Usage

• The skill combo is fairly straightforward; the combo can't start until Shadow of Fear is cast, and from there things go pretty well in order.

Variants

• The first four skills are the core of the build, and the rest are essentially optional. Other options could be Resurrection Signet, Return, or an IAS skill.

Notes

• If partying with a minion master, swapping Consume Corpse out is advisable, since the MM will want all the corpses they can get.
