[skill]Spiteful Spirit[/skill][skill]Arcane Echo[/skill][skill]Desecrate Enchantments[/skill] and then we have 5 skills to play with.
ofcourse you should take a [skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill].
Maybe spec something into blood and bring some support [skill]Blood Ritual[/skill].
[skill]Reckless Haste[/skill] might be good.
Well, there you already got 6, play around a bit with other skills to find something you like.

i was thinking more into feast of corruption than SS, i dunno i just like feast better. do you think i need anything like energy tap to recover energy faster or no?

Spec soul reaping high enough for energy management, maybe take glyph of lesser energy, and for feast of corruption, take [skill]Suffering[/skill] for AoE hexage and [skill]Parasitic Bond[/skill] for a cheap spammable hex and it even heals for quite a bit. And I'm not really into FoC build, but take some cheap spammable hexes.

Energy tap is useless. For non-elite energy management (on a N/Me anyway) Power Drain is ftw.

FoC is an extremely weak skill. If you insist on using it, Arcane Echo is a must. Why even take FoC when you can have:
[skill]Discord[/skill]

Running only Curses and Soul Reap (with whatever's left over in Death for Soul Feast, if desired):

[skill]Suffering[/skill][skill]Faintheartedness[/skill][skill]Enfeeble[/skill][skill]Wither[/skill] or [skill]Reaper's Mark[/skill] or [skill]Icy Veins[/skill][skill]Signet of Lost Souls[/skill][skill]Soul Feast[/skill][skill]Resurrect[/skill] or related skill

[skill]Wail of Doom[/skill] is a bit of nasty fun.

Possible substitutions (non-Nightfall skills): [skill]Weaken Armor[/skill][skill]Malaise[/skill][skill]Reckless Haste[/skill]with[skill]Price of Failure[/skill][skill]Rigor Mortis[/skill](good for Factions, I find)[skill]Enfeebling Blood[/skill] instead of Enfeeble for more degen goodness

[skill]Well of Silence[/skill] works very well in Nightfall.

You can trade out Soul Feast for Antidote Signet (ranger secondary) if you're in an area with a lot of Blinding and Poisoning.

Energy is less of a problem with Signet of Lost Souls, but if you don't have NF, you really shouldn't have much trouble, especially if you're using a max offhand and a +5^50 egy weapon. Of course, a good team helps immensely .

Trust me, this is a very useful little set-up (although, of course, it probably can be improved upon).
