Alright, I've been quite lazy with this thread and with GW in general for a week or so. These are the promised builds.

N/Rt DwX Anti-Spellcasting Tank
Role: This is a support character suitable for bringing into HM PvE areas where you're facing spiking casters. Examples are Hells Precipice versus the Sparks, Hidden City of Ahdashim and more. The DwX character is sent to tank the casting mobs and disable their spells. This character is preferrable to the WoQ build in almost all cases, it's simply a better build. Attributes can be switched a little; Communing need not be 12, Restoration can be higher, Soul Reaping can also be higher (but 10 should be enough.) More Restoration spells can be added as desired to the general template if you want to make the character more "general-purpose".

Soul Reaping: 8+1+1
Communing: 12
Restoration Magic: 10

Defiant Was Xinrae - Vital Weapon - Wielder's Boon - Mending Grip - Shelter - Union - Displacement - Death Pact Signet

N/Me Psychic Distraction Necromancer
Role: Caster-based interrupt machine for PvE. Most of the time preferably replaced by a ranger but included as promised. Does pack some tools with limited additional PvE utility from the Domination line.

Soul Reaping: 12+1+1
Domination Magic: 12

Psychic Distraction - Empathy - Diversion - Arcane Thievery - Arcane Larceny - Cry Of Frustration - Shatter Hex - Signet Of Lost Souls

Death Magic: 12+1+x
Soul Reaping: 12+1
Healing Prayers: 3

Jagged Bones - Animate Bone Minions - Death Nova - Taste of Pain - Taste of Death - Signet of Lost Souls - Infuse Health - Vengeance

I like the idea of using infuse + taste of death with the minion bomber (although I usually run aegis and prot spirit on mine). I wonder if you couldn't buff healing prayers some and replace jagged bones with [wiki]Glimmer of Light[/wiki] or [wiki]Word of Healing[/wiki], and possibly drop taste of pain for another heal spell. The N/Rt provides almost enough healing for the party in most areas - with that additional buff, you might be able to drop any other healing you're bringing and focus more on damage.

I agree, SR is sooo broken, LOL

Never thought I'd see the Necro-MB concept with Infuse Health, as similar as it is to Flesh/Flesh. You put a lot of thought into this.

Taste of Pain is weak. I've removed it from the MB bar and never use it. I usually run an N/Me MB build on Olias (interrupt-centered). Slapping some prot or heal on the MB is fairly standard routine especially for 4-men areas.

Actually the idea of throwing heavy healing on the MB (more than just the Infuse) would be pretty attractive. I'll see what I can produce when I get home.
