Gameplay

I LOVE this build, It is so much fun!
I admittedly do not have all the right gear but I can do *MOST* content solo.
I find I barely use Staff as im no good with it and the Avatar is barely used unless in Meta events to provide minor healing.
I use Runes of the Trapper (requiring 400 in crafting (leather/heavy armour craft/ light armour craft) to get some pressure off me as it provides invis upon laying traps.
Interesting build – I started with minion harbinger and compared to this ranger/druid, necro is really an easy mode. Thanks for your effort, your guides are very detailed and also a lot of fun! 🙂
