Build:N/any FA Pain of Disenchantment

The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. This build has received an overall rating in the range from 3.75 to < 4.75 and thus qualifies for the lower category of working builds: Good. This build has been designed for the following use: PvP FA

This build provides strong anti-physical hexes while still possessing strong spiking ability with heavy enchant removal and a large amount of damage. It maintains a strong level of survivability through Return and Parasitic Bond spam. Incredibly strong on the Luxon side, but does see a lot of play on Kurzick too.
