Usage

General

  • Life Reap reduces the cooldown of all your shroud skills via Reaper's Onslaught
  • It is extremely important to use Soul Spiral deliberately to proc Transfusion, do not waste it.


Overall Priorities

High
  • Well of Corruption
  • Transfusion
Moderate
  • Boon Rip
Low
  • Support


Surviving

  • This build has low passive defense
  • This build has good mobility skill access
  • This build has low active defenses
    • Be conservative with Well of Power, it is your only stunbreak
Active defense priority
  • Well of Power - for stunbreaking and condi clear
  • Dodge
  • Well of Blood
  • Reaper's Shroud


Detailed Explanations

Well of Corruption

  • Save your Well of Corruption for the commanders call
    • If you aren't using voice communication, use your wells at the same time as the other Necromancers in your group
  • When using pulsing ground AoEs like Well of Corruption, try to place them so that one edge is on the enemy group and the other edge is in the direction they are moving to


Transfusion

  • Use Soul Spiral to activate Transfusion and pull any allied downstates within 600 range to your character
    • Be careful not to pull downstates away from your group. If you can't activate Transfusion in a good position, don't use it at all
  • After transfusing, interact with the rez to activate Ritual of Life, stow weapon to cancel hand res, then cleave with Life Reap to refresh Soul Spiral
    • Don't stay rezzing a downstate when the enemy group is pushing to or spiking it, its more important to keep yourself alive
  • Exit Shroud when Soul Spiral is at 10s cooldown
    • If you think you can get 3 more auto attack chains out then you can stay in shroud


Boon rip

  • Use "Nothing Can Save You!" and Nightfall when the enemy group is pushing towards you or your group is in melee
  • Use Devouring Darkness off cooldown
  • use Death's Charge as often as possible to proc Path of Corruption


Support

  • Use Locust Swarm as often as possible on pushes and during extended engages
  • Well of Blood and Well of Power can be used on your group while clashing
