I pretty much stay alive for a long time because of demonic flesh and blood renewal, and use knockdown hammer attacks to interrupt ressurects and knockdown monks to prevent them from healing

[Mercenary]

if you are going for a tank then i would sudgest war/mo because healing breeze owns those necro sacrifice skills. altho if u are keen on the necro then i would get rid of one of the sacrifice skills or plague touch and add in another "stoner bashing" skill.

not alwyas, the monks can cast helaing breeze on him if he gives them a shout and demonic flesh and plague touch can le thim get stacked up on hexes and conditions. im not saying w/mo wouldnt work as a tank cuz the right skills could be very succesful also but as long as you know you ahve good healers it shouldnt be a problem

[Mattinator]

ya, im assuming that im going to have good monks... and plague touch is one of my most used skills... when im attking monks the henchies or sumtimes their warriors will put conditions on me and i can just transfer them all over to their monk

[Mercenary]

well i trust u know your build best. but im just saying that i know i am not the kind of person that feels like running around touching people to give them STDs (conditions) lol.

Also i agree its all about what situation your in. Altho i just figure that war/mo is better in most situations.

[Spux]

Buil dis great except that if i were you i would put heavy blow into taht build in order to inflict Deep Wounds.

@Merc Matts build is very effective at staying alive as long as he has a monk taht can heal him when he casts blood renewal and demonic flesh. Also, Plague touch is an amazing skill that is situational but he probably runs into that situation a lot.

[Mattinator]

ugggh heavy blow doesn't inflict deep wounds, "heavy Blow- Lose all adrenaline. If this attack hits a foe suffereing from weakness that foe is knocked down and u strike for +24 (with my attribute points) dmg"

dunno if u're think of another skill or if u just got confused... but anyway, yes i use plague touch A LOT, and its rely useful when im attacking monks... wat i actually try to do is i get those footman to attack me so that they put conditions on me so that i give them straight to the enemy monk :lol: once i get a couple of conditions onto a monk and i start knocking him down and get weakness on him with devasttating hammer u should see his hp bar drop :D

[Spux]

I personally think this build is much better.

[Mercenary]

they are both good...ish. Although i dont really see the advantage of necro over monk.

[Litebringer]

plague touch and dmeonic flesh.... what isnt good about that?

[Mattinator]

demonic flesh and plague touch help me out, and plague touch devestates enemy monks... and im expecting that there's going to be a monk to heal me, what's not to understand? Besides any good guild wouldn't be attacking warriors first anyway...

[Spux]

Thats what you gotta worry about then, the bad guilds :D
