For hench 1 heal, 1 prot, 1 warrior 1 battery necro

Generally it depends on the place... monks run ZB, WoH, HB, SoD, or RC, necros run SS nuker or Golem Minion Master, elementalists run SH or SF, ritualists run WoQ, fighters don't get used, assassins don't get used, rangers run BA or BHA or SpBa, etc.

Usually I run as a shutdown or spike character; I let the heroes and henchmen handle the general rabble while I take out important enemies such as bosses and healers. Hence I don't do so well in pickup groups since my tactics are geared towards battlefield control and that can't be done with a pickup group.

Lol @ sabway

Anyway, this is a fun build, although by no means optimal. Just something run to run, 4 Rangers :P

Seconded.

Try running it and you'll quickly understand why the SR timer does not need to be removed from the game. A JB bomber or two is sufficient to give an entire party of necros functionally infinite energy no matter what they're running. From there it's just a matter of properly capitalizing on the egregious abusability of soul reaping.

Thirded. My guildies started using it and calling it, its annoying. Better to just call it sab's hero builds lol.

For my heros I use [skill]Savannah Heat[/skill] ele, MM with [skill]Animate Flesh Golem[/skill], and any other, usually another [skill]Sandstorm[/skill]ele or [skill]Song of Restoration[/skill] Paragon

When using my Me, I like to use a 3 Me team using Dom Gwen and Illu Norgu. All 3 of us have tons of spells that drain enemy energy. Then Gwen uses Aneurysm. Between Gwen and I, we have tons of armor ignoring AOE damage. We have enough spells to shut down a caster, while Norgu has enough spells to shut down any physical attacks.

With my N, I like to use a combo of 4 N's. I'm set to mostly spam Necrotic along with Soul Leech for casters and other life sucking damage. Livia with Curse (SS, weakness, Barbs for minions, etc.), Whispers going Blood (with Blood is Power and other life sucking, armor ignoring damage), and Olias as MM. Lots of damage while reducing enemy damage.

My Rt and Xandra combo. I go Channeling and spam spirits (Vampirism, Bloodsong, Agony, and Fury) along with Painful Bond. Xandra goes fully Communing with all spirits.

When using my A, I take Zenmai and Anton along with Tahlkora. Tahlkora keeps up Strength of Honor on 3 A's and another melee hench for tons of damage.

Warrior/All
Power attack, Counter Attack, Furious Attack(dmg only), executioners strike
warriors endurance, endure pain, heal sig, Open slot for any skill i need atm.
Kanaxai's axe (customized) Exhalted Aegis(green)

Whisper Necro/Ele.

Yakslapper (need to update my staff)

Zhed FireEle/
fire attunement, glyph of lesser energy,mark of rodgort,searing flames, glowing gaze,rodgorts invoocation, rebirth, open skill for whatever i need atm.
Exuro's. (but i have weapons for each ele type just incase)

* have not added to my skills in a while, need to start capping and find better builds but this set up has been very good to me. i normally kill anything on NM and so far its been really good on HM. although i tend to take henchies with me. Henchies> Warrior/Healer/Dervish/varies.

**I always allow time after each mob to regain energy, so my heroes never run outa caster juice.

*** My warrior's build allows me to tackle almost anything and always hit with a skill. i very rarely run outa energy.

Dude, just to let you know, that really needs work, it's not all that good.

For what I use though, I run the Triple Necro (or as some people call it, Sabway). Vanquishing while watching TV and eating is fun.

suggestions?

Usually run sab's necros, but a N/Mo WoH as the healer.

And sometimes I spice it up by dropping the SS/MM and adding my Support P/x Hayda and a SH Vekk (I almost REFUSE to use SF)

Me = Warrior with Dslash
Morghan = Command Paragon, probably Cruel Spear
Hayda = Motivation Paragon with Defensive Anthem
Either Kahmu as D/N or Olias as N/Rt

the 3 necro's

all the "Sabway" sooooo got me keen on subway now.

hmm baguettes. :<

ANYWAYS!

either 3 necs, or dual para with a rit, splinter pew pew pew etc.

3 necro's it clears every mission except maybe GoM and you can run whatever you want

for real. the build is condensed jagged bones build from ha/gvg. sab didnt invent it, just condensed it ffs.

i run a jagged wit death nova, shambling, and barbs, rt/e wit offering of blood, dissonance, shelter, mend body and soul, and talhkora wit woh (formerly lod.). i usu switch the rit for a fire ele wit mind blast/rodgart though.

These are mostly the heros I use when I hero/hench:
(I'm a Dslash warrior)

Olias:

[skill]blood of the master[/skill][skill]animate shambling horror[/skill][skill]animate bone horror[/skill][skill]virulence[/skill][skill]enfeeble[/skill][skill]epidemic[/skill][skill]signet of lost souls[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Sousuke:

[skill]mind blast[/skill][skill]rodgort's invocation[/skill][skill]liquid flame[/skill][skill]ward against elements[/skill][skill]ward against melee[/skill][skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill][skill]fire attunement[/skill][skill]death pact signet[/skill]

Razah:

[skill]Splinter weapon[/skill][skill]warmonger's weapon[/skill][skill]ancestors' rage[/skill][skill]wielder's remedy[/skill][skill]mighty was vorizun[/skill][skill]caretaker's charge[/skill][skill]spotless mind[/skill][skill]flesh of my flesh[/skill]

If there's another real player in my party(mostly guild member), I bring these:

Tahlkora:

[skill]light of deliverance[/skill][skill]dwayna's kiss[/skill][skill]cure hex[/skill][skill]shield of absorption[/skill][skill]reversal of fortune[/skill][skill]aegis[/skill][skill]protective spirit[/skill][skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill]

Dunkoro:

[skill]word of healing[/skill][skill]dwayna's kiss[/skill][skill]dismiss condition[/skill][skill]shield of absorption[/skill][skill]reversal of fortune[/skill][skill]aegis[/skill][skill]spirit bond[/skill][skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill]

and razah with the same build as above.

Depends on primary class:

Me as second gen-SSn.
Rt/N Bomber
P/W DPS/lil suport para
W/P AoE hammer
Monk, Monk, Earth ele, Interupter (physical dmg prefered.)

Once adrenaline and minions are up, its rush rush rush and insta wipes of mobs.

Yes, I am setting up Sabway now... I had never "gained olias" but I guess I will for the Sabway build.

Kudos to Sab for sharing the Sab-way build!!

For those who started late in the thread, Sabway is a 3 necro hero build. (For a link to the Sabway build see the post at the top of page 2 of this thread. This thread only describes the Sabway build briefly.)

[Sorry, I realize I've mentioned Sabway a couple times. I didn't mean to make anyone's head explode.]
