I've recently thought of this build while wondering how to farm Sskai with a Necro.

N/Rt

Blood: 12 + 3 + 1
Communing: 12
Soul Reaping: 3 (+1, optional)

The skill set is only really requires:
Binding Chains
Vampiric Touch
Vampiric Bite

I also use:
Offering of Blood {e}
Life Siphon
Vampiric Gaze
Demonic Flesh
Blood Renewal

How this build works is, because Life Stealing isn't damage, it doesnt end Binding Chains and Binding Chains doesn't allow Sskai to attack. Of course you would need a small team of N's and Rt's, N's to do the life stealing, and the Rt's to keep Binding Chains up.

Perhaps Blood is Power would fit too, if you had multiple N's, or even Grenth's Balance because of Sskai's very high life. Degen also would fit nicely into this team.

The main problems I've found is that a lot of life stealing is necessary, so Binding Chains needs to be kept up, and it has a much longer recharge than duration, thus requiring two Rt's or perhaps one with mesmer secondary and Arcane Echo.

Please, any improvements? Comments? Thanks

If you need multiple necro's for this build, its worthless seeing how monk warrior mesmer necro and possibly assassin can solo him.

The only problem I have with this build is that it requires a team of necros. Why not just farm him solo with this:

You can make the run in under 5 minutes and you don't have to share any drops.

Thanks for the input, just thought it was interesting, and it's what I can do with my current skills, I'll check out that other build.

Try this- a mesmer with rit secondary,
Binding Chains
Conjure Phantasm
Conjure Nightmare
Arcane Echo
Mantra of Recovery(E)
Some other stuff

You can basically cast binding chains anytime, because of the mantra and the echo. Just degen him to death then. You could even try Bloodsong, because it steals life, and doesnt deal damage. Vengeful Weapon works too.

So you can solo him, i guess. You probably wont have too much damage output though.
