Keep Protective spirit always on you!
Then you can cast Spiteful Spirit on a hydra so they lose health and slowly die. Try to fight groups of 3, they are easiest to win because they don't do more damage then your enchantments regenerate. If you got 4 or more hydra's on you, you can cast healing breeze to keep your health high, don't use healing breeze on groups of 3 or less, it's a waste of energy.
In your build you must have protection prayers on 12 (highest)
healing prayers on 8 so you have mending on +3.
and the rest on curses for SS.
Just try to have always protective spirit on you and keep an eye on your mana/health bar. And try to cast Spiteful Spirit when you can. And watch out for Meteor. Watchful Spirit is a waste of skill and energy pip, swap it for Balthazar's Spirit for extra energy.

I almost cleared that cave with all the trolls. Came across a boss and they blocked my reappling of Protective Spirit and it was all over. Anyone else have any good places to practice? Im gearing up for the UW. Not near ready for that yet though.
Cygnus_Zero
Also, Insidious Parasite is a little rough on the energy cost. It costs 15. I almost just want to stick with Vigorous Spirit. I know I know get half the heal, but it costs 5 evergy. I can afford to keep it running all the time. Anyone think this is a bad idea?

Use the edit button if you forgot to add something.
Try Elona's Reach with only Vigorous Spirit.

You mean the mission? I farmed around it with only using Healing Breeze and Vigorous Spirit.

In mission.

Well I just found out that this build does not work at all against Charr Blade Storms. They kill you in one hit.

No, the build works against charr. I solo the beginning of Nolani Academy with my 55 necro once in a while to pick up charr hides. I've never had any problems. I've used the dark bomber build as well, no problems there either. You must be doing something wrong.

How can anyone 1 hit you with Protective Spirit?
Does this prevent you from being one shotted (which is what I thought the whole point of the build was).
Ill post mine. Still pretty new to it but I think its pretty good at all same Probably pretty standard to be honest.
Protective Spirit
Healing Breeze
Balthazar's Spirit
Spiteful Spirit {E}
Insidious Parasite
Guardian (thinking of swapping this. Any suggestions on what could be better)
Essence Bond
Mending
Necromancer
Soul Reaping: 10 - Superior (+3)
Blood Magic: 3 - Superior (+3)
Curses: 16 - Superior (+3)
Death Magic: 3 - Superior (+3)
Monk
Healing Prayers: 8
Protection Prayers: 8
Smiting Prayers: 0
I have high soul reaping to get all my energy back when the mobs die. 8/8 for the Monk seems to be enough. 15 seconds GS is fine for me. The rest don't have a time limit so works good.
Comments welcome of course.

I'm having trouble imagining a build that works against mountain trolls and avicara, but not against charr ...
Cygnus_Zero
Well here is what happened. There were 4 charr. 3 of them immediately hit me with Shatter Enchanment, stripping me of Healing Breeze and Protective Spirit and Vigorous Spirit. Then the 4th just bashed on me and it was all over. I played them the same way I did trolls and everything else and they were not having it. I tried it 3 times with the same result every time. I was trying to get into Dragons Gullet where I found this nasty group.

Hmmm.. interesting.
I would say you had bad luck but if you did it three times with the same result thats not too good.
I cannot really comment much on this because frankly I never tried. I will this weekend though and post to see if I had the same issues. Just seems so strange that Charr would give problems and Trolls are a walk in the park.
I have a question I meant to ask before... what is your weapon set?? And about how much energy do you have? You mentioned you didn't like Parasite because it was 15E. So curious how much Energy you are packin.

I use a regular sword with a 20% enchant mod. My Energy I think is 36.

First tried to fight 3 jade scarabs. Dead in about 4 seconds. Degen just destroyed me. Tried to fight a rockshot devourer. I dont even think I did any damage to him. Fought a windborn waker outside LA and got half his health down, then he got angry and turned up the heat. Finished me off pretty quickly.
I had more fun getting everything I needed than actually doing it. Well I figured i'd vent a little. ok 1st of all, ur killing things u cant kill with 55, try meele monsters...
oh and there is no build u can solo anywere with, try going to augury and kill hydras out side, and ur probly not using Prot Spirit and thts why u die

did you even read the descriptions of the spells that monsters cast on you? these spells and your attacking are the reason why you got no energy.
i got a simple solution for you: you're a newb and shouldn't try 55 builds. learn the game before you do.

