Otherwise, a few points in inspiration and leech signet + power drain can be useful. Or consider less energy heavy skills and bring more signets.

Thumbs up on that point. I have given up my war henchie for her & energy has never been a problem again.

Actually, ever since I know AI has godly reflexes with interupt skills (or 3/4 skills for the matter), power drain & leech signet has been a staple in my heroes build if I can squeeze it in.

You don't need a tank. You never need a tank. Anywhere.

maybe I forgot to mention I was trying to do this in HM. I know you don't need a tank, but it makes things a hell of a lot easier.

I'd prefer to have one more DPS'r than a tank that wastes a party slot.

That's what Prot Spirit is for - you throw it on yourself and tank the first wave of damage in HM. You can drop the res sig on the MM for SoA if you need more prot.

Sab, you should get a commission from Anet. I only had Prophecy and EOTN (and wasn't planning on more) until I read your builds. I have now bought NF and will buy Factions this week to have all the heros and skills available to do Sabway!

Has anybody tried beating the Nightfall quest "The Troubled Keeper" with Sab's build? I've tried three times, and while neither me or any of my guys have died, the keeper does. All 5 times I've tried. I don't know if I'm just doing it wrong/suck horribly, or if theres some pattern to it that I don't know. (the character I'm using is a warrior, btw.)

Have you tried micro'ing your heroes to heal/prot the keeper? Have a prot spirit thrown on him and let your WoR necro focus his/her attention on just the keeper.

I have micro'd the prot spirit on him, yes. Not entirely sure how to micro the WoR necro, though.

Me and two friends just managed to get to the last part of the third wave, but...so many enemy healers. x_X (There was like 2 clerics and 3 or 4 words in just one group.)

My primary is a Necro. I have used a variant of SAB's and make myself go as FoC and I run something like this:

Suffering, Archane Echo, Feast of Corruption, Necrosis, Pain Inverter, Rez
For the last few sills work ins:
Desc Encthants, Delife Encths, Signet of Corruption, Ebon Std of Courage, Mind Bender

Nice Armor Ignoring Damage, and the FoC spike provides me a small heal as well. Mind bender cuts down on the seemingly long cast times of FoC, echo, etc. Playing my mez spoils me into thinks casting should = quick.

4 necro MANIA

I'm sorry if it was already posted, but could someone give me a template for this build?

Thanks

I should add that I posted the Healer's Boon bar before the change to HB, which turned it from a maintained enchant to one that lasts 10s at 0 DF. I don't know if it still works.
