Utility

Well of Darkness - can replace Flesh Wurm, generally Well of Darkness is one of the most Meta skills for Necromancer right now. The blindness pulse can really mess up any player.

Well of Suffering - Great to combo with your elixrs to cause your opponent to have high Vulnerability allowing for intense bursts. You could potentially drop multiple players with this but that's all situational.

Equipment Variants

Amulets

• - A still high bursty Amulet with much more vitality, with Shroud Traits such as Death Perception, a high crit isn't needed as much although makes you reliant on that chance of a critical. If you use Rune of Eagle, you should have no problem generally gaining a critical strike. Thanks to Implacable Foe, you'll gain extra Ferocity on Vitality. (Although it's not very much, it's still a neat bonus).

• - A true glass canon Amulet as Berserker usually is, this requires a lot more teamwork, and cautious decision making. Although this one will guarantee your power, it can also just as easily guarantee your demise.

'Sigils

• Sigil of Exposure - If you choose to add an additional Exposure, its best to either replace your other energy, or flip, and have both exposures replace intelligence instead of Energy if you prefer that bonus endurance.

Usage

As a Harbinger, you're gonna wanna drop your elixirs onto your enemies for that quick 10 stacks of Vulnerability, the best way to do this is either when you use Vital Draw, that way when you use Voracious Arc, you can drop a power 10K - 11K Critical Strike. This will be your most powerful burst. Devouring Cut can also be used allowing for a possible of 6k - 8k critical strike, depending on the total amount of Vulnerability stacks.

Your first thing generally to do will be build up some life force, but unlike Reaper and Core Necromancer, Harbinger will automatically gain a certain amount of Lifeforce when entering, so generally having around 25% - 33% Lifeforce built up is more than enough to get your stuff down.
