This build has been successfully vetted by the GuildWiki community according to the vetting procedure. This build has been designed for the following use: PvP-HA

This Necro is designed to hinder and control the enemy team using hexes that counter common builds found in HA & GvG. It works best in a team build that includes multiple hexers to make sure that the hexes will not be removed. This build is also best in a pressure build in order to take advantage of the energy denial it creates. This build is easy to adjust to suit any PvP arena.

Equipment

• Scar Pattern or Revenant's Armor.
• A PvP Insightful Accursed Staff Of Enchanting is suggested

Usage

• Ideally, other hexes from other teammates help keep your hexes from standing out and from being removed too quickly.
• Always cover your hexes with Parasitic Bond.
• Be selective when using Depravity. Monks are a prime target, but often carry at least 1 hex protection skill. Mesmers are also good targets due to their fast casting.
• Use Rip Enchantment to remove critical enchantments (typically before a spike)
• Use Blood Ritual on your monks when necessary.

Counters

• Interrupts
• Nature's Renewal
• Energy Denial
• Divert Hexes, Expel Hexes, etc

Variants

• Exchange Gift of Health for another monk support skill or for a self-healing skill.
• Exchange Shadow of Fear for Faintheartedness (suggested for RA/TA).
• Wither and Malaise.
• Exchange Rip Enchantment for Consume Corpse (suggested for HA).
• Exchange Res Sig for Resurrection Chant.

This build requires all 3 campaigns.
