Heya,

I'm running with 3 heroes, at the moment.

I have 2 Necros which I use, one of them is a Jagged Bones MM and the other is a SS necro. I don't have access to a 3rd necro right now to truly abuse of soul reaping , so I'm just wondering, what do you think would be my best 3rd choice ?

I play a Ranger btw.

Thanks

This requires a bit of micro of [Offering of Spirit], but if you do that it has nearly as much energy as a N/Rt healer, slightly stronger heals, and can buff your party with [Splinter Weapon] which is pretty much the strongest damage skill in the game.

Use sabway for the SS necro and MM necro like you have. Then for the third restore healer N/Rt, use an Ele instead, with this build:

[build name="Ether Restoration Ele" prof=E/Rt box ene=12+1+1 res=12][Ether Renewal][Aura of Restoration][Weapon of Warding][Mend Body and Soul][Spirit Light][Protective Was Kaolai][Life][Death Pact Signet][/build]

The Ele seems to work better for me anyway. Even though I have access to 3 necro heroes, I am only using 2 and this Ele hero.

Mind blast ele with wards/utility and leave the healing to henchies.

Except I use weapon of warding instead of soothing memories. Blocking is ftw.

Have Razah or Xandra run MM, explosive creation + spawning power=win

I used Razah with a channeling/curses hybrid.

IMO change the SS to an N/Rt healer.

I really wanted something Rt/P and came up with the following:
[build=OAmiEym8wj3x54o5kbYOOTuA]
Seems to work well, I personally equip [blood ritual] and keep Xandra well buffed (as well as other N/X heros and Mo&Me henchmen).

Completed 3 Prophesies HM missions with masters so far, very nice build!!! Some micro'ing required, but not much...

QFT, though a rit MM is not going to be quite as good as a necro MM.

The other possibility is to bring a monk hero with a bar based on skills like [word of healing] and [dwayna's sorrow].

A Ray of Judgement Smiting Monk can be quite useful as the third in areas with conditions and hexes.

A Motivation Paragon also works.

why should you kno? Oo

A/W

[build prof=e/rt box energy=14 resto=12][ether prism][aura of restoration][weapon of warding][protective was kaolai][spirit light][mend body and soul][life][death pact signet][/build]

energy management is almost as good as on n/rt 3 sec of near invincibility is also nice. <3
its actually better than n/rt at dodging annoying nukes from bosses and keeps gaining energy regrdless of things dieing or not so it wont go emo if something goes wrong. :3

I to run this sort of build on 2 necro heros, but I dont have factions and I dont have my last necro. I only own Prof, Nightfall, and EOTN. I am looking for a good 3rd hero build to help.

Besides, you'll probably have a second hero/henchman healer anyway.

The ether prism idea sounds nice though. Looks like it would work nicely with the more efficient ritualist skills.

How well do heroes use [protective spirit] and [spirit bond (pve)]? Answer: Not well. They tend to spam [spirit bond (pve)] without any rhyme or reason, and end up blowing themselves out of energy. They're slightly better at [protective spirit], in that the longer recharge keeps them from blowing out their energy with it, but they're not particularly clever at knowing when it is needed. They just sort of randomly fire it off--every once in a while you notice that the hero cast it on you, but it's never anything you can rely on.

I prefer my heroes to be part-offensive and part-defensive, so that if healing isn't needed, they can all help in killing things, and if healing is needed, they can all help out simultaneously. Can Splinter Weapon with 10 channeling be made to fit on that E/Resto Rit bar?

For anyone who's tried it, does an ele hero spamming [Shield Guardian] work well as a nice AOE heal? You could potentially also move [Dwayna's Sorrow] from the MM to the Ele if you did this, freeing up the secondary on the MM for Splinter Weapon.
