[edit] Usage

• Weaken foes with your hexes. You can stack them all on one foe, creating a spike of damage when it dies, but you can also spread them around, providing pressure.
• Use Foul Feast to remove conditions from allies, while providing yourself with health and energy.
• Use Aegis to protect your party members from physical attacks.
• Use Protective Spirit to further provide your allies with protection.
• Use Signet of Lost Souls to regain health and energy.
• Use Rebirth as needed. Refrain from using it during battle, as it makes you lose all energy and also disables the skills of the one being resurrected.

[edit] Counters

Anti-caster skills.

[edit] Variants

• Extinguish instead of Foul Feast if energy doesn't seem to be a problem.
• Resurrection Signet or Sunspear Rebirth Signet instead of Rebirth.

[edit] Notes

• You can further take advantage of the Soul Reaping attribute by taking a player or hero that uses a build such as this or this.
• Concentrate condition-removal on this character.
