If possible could you also post a good secondary to go with my necro?

im convinced i have one hell of a cursing build going for me because after i cast the first few hexes in PVP everyone stops trying to kill the monk and goes straight for me. i use it in PVP but it was created for PVE, and by switching out a few skills it becomes pvp! anywho, i made he build for the FoW and UW and almost everytime i go someone in the group says "glad we brought a necro"
cursing isnt easy though, you have to give up yor ability to do damage and the worst part is that you never get to see the little numbers that say how much damage you do! i wanna know how badly im hurting them!!
anywho, i dont mean to sound like an assaholic, but i out of all the PVP ive done ive never lost to another necro (or to a warrior for that matter, its always degen that gets me) i would like to keep it that way, but i can give you some advice.
1. dont focus on dealing up front damage, cursing is all about making others look good and screwing up the enemy.
2. if you want cursing to work, you have to dedicate yourself to it. so in order to make those enemies take up to 80 damage every time they attack for 21 seconds, you wont be using a secondary skill.
3. elite skill: cursing has the best elites, and i know what your thinking "no way! blood has way better elites!!" problem is that you cant spam the blood elites like you can cursing elites.
4. your elite skill makes your build. this means that the elite you choose will be the center of your build, most of your other skills should help it. for example, if you use feast of corruption then many of your skills should be AoE curses like suffering and enfeebling blood. my chosen elite is spiteful spirit (i think its the best elite in the game, mesmers have some nice ones too)
the thing about cursing is that its all behind the scenes. if you want proof, go to the fissure with a random group and see if they know what spiteful spirit does. about 75% of the groups im with dont have the slightest clue what it does, all they know is that it hurts if you attack.
ive even seen the forgemaster die because the ele next to him had spiteful spirit on them.
just remember that a cursing necro is alot like a mesmer, and some people have said its harder.
