User:Mgrinshpon/Leet/N/W Balanced Sword

A Balanced Sword Necromancer is based upon the skills of a Necromancer that would be a great warrior buff but warrios do not have the energy to sustain them. Using the skill's on this build it can make for a quick take down on a dervish, assassin, and warrior, and when those enemies are eliminated you can still move onto the caster's and use Weaken Armor and then frenzy to help kill them. To manage your health you would cast Insidious Parasite onto a warrior or if the time comes quickly find an enemy with more health and cast Grenth's Balance on them. I have designed this build mainly for TA, HA, and GvG but it seems to also be usefull in RA at times.

Usage
When using the build the first enemy you want to pick out should be a Dervish, when dealing with a dervish first you want them to cast all their enchantments, then you use Envenom Enchantments followed by Parasitic Bond, Faintheartedness, Weaken Armor, and Insidious Parasite. If the foe is near any other foes cast Mark of Pain then Frenzy and attack him/her. If there is no Dervish then the next foe you would want to attack is an Assassin use the same skills as on the dervish unless they don't have enchantments don't use Envenom Enchantments. Then next foe if there are no Assassin's is a Warrior. If there is no Warrior go for the Paragon. If there is no Paragon seek out the Mesmer because they can be trouble for youand your energy management and if going against a skilled Mesmer they can interrupt your skills disabling you from battle. If there is no Mesmer Go for the Ele but be careful for their spikes and i would suggest have your team mates aid you in killing the Ele. If there is no Ele of course then go for the Monk and there is no doubt that your team mates will be by your side to help you kill the Monk.

When your are going low on Health try to put Insidious Parasite on a melee attacker and use Grenth's Balance on a foe with high health.

Counters
