I have been going around and soloing griffons, minotaurs and hydras and its gone very well. Without further adeau here is the build....It doesnt even use healing breeze

Standard 55 health build, 5 superior runes, head piece +1 Death Magic
-50 heath focus
1) Essence Bond
2) Protective Spirit
3) Watchful Spirit
4) Mending
5) Putrid Explosion
6) Mark of Pain
7) Necrotic Transversal
8) Aura of the Lich
My attributes are 12 Death, 14 Curses, 8 Healing, 9 Protection
I begin by buffing myself with skills 1,2,4. At this time I have a permanent health regen of 5. Then I use aura of the lich to cut my health down to 27

From there I use my Protective Spirit and then use Mark of Pain on the nearest enemy. Next I use my sword (yes sword) to begin attacking the enemy I used MoP on. Every time I attack, the mob takes 38 damage (except the one I'm attacking) After 1 dies, then I begin to use Putrid Explosion for 101. And thats the build. Of course apply Protective Spirit and Aura of the Lich when needed but those are the only 2 you need to worry about. If it a little tough to keep your health up, my other build for this necor uses blood magic at lvl 12 and no healing prayers. Also add balthazars spirit and get rid of watchful spirit. It is a little more work to keep your health up but it is definately a better build to with stand more hits. Imagine 10 regen with 27 health after a few life siphons! Enjoy
