Scourge - Power Curses

Spite/curses brings the most amount of strips. Full power brings the most amount of DPS on scourge. Combine and this build is better than other listed variants.

Great, better DPS, scourge build when your team has enough sustain and you don't need celestial. Id run variant of the build by swapping out 1 force sigil for bloodlust and making it more reliable in harder fights by not using scholar runes. Don't run dumBlings.

Great build. Still being able to spike hard while maintaining the corrupts from Curses traitline. It is better than hybrid scourge at the moment due to much more access to condition cleanse/convert on the meta, which makes spike and direct damage way more valuable.

I run this with Spite variant and focus on purely boonstripping as i feel it generates more downed than maximizing dps

A Scourge Build focused on power damage as well as extremely high spike damage. This build can generate downed enemies extremely effectively, and in an organized group using cool downs together can wipe dozens of enemies instantly.
Strong build still, and more balanced after the update. Good players can use their shades wisely in either ranged comps or in melee comps. Corrupts are the icing on the cake for this build and make this an attractive contender for a DPS slot even after the recent nerf.
