[[Discord] and [[keystone signet] adjusted to my playing style. Intended to be played as necromancer or mesmer. Has not yet been thoroughly tested as a [[fevered dreams] mesmer, but should work well.
Discord is an interesting skill, but I dislike the restoration magic hybrids many people play it on.
- Death nova on a non-mesmer minion master reduces the number of succesful [[death nova] casts on minions due to the casting time. It will also make them fall behind a lot. Mid-combat two seconds casting time and the aftercast delay are pretty annoying.
- [[Masochism] on healers.
- Hero AI of offensive/defensive hybrid builds. Way too often they will not heal when necessary or will overheal when they should deal damage.
By using the discord necromancers as pure damage dealers with paragon support shouts that don't keep them from casting those issues are avoided. [["Fall back!"] helps the minions and minion masters to not fall behind. Most minions and two death novae are outsourced on signet mesmers as they have 16 fast cast anyway, resulting in less than half the usual casting time. No [[protective was Kaolai] prevents 40/20/20 staves from triggering and giving them another 50% reduced casting time with a chance of 36%.
Strengths:
- Solid damage output, balanced single target and AoE damage.
- Despite the tiny backline pretty stable.
Weaknesses:
- Requires exploitable corpses to work.
- Less effective against massive enchantment or hex removal.
