Necromancer Basics

1. The Necomancers are tricky and are able to hit surrounding targets with effects by placing Wells in their environment. In smaller areas, they can use Marks to trigger effects.
2. Remember how Mesmers can summon clones and phantasms? Well, the Necromancers get to raise the dead and use these minions for attacking and defending purposes.
3. Necromancers can trigger even more powerful effects by destroying one of the minions that they’ve raised.
4. The Necromancer is a good all around class. In close proximity, they are very fluid with Melee weapons and can deal hefty damage. They are also able to cast spells from far away.
5. The Necromancer is able to multiple different status effects on their enemies. They fire off their attacks quickly and are hard to defend 1 on 1.
6. The Necromancer comes with a default healing ability. You can summon a Blood Fiend to leech the health of your enemies and feed it to you. You can then destroy the Blood Fiend in exchange for more health boost.
7. Necromancers can absorb life force which allows you to use her Death Shroud ability. Death Shroud gives you more powerful spells and the ability to summon stronger/more unique minions.
