User:Silavor/Silway

Silway started off as a joke on my dervish, until I realized just how effective a 'noobish' Sabway could be. Now obviously the real thing is billions of times better, but for characters who don't have access to all three necromancer heroes Silway can be just marginally less effective. It follows the same concept as Sabway, but with hero primaries that are more readily availible.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Necromancer/Monk SoulReaping=10+1 DeathMagic=12+1+3 ProtectionPrayers=8][Jagged Bones][Animate Bone Minions][Death Nova][Shield of Absorption][Foul Feast][Protective Spirit][Aegis][Signet of Lost Souls][/build]

Equipment

 * Armor: Survivors insignia; you want to make sure the Bomber doesn't die, or else the minions will turn on you and blow your frontline to bits.
 * Weapons: 40/40 is a good way to go, but something like the Woe Spreader works fine.

Usage
Just leave it alone. The hero can handle everything better than a human.

Counters
Daze, enchantment removal, and especially a lack of corpses.

Variants
Any bomber build works well. All that matters is jagged bones, bone minions, and death nova.

Equipment

 * Armor: Survivor's or Radiant, more health is good but so is energy in a build like this.
 * Weapons: 40/40, or a high energy set.

Usage
It casts hexes. It casts them fast. Sit back and watch the fireworks!

Counters
Extensive hex removal, general caster hate.

Variants
Throw in other anti-life hexes, if you want.

 * Xinrae's is another useful elite, if extra condition removal isn't a major priority.

Equipment

 * Armor: Survivor's or Radiant, nothing new here.
 * Weapons: While a 40/40 would be nice, anything with energy will work since the ritualist will have Kaolai up most of the time.

Usage
Micro death pact, and remove conditions if the hero isn't removing the one you want. But for the most part, just let it do it's thing.

Counters
Standard n/rt counters, plus energy denial.
