Where on earth are you gonna find five energy every three seconds on a warrior? Does your armor have secret compartments or something?

Jam Jar · Oct 30, 2007, 04:43 AM // 04:43

N/W's can go full N too!

Age · Oct 30, 2007, 04:45 AM // 04:45

It would be a lot better to go Necro/Ranger in reverse of an R/N.Then say a N/W I see lots with shields and swords but in all honesty you don't need to get in melee range as you can steal life already.

Exactly. Warrior isn't a bad secondary for a necromancer, as long as you aren't trying to melee with him.

There are many Mo/W non-melee builds that work great, and the necromancer can take advantage of those as well.

That is true but when we start taking damage we can hit a stance and throw on a protection spell.Necros would still be taking damage even though they have curses and life stealing it is not enough to keep them alive.

Fixed!

Honestly, there is nothing the warrior secondary has to offer to necromancers. You could use skills like "Shields Up!" and "Watch Yourself!" to support your team but those skill slots would be much better on your teammates except for in rare special situations.

These builds were suggested earlier:

Tainted Warrior
Dark Aura Bomber (with Tactics)
Cursed Warrior
Lich Hacker

Tainted Flesh is a target ally enchantment, there's no reason to use it on yourself purely for the sake of charging into combat when you have other frontline characters to use it on. Dark Aura does not need it's secondary apart from (possibly) a snare, the only real warrior snare you might use is Hamstring but that's completely inefficient compared to choices from other secondarys. The other two are joke builds that are just a random combination of bad skills from two random classes.

If you plan on playing a warrior, go do your tanking and slashing, don't bother with spellcasting. (Unless you're using Necrosis/Plague Touch) If you plan on playing a necromancer, load up SS and some anti melee and blow stuff up or use Minions. Just because N/W and W/N have the same letters in them it doesn't mean they're anything alike or comparable in any way.

Actually, it's not bad for a N/W to throw on a stance to help him kite/evade the damage away. They definitely can't "tank" like a Mo/W can if they start taking damage, but it can help them survive until they can escape.

Tactics is also nice for e-denial swapping, to get the full advantage of your shield...

id have to say N/W wins= a W/N with plague touch could NEVER remove as many conditions :/ kekeke

Teutonic Paladin · Oct 31, 2007, 12:56 AM // 00:56

You're going to sacrifice all your armor, damage, and attributes so you can remove more conditions?

hotman · Oct 31, 2007, 02:10 AM // 02:10

the sword is:

+5 Energy, 20% Enchant

Jam Jar · Oct 31, 2007, 06:06 AM // 06:06

You, sir, are full of win.

Are there any death magic N/W's?

Omniclasm · Nov 01, 2007, 03:50 AM // 03:50

Hammer Necromancers are totally better than Hammer Warriors. Look at the obvious synergy with [skill]Fetid Ground[/skill] mmmkay?

Yes, although a N/Mo or N/Rt is probably a better choice for Death Magick.

Jam Jar · Nov 02, 2007, 07:19 AM // 07:19

O_O... aren't those like MM builds.

Melee mancers are bad ideas! Don't make me destroy you! I'll do it! You'll see.

..No..

..Just..

..No..

Use one of your 'six mouths' to shut up and never type such garbage again outside the 'creative' writing forums..

I actually feel stupider having read it.
