Summary

My first build, I decided to build something that has decent survivability. 1v1 you will be able to stand a while before anyone takes you out, if they can; group fights can get dangerous if you get stuck in the middle and CCed a lot. Just remember, never press F1, let your shroud activate automatically.

Weapon and Skill Details

Your main weapon is your staff, marks will generate the majority of your life force. Run daggers if you're caught in melee, and use Charge, Rigor Mortis, and Dark Pact as you run. You can swap out Signet of Spite for Spectral armor if you feel you get into melee more often than not, or Signet of Undeath for extra utility and Life Force generation.

    • Transfusion
      Shroud skill 4 heals and partially revives nearby allies. Additionally you teleport up to 5 nearby downed allies to your location while channeling this skill.

Trait Details

The absolute necessity to this build is Unholy Sanctuary, followed closely by Soul Marks and Vital Persistence. The point is to let yourself get taken down the 32k health and get forced into Shroud, where you should have another 25k Life Force to live off of. I switch out Necromantic Corruption for Deadly Struggle, and Death Perception for Dhuumfire every now and then, personally.
