I'm looking for an SS build for Imperial Sanctum mission

I am looking for a build for the Imperial Sanctum mission.

I have been pure MM up until now – but I don’t think that will help much in the final mission,

I’m assuming a SS/curses build will be the way to go.

I’ve capped SS and am looking at different builds

Any suggestions or links to build discussions would be appreciated

Any suggestions on weapons would help too

Thanks

This is the mission where you face Shiro right?

You want an SS vs Shiro?

Ok,

SS
Parasitic Bond
Barbs (assuming you have people who do physical damage)
Enfeeble/Blood Renewal
Faintheartedness
Price of Failure
Soul Barbs
Weaken Armor (again, if you do more physical damage)/Rez

Curse: 12
Blood: 12
Soul Reaping: 3

Add + runes and scar wherever.

Hope this helps.

this is more of an 'in general' build



you'll want a 20/20 curses weapon. you dont have to have it but it's very helpful. i got the stonereaper, 20 recharge/20 cast time and 20% +1 curses. i find that worth the 12 to 15 k you might spend on it. but you can have one crafted im sure.

i go mesmer secondary

arcane echo
SS
reckless haste
p bond
revealed hex
power drain
leech sig
res

but everyone will be different. i like to interrupt troll and other skills. power drain gives back a great deal of energy. i dont worry about anything but putting SS on everything. echo SS/throw reckless haste when you can.

you do not need to use arcane echo. i like it but many others like more utility in their build than I. if i'm running SS that's all I worry about. it and interrupts.

put SS on a target not called. you want it to last. if you throw it on the called target he'll be dead in 3 seconds and your a worthless necro.

For Shiro, all you need is:

SS and/or Empathy
Reckless Haste
Enfeeble

I've beaten Imperial Sanctum 3 times with Master's on my necro, all helping guildies.

N/Me
Curses: 16
distribute the rest however you want

Awaken the Blood
Spiteful Spirit
Reckless Haste
Price of Failure
Enfeeble
Spinal Shivers (don't forget to tell your teammates to take cold dmg)
Clumsiness
Star Servant (Celestial skill)

thanks for the information!
