Build Problem

I am a lvl 16 sword-wielding W/N and I have been told by multiple people that I should not use Animate Bone Horror my this build. I, personally like it, but I'm no Guild Wars expert, so I thought "Well, if everyone else says it's not good, I guess I should change it." But, I don't know what to put in place of it. Can any of you guys give me some suggestions?

Here's the rest of my skill bar (not in any order) in case you need to know:
1. Sev. Artery
2. Gash
3. Final Thrust
4. Heal Sig
5. Res Sig
6. Plauge Touch
7. Animate Bone Horror
8. For Great Justice

BTW, I am only at Druid's Overlook (First place at Maguuma) so the most recent skill trainer I've come across is the one in LA.
Thanks.

If using Animate Bone Horror works for you, then use it. Just because the "elitist" tells you it's not a good idea, doesn't mean you have to do what they say. Use the skills you like and works for your gaming style. If you find that it no longer works for you, *then* stop using it.

It's only a game. What skills you use is not a matter of life or death (in real life). ... Unless you're doing some weird russian roulette thing with GW ... in which case, I can't help you.

Well unless you're doin fine with it, then do it =).

I personally wouldn't use an animate spell on a warrior since I don't think it's worth the energy. I'd rather use Pure Strike or another five energy attack three times for the same cost, which would probably out-damage the minion. But if it's fun, there's nothing wrong with using it; I've used a lot of less-than-perfect builds just because I enjoyed them.

As a bit of a side note, if you like having a minion along with you, you might look into switching to Warrior/Ranger once you're ascended and getting yourself a pet instead. They require a lot less energy than keeping a minion up, and the damage will be pretty comparable.

Well I was thinkin if these guys say theres something else more effective, I just thought I might try out their idea, that's all.
