Since no one's posted anything I looked around and updated the list to at least have one build per category.
But I can't vouch for how well the builds work.

Cool, I'll have to check some out. If I ever get around to leveling my necro.

Good, real men play necromancers.

Whiskey and necros

I'm levelling my necro pretty aggressively these days, cuz I want to be able to play necro in dungeons once in a while. Now that I have a plan to trait for blood wells in dungeons, and fudge my way into a minion build outside dungeons, I'm pretty hyped.

I went mass aoe for leveling, it's worked out fine so far. I'm really liking dagger and axe though, so I'll probably try to come up with something for those at 80.

I really like the staff, it feels good and powerful against groups.

I have to admit, I have not yet found a good 2nd set that I like. I like the gameplay of the axe main and the animations, but it feels weak for some reason. Dagger main I haven't really tried enough yet. Not a big fan of scepter either. And I need to pick a main before I start seriously considering offhands.

I have not studied this, but I also don't get the impression that there's much synergy of weapons and minions.

[RD]

I switch up my weapons. I think I use dagger and horn a lot, with Staff for AOE.

Horn? Why?
