Im tired of running the boring old SS. What are some fun effective curse elites that I could look into?

Depends on what you want to build for.

FoC and Sig of Suffering are wonderful spike skills, both fairly easy and straightforward to use. FoC you use Suffering or some similar AoE Hex (Shadow of Fear, for example); Sig of Suffering you use on a Soul Barbs chain of hexes- stack 3 on top of SB and spike with SoS.

Order of Apostasy is the ultimate Ench killer in large team PvP (esp. AB). It's best combined with GoLE to reduce the cost. OoA is a great support skill, if you are playing a support kind of Necro. And speaking of 25 nrg spells Lingering Curse is a very powerful skill but you gotta use it with caution. In their fear that LC will be too powerful, the devs have kept it fairly costly (in more than one way) but just recently the cast time was reduced to 2 and least that was taken care of. Again, as with OoA, LC works great with GoLE.

Wither and Corrupt Ench are alright degen hexes but both are inferior to Reaper's Mark. As a matter of fact, RM is my elite of choice when running most any Curses build- it's just less situational and very versatile.

The rest is fairly mediocre.

P.S. Please remember to cover up your hexes with Parasitic Bond, if you don't, you risk removal. Consult your doctor if problem persists.

RM wouldn't remove healing breeze, which would completely counter the hex assuming the target is at least getting 5-6 regen. The power of Corrupt is it removes an enchantment. Healing breeze is easily one of the most popular 2ndary self-heals (at least from what I've seen, in AB-type battles). I use corrupt sometimes.....yeah it's conditional, but you only gotta remove an enchantment, and it's not hard at all to find an enchanted person.

I'm not dissing CE. I'm simply saying RM seems less conditional that either CE or Wither. I actually like CE. But I think they should've left it the way it was.
