I run a slight variation that seems to fill a few gaps. For my SS Nec I switched a few lesser used Curses for 2 interrupts with energy gain. He always seemed to be the lowest on energy even with SR and losing Insidious Parasite, so this fills the gap. Not to mention its nice to have a few interrupts when needed, without gimping his main build.

[wiki]Angorodon's Gaze[/wiki] is a life steal that gives you 12 energy if your under a condition (Signet of Agony)
[wiki]Masochism[/wiki] gives you +4 energy whenever you sacrifice health (Blood Ritual, Signet of Agony)
It synergizes very well with itself.

I'm not 100% since its been awhile since I have upgraded my Nightfall hero armor. If I remember correctly itr upgrades the looks not the actual armor pieces themselves.
The initial cost cam be heavy since minor SR are going for 1.7k to 1.9k each. Trust me though, once you get your guys equiped it is well worth it.

Im beginning to feel that the elite space on the WoR healer could be better filled with another elite, for the big heals the necro has [skill=text]Spirit Light[/skill] and there is a contradiction with having 2 weapon spells on one bar.
So, why not replace the elite with [skill=text]Tainted Flesh[/skill]

because WoR is a good cheap heal that reverses damage?

i already have the SR rune on my mm hero and i also have the superior death magic one but one thing tat really confuses me is tat u said on ur other post to put 3+1 rune for death magic so people would assume tat the +1 is from the headset, but u also put 1+1 for blood magic so i'm confused as to make the headset blood magic or death magic

salvage the death magic rune off and put the minor blood rune on if you want to swap... although IMO blood kinda sucks so I'd just stick with death and run something else if there aren't corpses in the vicinity

Quoting myself from another post:
Runes: Tormenter's on chest and legs, Bloodstained on hands if running corpse spells, Survivors for the rest. Sup Death/Minor Curses on headpiece, Sup Vigor, Minor Soul Reaping, Vitae for the rest.
As for equipment, I'd suggest 40/40 Curses for the SS Nec, 40% HCT/20% Enchanting Death Staff for the MM, and 40/40 Resto for the healer (though he'll be holding a pot most of the time).
I usually set all my heroes on Guard.

well now i know all of the weapons but now my question is where i can easily get can the enchanting death magic staff

The whole point of 3x Necro's is the constant energy gain from Soul Reaping and minion/enemy death. You can substitute any Nec for whatever you like but you would lose that synergy.
I have been in fights with 10+ enemies and between Signet of Lost Souls and Soul Reaping the 3 Necro's rarely get below 25% energy. It's quite fun to watch their energy bars bounce up and down like crazy.

Not really, but if you are going to have to leave one of the necros out then scrap the WoR healer and take one of these dudes instead:
WoH hybrid:
[card]Word Of Healing[/card][card]Signet Of Rejuvenation[/card][card]Reversal Of Fortune[/card][card]Dismiss Condition[/card][card]Spirit Bond[/card][card]Aegis[/card][card]Resurrection Chant[/card]
Splinter Blindbot:
[card]Blinding Surge[/card][card]Splinter Weapon[/card][card]Ancestors' Rage[/card][card]Enervating Charge[/card][card]Glyph Of Lesser Energy[/card][card]Air Attunement[/card][card]Death Pact Signet[/card]
Cruel Spear Para:
[card]Cruel Spear[/card][card]Spear Of Lightning[/card][card]Disrupting Throw[/card][card]Epidemic[/card][card]"Go For The Eyes!"[/card][card]Anthem Of Flame[/card][card]Signet Of Return[/card]
Defensive Anthem Para:
[card]Spear Of Lightning[/card][card]Barbed Spear[/card][card]Disrupting Throw[/card][card]Anthem Of Flame[/card][card]Aria Of Restoration[/card][card]Defensive Anthem[/card][card]Ballad Of Restoration[/card][card]Signet Of Return[/card]

There is actually no contradiction. The AI for weapon spells has greatly improved. They can differentiate between defensive & offensive weapon spells & they know the priorities for those spells so they won't cast it on the same person in a very short span of time. Or this is what I noticed when I run them.

I've also been thinking about replacing WoR. I've been paying attention to its usage (I have the hero skill bar out) and I've noticed that the hero doesn't use it much. Maybe because it's only triggered when there's a condition on a party member, which the hero/hench monks usually take care quite fast (godlike condition removal ftw...).
So I've been experimenting with what elite I should bring, I tried the Spirit Light Wep, it was meh...good heals but not really needed unless you aggro wrong. I tried Caretaker's Charge, it was meh too, not enough damage and the hero doesn't really run out of energy. The Tainted Flesh idea is interesting, but you would have to put points on Death Magic to make it worthwhile, and for just 1 skill? Also I carry Rotting Flesh on my MM hero.
My question is, what to bring instead of WoR? Suggestions pls?

Thats as a maybe, but if a frontline player has splinter on them, will they not cast Weapon of Remedy on that player and ignore the player that may need to heal/condition removal? or will they overwrite the Splinter with the WoR?
Either way its not quite optimum.

Try Icy Veins . Your healer Nec should still have a 10 - 12 SR. I will try it tonight and see if Livia spams Icy Veins over heals.
I have tried Offering of Spirit but find it sort of useless with SoLS and SR, they usually don't need emergency energy in most fights.

dont bother hero ai with icy is terrible, they will usually only try to use it to finish off a low health target, which oftentimes just causes the spell to fizzle.
