I like death pact for 8 player groups as long as you only have 1-2 people bring it. The guys with it can go rezbot like crazy since it casts and recharges superfast and bring back an entire team pretty quickly.

And if you die because someone dies that you had rezed with it you don't get a DP. For my Hero teams I usually just run Sabway. Seems easy enough. Good ol' PvE on autopilot.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Lol, yeah...I don't really see a nerf coming, it's just synergy o.o

Been running Sabs lately, also.

Sabway is mostly what I run, but for different areas I will switch it up. One of my favourite combos is Sabs healer necro, a PD mes and whatever I feel like. Its all good fun.

My standard H/H build: Splinter-barrage ranger, Searing flames ele (+ maelstrom), and a Minionmaster ritualist. Plus me as an Ursan tank. Sprinkle with henches to taste, or replace ranger with a hybrid WoH monk.
Sometimes I have the ranger bring Quickening Zephyr and/or Conflagration, for extra damage, but usually I can't be bothered micromanaging spirits.

Suggested henches to round out the team: 2 monks, earth mage, and any interrupter.

Even if they did (and they won't) you could always just drop the SS in favor of a different damage dealer and it'd still work pretty well.

Generally it depends on the place... monks run ZB, WoH, HB, SoD, or RC, necros run SS nuker or Golem Minion Master, elementalists run SH or SF, ritualists run WoQ, fighters don't get used, assassins don't get used, rangers run BA or BHA or SpBa, etc.

Usually I run as a shutdown or spike character; I let the heroes and henchmen handle the general rabble while I take out important enemies such as bosses and healers. Hence I don't do so well in pickup groups since my tactics are geared towards battlefield control and that can't be done with a pickup group.

Try running it and you'll quickly understand why the SR timer does not need to be removed from the game. A JB bomber or two is sufficient to give an entire party of necros functionally infinite energy no matter what they're running. From there it's just a matter of properly capitalizing on the egregious abusability of soul reaping.

When using my Me, I like to use a 3 Me team using Dom Gwen and Illu Norgu. All 3 of us have tons of spells that drain enemy energy. Then Gwen uses Aneurysm. Between Gwen and I, we have tons of armor ignoring AOE damage. We have enough spells to shut down a caster, while Norgu has enough spells to shut down any physical attacks.

With my N, I like to use a combo of 4 N's. I'm set to mostly spam Necrotic along with Soul Leech for casters and other life sucking damage. Livia with Curse (SS, weakness, Barbs for minions, etc.), Whispers going Blood (with Blood is Power and other life sucking, armor ignoring damage), and Olias as MM. Lots of damage while reducing enemy damage.

My Rt and Xandra combo. I go Channeling and spam spirits (Vampirism, Bloodsong, Agony, and Fury) along with Painful Bond. Xandra goes fully Communing with all spirits.

When using my A, I take Zenmai and Anton along with Tahlkora. Tahlkora keeps up Strength of Honor on 3 A's and another melee hench for tons of damage.

Dude, just to let you know, that really needs work, it's not all that good.

For what I use though, I run the Triple Necro (or as some people call it, Sabway). Vanquishing while watching TV and eating is fun.

Usually run sab's necros, but a N/Mo WoH as the healer.

And sometimes I spice it up by dropping the SS/MM and adding my Support P/x Hayda and a SH Vekk (I almost REFUSE to use SF)

Yes, I am setting up Sabway now... I had never "gained olias" but I guess I will for the Sabway build.

Kudos to Sab for sharing the Sab-way build!!

For those who started late in the thread, Sabway is a 3 necro hero build. (For a link to the Sabway build see the post at the top of page 2 of this thread. This thread only describes the Sabway build briefly.)

[Sorry, I realize I've mentioned Sabway a couple times. I didn't mean to make anyone's head explode.]
