A Wither Necro uses Curses for powerful energy denial as well as
shutting down most opponents.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
[edit] Equipment
- Radiant Insignias are recommended.
- An Insightful Staff of Fortitude.
- Find a spellcaster, and use Wither, Malaise, Mind Wrack and Parasitic Bond on them. They will have
-2 energy degeneration, and will take massive damage if their
energy reaches 0.
- If there aren't any other spellcasters, use the combo on a
semi-caster (such as a dervish or assassin).
- Use Energy
Burn to add additional pressure, or to trigger your hexes if
you think an enemy is on low energy.
- Use Signet of Lost Souls whenever possible for energy
management.
- If you see an enemy take damage from your hexes, reapply
them.
[edit] Counters
- Light hex removal will not really hamper you, as all of your
hexes have a recharge time of 10 seconds or less. Heavy hex removal
such as Convert
Hexes will work, but your target will take damage from Wither
and Malaise ending.
- Anti-caster hexes still apply.
[edit] Variants
- Spirit
Shackles may be used for effective energy denial. However, this
requires you to move your points in Soul Reaping into Inspiration
Magic and replace Signet of Lost Souls.
- Energy Burn and Faintheartedness can be used to shutdown melee
characters.
