The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page. This build has been designed for the following use: |
This two man and six hero support-team utilizes the Soul Reaping concept of powerful energy management to Hard-Mode PvE with ease; in addition to offering superior defensive stablility, damage reduction and resilience to attrition. Very easy to use, requires little to no active hero controlling; allows the 2-man players to completely focus on killing.
