The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page. This build has been designed for the following use: |
This two man and six hero support-team utilizes the Soul Reaping concept of powerful energy management to Hard-Mode PvE with ease; in addition to offering superior defensive stablility, damage reduction and resilience to attrition. Very easy to use, requires little to no active hero controlling; allows the 2-man players to completely focus on killing.
Team Overview
The Humans
<pvxbig>
</pvxbig>
- This can be basically anything, being good is not mandatory. Sit back and enjoy the show.
- Suggestions on what to bring:
The Splinter SS
<pvxbig> [build prof=N/Rt Curses=12+1+1 Soul=8+1 Channeling=10][Spiteful Spirit][Enfeebling Blood][Mark of Pain][Barbs][Signet of Lost Souls][Weaken Armor][Ancestor's Rage][Splinter Weapon][/build] </pvxbig>

- Defile Defenses - For blocking punishment.
- Defile Flesh - For healing punishment.
- Price of Failure - For melee punishment.
- Reckless Haste - For melee punishment.
- Soul Barbs - For enchantment punishment.
- Note: If you aren't using Splinter Weapon then remove the channeling magic attribute points and add them into Soul Reaping.
Equipment
- Survivor Insignia, highest Vigor Rune you can afford and Attunement Runes
- 40/40 Curses set
The Utility SV
<pvxbig> [build prof=N/Rt Blood=12+1+1 Soul=10+1 res=8][Spoil Victor][Blood Bond][Life Siphon][Oppressive Gaze][Signet of Lost Souls][Strip Enchantment][Weapon of Warding][Death Pact Signet][/build] </pvxbig>
Slavers Exile Variant
<pvxbig> [build prof=N/R Blood=12+1+1 Soul=10+1 Wild=8][Spoil Victor@16][Blood Bond@16][Life Siphon@16][Signet of Sorrow][Signet of Lost Souls][Strip Enchantment@16][Awaken the Blood@16][Frozen Soil][/build] </pvxbig>
- Life Siphon can be replaced by:
- Barbed Signet - For constant Bleeding.
- Mark of Fury - For adrenaline and Cracked Armor.
- Blood Ritual - As an alternative to Restorer BiP.
Optional Elites
- Order of the Vampire - Best for melee-oriented 2-man parties and additional life-stealing.
- Ravenous Gaze - Cheap, spammable armor-ignoring AoE damage.
Equipment
- Survivor Insignia, Vigor/Vitae runes
- 40/40 Blood set
The Bomber JB
<pvxbig> [build prof=N/Mo death=12+1+1 Soul=8+1 prot=10][Jagged Bones][Animate Bone Minions][Death Nova][Putrid Bile][Signet of Lost Souls][Protective Spirit][Aegis][Convert Hexes][/build] </pvxbig>
- The optional would be either:
- Masochism - For stronger explosions.
- Foul Feast - For energy management.
- Infuse Condition - For condition removal.
Optional Elites
- Aura of the Lich - For stronger minions, corpseless areas and buff to Death Magic.
Equipment
- Bloodstained Insignia on the head, hands, or boots, Survivor Insignia on the remaining slots, Vitae runes.
- 40/40 Death set
The Discord Hybrid
<pvxbig> [build prof=N/Rt death=12+1+1 Soul=8+1 res=10][Discord][Animate Shambling Horror][Rotting Flesh][Putrid Bile][Signet of Lost Souls][Protective Was Kaolai][Weapon of Warding][Spirit Light][/build] </pvxbig>
- Rotting Flesh can be replaced by:
- Animate Bone Horror - For beefier meat-shields.

- Recovery - For condition-heavy areas.
Optional Elites
- Aura of the Lich - For stronger minions, corpseless areas and buff to Death Magic.

Equipment
- Bloodstained Insignia on the head, hands, or boots, Survivor Insignia on the remaining slots, Vitae runes.
- Not as important as the hero will be holding the ashes most of the time, but a 40/40 Restoration set is advised. This would enable the hero to recharge PwK faster.
The Restorer BiP
<pvxbig> [build prof=N/Rt Soul=10+1+1 bloodm=8+1 res=12][optional][Weapon of Warding][Spirit Light][Mend Body and Soul][Signet of Lost Souls][Protective Was Kaolai][Life][Flesh of My Flesh][/build] </pvxbig>

- Note: If you aren't using BiP then remove the blood magic attribute points and add them into Soul Reaping.
Equipment
- Survivor Insignia, Vigor/Vitae runes
- Not as important as the hero will be holding the ashes most of the time, but a 40/40 Restoration set is advised. This would enable the hero to recharge PwK faster.
