Support Scourge

October 2024

Introduction

This Scourge build is a strong group support, with great access to , condition cleanses, enemy boon removal and revival power.

Build Fundamentals

Your Necromancer’s Shroud is replaced by Manifest Sand Shade, which allows you to provide support and damage at range.

The main mechanic of Scourge’s Shades is understanding that your F2-F5 skills apply in two locations – your current location and also the location where your Manifest Sand Shade is placed, meaning you can cover twice as many targets with each skill!

Use Sand Cascade and Sandstorm Shroud to provide to your allies and cleanse their conditions thanks to Abrasive Grit.

Use Garish Pillar to activate Transfusion, reviving your downed allies around yourself.

NOTE: even though Garish Pillar will activate on the Manifest Sand Shade location, Transfusion only pulses from your character.

Sandstorm Shroud pulses with a stronger application on the final one. Once finished, your trait Life from Death activates for additional healing.

Build Specifics

Your skills have great utility:

• Nightfall, Unholy Feast, Trail of Anguish and Ghastly Breach remove enemies’ boons. Even your healing skill Sand Flare can be used for this purpose if necessary!
• Use Grasping Darkness to pull enemies out of their group – this is especially strong on mispositioned targets. If used correctly, you can generate a few kills.
• Locust Swarm shares to allies – having this boon during a fight is vital.

You have strong reviving capabilities:

Use Signet of Undeath when you want to secure the revival of an ally.

NOTE: When casting Signet of Undeath, 50% of your health will be instantly removed – be careful not to die!

Manually reviving an ally (pressing F), activates Ritual of Life, which spawns Well of Blood, increasing the reviving speed.

Alternatives

Skills

Sand Flare shares which also activates Abrasive Grit, but you can change this skill for Well of Blood for additional revival power, thanks to Ritual of Life.
