Curse

Hi, recently I've started a Necromancer, Considering my elementalist was for PvP, I needed something for PvE.

I am open to any critique/editing of the build, etc that you may have for me. However, keep in mind, This is my first necromancer. So yes, I will probably make a few mistakes in the build.

Name: Jeth's Build

Catagory: PvE/Farming

Character: N/Me

Attribs:

Death Magic - 12
Inspiration - 12
Blood Magic - 8

-

Skills:

Ether Lord:
You lose all Energy. For 5-9 seconds, target foe suffers Energy degeneration of 1-3 and you experience Energy regeneration of 1-3.

Mantra of Concentration:
For 60-156 seconds, the next time you would be interrupted while performing a skill, you are not interrupted, and Mantra of Concentration ends.

Energy Tap:
Target foe loses 4-6 Energy. You gain 2 points of Energy for each point of Energy lost.

Channeling:
For 8-46 seconds, whenever you cast a spell, you gain 1 Energy from each foe in the area.

Animate Bone Horror:
Exploit nearest corpse to animate a level 1-14 Bone Horror.

Verata's Aura:
Sacrifice 33% of maximum health. All hostile animated undead in the area become bound to you. Verata's Aura ends after 120-264 seconds. When Verata's Aura ends, you lose your bond with any undead bound to you.

Well of Suffering:
Exploit nearest corpse to create a Well of Suffering at its location. For the next 10-26 seconds, enemies in that area suffer health degeneration of -1-5.

ok...replace mantra of concentration with mantra of resolve.
channelling....limited use, because necros shouldnt be in the middle of battle, unless it has really long range....i havnt tried it.
veratis aura-useless in most areas, because you should be the only one with minions. bring this only of you plan on dying when you have a huge army.
ned rez too. maybe replac veratis aura

Channeling does have a pretty good range on it, IMO. I use it on my main sometimes. But Yeah..

What if I replace Veratas Aura with

Verata's Sacrifice - Spell
Sacrifice10% of maximum health. For 8-18 seconds, all undead allies gain 10 health regeneration. All conditions are removed from those allies and transfered to you

do u really need a mantra of concration or resolve unless ur farming Sorrows there are not many intrupts about a bit of a waste.

TBH i dont really see what ur trying to do if u want to be a minon master take a minon master build.-use the search button loads about!!

U need to decide what u want the build do to because atm u have random skills which is not doing much dmg and not enough healing to keep a large minon army a live

but if its ur first necro i let u of ^^

okay, thanks, I appreciate it leeky

yeah it looks like you want to be a MM so maybe try to place some att points in soul rip.

Use veratas sacrifice and blood of the master to heal minions

My N/Me goes something like this

Death 16
Soul Reaping 9
Curses 10

Animate Bone Fiend
Animate Bone Horror
Blood of the Master
Vetera's Sacrifice
Taste of Death
Mark of Pain / Deathly Chill
Arcane Echo / Deathly Swarm
Spiteful Spirit / Rez Sig

The last 3 are up to the situation really, if you go with the right set, then take away the curses and dump it all into soul reaping. This is a fairly simple build, and you can raise a large army with practice, AND spam SS at like 34 dmg and mark of pain at 41, it works nicely. Only bad thing about set 2 is the deathly swarm cast time is painfully long, sigh... If you have any questions please let me know, I am always happy to help new necros.

Animate bone horror and well of suffering contradict each other...you need a dead body for each of them and once you use a dead body once you cant use it again.
I would either choose all mm or no mm spells and and just have fun with the rest. Get out there and test the build, see how it works.
