Default [6MAN] Degen-Holding

So - no idea if this works, obviously. The idea is to have just enough degen and pressure to break a team - while having very good holding capabilities simply in the form of interrupts. The build should also handle relic runs quite well

Seeking Arrows and PD for the 2 seperate ghostlies in HoH.

Eviscerate [Elite] (Axe Mastery)
Executioner's Strike (Axe Mastery)
Frenzy (Warrior other)
Sprint (Strength)
Resurrection Signet ()

Fast Casting: 9 (8+1)
Domination Magic: 3 (2+1)
Inspiration Magic: 14 (10+4)

Price of Failure (Curses)
Conjure Phantasm(Illusion Magic)
Images of Remorse (Illusion Magic)
Resurrection Signet ()
Power Drain (Inspiration Magic)
Psychic Distraction [Elite] (Domination Magic)

- carries corpse control
- PD for altar maps
- spread conjure and images on the enemy team powered by a very powerful spirit/price of failre energy management and power drain.
- if there's not many teams using profane and the likes over the weekend it would probably be safe to drop CC for Distortion. Maybe do that anyway, idk, not tested it yet

Wilderness Survival: 9 (8+1)

- So this is a weird one.
- PS - Seeking is obviously for ghostlies/spirit spammers
- Spread poison degen around the enemy team using your interrupts to do it faster
- Interrupt key skills like Heal Party and Hex Removals.
- Inscriptions - Humility can be used on skills that would hurt your build such as Expel Hexes, Blessed Light, and Empathatic Removal
- Inscriptions - Humility can also be used on Practiced Stances and Psychic Distractions to assist your ghostly hero in capping.

If you like winning halls, you'll probably want a Ward of Stability. I would replace Windborne Speed for it.

that curses necro needs life siphon to counter malaise and oob without draining his monks. I suggest replacing suffering for it

My idea was the para bond would do that - being a 100+ heal every 20 seconds or so.

noted on the stability

I don't like suffering. I'd redo the attributes on the necro to get more in blood and less in curses, and go with life siphon instead of suffering.

Looks pretty good though.

swap cc on the mesmer for a stability ward (so it will be a me/e)
well , you gonna be a bit low on energy management on the mesmer but its still much better than not having stab or wb
you need wb too if you wanna get to the hall of heroes :P

You can win relic runs without WindBorne. For broken, if you let them cap before your team is dead something is wrong...
