Curse

this is for my necro/mes hero:
SS
barbs
shadow of fear
weaken armor
enfeeble
epidemic
signet of lost souls
rez
12 soul reaping, 16 curses

the idea is to spread conditions, so...could it be better?

Well, apart from subbing Shadow of Fear for Reckless Haste, Enfeeble for Enfeebling blood, and swapping the sup Curses rune for a minor, it looks pretty good.

The reason for getting rid of shadow of fear is that it works contrary to SS, you will want to speed up the speed with which they attack in order to get more out of it as an elite. Don't worry about their increased attack speed, enfeebling blood will turn them into kittens and the secondary effect of 25% chance to miss will turn any melee into a walk in the park.

oh hey, you're absolutely right. i'll definitely give it a twirl. cept, since i was crazy enough to give my hero a sup vigor rune and survivor insignias etc etc, i'm gonna see how well she works with that -75 health loss. but yeah, what was i thinking? of course i should want to speed up the enemies' attacks!

Yeah distilled mostly summed it up. SS with Shadow of Fear just = less damage. Reckless definitely.

Enfeebling blood will do the same thing as enfeeble+epidemic, so with that free slot you could throw in some low level animate bone minions to put that barbs to work, maybe take 1-2 out of soul reaping since the minions will contribute to the total soul reaping benefit as well as they die.

Gift3d, that's if he/she/it doesn't run another necro or uses a necro him/her/itself.

Otherwise, I'd say Rip enchantment in the optional slot, for the annoying monk bosses (Especially in HM)

If the idea its to spread conditions .... maybe [weaken armor] + [virulence] + [epidemic].

If you have another necro in your party ... maybe you can run a standard SS build(with [enfeebling blood] and [weaken armor])
and have a hero MM with virulence + epidemic ... or you can put the [epidemic]
on a ranger ([broad head arrow]+ [volley]). This way .... you can spread lots of conditions.

The ranger its optional .... if the area is melee heavy ... run a e\rt blindbot chaneller
to spread blindness

Necro Hero

I recommend this site: PvXWiki.
It has a wide selection of builds and rates them too.
