Unstable Wall of Elements | Unnerving Boneyard | Harness Magicka | Spirit Guardian | Skeletal Archer | Pestilent Colossus |
Honorable Mentions:
*We do NOT use Flawless Dawnbreaker. It is slotted for the fighters Guild Passives
SKILL LINEAGE – SOLO MAGICKA NECROMANCER
ROTATION – SOLO MAGICKA NECROMANCER
Explanation: The core of Necromancer rotations looks like this:
- Stalking Blastbones > Spammable > Spammable > Stalking Blastbones > Spammable >Spammable
> S > S > > S > S
-repeat- - For this build, the spammable is Ricochet Skull
- Stalking Blastbones is your highest DPS ability, therefore the idea here is that you are casting it every time its off cooldown, which means you are casting it every third ability.
- *You will replace the spammable (Ricochet Skull), with whichever dot is falling off at the time, but you will always cast Stalking Blastbones every third ability. If all dots are up, you cast Ricochet Skull between Stalking Blastbones. Enjoy!
- To improve your chances of living, keep all of your dots ticking! Due to the ring of pale order the life leech will keep you alive!
