In the current meta, with scrappers puking superspeed, scourges destroying enemies within melee range and mobile WoD this build is not optimal. Condi dmg is lackluster at the moment and the Tranfusion (F4) used to work greatly to pull allies caught in static winds, not anymore.
Works wonderfully in the Zerg and in the small group game, Acceptable Healing and also holds something. Condi damage could be better. Suitable for offensive play
Excellent hybrid condi/support build. This build brings good support capabilities to the Scourge while maintaining moderate damage capabilities. This build fulfills a niche role in downstate control that shines quite well in the pirate ship meta. Moderate healing ability can provide some additional healing support during Firebrand Tome downtime, and barrier provides burst DPS mitigation. In addition to the support, this build still provides adequate condi pressure DPS that is moderately spammable and easily spread across the battlefield.
UPDATE
The condi DPS is much lower than when I originally voted. While still very useful for corruption, barrier, heal support, and downstate control, the lack of damage potential makes it less desireable to take now. Celestial Support Scourge with a power focus is a stronger option now. Because of its role and unique abilities, rating is at good, rather than basic.
If i rank necro builds it's celestial, power and than blood scourge. I just don't like resurection and support aspects of this build. You are sacrificing a spot for basicly what some specs can do along with it's primary role.
I like this build quite alot i howe er run it with Marshal gear and iam curious wy it isnt mentioned here as an option, am i missing something? I find marshal to trade minimal heal capacity and damage resistance. I hope to see some opinions on this.
I run this build with Cele and Cleric, using Axe and Death Perception. It is effective healer and effective DPS at the same time. I out heal guards and provide top 10 DPS for my squad. It takes judgement and skill to play three different roles at one time, healer, emergency res, and dps, but this is where Scourge shines in that its play is generally easiest to master of the new elite specs. Once you feel you are ready to step up to more challenging play, this build is ideal for skilled necromancers.
An effective support thanks to excellent utility and the ability to mitigate burst damage. Although healing output is low, barrier and transfusion make it a must have for any group playing against Winds of Disenchantment.
