Guide
- Changes:
- Ghostly Embrace (PTS):
- Flex Skills
- Rotation
- Elemental Catalyst
Changes:
U43 (PTS):
- Replaced Evil Hunter with Ghostly Embrace (see below why)
- Vemon Skull is back again as main spammable
Ghostly Embrace (PTS):
I know what your thinking. Why Ghostly Embarce? Isn't that a tanking ability? Well as of the current PTS (U43) Ghostly Embrace now does aoe damage per circle! So if you can get an add in at least 2 patches then it will do a lot of damage and will be a good AoE spammable. I also like to make my builds in theme with my class so you can always just replace it with another skill. I just think this ability looks cool and is fun to cast.
*BUT JUST TO BE CLEAR AGAIN THAT IT ONLY DOES DAMAGE ON PTS RIGHT NOW AND NOT LIVE SO WAIT UNTIL PATCH DAY (Aug 19).
Flex Skills
- Detonating Siphon can be morphed into Mystic Siphon if you want more recovery.
- Skeletal Archer can be morphed to Skeletal Arcanist if you want more of an aoe pet.
- Unnerving Boneyard can be morphed to Avid Boneyard if you or your group doesn't need an aoe Major Breach.
- Necrotic Potency can be replace with any skill you need or want to use.
- Glacical Colossus can be replace if there is another necromancer in group using it or if tank is running a major vulnerability set like Turning Tide and/or Archdruid Devyric. Ice Comet is a good replacement for bosses and Elemental Rage is good for trash pulls.
- Ghostly Embrace can be replaced with another skill.
Rotation
First rule for necromancer is to make sure blastbones is always active. It is our hardest hitting ability making it the bread and butter of the necromancer. It's has a 2.5 sec arming period and if your close to your targets a .5 second exploding period. So you should be able to cast 2 skills before recasting blastbones if your fast enough. Also try to make sure you are on your front bar when blastbones pops so get max damage with it. Not a big deal if it goes off on your back bar.
BB = blast bones
Skeleton Archer > Elemental Explosion > BB > Wall of Elements > BB > Boneyard > Siphon > Skull (spammable)
*When a skill drops recast it
*use ults whenever you can
When you have time between blastbones and your DoTs you can use your spammable.
Elemental Catalyst
This set is a match made in heaven for necromancers since they are the only class that naturally has all 3 elementals in our toolkit. Rotation is about the same but with catalyst you want to make sure you have all three elements on the target at all times. So you'll want to make sure your not on your backbar for no more then 3 secs. Spend as much time on your front bar as possible.
You can also make a ranged version of this build just by switching daggers to a Ice staff. Yes the ice staff light attacks counts towards catalyst.
*Only one person should run Elemental Catalyst per group!
