I stumbled upon this phsychotic build while trying to find a better version of BlindNympho's(or whoeve originaly made it) "Dark Bomber(Invisi necro)".Since i had a hard time casting lich's aura without being inturrupted by axes, i started thinkin up ways to make a different build. i must've spend over 15k in testing in the UW but i descovered something.

Dark aura does ruffly 50 aoe, and BiP takes 5 mana, sacs 33%hp and has no cooldown and 1/4 a second casting time. If i could get a monk to cast mending/watchful and healing breeze on me i could spam BiP to him, bossting his regen by around +5, and doing around 200dmg A SECOND. obviously this is limited to how much energy youi have, but casting essence bond and balthazars spirit on yourself will provide you with much of the energy u need. This build leaves alot of things open though, like what other skils i should bring (currently rez sig, Blood renewal, protective spirit and barbed signet), and what skills the supporting monk should bring (spell breaker is a must, perhaps another PS too, SV, and some smite skills would be handy). I havnt worked out all the kinks yet-i hate it when ppl say that because it usualy means their build sux, but im confident once i get an experianced guildie to help me i can work out the bugs. so far trying to convince ppl to go to UW with me as the tank in a 2man smite run isnt working out.

BTW i call this build "The Reverse 2man Smite"

Firstly, this is the wrong place to post this. (Campfire would be best)

Second, you will not be able to get 4 BiPs away in a second.

Unless you use some kind of macro, there is no way you can get 4 BiPs off in a second. That aside, this sounds very interesting. If you manage to do it, please post a screenshot or video.

Just because it has a casting time of a quarter of a second does not mean you can cast it four times in one second. Every spell cast has a short (one second?) aftercast in which you cannot cast another spell.

aftercast is around .75s
it's the same reason why flareway sucks.

hm, oh yeah forgot about that patch. it came out when they nerfed putrid explosion right? so that would make it 50dmg a second instead. i could easily add in other low cooldown spells like death pact to counter this tho. lets c if any guildies r online.
