Necromancer/Mesmer
Level: 20

Soul Reaping: 7 (6+1)
Blood Magic: 16 (12+4)
Curses: 12 (11+1)
Inspiration Magic: 8

- Vampiric Gaze (Blood Magic) <-- to pay for sacrifices
- Enfeebling Blood (Curses) <-- AoE weakness
- Oppressive gaze (Blood Magic) <-- 100+ AoE life steal
- Auspicious Incantation (Inspiration Magic) <-- to make Lingering Curse usable
- Lingering Curse [Elite] (Curses) <-- remove enchantment stacks, -50% healing reduction on target
- Parasitic Bond (Curses) <-- cover hex for Lingering Curse
- Well of Blood (Blood Magic) <-- 2 recharge corpse denial
- Sunspear Rebirth Signet <-- res

Sideboard:
- Mark of Fury (Blood Magic) swapped instead of Parasitic bond in a team with adrenaline users (warriors,paragons)
- Insidious Parasite (Curses) swapped instead of Parasitic bond to get more life steal
- Blood Ritual (Blood Magic) instead of Well of Blood when with a Minion Master

Thrown out:
- Life Siphon (Blood Magic) swapped instead of Parasitic Bond, since it takes too long to cover with

================================================== ========
Lingering Curse is a very interesting hex, since it reduces Healing by 50%. The only things that come close are Mark of Death and Defile Flesh. Malign Intervention cannot be cast on nonfleshy creatures so that's out.

i wouldn't recommend it in pve, healing denial is little to not useful, and you cant exactly spam it on each foe.
maybe insert SoLS? that would imply reducing blood by one/two and bumping soul reaping

ho and i see that AI becomes the new 25e spell friend!

In retrospect...I'm thinking Signet of corruption would be mighty nice, maybe dropping Auspicious Incantation entirely.
