User:Krschkr/Contagion Necromancer

This necromancer combines [[Dark Aura@18] with [[Contagion@18] to deal large amounts of armour ignoring area damage on top of spreading conditions. Combines best with [[foul feast] or [[draw conditions] on a team mate so you can transfer conditions for additional dark aura triggering. Due to its self-destructive nature this build requires additional healing compared to most other builds; benefits from monk healers in particular thanks to [[Dwayna's kiss]. The [[burning speed@2] build variant benefits from [[blood is power], but does not strictly require it.

Should be combined with [[fragility] and [[fevered dreams] for best results.

Equipment
Weapons:
 * 40/20/20 death magic.
 * 40/20/20 soul reaping.
 * High energy set death magic.
 * Shield set: "Let the Memory Live Again" martial weapon of defense with a shield of fortitude.

 * 5 blessed insignias.

Usage

 * Apply [[masochism@13], [[dark aura@18] and [[contagion@18] in this sequence before combat. Whenever you renew your enchantments while masochism is still up, use dark aura first so its cover is better.
 * Use [[burning speed@2] before engaging foes with enchantment removal.
 * Activate [[asuran scan] whenever it is recharged.
 * All your spells, including burning speed and asuran scan, trigger [[masochism@15]'s health sacrifice and thus [[dark aura@18].
 * Kill foes by inflicting conditions on self.
 * Draw additional conditions from team mates with [[foul feast@15] for additional damage, condition spread and team stability.

Counters

 * Deep enchantment removal.
 * Slow healers.
 * [[Recovery] in your own team.
