12 + 3 + 1 Death magic
3 + 1 Soul reaping
9 +3 blood
9 Fire magic

Very fun in places like Fort Aspenwood. Target groups of chars or NPCs run in and explode. If you happen to have a MM on your team you can sync up with him and use BoTM to heal his minions before you explode.

**edit** updated build - this seems to be the best choice for FA. You can use Verata's to shutdown a MM foe as well. I found I didn't really use Foul Feast much (not enough time really).

While it looks fun and novel...your attributes are a lie, sir, a lie!. If you have 12 Death and 12 Fire you can only have 3 Soul Reaping, not 5.

Also, I don't really think Fire Magic would be worth 12 points really....stick more in Soul Reaping and Blood Magic (for more damage from Signet of Agony - though I realise it's there primarily for the bleeding) and leave Fire Magic pretty low.

I certainly hope so. I always thought i was the only one to know the ancient secret of attribute duping!

I was thinking about another build for a suicide builder. One that would do insane PBAOE damage. Here is how it goes:

[build= OASiUwiMhGIMRs5N54oAe6AAAA]

Last is Optional

Usage:
self enchant with death nova
pre-cast Cruel was Daoshen
cast Spirit Rift at target group
run towards them cast Destructive was Glaive [this drops the previous ashes]
cast Ancestors Rage
If you have time to cast PB and RB before u die good
if not try to cast Cruel was Daoshen a second time. This drops the Destructive ashes and when u die u spike with both Death Nova and the last ashes you were carrying

If you take [Lively was Naomei] you can really freak out the less experienced players.

Now, do you actually mean "3 + 3"?

Because that's 2 superior runes.

Are you sure you don't mean "3 + 1"?

I guess the 2 superiors let you die quicker...but...will they make you die too fast?

Yes I was running dual superiors. The point is to die after all, although the soul reaping attribute really doesn't do too much for you in this build particularly in FA because you should have enough energy to suicide and you will be auto-rezed with full E.

Also, [touch of agony] should replace [blood of the master]

Seems ok.. This is a pretty horribly build to blindly charge into battle head first with (especially once they've seen it). It requires some strategy on it's use to be effective. Attack a group fightining from behind or ones without a monk nearby, etc.

I know you'd lose the burning, but what about a shadowstep to reach your foes? It could help them not see it coming.

I definitely agree with the Touch of Agony suggestion.

lol been seeing an awful lot of these this weekend at FA.
