This build is not favored by the
GuildWiki community.
The general consensus among users of GuildWiki is that this
build is not viable.
This build was voted unfavored for the following reasons:
- Poor attribute point distribution
- Bad skill synergy

The Parasitic Shutdown is a powerful Necromancer build
designed to decrease the effectiveness of the opposing team.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
[edit] Equipment
- Begin by selecting a opposing melee'er and casting Faintheartedness, Price of
Failure, Life
Siphon, Malaise and
finally covering with Parasitic Bond. Your target will now be
suffering from 7 health degeneration, 2 energy degeneration
(negating all of a warriors energy regeneration) and a slowed
attack speed. Repeat the combo as necessary. Try to keep the hexes
on as many of the enemy's players as possible.
- Use Offering of Blood as energy management, and
Distortion as
defense agaisnt melee'ers.
- The combo (minus Price Of Failure) can be used on non-melee'ers
if required with some affect.
- Use Resurrection Signet to resurrect dead
team members.
[edit] Counters
- Strong hex removal can be annoying, but due to the quick
recharges of the skills, isn't effective.
- E-Denial.
- The standard caster counters (Backfire etc...).
[edit] Variants
- This build can be played effectively as a Me/N with 12 Blood Magic, 12 Curses and 7 Fast Casting
replacing Distortion with another skill.
- Distortion can be swapped out for another Curses skill, or
possibly Revealed
Hex/Inspired
Hex.
- This build was designed for Team Arena's.
This build isn't designed for damage, but to hinder the enemy's
melee'ers constantly and provide a decent amount of degeneration
for as long as required.
