I got this idea from the AotL Farmer, but now that Spirit Bond is in, we don't need AotL anymore.

Also, thank you to Kcp for his awesome work with the Necromancer, and for his great UW/FoW Farmers.

Equipment
You will want Shing Jea Cabalist's armor. Weapon wise you will want an axe/sword with energy +5 and 20% longer enchantments. You will also want a 20/20 Blood Magic offhand, and a 20/20 Death Magic wand that is customized. Also make sure that all of your armor pieces have superior runes on them, so you have 105 health.

Attributes
10+3 (13) Blood Magic
11+3+1 (15) Death Magic
1+3 (4) Soul Reaping
10 Protection Prayers

Skills
1. Protective Spirit
2. Spirit Bond
3. Tainted Flesh [E]
4. Dark Aura
5. Touch of Agony or Wallow's Bite
6. Putrid Explosion
7. Essence Bond
8. Balthazar's Spirit

I tested this build on trolls and minotaurs, and it worked great. I think that this build could work in the Underworld, but as we don't have favor at the moment, I can't test it out.

I imagine it is slower than 55 though?
Interesting build anyway.

It's actually pretty fast. I'm working on the video right now, so people can see it in action.

I'd imagine it should work pretty well with the degen and dark aura, you dont have anything to trigger flee either with 1 sac skill. First corpse down and all should die from putrid explosion and the dark aura damage.

It should work in the UW. There used to be a necro smiter 55 with tainted flesh as elite back before they nerfed balth aura.

Are there any fast casting blood/death skills that will KO a nightmare? They have ~100 health.

Nice build, only I can possiblykill them quicker with my SS spirit bonder:

between 20 secs and one minute for all trolls.

Oh and by the way: it wouldn't work for the underworld, I've tried spirit bonding there, but a lot of monsters simply do no trigger spirit bond.

But I believe there is a hybrid 55hp/SB somewhere on this forums.

Spirit Bonding works, but Nightmares would be pretty much a high stake gamble down there. Apart from that everything else should be pretty much a walk in the park down there.

Interesting build, but I think the Mo/E or E/Mo burning speed build would be more efficient, especially in UW. Putrid explosion is nice in theory except that most enemies die at about the same time, so it could only help clear any lone stragglers. Also since Aatxes have a natural +3 health regen you would be doing a net degen of -1 to them. Also this takes up your elite, so Spell Breaker is not an option to counter Nightmares. Even if this did more damage than a Mo/E or E/Mo, you still risk getting skull cracked back to ToA if you have no visage on you to prevent interupts.

*edit* ignore the idiot, somehow I didn't see Touch of Agony with Dark Aura on your bar, lol. I withdraw my criticism up to the vulnerability to interupts for use of this in UW.

Grasping shouldn't kill this build because of not doing enough damage, especially if you take them with Aatxes who will most definately do enough damage.

Either way you face many interupts, however if you face Graspings alone, you risk not taking enough damage, so it's really a risk either way. You can usually recast if interupted by Savage Slash or Disrtracting Blow, but the real threat is Skull Crack.

The real lesson here is that solo builds without Visage tend to rely greatly on luck since enemies can still interupt 1/4 second spells regardless of the soloist's actions.
