar to this for a 2 man build. Healing only really needs to be at 8 for +3 regen mending and +7 heailng. Guardian isn't needed too much because you can easily get prot spirit and healing breeze on you with aatxes, rebirth might be useful just incase. I dont do 2 man UW cause it's either I suck with the coldfires, or my ss/sv necro sucks at not getting that aggro when I group them up and run away from maelstorm. I decided to just go solo.

Yeah, really the only problem I have with this is those dang coldfires. Can't get out of the Maelstrom quick enough and either PS or Breeze will go off and I die.
