I just return to game from very long break. Need some help with build for solo questing, some advices about pets, and spell rotations. Also i think i got messed bad with my points in "skill list" ( bandaging, recovery ... ) so any recommendations are greatly welcome.

it depends... there are many ways to play necro, it's mostly a matter of taste...

if you want to use caster pets, i'd suggest reapers and this build...
if you prefere melee pets, life stealers and this build...
or, if you want to go without pets, you can use something like this...
another option is to use the last build with dts at x7 and one melee pet, to be able to use frenzy and/or one more fear...

for the spell rotations, i usually start with pb, ftw, motd, br, is, is, ls, chill...
then, if there are more than 1 mob, i change target and restart with ftw, motd, and then is at will until either br or ls are available again...
if it's a boss, you can restart with pb, then cast is until either ftw or motd dots are over, chill when the pb dot is almost over, or br or ls when they are available again...

have fun!!

450 points in climbing are enough for everything...
other than that... i don't remember the skill list, but i'm sure i have no points in bandaging, recovery and such...

Hold ALT and click the left mouse button as you hover over your skills to reset them! Choose anything you like there!

A lot of the skills are pretty pointless to be honest, most of them deal with out of combat situations like increased health/stamina/mana regen whiole resting, so far i've always found that while resting my characters regen pretty fast without any of them skills so i don't bother with them.

ok thx for sills info, what buffs you suggest to use in that buid and what is best spell rotation on aoe mob packs ?

Good thing about a necro is, that if one tactic doesn't work, you can always switch to different pets and try again

Since i don't like pets too much, i mostly run around questing with one pet, but the more enemies, the more i have to kite and use stamina, health and mana regen pets. For longer battles an arcanist to buff the base spell value.
Concerning spells i try to use mark on devourer and flesh to worms on as many as possible, before going aoe dps. Buffs vary for me between the spell penetration/chill buff and the critical rating buff, depending on situation.

Skillwise running and casting concentration is maxxed, hide around 200, a few (so i can reset and buff some skills if needed for 0 tin) in bandaging/recovery and the rest in climb.

But i guess, not much has changed in necro gameplay, even the ccs are now ranged again and the feat tree is still basicallly the same. I am no necro expert, but for me these things always worked both in pve and pvp.
