Necromancer Bash - Soul Collector
Finally it's here after hours of testing my Necro bash build with pummelling Goliath! This guild is an absolute beats in PVP CP and the synergy with champion points is a monster!
I've been having loads of fun in imperical city clearing groups of mobs out and also groups of enemy players! Players bolt when I go in clown form or they group up and try and zerg me down!
There's plenty of scope to play around with different Armor types or even the skills but this should give you a solid basis to make a very strong necromancer bash build.
You'll have plenty of cone and area damage to help you take on multiple players as well as a big aoe heal and cleanse to deal with your team mates
I'm using a very standard bash set up this build with some flexibility for you personal play style. I'm using Deadlands Demolisher and Veiled Heritance for max bash damage. You'll need the Oakensoul Mythic Ring for this build to get it follow this guide

The best bash damage set. Nothing really comes close to the extra bash damage. Well worth golding out a full set if you're in to your bash builds. I have full gold jewellery and I do not regret it. Again Heavy sets only

The skeleton runs after the target and explodes when it gets close to them, dealing 10954 Disease Damage to all enemies nearby and applying Major Defile to them for 4 seconds, reducing their healing received and Health Recovery by 16%.

You heal for 6085 Health for the first enemy hit, and an additional 2028 for each additional enemy, up to five times. The healing of this ability scales off your Max Health.
