User:Marin Bloodbane/Build: Suffering Spiker

This build is used to create a large spike in only a few seconds, while using common skills so an opponent suspects nothing! It was designed for Nog64's contest (see bottom)

Equipment

 * An Insightful Accursed Staff of Fortitude with HCT of Curses inscription will do nicely.
 * Also bring an Accursed Rod of Memory with HSR of Curses and Energy +5 (while above 50%), with an Accursed Icon of Aptitude with HCT of Curses and Curses +1 (20%).
 * For armor, bring full radiant and the max vigor rune you can get, along with several Attunement runes.

Usage
Cast the four hexes: Soul Barbs, Parasitic Bond, Faintheartedness, and Ether Phantom. Use the Mantra of Signets along with Signet of Suffering twice, since it recharges instantly. Cast Drain and Shatter Delusions for a final good bye. Your foe may not be dead, whther through healing or hex removal. If this occurs, you can spam Parasitic Bond to trigger Soul Barbs multiple times until your foe is dead or you want to restart the chain.

Counters

 * Hex removal and Signet/Stance prevention can be a hinderance, as you will not achieve maximum damage.
 * This build has a 20 second cool down, and uses every skill in the bar. Any enemy build which takes advantage of this will be well rewarded.
