This build is still being created and is not yet ready to be rated. This build has been designed for the following use: |
Use Barbed Signet to facilitate Discord/Necrosis spiking. Play in human dominated parties or back yourself up with heroes in dedicated support roles while personally dishing out damage approaching that of a Discordway team. Alternately, act as marker with a full Discordway team for massive spike damage.

Equipment
+60 health +17 energy weapon/focus set.
Survivor runes.
Vigor/Vitae runes in free slots.
Usage
Activate Barbed Signet before approaching the enemy. Hex a target, then alternate between Discord and Necrosis until either Barbed Signet runs out or you need to reapply a hex. Use "Finish Him!" to speed up your kills against heavily damaged targets or bosses, use the backup condition marker against immune to bleeding foes, and use Necrosis against spell immune foes. Soul Reaping spiked enemies should keep you energized for most fights even without energy management skills.
Your non Necromancer hexes will not trigger Barbed Signet's bleeding effect, but Discord will trigger bleeding before its damage is applied, so the attack sequence remains unchanged.
Counters
Interrupts
Heavy hex removal
Fragility hybrid variant
<pvxbig> [build prof=N/Me ill=8 blo=9+1 death=11+1+3 sou=8+1 cur=1][Discord][Optional][Fragility][Barbed Signet][Necrosis][Optional]["Finish Him!"][Optional][/build]
- Illusion of Weakness Automatic emergency heal. Additional utility choice.
</pvxbig>
Usage
Functions in the same way as the main variant. Fragility causes additional area damage when combined with Fevered Dreams or Searing Heat heroes and slightly boosts your first Discord attack. Due to Fragility and the ease of reapplying bleeding, fast enemy condition removal actually makes you more effective. Finish Him! also triggers Fragility twice in addition to its usual damage.
