Does anyone here know any PvP build that uses Aura of the lich, any at all. Doesn't need to be Necro as primary, it can be a meleemancer, or a caster, any build at all.

3. blood renewal (neccesary)
4. death nova
5. touch of agony (neccesary)
6. dark pact (neccesary)
7. barbed sig
8. res sig

what more do you need?

look at the skill. you can use it for a MM build or for dark aura. you can try to fit it into something else where you will be sacrificing quite a bit but there will almost always be a better choice for your elite. it's in the death line after all. which kind of sucks.

the aoe from dark aura,toa/wollows bite/darkpact will cause monsters to scatter. but it's great in AB's and pvp in general with the right build around it.

Here is what I have now, N/Mo

AotL
Blood renewal
Dark aura
Touch of agony
Wallow's bite
Vamp touch
Comp of pureritiy (or whatever it's called) (emergency healing)
Consume corpse (for Hp and energy)

At aspenwood, I replace a skill with well of the profane, to stop that whole monks behind the door thing. In AB I may take Verata's aura for anti MM.

i take that same thing to AB and have a blast. leave out vamp touch imo, you do enough dmg already and it wont trigger dark aura. take plague touch instead. cheap and just a really great skill. or take some utility. you just don't need any more damage.

if you use this to cap and stay away from the big groups you'll run things.

Well they've covered all the AotL dark pact builds pretty much just one build in different order if you ask me.
Other than that theres AotL minion master. Pretty much just any minion build without golem and with AotL makes good for healing minions fast. Theres a few meleemancer builds with it too i could make some builds but i don't want to and i don't remember all the builds i've seen use it...

I use to do 2 mans with a 27hp invinci build (hence AotL)

obviously you take an SS nec with you... well it was a fun change up from soloing

also recommend the Dark Bomber build

and some people use AotL as there elite for MM builds

shatter's 25 second cooldown wont be on every mesmer's bar.

shatter's 25 second cooldown wont be on every mesmer's bar. Actually I was taking about the NPC mesmers. And there are normally 2 or 3 of them.
