I have a lvl15 Warrior/Necro and I am starting to wonder what would be the advantage of W/N in PvP. In PvE, the combination is pretty alright. The Blood Magic is good to keep me alive in PvE... but the more I keep facing W/Mo I see that the health benefits aren't too great. It seems the Necro skills are nice, but some of the better ones require too much casting time for a Warrior or require too much energy.

I've read one build about a Virulence, Plauge Touch W/N... and I'm not sure how that would go playstyle wise... seems to require that you are being hexed or have a negative condition on you.

I've also thought that Spinal Shivers coupled with Flurry and a Cold Dmg weapon might be good as a shutdown build.

Anyway, I'm thinking of changing to a W/Me as their spells seem better than Curses, or perhaps just going W/E for high damage. I like the idea of being a W/N, but I don't feel like it is there.... perhaps I am missing the point. Does anybody have some suggestions for me or build advice?

most warriors in pvp rely heavily on warrior skills and simply use the secondary for 1-2 supplementary skills. because of that, w/n isn't that bad of a combo.

plague touch as a /n gives you the ability to remove conditions, which is one of a warrior's worst enemies. using barbs on a target will help your dps. spinal shivers, as you mentioned, is pretty good as long as you have good energy recovery. there are a lot of combos you could do, so don't give up on w/n yet.

Explore the curse tree, mark of pain is great against mobs, and inisidious parasite carried me through most of the game. Once you get to 20, grab Spiteful Spirit as your elite spell and supplement your health needs with Parasitic Bond. Makes for a great warrior.

I've been personally working with a W/N: blood magic build lately and have come to a solid conclusion on its viability in PvP (at least at lower levels)...

Be sure to take well of blood in with you! Inform your team that you have the skill (and what it does if they're not aware.) Find the enemies weakest target and group spike it to get a corpse... eve a pet will do.

If you have a monk, you're golden. Have him stand pretty much back to back with you in the center of the well... anyone that comes in for him is likely to meet a smackdown pretty quickly if your other teammates stay within the vicinity of the well as well.

Throw in gladiators armor for the energy and choose your targets carefully, time your spell casting and you can pretty much keep your party in a well of blood through the whole match.

It's not the easiest thing in the world to do, but it does work, and it's fun too! =)
