Tainted Flesh

Mystic Regeneration

Armor of Sanctity

Animate Bone Minions

Death Nova

Taste of Death

Vile Miasma

Rotting Flesh

• Swap Vile Miasma, or Taste of Death with Conviction to greatly increase the survivabilty.

Equipment

• Radiant or Blessed Insignia's
• A Death Magic Staff of Enchanting, preferably one that decreases skill recharge.

Usage

• Before battle apply Tainted Flesh on yourself, or any ally who asks nicely. Don't mind people calling your skills saying "Tainted Flesh!? you suck!", the only reason they say so is either that they're affraid to die, or the fact that you will be stealing all their kills.
• When encountering your enemies, cast Rotting Flesh and Vile Miasma to inflict a total of 8 pips degeneration.
• Whenever there's a corpse available use Animate Bone Minions and apply Death Nova on them.
• To Bomb them, use Taste of Death, if they haven't been killed already, by your ignorant opponents, not knowing their death awaits them ;P.
• Whenever you're suffering Degeneration, or damage, apply Armor of Sanctity and Mystic Regeneration.
• When you find yourself left in the middle of a large group of opponents, cast Death Nova on yourself, which gives a chance of killing some opponents uppon death.
• All energy Management will come from Soul Reaping, which is quite a lot in the middle of a battlefield.
• If your enchantments get stripped, don't worry, it's very likely that the enchantments are ready for recast, due to their low recharge time. The Earth Prayer enchants will be the primary enchantments to be kept up.
• Use Taste of Death as a fast Self-Heal (if there are any minions around).

Counters

• Enchant removal seems like an obvious counter. However, all enchants have a very small recharge (if not none) so it'll be very easy to reapply them in a short period of time.
• Your own allies might be the biggest counter. They don't want to get diseased, because that means they get a total of four pips of degen. Worst case scenario is that your allies leave, because there is a person on their side which uses a build that's not to their likings. This might trigger other allies to leave, leaving only a small group, that'll be likely to lose (even with this build on it's side).

Variants

• Use Putrid Flesh or Feast for the Dead as an alternative minion killer.
