User:NieA7/Siva Kazna

Siva Kazna is a Tyrian born level 20 Necromancer. She has completed all the missions up to Hell's Precipice in Tyria, and all the missions up to Gyala Hatchery in Cantha.

She started as a Necromancer/Ranger, using a pet as well as minions, but has since changed to mainly being either a secondary Mesmer or a secondary Monk.

Minion Master
I don't see the point of a minion master taking non-minion related skills out into the wild - just concentrate on your little army and leave the rest to everybody else, no matter how much fun rotting flesh is.

Spiteful Shivers
Bog standard SS build, gets the job done.

Dessicator
A really mean build in PvP, seems to work well in random arena battles. Especially brutal against warriors - nothing quite like seeing one run away to wait for the hexes to end, only to die just before they run out.

Fort Aspenwood Build
Variation on the Dessicator idea. Pump up Curses, Soul Reaping and Illusion magic, then rely on enemy Warriors, Rangers and Assassins concentrating on their own skills rather than what hexes are being cast on them (which they do almost invariably). It's brutally effective even though it looks like an utter mess of a build - use Ethereal Burden as a snare, Clumsiness and Ineptitude gives a 200 damage spike, Price of Failure piles on the misery when they're blinded. The other skills give you brutal degen, especially when the deep wound kicks in. Faintheartedness doesn't really stack well with Price of Failure - of the two I'd rather lose PoF but I can't really think of a good replacement. Soul Barbs might be worth a go.

Orders Build
Just started using this in the Tomb ruins, it's basically a crib of the build in the old B/P Tombs guide. I think it's pretty much there but it could stand some tweaking, I'll experiment a little over the next few runs.

Theoretical Bomber-Style Build
Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks like it should work to me. Use a 20/20 Death focus and a +15/-1 Death wand, 16 Death Magic and 13 Soul Reaping. Lots of area effect stuff, along with Bitter Chill to work on the first target. Hit 'em with that plus Deathly Swarm, whack on Icy Veins and watch the area pain. Animate a couple of Bone Minions and slap Death Nova on them to double your fun. Putrid Explosion might work nicely too, if it's better than Minions it'd save another skill slot for something else, maybe Well of Suffering or Taste of Pain. That'd make energy management harder though.
