Masochistic Orders Necromancer
The Masochistic Orders Necromancer is a general guide for an orders necromancer. It uses the power of so-called orders to enhance the DPS in teams with many physical attackers. It can also act as a support role, giving party members offensive or defensive aid. It is very effective in Tomb of Primeval Kings but also in organized PvE parties, especially in Hard Mode.

Basic build
[build prof=Necro/Any Blood=12+1+3 Soul=10+3][Order of the Vampire][Blood Renewal][Blood Ritual][Awaken the Blood][Optional][Optional][Masochism][Sunspear Rebirth Signet][/build]

Introduction
This is the basic orders necromancer, using OoV to up the party members DPS and also assist monks in healing (since the damage is lifesteal). It has BR to assist casting backliners or midliners and Masochism to sustain energy.

In the last optional slots, support skills from other professions can be used. Other than that, Blood Magic skills such as Blood Bond also work well.

If you want to use the skill Dark Fury, swift OoV to OoP and use another elite, such as Light of Deliverance or Restore Condition to assist your allies.

Usage

 * Keep up Awaken the Blood and Masochism at all times.
 * Blood Renewal is used to keep you alive.
 * Use Blood Ritual when needed on your backline allies.

Variants
