Curse

So, I've searched and can find absolutely NO builds for a N/As. Is it completely hopeless, has no one considered it, or is everyone just being quiet about it? I was thinking there could surely be some usefulness to a touch necro using either Shadow or Deadly Arts skills.

I'm just going through PvE, and have encountered very few problems with this build, though it needs work. Here is what I have so far (level 19 and only 1 15-point quest - 170 total)

Blood Magic - 13 (1 mask + 1 minor)
Soul Reaping - 8 (1 minor)
Deadly Arts - 8
Shadow Arts - 7

Skillbar

Enfeebling Touch (condition infliction)
Iron Palm (Damage/Knockdown/Interrupt)
Entangling Asp (Degen/Knockdown/Interrupt again)
Vampiric Touch (Self-sustainment/damage)
Rez
Well of Blood (degen counter)
Death's Charge (get in)
Heart of Shadow/Viper's Defense (get out)

This is all while using a staff or a wand/focus, not melee weapon. Energy is important, which is why I got Soul Reaping up that high.

If you have any ideas on a N/As, post it here. I'd like to see some others.

I have a N/A started... I like the synergy between the 2 classes.

I'll probably go with a build centered around discord or virulence. For example...

(+/- death's charge) - caltrops - virulence - soul feast - taste of pain - gaze/touch

I've been kicking around ideas for Iron Palm combos too. I definately like the idea of KD on conditioned/hexed target.

It would be something like...

Iron Palm, Mantis Touch, Discord[e], taste of pain, fetid ground, bitter chill, hex(es) = (life siphon / siphon speed / p bond / many potential)

The progression would be hex, hex, palm, mantis/fetid, discord spamfest...

I've been trying to think of a good way to get a blind in there so I can use signet of shadows. There might be a way to work in Blinding Powder somehow...

Iron Palm/Dark Prison/Dagger Spell - Mantis Touch - Blinding Powder - Signet of Shadows - Virulence/Discord

Probably too much assassin though...

I think the key to these types of builds will be to stay focused within a couple skill lines and minimize energy use. (True for all builds I guess - lol). I'll post some specific builds when I finish cooking them.

I have been used N/A for suicide bomb job, makes people confused and they just shout "wtf, omg" when they killed by your spikes.

Here is my build i use on RA/TA/HA :

Attributes: 16 Death, 15 Blood, rest Soul Reap.

Skillz:
Touch of Agony
Dark Pact
Signet of Agony
Offering of Blood [E]
Death Nova
Awaken the Blood
Dark Aura
Shadow Step / Deaths Charge

Stragedy:
When you go in battle, cast AtB -> Death Nova and Dark Aura on yourself. Then pick up target, like warrior or any caster, doesn't matter. Use shadow step to target and start to spam blood spikes till you death. Total dmg goes over to 500, depends your health (I use sup vigor and staff with +60 hp) So you can do much more spikes.
