I don't understand why you'd have BM though. I'd just keep it blank. But, if you're planning on switching builds on the fly...then that's cool too. =P

I'm guessing this is for PVE. But why bone horror? I'd say go with putrid explosion if you're not using a nearby corpse for soul feast. Minions are much more effective when you have the support skills for them (namely verata's sacrifice).

Use something less energy intensive. Rotting Flesh = crap...

Instead of Poison Arrow, which sux in my opinion, use Apply Poison Combined with Virulence. Though Virulence {E} says Disease and Weakness, it also has poison undocumented but it's fine. It reacts well with itself and at 14 energy total for this combo, it's much more energy efficient.

Virulence gives good conditions on a single target, whereas poison arrow gives conditions to everyone. So depends what you want. I think the recharge in virulence is 15 seconds, its not exactly spammable. Rotting flesh aint crap, but a possible combo would be apply poison and tainted flesh. Both are spammable condition spreaders, and it gives you both disease and poison for low energy costs.

Thx for all the suggestions;P The only reason thers 1 BM is cause i have a minor rune for it since runes of the same attrib dont stack
I read up on Putred Explosion and it does sound better than the bone line so ill swich out ABH for PE.
Im gonna try this build when i get to lvl 20 (only lvl 13 right now) and if my energy isnt working too well ill go ahead and try virulence/apply poison & tainted flesh to see which works best. Again thx for all the sugs




BTW Yukito Kunisaki your avatar is giving me a headach

His avatar doesn't mesh well with Firefox...

Anyways, don't diss rotting flesh. It owns mobs, and with poison stacked on top, everything will have 8 degen for a long time. It can really screw PVP teams without a martyr too.

I do agree on ditching poison arrow for apply poison though...
