Simply run past the rockshots.

Another question. What is a good second proffesion for a necromancer. I can't choos between the classes. I keep switching and I want to get a solid second proffesion preferably not monk.

All sup runes with the -50 focus for 55 hp

Skills:
Awaken the blood
Spitefull Spirit {E}
Essence Bond
Balthazar's Spirit
Watchful Spirit
Protective Spirit
Mending
Healing Breeze

How this is used:
First put on all 4 enchantments and make sure you have atleast 10 energy left to cast a protective spirit. Gather a big mob of griffons or hydras or minos and activate awaken the blood and put spiteful spirit on one of them. You might have to move around a little bit to make sure everyone is getting hit by spiteful spirit. As soon as spiteful recharges cast it on another guy. The whole group should be dead by the time spiteful is recharged again which is around 20-30 seconds. Use healing breeze on yourself if the mob you gathered is too big and you are losing hp faster than you can recharge.

Awaken the blood can be swapped out for something else since spiteful kills fast enough at level 16 but I like to bring it to make things drop faster.

Enjoy!

pls dont nerf i tried this today... im not sure how its done?? i keep on dying on jzt 3 minotaurs?! can you pls tell me what im doing wrong lolz oh will this work even if my hp is not 55??

Your health has to be at 55 for it to work properly. 105 would probably work too but you'd have to keep healing breeze on yourself most of the time.

Generally less health is better so try to pick up a -50 or -20 focus item.

my monk runs the 55 build and i was thinking about changing my n//e (which i believe to be quite useless) to a n/mo minion master to maybe do some small SF runs with a couple guildies
looks like n/mo will totaly smoke the n/e i have now.

i have always liked minions more than fiends

Tch, minions are the awesome in pve for three reasons:
Two batteries for the price of one!
Two nova bombs for the price of one!
Double bonus from Barbs FTW!

I did go N/R on my necro for a little bit for the mega-fiend army + Fav Wind, and that was fun.

That was... a bit oblivious,

Necro/Mesmers have Soul Reaping, the premier skill that benefits almost no one, except Minion Masters.

Mesmer Primaries will be able to fast cast, which is decidedly more useful than Soul Reaping, which will not help shut down at all; it will only help you once the enemies are dead.

Btw, can anyone post an AoTL farming build? Cause I really can't afford using skill points to experiment on my necro.

Will someone please help me out here understanding something. Ive been thinking about making a minion master because im not really liking and of the classes i try also i think they would be really fun to play as. But... in the guide it says you have to get to forge one of the hardest places in the game to get bone fiend and bone minions the best minion skills so that just kinda shot my dreams of being a minion master!! Someone please help me out here thx for reading

Aight im gonna have to disagree with most of the minion master stuff posted here. But people work better with different things. As long as you don't burn out your energy, at least minion skill (I think fiends are the best, over 2x more dmg than minions, and minions just get in the way all the time), veratas sacrafice, and res/res signet, you're build should be fine.

If you don't want to/can't afford to/can't find a runner to the Forge, you can get Fiends easily by capping the skill from the boss you have to kill for the Balancing the Skales quest out of the Ascalon Settlement (make sure to get the free cap sig from LA first).

Settlement, not City; Captain Greywind gives you the quest.

Lord Timot uses Bone Minions or Bone Fiends. Use an SoC on him; quest is Reversing the Scales from Greywind.

And, uh... Echo/Arcane Echo works marvelously on Vereta's Sacrifice. Should you be turned off by the tediously hard minion maintenance that is a part of most builds.
