Has anyone tried somethin like this? For some reason, I never thought about doing it. I made a pvp char to test it out on the wooden targets outside the pvp isle.....this is what I've come up with so far for Olias and Whispers...

They're definitely good at this. They start with Deathly Chill. Assuming you're on a Nec, if you join them in using this skill that's already 150 armor ignorning damage, not even including the cold damage. After that, they'll cast Enfeeble and Para Bond both at the same time, followed by Discord. If you use Discord too, that's 345 armor ignoring damage (at 16 death). They can kill single targets and jump to the next target very fast but they still lacked aoe damage so I tried out Putrid Explosion. They're also good with this - they'll use it only if it's guaranteed to hit something, so you can probably already imagine in pve, 126dmg in a nearby range less than every 5 seconds. One of the most effective things that I found is that it requires very little energy and skills, an doesn't even use a 2ndary prof so you have a huge variety of other skills and attributes to use your points on. Even with as little as 6 points in Earth, 3 necs can keep up permanant Wards. Also, don't forget about the good ol' Aegis chain

Just wanted to share the idea, and see if maybe some of the people here can give good suggestions to add on since the build is obviously incomplete

Actually the concept was exploited for GvG use a while ago, resulting in a nerf to discord.

This isn't the popular or really a good version of the build (all those venge+wardings for example ) but it gives you the idea. So yeah it works, not as well as it used to. The central feature of the build is to ensure you control the conditional aspect yourself using toxic chill for the condition, to coordinate the spike.

Nerfs are no fun. I need to get myself some fastcast equipment to bring Discord back to it's 1sec cast

After testing the build in some random missions, it seems heroes are a little weird with applying the hex/condition to real enemies rather than wooden targets I put Enfeeble on my bar since they sometimes target a random enemy with it. Other than that, Deathly Chill is the first thing they use on a target and it does nice damage. In the Consulate docks mission, Putrid explosion completely wiped bunched up mobs (I had it equipped too).
