{Untested Trial|general}

This build is for a Necromancer/Mesmer, and is for general PvE. It uses Archane Echo and Spiteful Spirit to inflict large amounts of conditionary damage in a relatively short period of time.

Equipment

 * Armor
 * Weapons

Usage
First cast Suffering to cause basic health degen, often negating a monsters natural health regen. Select one melee target, and then use faintheartedness. If they have an enchantment, then use envenom enchantment to cause even more health degen. Then cast insidious parasite, to give yourself healing and do armor ignoring damage. Lastly, echo SS on two enemies in the mob, and after all your spells are casted, spam necrossis.

Counters
Because of the two second casting time of Archane Echo and Spiteful Spirit, the build is rather prone to interrupts. Also, the build is better against mobs rather than single targets. A single target doesn't give back enough energy to replace what was lost in the casting.

Variants
Rend Enchantments and Rip Enchantment are also effective enchantment removals, depending on the situation.
