A Spoil Victor Necro can be a deadly opponent. The build is
extremely versatile, as it can be effectively used to kill
physicals, offensive casters, and healers. The purpose is to reduce
the health of your targets to a point where they are extremely
vulnerable, and then to finish them off with minor spike damage.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
The build is fairly straight-forward.
The fast recharge of all the skills, combined with long duration
allows you to actually spread the hexes around. You can easily
maintain the combination of Life Siphon, Spoil Victor, and
Parasitic Bond on up to 2 targets at a time. A good idea would be
to spam Life Siphon over all targets available, for a nice hefty
health regeneration for a good 20 seconds. Obviously, make sure you
make good use of Signet of Lost Souls for energy management
purposes.

[edit] Variants
Good skills to use in the Optional slot are:
- Blood
Renewal for self-healing purposes, esp. in RA, AB. Blood
Renewal has another benefit- if you are the target of a foe
suffering from Spoil Victor, the life sacrifice will often times
push your health below that foe's health, allowing for Spoil Victor
to trigger more often, while the health regeneration and the major
heal at the end will allow you to soak up damage.
- Damage buffers like Awaken the Blood
- Additional Blood spike skills such as Vampiric Gaze, Barbed Signet,
etc.
- Support skills such as Draw Conditions, Aegis, etc. (Monk secondary)
- Arcane Echo
to duplicate Spoil Victor and spread it around more rapidly.
(Mesmer secondary)
- Scourge
Healing, if you take 2 points out of Soul Reaping and add 9 to
Smiting Prayers, to pressure enemy monks.
Alternatively, you can replace Shadow Strike with another
similar Blood spike skill, Life Siphon with another degen hex,
Parasitic Bond with another cover hex, etc.
- The effectiveness of this build increases the more rapidly the
target unloads its attacks or spells on a creature with less
health. For example, Assassins with their fast and damaging skill
combos will trigger Spoil Victor multiple times. Elementalists
casting Stone
Daggers to maintain their defenses, or Monks using Reversal of
Fortune are also good examples.
- The effectiveness of this build also increases the more health
your target has. In a GvG/HA setting the Guild Lord or the Ghostly Hero are
perfect targets. Same goes for targets under the effect of
health-buffing Enchantments such as Vital Boon.
- AoE attacks such as Dervish scythe attacks or Cyclone Axe will
trigger on every target hit by the AoE attack that has less health
than the attacker.
- Also note that bosses and powerful enemies in PvE (such as
Shiro) are extremely vulnerable to Spoil Victor because of their
huge reserves of health (Shiro has approximately 6300.)
