Ok, this is just minor condition build+shadow AoE damage. The reason there are 2 healers instead of 2 protectors - is because "player 4" will be suffering a lot of ... hm, hp steal from Dark Aura.

Looking for suggestions and I will surely answer any question regarding this build.

Also, build is not supported for 4-4 grouping... so this might be better build for HoH that a GvG.

Is there no replies because there is no suggestions to be made or because no one understands what I'm talking about?

eh, it's a team aura build. I don't like the back-lines necro build though. Definitely take off dark aura from him for, i don't know, a secondary skill or for another direct attack.

y sprint u got no strength.
and u might kill #4 cause if he does consumne corpse and get out of the range of the monk he will die cause of #1 #2 and #3
and dark aura is for ppl around that necro so if u do ritual, offering, or dark pact while no one is around u might just be killing #4 for kiks.
and is 5 suppose to be a runner or a trapper or some mix?
also wat happens if 2 monks infuse #3 at same time wouldnt that just weaken both?

No, this necro don't need any other direct attacking skill, he is here to strengthen other necros, not to add some silly damage from a direct spell.

And since I don't want to waste elite on "Charge!", gotta use what you got.

#4 can die, anyone can die if it's a complete idiot who's playing it. Why would you use consume corpse if you see it's far away... and anyway - since it only works on agro radar distance, you just need to keep close to monks, you can't teleport away that much.
Yea, I know about Dark pact, that's why there's cripple on every necro.
About Blood Ritual and Offering: I think that would be worth -21 hp, since the energy you get is greater by alot.

#5 - both, so it means mix.

One monk infuses party members from 1 to 4, another infuses from 5 to 8. The order in which I wrote the party members is wrong, but I was too lazy to change it.
Btw, it's the same with Blood Ritual necromancers: one necro feeds energy to healers, another does the same for protector, trapper and Dark aura necro.

Hm, any other suggestions?

It's kinda funny how I get almost the minimal amount of replies when I post 8vs8 builds... be that really popular forum or guild's forum.
