Overview

The easiest quickness boon support necromancer build ever. Easy to hit 95-100% quickness uptime, depending on how badly the mechanics make you run around away from others, while still yielding respectable condition damage for a boon support role (but not best). The build takes advantage of Superior Rune of the Firebrand's massive Quickness-specific duration bonuses (40%) and Deathly Haste and Twisted Medicine to make quickness super easy to provide.

Shroud Loop

After that, 10 seconds in, 10 Seconds out to maximize the 10% damage buff from Soul Barbs.

Weapon Loop

1. Out of Shroud is basically 1 pass of any skills off cooldown, pop your elite, utility, weapon 5->4->3->2, Weapon Swap, again 5->4->3->2, while popping any utility off cooldown. Eazy Peazy
2. Use any Utility abilities off cd, except {Skill|Blood Is Power}, which should only be used 1 time before entering shroud.
