This build uses Depravity to produce ample e-denial and pressure to opposing casters. With the inclusion of various types of cover hexes, this build accomplishes both shut down as well as noteworthy team support.

Attribute and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=necro/mes curses=11+1+1 soulre=8+1 dom=9 insp=8][Depravity][Parasitic Bond][Wastrel's Worry][Power Drain][Optional][Foul Feast][Signet of Lost Souls][Resurrection Signet][/build] </pvxbig>

Equipment

  • Radiant armor, highest Vigor rune affordable, Attunement or Vitae runes.
  • A Curses focus with a "Forget Me Not" inscription (for higher chances of hex stacking on more targets) and a Fortitude mod or an Aptitude mod.
  • A curses staff with a HCT incription and an insightful headpiece. The suffix part is up to the player. Fortitude for more health, or mastery for higher curses.
  • Standard Defensive sets.

Usage

  • Moving in, select your target (preferredly a monk) and hex with Depravity. If the monk is already enchanted (probably pre-veiling), quickly follow up with Wastrel's and then with Parasitic Bond.
  • Hex melee foes with Price of Failure, quickly covering with parasitic.
  • Foul Feast harmful conditions off of your healer, like deep wound, cripple and daze. Make sure to keep blind off of your frontliner as well.
  • Power Drain as an interrupt, as well as minimum e-management.
  • Use Signet of Lost Souls against foes with less than 50% HP for minimum HP and energy gain.

Variants

As with all other Depravity builds, there's quite a few possible variants.

  • Mind Wrack as a cover hex, instead of Wastrel's.
  • Web of Disruption for a secondary cover hex, for depravity in general. It has the added secondary effect of a possible double interrupt.
  • Defile Defenses for an anti-block skill, cover, and large conditional damage.

Optional

Counters

  • Heavy hex removal.
  • General caster hate.
  • Ironically, energy denial.

Notes

This is yet another variant of the depravity builds around, but this one does things a tad bit more aggressively. With the limited party support, as well as being able to severely hamper casters and helpful anti-melee, this build does not one thing very well, but it does several things handily.
