• this build does not peform particularly well with single-target situations, as "Rise!" ultimately fuels much of the damage in this build.

Notes

• Spawn all minions to distract enemies
• Go into Reaper's Shroud, drop an ice field with Executioner's Scythe
• Use Soul Spiral in the ice field
• When out of shroud, use "Rise!" when you can hit at least 3 enemies, and then build life force
• When your minions die, they will spawn poison fields due to Death Nova. Poison application also grants Carapace as well as causing some damage and inhibiting enemy healing.
• Try to combo Soul Spiral in the poison fields to create additional poison bolts
• Use the Bone Minion's flipover skill, Putrid Explosion, to quickly generate fields. This is also a blast finisher.

Open World Tagging

• If you're in a large group PvE environment, swap to staff to tag lots of targets
• With Transfusion traited, staff will buff all allies. This includes your minions
• Staff also brings more opportunites to inflict bleeding to proc Blood Bond, essentially giving life steal to allies

Condition Cleanse

• Swap Deadly Strength to Necromantic Corruption to allow your minions to strip conditions from you and transfer them to enemies. This is incredibly good in high condi fights like Slothasar. Note that each minion has an independent 10 second cooldown. Mass minion summons like "Rise!" will stack those cooldowns, so it can be advantageous to spread other summons out if possible.

Crowd Control

You have many options:

• Nightfall (Greatword 4)
• Grasping Darkness (Greatsword 5)
• Chillblains (Staff 3)
• Reaper's Mark (Staff 5)
• Executioner's Scythe (Shroud 5)
• Terrify (Shroud 3 flipover)
• Charge (Flesh Golem flipover)
• Haunt (Shadow Fiend flipover)
