Equipment[]

  • Possible Weapon set options:
  • Best Vigor rune possible and superior Spawning Power. All other minor runes to conserve health.
  • Survivor or Radiant Insignia. Runes of Vitae and/or Attunement are also recommended.

Usage[]

<pvxbig>

  • Keep Boon of Creation [[Boon of Creation] and Explosive Growth [[Explosive Growth] up when creating minions.
  • Use Animate Flesh Golem [[Animate Flesh Golem] when you do not have one.
  • Use Aura of the Lich [[Aura of the Lich] once you have a significant number of corpses.
  • Use Jagged Bones [[Jagged Bones] to ensure your suicide bombers are reborn.
  • Use Animate Bone Minions [[Animate Bone Minions] when you already have a Flesh Golem. This doubles the Explosive Growth damage and provides two targets for Death Nova [[Death Nova]. With Boon of Creation, this skill almost entirely recovers its energy cost upon successful cast.
  • Use Blood of the Master [[Blood of the Master] to keep minions alive between battles.
  • Use Death Nova [[Death Nova] on yourself as a cover enchantment in disenchantment-heavy areas.

Counters[]

  • Enchantment removal.
  • Corpse denial, including faster-casting Well spells.
  • Holy Damage, which causes double damage against undead creatures.
  • High-powered Area of Effect damage, easily dispatching the low-level minions before they come into Death Nova range.

Variants[]

<pvxbig>

  • Use Animate Shambling Horror [[Animate Shambling Horror] and/or Jagged Bones [[Jagged Bones] for longer lasting (and renewable) undead followers and to trigger Explosive Growth [[Explosive Growth] and Boon of Creation [[Boon of Creation] when they die and create Jagged Horrors.
  • Use Taste of Death [[Taste of Death], Putrid Flesh [[Putrid Flesh] or Feast for the Dead [[Feast for the Dead] instead of Signet of Creation [[Signet of Creation] to focus on killing off specific minions, specifically the Animate Flesh Golem [[Animate Flesh Golem] to create a new one, to trigger Death Nova [[Death Nova] when required, and to self-heal.
  • Use Generous Was Tsungrai [[Generous Was Tsungrai] with a few extra points towards Restoration when low on health and immediately drop to heal.
  • Reduce Spawning Power, increase Restoration, and add spirits such as Recuperation [[Recuperation] (breakpoint 4 ranks) to help your teammates and minions last longer.
  • Use Rotting Flesh [[Rotting Flesh] to spread disease, Bitter Chill [[Bitter Chill] for spammable damage, Vile Miasma [[Vile Miasma] for damage and degen, Deathly Swarm [[Deathly Swarm] for groups of enemies, or Putrid Bile [[Putrid Bile] / Rising Bile [[Rising Bile] for alternate AoE spikes.
  • Swap out Blood of the Master [[Blood of the Master] for Spirit's Gift [[Spirit's Gift].
  • Swap out Signet of Creation [[Signet of Creation] for Spirit Light [[Spirit Light] or Putrid Bile [[Putrid Bile] if using Heroes.
  • Swap out Animate Flesh Golem [[Animate Flesh Golem] / Aura of the Lich [[Aura of the Lich] for Reclaim Essence [[Reclaim Essence] (bring along a spirit), Spirit Channeling [[Spirit Channeling], or Attuned Was Songkai [[Attuned Was Songkai] for superior Energy management.
  • Various PvE-only skills, such as Necrosis [[Necrosis], Ebon Battle Standard of Honor [[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] and Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom [[Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom] may be effective.
