Avatar of Balthazar

Watchful Intervention

Apply Poison

Banishing Strike

Chilling Victory

Reap Impurities

Lyssa's Assault

Troll Unguent

[edit] Equipment

• Max armor with Survivor Insignias works well.
• Any max scythe with a max Enchanting grip.

[edit] Usage

• Cast Watchful Intervention before the battle starts.
• Use Avatar of Balthazar and Apply Poison just before running into battle.
• Use Reap Impurities, Chilling Victory and Lyssa's Assault on groups of foes. If there are any summoned creatures fighting you (which there often is in AB) use Chilling Victory and Banishing Strike against them.
• Reap Impurities and Troll Unguent are your main sources of healing.
• Lyssa's Assault should be used when energy is staying around 5-15 but you need to keep on attacking.
• Apply Poison will cause all your foes to be poisoned, and so the battle will be better for you and allow Reap Impurities to work well.
• If there are enemy minions or spirits around, Chilling Victory and Banishing Strike should be used against them although be warned that spirits and most minions are not affected by poison.

[edit] Counters

• Enchantment Removal.
• Scattered foes.

[edit] Variants

• For a less Minion-destroying focused build remove Banishing Strike and replace it with a more damaging or energy-saving skill. You may replace Avatar of Balthazar with Avatar of Lyssa for more energy.
• For a more Minion-destroying focused build get rid of Apply Poison and replace it with Serpent's Quickness.

[edit] Notes

• This build is also great against eliminating the annoying minions of MMs and the spirits of a Ritualist
