Attributes and Skills
[build prof=N/Me name="SS Kanaxai Necro" ins=9 blo=3 sou=9+1 cur=12+1+3][Awaken the Blood][Arcane Echo][Spiteful Spirit][Arcane Mimicry][Spinal Shivers][Inspired Enchantment]["You Move Like a Dwarf!"][Epidemic][/build]

Equipment

 * An enchanting weapon will help when casting Awaken the Blood.

Usage

 * Maintain awaken the blood whenever possible for the +2 curses bonus with no downside since you will not be sacing any health.
 * Use Arcane Echo followed by Spiteful Spirit, then switch foes and cast the echoed SS. Aspects of Kanaxai and assassins should be your highest priority targets for SS for faster kills.
 * Once mobs are balled up, use "You Move Like a Dwarf!" followed by Epidemic for an AoE cripple, along with distributing any other conditions that may have been on your target.
 * Use Arcane Mimicry on your teammates at your own discretion. Being able to also maintain Unyielding Aura from one of the monks is always nice in case things go wrong.
 * In the room with the locked door and buttons, you will need to use arcane mimicry on the Barionic / Ollie Lead Tank in order to prevent being locked out. See User:Mswheele/Deathless Door Trick for more detailed instructions.
 * Spinal Shivers (Shivers of Dread) only needs to be used on the final Kanaxai. When properly prepared, the Lead Tank will have an icy weapon equiped that will help in neutralizing Kanaxai.
 * Inspired Enchantment (Revealed Enchantment) also only needs to be used on the final Kanaxai. The enchantment you want to remove is Nightmare Refuge, which will heal Kanaxai if it lasts its full duration of 10 seconds.

Variants

Usage

 * Maintain Elemental Lord (Luxon) and Fire Attunement.
 * Use Arcane Echo to copy Meteor Shower or Glowing Gaze at your own discretion.
 * Hex mobs with Mark of Rodgort, then spam glowing gaze and Searing Flames. This is especially important when the team is first divided, as using mark of rodgort ensures that searing flames will damage with each cast, killing before you run out of energy.
 * In room 1, meteor shower will be the source of knockdowns for killing the Aspect of Kanaxai. When coupled with a Zusan Spirit Rit, stay behind the wall of spirits allowing them to tank while you cast meteor shower.
 * Use Arcane Mimicry on your teammates at your own discretion. Being able to also maintain Unyielding Aura from one of the monks is always nice in case things go wrong.
 * In the room with the locked door and buttons, you will need to use arcane mimicry on the Barionic / Ollie Lead Tank in order to prevent being locked out. See User:Mswheele/Deathless Door Trick for more detailed instructions.

 * Hex targets, then use Arcane Echo to copy Cry of Pain. When your echoed Cry of Pain has recharged, use Auspicious Incantation before casting it again for a large energy return
