Guild Wars Character Profile: The Necromancer

GameSpot brings us another character profile for ArenaNet's Guild Wars, this time focusing on the game's Necromancer profession. Check it out:
The necromancer class specializes in hexes, which are powerful curses that detract from your enemies' combat and/or spellcasting effectiveness and can even drain life force away from them. Necromancers have also become known for having masochistic streaks. That is, they have several skills that damage themselves but can bring about other effects, such as damaging and hindering their enemies in exchange for their own health. This profession holds sway over the ghoulish undead, and it can even summon undead creatures (from the corpses of friends and foes alike) to battle on its behalf. Necromancers are surprisingly well-rounded characters that can both provide support and inflict damage unto enemies in battle.
