I was on here awhile ago and saw a post where someone had submitted a W/N necrosis spamming build using Crippling Slash as the elite, It didnt go over well apparently... So myself being intrigued by the idea put together my own W/N Necrosis spammer... Take a look

[Flail][Warriors Endurance{Elite}][Asuran Scan][Penetrating Chop][Necrosis][Power Attack][Furious Axe][Whirlwind Attack]

14 axe mastery
13 strength

This is pretty much the WE Axe build off of PvX, just switched up a bit and with Necrosis. To use, maintain Warriors Endurance and activate flail as soon as you can then use and maintain Asuran Scan on your target and spam your attack skills including Necrosis. Asuran Scan is perfect fodder for Necrosis. You could swap out Penetrating Chop for Dismember cause deep wound is one awesome condition, maybe also consider dropping a skill for Save Yourselves! if you feel the need. I'm Doing this with r10 SS, and I've only used it on the practice dummies in The Isle Of The Nameless, but what I've come to find out is that the damage dealt with Necrosis can easily be out done by another Power Attack, IMO the only thing Necrosis has going for it is that its Armor Ignoring. So.... what do you think? Plausible build or "OMG NOOB'' ?

Why bother? Like you said power attack does as much damage as necrosis, necrosis is a pretty nice pve skill but a necro build wouldn't ever exactly be built to spam it because it does less damage then discord, also dismember does more damage than necrosis.

You're probably spending too much time casting Necrosis and not enough time attacking to get the energy to spam Necrosis.

the concept is good but i don't find it very effective. you would be spending more time casting than attacking and you get the much needed energy from attacking.

Asuran Scan buffs physical DPS so much that spending 1.75s casting Necrosis would lower your damage.

yeah asuran scan and if you want to do dmg as a war just use a scythe and the broken kurz/lux title enchant that comes w/ it

It's not ever going to get to the point where it stands up as viable as Earth Shaker, DSlash, HB, etc, but I suppose it'd be ok if you were just messing around.

If you want damage, go w/d scythe. -> necrosis isn't worth the time.
I find that. Aura of Holy Might+Asuran Scan+By Ural's Hammer+Power attack+Zealous Sweep+victorious Sweep+Warriors Endurance+Body Blow = Serious dmg.
Using this with red/blue rock candy is rly awesome to run^^

Hi paradox.
A concept is bad when it isn't effective at it's job.
Therefore this concept is terrible.
