Focused on: Healing and Support
Designed for: Fractals and Raids
Overview
With the shortest Shroud 4 cooldown on Necromancer, Harbinger can get more use out of
than other builds. Between this and , it has perhaps the strongest res potential in the game.In addition to decent CC, it provides 20 Might, 25 Vulnerability and permanent Fury, Quickness and Regeneration.
Unfortunately, as it doesn't provide permanent Protection or much in the way of utility boons (mostly limited to ), the build is mostly a novelty.
Secrets of the Obscure added a number of potent healing weapons that significantly increased the gap between this build and the weakest "meta" healers. As such, it has been given the Basic rating.
