My Solomancer: N/W

I put this together tonight, and have tested it on the following:

Sand Drakes - 4 or 5 at a time
Minos - 3 or 4 at a time
Trolls - 3 or 4 at a time
Tundra Giants - 3 or 4 at a time
Jade Armors - 2 at a time
Hydras - 2 or 3 at a time

The build is not as fast as other well-known builds, but its a helluva fun build to play.

start out by casting AotL, follow it up with Blood Renewal. Then put 1 or 2 Siphons out (only 1 will give you a total of +9 health regen). Keep these 2 enchants and 1 hex up as frequently as you can. Use Unholy Feast for extra damage/health when needed/charged. If you need another boost of health, let Blood Renewal run out or AotL run out; both give you quite a big health boost when they expire. Spam the ripostes as often as possible, and use bonnettis when low on energy or to block while you recast AotL or Siphon.

For gear, i use a -2 dmg while enchanted shield with 20% shorter bleeding. I would also recommend a pommel of enchanting for your sword.

Couple of notes:

I tested Dark Aura and Demonic Flesh with this build, but it became a pain to keep 3 different enchants up all the time, but you can test them however you like.

Good luck with the build! It took me a few tries to get the timing down, but its a very fun alternative to the common solo builds....yes, I know it doesnt do great vs casters.

This build is still a work in progress, and I'll update this thread as I make changes.

Nice to see that someone is using meleemancers, good job. I gotta try it later when i got some skill points.

This could be fun when you get bored of using 55 to do everything. Definately gonna try it out!

Lol too funny this is great work I picked off grawl with my first necro as a necro/warrior back in the day.

Aol = such a good build move lol, i use it on 27 necro and blood saccer, btw if ne one wants ne info on these builds add me to friends and when im on id be happy to explain it ~~ IGN:: Soul Bandit (but if ur not adding, im on Him or my mesmer Zindread Deathshade most.. well realy mesmer most, but now ive beaten factions on him and im working on necro soo.. its like even amount of play)

it would be nice if u wrote a list of the used skills....

Solo builds that aren't main stream = awesome

I actually don't end up needing Bonetti's very much for some reason. Honestly, I can almost do without Blood Renewal too, but it's a nice safety net. Might just be because I got nothing else to do with my adrenaline than spam ripostes. It's a good basic build though. I got a feeling I could tweak it some more still.

Another interesting N/W twist is ripostes in combination with Price of Failure. N/A can do interesting things with that concept as well.

HAIL to the ever so under rated n/w.

so with this build what runes do you use? do you want to lower your health by some to get lesser damage?

Thread necromancy FTW. This is over a year old.

I noted that as well.

Neat looking.

hmm im thinking of making a n/w now

i use the following necro war/build and so far its the best ive ever seen or played as and so far is undefeated 1 on 1. i also used it a great deal to get my gladiator ranks.

rune up your health with runes till over 620-630 hp make sure your energy is at least at 55 and take the following skills

vampiric gaze
vampiric bite
blood of agressor if you have nightfall ( barbed signet if you only have prophecies though blood of agressor has a faster recharge time and cast time)
soul leech
riposte
deadly riposte
heal signet
res (if ur not going for glad tittle take rend enchants if ur messing around)

invest 14 into blood 12 in tactics and 3 remaining points in soul reaping for bonus energy (dont invest anything in swordsmanship, it does near to nothing damage to high armor anyways and it ends up beeing a waste of attribute points), take shadestone and +5 energy +30 hp sword (you dont have to custumize the sword)

so its a pvp build and it exploits how necros are targeted by meelee assuming your armor is low and your an easy kill (which is like always the case making it really effective). basically when a meelee goes for you spam vamp gaze, when hes on you use vamp touch, and blood agressor if low on energy. if you need to heal raise one riposte then heal signet once he triggers riposte raise the other one making you invulnerable to -40 penalty usually associated with using heal signet by blocking attacks during this period. invariably you will kill the meelee in a matter of seconds with no need of using elite (though useful against dervishes who rely on huge amounts of enchants). the hard part of learning this build is if your beeing attacked by two meelees timing the ripostes to be triggered by one of your attackers, once you master this you can kill both of them or at least take one with you but it takes a while to master. soul leech is your edge against casters and combined with blood skills makes you really effective as everything you do winds up healing you or at least as in the case of your elite ( halfving the damage out put of the caster ). you can solo with a high succes rate an ele and meelee simultaniously by casting soul leech on caster, then focusing all your blood skills with ripostes on meelee. when facing a caster and meelee alone try to take out meelee first simply because you can do this faster. overall its an excellent build in the sense that like many cases in pvp you will be the last guy standing against 1 other person in pvp and invariably you will win these encounters saving your teams wining streak (if ur going for glad tittles) or simply for faction.

thats the basic strategy just be aware of things like on top of casting soul leech and blood skills on a dervish that isnt attacking you you can follow him and have him trigger ripostes anyways for all his attacks swing at everyone. also since soul leech is your only hex try casting it on your target after a team mates casted his making it less likely to be removed. also be aware vamp bite is skill not spell so you can use it when they cast back fire and similar versions of it on you withought a penalty. it also helps to time ripostes with blood skills to do obcene amounts of damage at once.

this one is awesome for pvp

rofl @ populationcontrol the riposte necro.

I will never get tired of the original thread. Legendary fail. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ferrerid=92302

actually it was a success. i let everyone challenge my build having my skills and freedom to choose theirs and defeated them, twice. that means you failed nooblet.

build i posted is fun for sandrakes, least in normal mode.
