Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=N/Mo name="Necro WoH Hybrid" sou=8+1+1 hea=12 pro=10][Signet of Lost Souls][Word of Healing][Aegis][Spirit Bond][Protective Spirit][Shield of Absorption][Cure Hex][Rebirth][/build] </pvxbig>

Equipment

• 1 Rune of Soul Reaping (any kind).
• 1 Rune of Vigor (any kind).
• 3 Rune of Vitae or Attunement.
• 5 Radiant Insignias.
• +1 Soul Reaping headpiece.
• Any r9 or r10 Protection Prayers wand/focus or staff.
• Deep energy set for usage with Rebirth.

Usage

• Use Signet of Lost Souls to gain health and energy when needed.
• Use Word of Healing as your main, spammable heal.
• Use Aegis to keep up an "Aegis Chain" if others in your party are carrying Aegis. Use Guardian to counter melee attackers on your individual party members if you bring Guardian instead.
• Use Spirit Bond to counter heavy damage hits in Hard Mode, coupled with Protective Spirit if using on an ally that has higher than 600 health.
• Use Protective Spirit to lower the damage taken on individual party members.
• Use Shield of Absorption to lower damage taken on individual party members.
• Use Cure Hex on allies suffering from hexes.
• Use Rebirth on allies to resurrect them (and make sure to disable it on a hero and micro-manage its usage).
• Soul Reaping should provide more than substantial energy, ESPECIALLY when coupled with a minion bomber MM, such as Build:N/any_General_Bomber or any of its many variations, due to the massive deaths of lower level minions.

Counters

• Standard anti-caster counters such as interrupts, mesmer hexes, and energy denial, although energy denial is not as damaging with this build, as long as things are dying
• Party wide damage

Variants

• Reversal of Fortune can be used to provide quick healing.
• Words of Comfort can be used in condition heavy areas.
• Convert Hexes can replace Cure Hex in heavy hex areas.
• Guardian|Guardian for more targeted 50% chance to block, especially when not running Aegis.
• Aura of Stability for heavy knockdown areas.
• Extinguish for heavy condition areas.
• Heal Party for party-wide healing
• Foul Feast for exceptional condition removal

Notes

• If you prefer your hero's do not resurrect during battle, then disable the resurrection skill on the bar when using on a hero.
• This build was developed to counter one of the main disadvantages of the "Sabway" triple necro build's healer..the lack of suitable protection.
