This build is rather hard to pull off but can own if you are lucky - the major downside is that it relies on a large number of things (some out of your control)

Necro/Mesmer

Attributes:
Blood Magic: 14 (10+3+1)
Death Magic: 14 (11+3)
Soul Reaping: 13 (10+3)

Skills:
Dark Pact
Dark Aura
Vampiric Gaze
Animate bone horror
Dark Bond
Aura of the Lich {E}
Blood Renewal
Signet of Resurection

Equipment:
Take the fast minion summoning boots and the rest doesn't really matter as long as you have the three sup rune and no vigor rune.
Staff Enchants - last 20% longer and whatever you want on the other end except +life.

Stratergy
As soon as someone dies you need to get a Bone Horror up. Have Aura of the Lich already cast then cast Dark Bond and Finally Dark Aura. Use Dark Pact and Vampiric Gaze to attack. Blood ritual should also be cast as often as possible when you are taking damage.
This build can kill normal warriors 10vs1 if you have a few minions and they are not killed. You can be hit for no more than one or two damage per hit.
This is the same basic idea as the old 'Invincible' Smiting Monk (now nerfed a lot but still possible with modifications) but not really as good i think.
It only works if you have already killed somthing (hard on your own with so little life). If you do not have at least one minion and all of your enchantments running you haven't got a chance. This build is very hard to kill without enchantment removal if you don't kill the minions and quite funny to run once you get the hang of it. Blood necro's also screw you up.
I have not played it for about two months so it might not work anymore however i havent seen anything to suggest that it wouldn't.

Credit:This build was not my idea - one of my friends (I don't think he plays anymore) made. It may sound weird but it can be good.

Ye it is really good when it is done well - but hard to pull off

There's only 1 HUGE weakness in the build there...ok, two:

1.) Enchantment Removal
2.) Life Steal

Life Steal is not counted as damage, so it would not be reduced by Aura of the Lich ***or*** Dark Bond... a necro with rend enchantments and Vampiric Gaze would be very painful...

If you get lucky and there is no life steal or enchantment removal fighting you, you've effectively won.

What about degen?

You gan easily get 12-18 degen so even with blood renewal, you will still have about 6-10 pips of degen. Your -225hp means that degen is leathal very quickly.

Blow Up Doll · Apr 23, 2006, 01:34 PM // 13:34

yep - thats why i said the build relies on things - such as the enemy not having more than 6-7 degen to put on you + not much enchant removal (a shatter will just hit your renewal hopefully) + no life steal...
thats why this build is not so widely used - there are just far too many counters.

jummeth · Apr 23, 2006, 03:39 PM // 15:39

yea, desecrate will almost 1 hit kill also =/ 4 enchants?

having said that, depending on your team's make up, you might not be too high on the kill list since you are not running any active degens. Maybe it will be ignored until its too late.

Desecrate Enchantments deals shadow damage and it doesn't remove any enchantments.

Lingering Curse + dmg skill = POOF!

aura of lich
dark aura
touch of agony
wallow's bite
blood renewal
consume corpse
contemplation of purity
res

CoP will drop aura of the lich and get you back to full health if you're in a pinch.

Enchantment removals, or interrupts on the 2sec casts... I tend to always go for the necro first in PvP (because of the Blacklight build, so annoying)... They can be great if they don't catch attention.
