Dd, use Yellow Gremlin's feat planner - it's more up-to-date

[DDanger]

OK, done.....

[Alb]

Looks like a good build Dd .

The following is what I use at the moment.

Karashem's Build ... at present

I am Quite happy about it, but I might move a few points around from feats I don't use or where I don't see the benefit at the moment

If you wanna change some feats i suggest to look at reanimation / decomposition....

[Alb]

Was thinking about that Dd. At present there are two feats that I don't have any or few points in it where I would consider putting points in.

One is the the feat you suggested and the other would be filling up 'corrupted soul', which has less overall damage effect on Worms but also influences Lifestrike which (at present) I use quite regular as well beside Worms

[DDanger]

Curious!!
I saw at the raid from 2009-06-01 4 mark of devourers on hostile mobs at Yak.....
Does you guys taken my build? If so, what do you think about it and can we improve this build

[Alb]

Wasn't me ... I haven't specced into Mark of Devour and I was partially on Yak (side of him) and from there I couldn't get a debuff I usually use to show on him ... probably I was considered to be out of ranger for the spell

[Lyss]

I'm going for this raid dps build with my necro. I tend to spellweave a lot so definitely gonna need the -hate

[Gert]

Semi-pet levelling build

Not focussed on a raid build as got other chars for that This is a decent solo leveller build -esp once you hit 50 and get Lifestealers.

This build normally has 4 lifestealers up and DtS at 4 for a balance dps/heal setup; pets are used for Death Eater, Frenzy and Sacrifice. Normally open with Ice Strike to place the debuff on the mobs then Soul Frost if close enough; then just rotate through the ice attacks with the occasional Lifestrike until at around 15% when I start Decay...normally once that fires off the DotS and pets have the mob under 10% and this finishes them off with a small heal to me.

Can take around 6-7 mobs solo and with each mob death my dps goes up so gets easier to kill things...

Not really grouped much with this build - have put the necro to one side anyway at the moment...

Does the mind phase hasn't a cool down....!

[Lyss]

Mind Phase is not a clickable skill, it just adds a permanent -5% hate in the same way -%hate gear does. Misdirection is the clickable skill that reduces hate and has a cooldown of 6 minutes.

[DDanger]

True...

[Aboli]

i know im being thick but what is spellweaving.... do u activate it or what???

[Gert]

Spellweaving - ToS, PoM, Demo and Necros get this at 50. There's a slightly-outdated guide here - basically, it's a skill that when you enter it drains stamina and provides some nice buffs but also some debuffs which could kill if not balanced right.

[Alb]

Gert was faster ...

Mages/priests (except HoX and Bear Sharman) get the ability to spell-weave (SW) at lvl 50.

What it basically does it the following:
- Spellweaving has 6 stages: each stage gives you a bonus to your spells
- at each stage you can select secondary temporay bonus that give you a short boost to spells (e.g. increase crit change) or short stamina regeneration boost.
- it looks nice

- it will cost you as well:
-- Stamina goes down, if you don't have any stamina left you health goes down ... yes you can kill yourself with spellweaving if you don't pay attention
-- at each spellweaving stage you get a chance to get a de-buff on you of varying strength and type (e.g. mana lose over time)
-- Mana cost increase (at least with some of the temporary bonus spells
-- you are immobile during spellweaving itself and can't active (you can before you start spellweaving) potions etc.

So you increase your 'lethality' but it makes you more 'vulnerability' as well

[Aboli]

wow very fast thanks both.... i saw it alot and didnt have a clue if i was missing something! but not there yet

[Gert]

Going to play with some pet builds; finding the dps necro build I have is too close to the demo and not that interesting running 2 classes that do very similar things

[DDanger]

Playing a reanimmation necro is fun too and rocks in PvP as well...

[Alb]

reanimation necros can be annoying for anyone else :p

[Aboli]

so i hit 50!! and have spellweave, but i dont seem to be using it right i dont think. Or at least not to its full effect and 9 times out of 10 i die

am i just carp or is there some pointers any of u have??

[Gert]

Don't use it all the time - on bosses it's good and probably won't want to go above 2-3 ranks at your level yet...also, use stamina food for the buff and pots before going into SW.

[Gert]

Narccy's build - with 0 Epics, managed to attain 3rd dps slot on a W1 run Topp'ed dps on Smurf - he really doesn't like piercing damage
