Well, my little Nec (Delilah Evenstar) needs a new family. She is 16 years old and she enjoys raising the dead, playing with blood and the the occassional cursing of those that irritate her. However, she is extrememly friendly (if you're on her good side) and very impressionable. I prefer that her adoptees teach her their profession so that she will have a way to make a living. And for goodness sake, teach her how to use make-up.

Short version: I need a secondary profession for my Nec. I'm looking at doing the Minion Master thing, but the PvP build for it has the secondary as Mesmer. That doesn't make sense to me because it wouldn't offer a way to heal the minions. Share your various thoughts on Nec, please, if you don't mind.
 
I have a N/Me (Loew). I tried the minion master thing briefly, but didn't have much success. Minions died to fast for lack of effective healing and a Alesia refused to heal them for me :). Didn't put much effort into it though and I didn't have Verata's Sacrifice yet either. There might be other minion heals that I hadn't noticed too.

Wouldn't think minion master would be all that effective in PvP either because Putrid Explosion can use up corpses faster than any Animate skills.

Mesmer as secondary might offer something through inspiration line to counteract Necro sacrifices to heal minions. I would think the simplest and easiest might be Monk and Heal Area. Get them all bunched together and heal area to keep them alive, or heal yourself directly after doing a Necro sacrifice heal. I've also heard of using ranger, but I am not sure of the strategy for how that would be effective.
 
I have a Necro and I'm also not sure how to proceed. I don't really want to do Monk - it seems too obvious, even though it's a great combo. Someone else suggested an Elementalist as a secondary: Build minions, replenish health and energy from fallen corpses, and use that to throw fireballs.
 
I've got a N/Mo, Quantumm Man. Sometimes you can't rely on your team monk, so having healing breeze handy is VERY good, and you can also have the rez spell instead of signet. I am able to do give an enemy up to 9 pips of health degeneration for 12 seconds at a time, and slow down their attack rate by 50% for 29 seconds at the same time, blood, curse and soul reaping are your new friends padawan. :D
