Ranger/Necromancer

[Natasha]

So I was doing a few of the quests in pre-seared Ascalon with my ranger. I was on a necro quest and when I finished the quest, I accidently clicked yes! Now my ranger is R/N. :shock:

[Litebringer]

uh oh :o you should either restart of you can change it once ur lvl 20

[Exiled Child]

I made a R/N on porpus, not that bad, actually.

If you really don't want to play Necromancer secondary I would just remake, it takes a good, hard few days of playing to switch your secondary

Is there something wrong with being a Ranger/Necromancer? I just made that build today, i thought it would be cool. Is it a bad build or something?

[Spux]

The necro secondary just may not complement the way that natasha plays. This does not mean that it is a bad combo of professions because there is no such thing as a bad combo.

I've been thinking of making my character a Ranger/Necro also.

I want to play mostly with parties and I'm thinking most parties would already have a monk for healing and whatnot so a ranger/necro or ranger/Elementalist or Ranger/mesmar might be useful.

I think the most beneficial for a ranger would be a second profession that works far away since rangers aren't always the first ones in on a fight and can deal damage to foes from afar. I'm not sure if is best for this, but maybe it is.

Maybe someone else can shed some more light on this topic as I'd like to know from other professions what they think would be the most useful secondary profession for a ranger to have as a part of their party. ;)

Ranger/Necro isn't to awful... You got some good drains and ability to heal yourself with corpses which you should be able to produce a good amount of... But it really boils down to your playstyle... My secondary char is a Marksman ranger/Illusion Mesmer and it kicks a lot of butt... But yeah enough about me... If you don;t like the playstyle of it then switch... Thats all I can really suggest.........

[Nespith]

I think it would be cool to be able to throw firse storms using an elementist as your secondary or conjuring a phantasm using a mesmar as your secondary; if either of those two actually work in practice. ;)

necro would work nice for a ranger and there are quite a few long range life stealing spells. its a good way to heal yourself and damage your opponent. there are also tons of long range necro curse spells. the only thing with haveing a caster secondary is what type of bow you plan on using for your ranger. if you plan on using a long bow and shooting from very far you will have to run a little closer in order to cast on your enemy.

ele is a good secondary. the only problem is that your bow takes up both your hands and can have no energy mods, so you have less energy which is not so good for an ele. you could invest in a zealous bow and use skills that increase arrow speed and use dual shot to gain energy back faster.

It's not that it's a bad combo, but maybe she already had a set build in mind htat she wanted to make :roll:

note that this was also 2 months old

[neversummer84]

:lol: so it is

[Nespith]

It doesn't matter how old the thread is, its still relevant.

Boy, nobody thought about MoP? Mark of Pain is one of the sickest PvE skills in the game and if you catch ppl sleeping it is sick in PvP also!

Shadow of Fear rocks also!

There are a couple Necro skills that are slassified as "skills or attacks" forget which, but thier energy cost is lowered by Expertise!!!
