I just feel compelled to pop in and say that Spiteful Spirit is bad in both PvE and PvP. This can be summed up with three reasons: 1) SS is unfocused. 2) There are simply faster and more effective ways to kill shit, especially in PvE. 3) It's elite. Entropy (C) 07:41, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) In PvP, they're not all attacking your tank like PvE enemies do, meaning they're kicking your ass while you're just giving them minor discouragement. Like Empathy used to be before it's gigantobuff --Gimmethegepgun 07:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Like Corrupt Enchantment is better for PvE purposes >.>""
 * What else would you take, really? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Corrupt is purely a PvP skill, since none of the "special" bosses use enchants anyway.
 * If I insist on taking an elite on a Curses necro (it really isn't necessary), it would be Lingering Curse for AoE cover hex to Shadow of Fear/Meekness, plus the other benefits. If I was doing something special like taking Chilblains (it's useful some places!!!!), I'd take Reaper's Mark for bonus enarjee. Otherwise I'd go N/Mo and take Empathic Removal or Signet of Removal...sometimes you can get away with Martyr and Plague Sending. N/Me with Expel is okay too.
 * The thing with Curses necros is that I almost always use them for passive debuffs. If you pair Curses with an MM or such, then things like Mark of Pain and Barbs become useful, and that becomes Sabway-ish. But all I really ever need from Curses is condition recycling via FF + Plague Sending, Weakness from Enfeebling Blood, and physical debuff through Meekness etc. Weaken Armor can also be useful in some team setups. So in general I don't even need an elite on a Curses bar. At worst it might be Plague Signet over Sending, but that has its own drawbacks.
 * I used to use SS a lot, but when I stopped trying to use Curses for killing stuff it just made for a better party. Heroes especially can't capitalize on SS at all. The only places I use it are special missions like Shiro tbh (since you really don't want him hitting you in the first place, thus Insidious becomes ehhh). Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 04:37, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The build linked above doesn't need any hexes covered, so Lingering is meh, tops. Cheap, though, and gives a reduction in healing power. But who needs that in PvE.
 * Chilblains is not an elite; See, AFK, not having an elite is fine :P CB is a nice skill, I'll give you that. You need a shitton of energy or a really cheap bar to use it often enough, though, which is a pity. AFK's bar doesn't have any energy to spare.
 * Whee, Reaper's Mark. You'd probably be better off with SoLS (the current bar doesn't have SoLS yet, so); Much shorter cast, 7 recharge less, equal energy gain, health gain, Hex removal doesn't bumfuck it.. RMark has only one benefit, and that's it's health degen. Whoopty-friggin-doo. Oh, and it has more green in it's icon.
 * Secondary profession is locked due to AFK putting a pet on nigh every bar. The mentioned skills are fine choices, though (although I personally dislike FF/PS (and Martyr/PS), regardless of transfer method). --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  12:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Meh, FF is Necro and it allows you throw the conditions back over both Necro skills :)
 * And I'm sorry, but I'd never come to you Viper, with a build that has 0 elite skills and ask you to do anything other than ignore it.
 * Also, thank you Entropy for taking an interest :) A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 12:16, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Meh, you need to use 25% of your bar to acquire all conditions and send them back. Just taking them on is plenty. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  15:00, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Wait, we were discussing a particular build? :\ I was just theorycrafting.
 * The heal reduction is back to 33% again, which is an appreciable amount...Heal reduction generally doesn't stop PvE mobs, especially in Hard Mode because they have wtflux energy, but it's a lot more convenient than spreading Deep Wound. One cast of LC also just tends to make the AI waste its hex removal skills again and again, so if nothing else it is a good distraction. I also find it to be the most convenient skill to pair with Well of Darkness, a "Black" chain Assassin, other hex trigger stuff. Especially after they fixed Suffering.
 * I put Signet of Lost Souls on any and every Necromancer bar, especially Heroes. The only exception is some PvP, where I might take Glyph Lesser instead - in GvG for instance, my guild never ran massive firepowers so things weren't getting to <50% often enough that it was better. (In most other arenas, SolS is preferable; Glyph Lesser is for bads and unbrave players, but it's much easier to use properly.) The thing with Reaper's Mark is that it is the only energy management elite for Necros which isn't Cultist's Fervor, and that would require you to spec into shitty Blood. Heroes can't use Glyph Lesser properly, either.
 * In PvE, pets are *only* good if you're running some sort of gimmick build, for example IWAY (kinda bad in PvE), massive physical buffs/triggers so they do a bit more than pathetic DPS, Barrage/Pet where they serve as free tanks, 5x Enraged Lunge, or in a few special occasions such as Imperial Sanctum and you have Storm of Swords. (16x Storm of Swords < Shiro. Try it, it's fun.) Otherwise they are just a liability - you'll randomly get Diversion put on you, you're wasting a secondary and extra skill slots for Charm Animal at the very least, Revive Animal really slows you down, etc. Heroes are terrible at managing pets. AI will also waste precious redbarring and protting on pets. If left unchecked, pets can Leeroy much like a melee AI...they will keep chasing a target for quite a distance sometimes. You could argue that it doesn't matter because if they die they can just be rezzed, but that both slows down the party and maybe causes overaggro. Finally, Linsey (I think) stated that they will eventually be giving pets Death Penalty in PvE. Which would render them more or less totally useless. Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 18:22, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought they were more or less totally useless already. O_o If anything, pets need a buff to Beast Mastery, some viable skills, or AI, anything to put them back in the game outside of the Menagerie. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It is a gimmick.
 * And with that build, aggroing extras (after you've downed 1-2 mobs) is irrelevant. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 19:19, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
