It's redicolous imo.

Not only do you have to time it well. Theres an 80% chance it will get removed before you get healed.

I can never get the timing right. Sometimes (rarely because of the removal) I get it when I don't need it. And I never seem to get it when I most need it.

It gets removed. And 20 seconds that's a long time for it to get removed.

geez

It's main use is as a cover hex. You slap an important, high cost hex like Spiteful Spirit on the target, and cover it up with a cheap spammable hex like PB. No curses Necro should leave home without it.

Yep, it's a nice cover hex and a cheap self heal against non-strippers.

Parasitic Bond really is a godsend to the Necromancer. Cover Hex, Degen, Health, and Fun all rolled up into one!

geez This is... ignorance...

Parasitic Bond is maybe the most amazing necro hex- cheap, highly effective... others already mentioned the plethora of things this hex is useful for. There is more and I can surely go on bragging about PB till the cows come home (cover hex, probe hex, pressure hex, etc., etc.) but I see no point. I don't waste my time reasoning with clueless people.

I mean... really... complete.... ignorance...

Obviously it is ignorance, the person hasn't gotten to a level in game play where they need or understand cover hexes.

It's probably the best support Necro skill there is. It's a cover, quick to cast, cheap, and it gives you health when it is stripped.

Rather than knock you I will give you some advice...

When you get to points in the game where you start casting valuable hexes like Spiteful Spirit, and you notice that someone is stripping these hexes, try doing Spiteful Spirit followed by Parasitic Bond. Your SS will remain intacted.

it's also very spammable. in fact, it recharges faster than any hex removal, so it is technically possible to maintain it as a cover hex forever, all the while getting free hp.

PB is one of the best skills in the game.

PB is the only spammable hex I see that can cover the entire enemy team with low casting cost and STAY on the enemy team for God knows how long and uh, is good vs. any target that it can hit... [can't PB Spirits ;_;]

But yeah, if you're curses hex based and don't bring PB, you should stop whatever it is you're smoking this instant...

In my degen build I love running PB with Soul Barbs. You can spam that sucker and do some damage if your curses is high enough just by putting it on your target, but I agree with everyone else it is a great cover hex. A good idea is to switch through all possible enemy targets when casting it so you'll gain alot of health once its removal becomes inevitable.
