This build focuses on the power of Discord spam to blow through all the toughest areas of PvE. It includes hexes and conditions (as well as defenses against each), healing, protection, minions, spirits, and all the other essentials. It leaves room for the two human members to run nearly any build they desire, though it is strongly recommended to use an Assassin secondary and the elite skill Assassins Promise. Any additional hexes or conditions (particularly those that do not require "Fleshy" enemies) as well as Knockdown skills would be particularly useful.
Each Necromancer Hero should have the best Vigor Rune available, Survivor Insignia's (unless specified otherwise), Vitae runes to fill in their armor, and Staff with +30/+30 Health mods (unless specified otherwise).
