Default Best secondary for PvP

I need some help deciding what secondary I should choose for my Necro, I have never played as one before.

I mainly want a build that suits AB. I have all campaigns except GWEN, but I will be getting it.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, I don't have any PvP only characters. Sorry I kinda made it look like I was only ever going to PvP with the Necro.

But I do want to use it for PvE, Probably more than in PvP.

/a for mobility, some self heals
/mo for heal, anti conditions, anti hex
/r I dunno some like that but inferior to /a
/w for defense and mobility
/d for pious haste

You do know you can change your secondary right?

Just complete the game using N/Mo creating your character in Factions.

Easiest.

/Me has the most synergy.

/E has GoLE

/A has excellent mobility

/Mo for self heals and condition/hex removal.

Those are my second professions, and i switch around depending on the need of the group or, to a greater extent, my mood.

However, you can play with only necro skills and bring a hard rez from your secondary profession. It's best to play that way.

1, Can you use pious haste with dervish as secondary?

2, And yes I do know that, It's my first necromancer so I wanted to know other peoples opinions.

3, Thanks for the help guys, you have gave me some build ideas.

yes you can use pious haste, lasts 5 secs with 5 recharge, though i'm not sure why a nec would need it. :P

He said he wanted a secondary for AB. a necro uses only necro skills with 1-2 slots for utility. for /d, pious haste allows you to escape from mobs, move to the next shrine, or rejoin you mates after being killed.

Pious Haste is mysticism which is the Dervish primary attribute.

indeed it is. But with 0 in mysticism it lasts for 5 seconds and refreshes in 5 seconds. infinite run skill, energy permitting

Oh man you learn something new every day, I always presumed you couldn't use skills from another professions primary attribute.

I feel like a fool.

Necros in PvP are generally always gimmick bullshit anyway. I wouldn't suggest using one. If you really want to, however, I'd suggest /E for Glyph of Lesser.

Oh, btw... necros with water snares are hot!

The more correct assessment after last update would be, necros in PvP do not exist.
