Equipment

• Necromancer armor of personal preference. Radiants Insignia's are prefrable.
• a 20/20 weapon and 20/20 offhand.
• A +15^-1 weapon may be helpful if your stuggling for energy.

Usage

• Be conscious of the aggro distribution around the tanking characters. The success of this build relies on proper placement of Spiteful Spirit, and poor placement can be the difference between eliminating the group and a wasted spell.
• Before battle, cast Arcane Echo.
• Choose a target and cast Spiteful Spirit. Assassins are ideal targets, due to their high attack speed and double strike chance. It is better to pick a target in the middle of a group than a faster-attacking target away from other enemies.
• Select a second nearby target and cast a second Spiteful Spirit.
• Interrupt dangerous spells and healers with Web, CoP and Technobabble.
• Use Insidious Parasite to deal with strays.
• Use Enfeebling Blood on melee attackers, paragons and rangers if they are targetting squishies, and if the tank is taking too much damage.

Variants

• "You Move Like a Dwarf!" For Extra damage, kd and interrupt.
• "Finish him!" for DW, Cracked Armour and extra damage.
• Blood Ritual if you have bad monks
• "BUH!"
• GDW if with melee or rangers
• PI If you expect to take a lot of damage.
• Weaken Armour if against lots of high Armour level enemies and with allies with non-armour ignoring damage.
