==Overview==
 
A Scourge support build that brings easy full uptime {{tooltip|Alacrity}} and a very robust amount of {{tooltip|Might}} to its subgroup, high {{tooltip|Fury}} uptime, solid amounts of healing, and the signature support Scourge resurrectability. Most of the healing comes in the form of '''barrier''' and {{tooltip|Regeneration}}, and as such, this build isn't amazing at burst healing. This is not a problem most of the time as even should the combination of barrier and regen fail the ease of resurrection should make most things recoverable.
 
 
This build also boasts a very solid amount of condition removal between {{Skill|Nefarious Favor}} and {{Trait|Abrasive Grit}} as well as the occasional {{tooltip|Protection}} from {{trait|Eternal Life}}.
 
 
It's important to note that a solid chunk of the {{tooltip|Might}} comes from the application of barrier so any changes that reduce barrier generation will also necessarily reduce might generation.

===Weapon Variants===
 
* Replacing the '''Scepter''' with a '''Dagger''' will make life force generation extremely comfortable. If you're struggling with it, it's a very valid choice.
 
* Using a '''Warhorn''' instead of the '''Torch''' can be useful if you're hurting for CC.
 
 
===Skill Variants===
 
 
'''Healing'''
 
* {{Skill|Well of Blood}} replaces some of the barrier generation with more regen.
 
 
 
'''Utility'''
 
* {{Skill|Serpent Siphon}} for extra barrier and regen as well as {{tooltip|Aegis}} in case you're using this build to tank.
 
* {{Skill|Well of Power}} for extra {{tooltip|Might}} generation.
 
* {{Skill|Epidemic}} can be useful in certain specific encounters.

===Trait Variants===
 
* {{Trait|Soul Marks}} can be useful if you're hurting for life force generation.
 
* {{Trait|Vital Persistence}} for some extra self-sustain especially if you're tanking.
 
* {{Trait|Soul Barbs}} for a healthy amount of extra DPS in exchange for less life force generation.
 
* '''Both''' {{Trait|Herald of Sorrow}} and {{trait|Desert Empowerment}} are necessary as they are the backbone of this build's {{tooltip|Alacrity}} generation. Never touch them.

===Equipment Variants===
 
* {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Monk}} if you already have it and don't want to swap is fine, but the sixth rune bonus of +10% outgoing healing doesn't apply to barrier so it's less useful for this build.
 
* You can make the weapons {{Tooltip|Seraph}} instead if you want to sacrifice some DPS for full uptime of 25 stacks of {{tooltip|Might}}. The extra concentration is definitely unnecessary for the {{tooltip|Alacrity}}, though, as this build has more than enough Boon Duration for that.
 
* {{Tooltip|Plaguedoctor}} provides a lot of vitality at the cost of some DPS.
 
 
 
==Consumables==
 
 
'''Food'''
 
* {{food|Bowl of Tropical Fruit Salad}}
 
* {{food|Bowl of Poultry Satay}} if you want some extra Concentration.
 
* {{food|Plate of Beef Rendang}} if you don't need to heal as much and want more DPS.
 
 
 
'''Utility'''
 
* {{utility|Peppermint Oil}}
 
* {{utility|Bountiful Maintenance Oil}} if you need the extra healing but you might need to compensate elsewhere for the lost Concentration.
 
 
 
 
==Usage==
 
 
===Healing===
 
* {{trait|Desert Empowerment}} gives barrier whenever you use {{Skill|Manifest Sand Shade}} so you probably want to use it pretty often. Don't sit on two unused charges of it.
 
** {{Skill|Sand Cascade}}, {{Skill|Sandstorm Shroud}}, and {{Skill|Sand Flare}} are your big sources of barrier and should be used off cooldown.
 
** {{Skill|Serpent Siphon}} is another good source of barrier if you take it.
 
** Do remember though that your allies can only get up to 50% of their total health in barrier.
 
* {{Skill|Garish Pillar}} basically off cooldown for the pulsing healing to your allies.
 
* {{Skill|Mark of Blood}} (and {{Skill|Serpent Siphon}} and/or {{Skill|Well of Blood}} if you take them) will be your main source(s) of {{tooltip|Regeneration}}.
 
** Dodge every now and then for the regen from {{trait|Mark of Evasion}}.
 
 
 
===Boons===
 
* Using your barrier skills off cooldown will basically guarantee full {{tooltip|Alacrity}} uptime with a good fifteen or more seconds of leeway.
 
* {{skill|Blood Is Power}}, {{skill|Desiccate}}, and {{Skill|Oppressive Collapse}} are your main sources of {{tooltip|Might}}; spam them.
 
** You get it from {{trait|Abrasive Grit}} whenever you apply barrier, too.
 
* Using {{skill|Desiccate}} off-cooldown should guarantee full {{tooltip|Fury}} uptime, given its reduced recharge due to your permanent {{tooltip|Alacrity}}, but it's very tight. Even without being very dedicated to it, though, it does provide high amounts of it, and if someone else is generating a little bit too it should be comfortable.
 
 
 
===CC===
 
* {{Skill|Charge (necromancer)}}
 
* {{Skill|Oppressive Collapse}}
 
* {{Skill|Garish Pillar}}
 
* {{Skill|Reaper's Mark}}
 
* {{Skill|Chillblains}}
 
* {{Skill|Grasping Dead}}
 
* {{Skill|Wail of Doom}} if using a Warhorn.
 
* {{Skill|Dark Pact}} if using a Dagger.
 
 
 
===General Tips===
 
* You should always have at least one Shade active from {{Skill|Manifest Sand Shade}} for the bonus Concentration and Expertise from {{Trait|Sand Sage}}.
 
* If you're using the Scepter, try not to interrupt your auto-attack chain for the {{tooltip|Poison}} from {{skill|Putrid Curse}}.
 
* If you're not taking {{trait|Fear of Death}} you might need to be a bit more aggressive in life force generation. {{skill|Feast of Corruption}}, {{skill|Harrowing Wave}}, and {{skill|Necrotic Grasp}} are your friends. {{trait|Soul Marks}} might help, too.
 
** On the other hand, if you take a Dagger main hand you will never need to worry about life force ever, at the cost of needing to be in melee range of the boss.
