    This Celestial Booster Harbinger is a great beginner-friendly offensive support setup made for open-world. The equipment above is designed to be played with the Exotic gear obtained by the Level 80 Boost, with some modifications to runes and sigils. To gear this build without the Level 80 Boost, use crafting or purchase items directly from the trading post. This build will allow you to provide permanent , and 25 . In addition to bringing boons, this build also has a large amount of Crowd Control and boon corruption.

    Build Fundamentals

    This build is able to maintain permanent , ,and 70% on allies while maintaining 25 .

    Unique to Harbinger is the Blight mechanic . Blight reduces your maximum health while providing you with offensive bonuses. You will be using Elixir of Promise and Elixir of Anguish to maintain some stacks of . To help mitigate the effects of , you will be using a Pistol and Scepter at range. It’s important to know that you give people boons around you while in a Harbinger Shroud, so staying at range is only good while playing alone.

    Your main damage weapon skills are Weeping Shots and Vile Blast on Pistol, Devouring Darkness and Grasping Dead on Scepter.

    You share boons while in Harbinger Shroud, specifically , so you want to enter it off-cooldown. Use shroud Tainted Bolts and Dark Barrage until shroud runs out. Use Voracious Arc and Vital Draw for additional crowd control, and Devouring Cut when the enemies are already crowd-controlled.

    Use Blood Is Power to share and your Dagger Deathly Swarm to transfer the self inflicted (and enemy conditions).

    Devouring Darkness corrupts boons, meaning enemy boons get converted into conditions, very powerful skill!

    Crowd Control

    Alternatives

    You can replace Elixir of Ambition with Summon Flesh Golem if you absolutely need additional Crown Control with Charge.

    Elixir of Risk can be changed for other good utilities skills such as Corrosive Poison Cloud for projectile destruction, Spectral Armor to gain a stun break and , Plague Signet for an additional condition transfer, and more. There are a lot of good Necromancer utilities, explore them!

    In solo scenarios, Twisted Medicine can be changed to Implacable Foe for a stun break and .
