Looking for "your" Canthan MM build.

Yes...I own both games. Its on my canthan necro. Lol...he didnt specify "Factions Skills Only."

Toss out OoB, I never use it...and if you toss that, switch to healing (Area and circle work nice) Or is area not factions...I get confuzed...mainly because it doesnt apply to me.

All you need is 10 things that fight that you keep alive by constantly spamming BotM....thats all a MM is anymore....2 skills and ways to keep yourself alive, be it AotL or healing or only have 55 health and holding mending....doesnt matter...as long as you have the 2 skills you are a successful MM.

N/Any

Death 16
SR 13

Animate Flesh Golem {E}
Animate Bone Fiend / Bone Horrors
BotM
Deathly Swarm
Rotting Flesh
Taste of Death
Death Nova
Rez

I henched with that through most of Factions without problems.

I use same as Lintsi, works well. Ive been used that thru to Boreas Seabed now. No problems to me. Also I use build that is wrote on "MM, why all hate..." that is wrote by Preacher.

-Deathly Swarm (Prevent boredrom from settling in)
-Animate Bone Fiend (They've proven more than useful in Cantha)
-Animate Bone Horror (In case I haven't the full 25 mana, or if I need another pet while Fiends is charging)
-BotM (No explanation required)
-Animate Vampiric Horror (Though I'm still displeased with the 25 Mana cost...) / Tainted Flesh (Spam it on your minions and allies, and it does wonders).
-Healing Breeze (Takes a LOT of the pain of BotM away)
-Rez (Generally a Monk one, like Restore Life)
-Cap Sig (Unless I know nothing is popping in the area I'm in with a Necro / Monk elite) / Death Nova (Admittedly, I do love watching my minions explode)

Obviously, once I FINALLY cap Flesh Golem (I'm playing through the Canthan campaign with a RL buddy who isn't online very often), I'll drop TF/Vamp's for it, but everything else generally stays the same.

Rotting Flesh
Well of Suffering
Blood of the Master
Animate Flesh Golem
Animate Bone Fiend
Healing Breeze/Res Skill
Heal Area
Dwayna's Sorrow/Heal Party

I've been playing with

Rotting Flesh
Deathly Swarm
Animate Vampiric
Animate Fiend
Animate Fleshy
rez
BotM
optional

I just suffer the consequences of having all 25-energy-cost animates, which mainly consists of switching to a +30/-2 weapon set more often than one might think made sense. (There usually are deaths soon enough that my energy gets recharged anyway ...)

Death 16
Healing 10
Rest > Soul Reaping

1/ Animate Flesh Golum {elite}
2/ Animate Bone Fiend
3/ Animate Bone Horror
4/ Rotting Flesh
5/ Dwayna's Sorrow
6/ Healing Breeze
7/ Blood of the Master
8/ Ressurect Chant

20/20 staff / +30hp +5en modifications.

straight forward build, no real explanation required.

Death Magic (12+4)
Soul Reaping (9+1)
Healing Prayers (9)

Animate Bone Fiend
Blood of the Master
Healing Breeze
______ 's Healing Circle (I forget lol)
Deathly Swarm
Animate Flesh Golem (e)
Taste of Death *
Resurrection Chant

*This is a GREAT emergency heal, plus you can kill off your golem and reanimate it if its degen is very bad

I usually run a pure MM:

Animate Flesh Golem {e}
Animate Minion
Animate Fiend
Death Nove
Blood Ritual / Taste of Death (BR for PUGs, ToD for Henchies)
Veratas Sacrifice
Blood of the Master
Rez Sig

16 Death
rest soulreaping

I see most people dropped Verata's Sacrifice and took a more healing/damaging skills in its place.

Since Factions I'm enjoying my mm much more, since you're doing more then just raising and maintaining.
I really like the Rotting Flesh + Well of Suffering combo, wich gives thema -10 degen.

Somewhat similiar to Rebirther this is what i'm using

Animate Flesh golem (e)
Animate Bone Fiend
Death Nova
Taste of Death
Blood of the Master
Karei's Healing Circle
Dwayna's Sorrow
Rez Sig/Rebirth