Ive got hydras down, i can kill mobs of 8 or more easily, however I go to port sledge I can keep all my enchants up but I get slaughtered? Had a buddy tell me I needed SoJ to knock em down give HB a second to catch up. right now its a +6 regen, mind telling me ur build or what im doing wrong?
Trylo
ok if you havent quite gotten it down by now, im here to help!!!
a) i know what im doing and have been doing protective bond (now spirit as they nerfed that) for a good while. how i miss prot bond... o well.
b) made a 55 necro just for farming!
c) i have taken on 8 or 9 hydras at once and lived through it, easily too...
ok so now, lets get to the actual farming part. if you really need some help bring watchful spirit which gives +2 regen, but i personally like the energy regen however slow it is.
So when fighting make sure you have ur basic -1 enchants on (mending, balthy, esense, maybe watchful = easier for beginning at it) then go out and find at least 2 hydras. that makes it much easier as you wont have to run away for 3 mins to get energy back for prot spirit. make sure you have at least 20 energy before taking on 3+ hydra, 15 or so will do for 2. now is when i like to use spiteful spirit as by the time theyre close to you and used meteor you will have SS back again. Cast on the other hydra or the one where you thnik the opponent will take more dmg (ie middle). Now if facing 4+ hydra make sure you have around 35 energy for a SS and HB + PS. whenever those come back recast them so u will always have them up and u wont be scamblign to get them up and running 2 secs b4 they wear off. you should be able to get around 11 energy every 4 secs, be sure to save some energy for whenever SS comes back. this shouldnt take more than 50 secs or so and u can kill around 10 before you take too much damage to sustain. i like to use insidous parasite in these instances as its a quick cast and heals you whenever a hydra hits ya.
hope ive helped.

Pay more attention to your necromancer skills. Especially in the curse attribute.

I have no problems 55 farming. It's easier than I thought when I 1st started doing it. But when you have 4 enemies, and 3 of them hit you with shatter enchant immediately, you will not survive. That's what I was talking about when I mentioned those charr that were owning me.
Recently I fought some of those titans in kryta and was completely wrecked by them. So some enemies are just extremely difficult to solo. I know that now. I was trying to solo every enemy I came across and it seems the 55 solo build it a bit more limited than I originally though.
By the way nomed, the only people that call others noobs are noobs themselves. I'm no noob when it comes to this game. Ive been playing since right after it came out.

Kryta Titans are easy as hell. It's called "moving around" when Maelstorm lands.

Guys ever try reading the skill descriptions that your enemies are using against you?
It may help you in your solo adventures
Cygnus_Zero
Well murder, if you wouldnt mind, I would love for you to let me spectate you fighting those titans. I'll even give you a tip. A couple k or so.

Dude, you had your status on "Offline" when you Whispered me in game. So unless you really don't want me to show you how I solo the Titans then change your status to "Online".
Cygnus_Zero
Woops. Sorry about that. Next time.
OMFGimCUTE
i want to know how to solo titans too can i come too?
can i come too?
Cygnus_Zero
I watched him last night. He was doing the normal solo build, but the thing I wasnt doing is make sure you take out Water Titans 1st, then when you see a blue crystal appear in front of them, move to avoid Maelstrom. Aside from that it looks pretty easy. I was practicing a little last night and was having some success but I need to switch my sword for a wand so I can see a little better. When im up so close with a sword, I can hardly tell whats going on with Maelstrom.
Murder, what Truncheon/Wand were you using? I know of the truncheon outside dunes of despair, but it seems to me like Villnars Claw would actually be better. I think the faster casting is more important than recharge just because it would help more with interrupts. It also has an energy bonus while hexed, but I doubt that would help at all since we are not really hexed much right?

Maelstorm interrupts spells with any casting speed of 1/2 seconds and above.
I use the Fire Wand (+5 energy always) from the collector just outside of Nolani Academy, cost only 3 Charr Carvings.
Villnar's Claw would help I guess because you'll be hexed with Grasping Earth from the Earth Borns and Shardstorm and Frozen Burst from the Water Borns.

Did you customize the wand just to get any damage help from it or does that not matter at all?
That's funny that's the wand you are using. I was just looking at that this morning when I 1st heard about it. I also discovered it's really easy to solo out there too. I even let PS go down a few times and still survived. And I really had no need for HB at all. They couldn't kill me when I had PS running. Although there is no use in soloing around there considering the garbage drops.

If that works... then the boss can spawn at any of those locations to give you SB. The bosses name is "Raptorhawk" and its out of the North-Northwest exit of Rankor.
