Trait Details

Standard Soul Reaping traits to maintain the necro's DPS/support role and not lose life blasting damage

Standard Spite line traits except for a change in the minor trait "Bitter Chill." Combined with vulnerability from reaper's touch, well of suffering, and the passive trait death's embrace, a good amount of vulnerability stacks can be maintained on targets for an overall huge increase in DPS as a guild.

Curses trait line is chosen mainly for the chilling darkness minor to capitalize on well of darkness and plague. Master of corruption decreases your heal cooldown to 20s and plague to 2 minutes. If a round lasts long enough plague could hypothetically be used twice. As this build is focused around melee control, weakening shroud is a good grandmaster trait to bring to keep weakness on their melee stack during pushes.
