Necro/Mesmer build ideas?

[Absolute Destiny]

Okay, this isn't really an urgent question or anything,
but what are some good skill setups for N/Me's?

[Batou of Nine]

the most common build for a N/me is the SS build. Core skills are usually Arcane Echo + Spiteful Spirit, and with factions Reckless Haste.

Or you can be a degen necro spreading around illusion and blood magic degen spells all over, mebe even some blood wells for support.

...etc etc etc. In truth, like most people will tell you, it REALLY depends on what you are using it for. PvP? PvE? Farming?

3 ways to find good N/Me builds:: Look at the sticked post in this necro forum labeled "Necromancer Build Submissions" or browse the whole necro forum. OR, go to guildwiki. There are truely tons of resources on the web for you..

cheers!

There is something more to be said.

1) My character is for PvE only.
2) I don't have Factions.

^in that link^ most of the equipment and some of the skills are from Factions.

Spiteful Spirit
Arcane Echo
Enfeebling Blood
Clumsiness
Drain Enchantment/Sympathetic Visage
Power Drain
Spirit of Failure
Resurrection Signet

[Pick Me]

My N/Me uses the following:

Curse + Domination:

SS (e)
Parasitic Bond
Cry Of Frustration
Power Spike
Shame/Shatter Enchantment
Guilt
Worstel's Worry
Rez Signet

Curse + Blood:

SS (e)
Parasitic Bond
Vampiric Gaze
Blood Renewal
Blood Ritual/Life Siphon
Mark Of Subversion
Strip Enchantment/Suffering
Rez Signet

Blood + Illusion:

Vampiric Gaze
Blood Renewal
Blood Ritual/Life Siphon
Conjure Phantasm
Phantom Pain
Migraine (e)/Ineptitude (e)
Clumsiness
Rez Signet

Death + Illusion:

Rotting Flesh
Phantom Pain
Clumsiness/Putrid Explosion
Fragility
Virulence (e)
Epidemic
Soul Feast
Rez Signet

I'm still experimenting, but these work well. I target my victims carefully, so I don't run into energy problems (that and my equipment make sure I have enough energy to cast and have a little left over). If you look into the Inspiration Magic area, you'll find nice spells that will give you energy.

Hope this helps.

There was this nice degen build I saw:

Life Transfer
Conjure phantasm

and 6 other skills for your liking ^_^

Mix Illusion and Curses (hex spam), Blood and Domination (backfire/soulleech), Illusion and Death (frag spike), Curses and Domination (spites/empathy), Blood and Illusion (heavy degen) and you're basically on the right path.
