Ratings

I'm running this with Trailblazer's + Death Magic and with 3 minions (similar to the recommended setup for Condi Scourge) while using Undead runes to combo well with all the bonus toughness I'm stacking and this build absolutely MELTS everything while barely taking damage. Though it's not this exact build I would credit this build for the inspiration, so thank you!

TBH, if there is 4.5 rating, I'd give to this build but that didn't happen cause IMO it has 2 problems, first, it depend on Nightmare runes which aren't as accessible as other runes which if someone tried this build they wouldn't run it as intended to explore its full potential, as for the 2nd reason, it's not as effective as other builds in fighting mobs in great numbers such as when in HoT or some PoF maps, Power Reaper or Barrier Scourge are better in dealing with these situations but when it comes to fighting bosses such as fractal and strike bosses in a group, your Harbinger build is the superior choice.
