Hi folks,

I’m playing a Minion Master at the minute and was thinking about trying a Necro with no minions at all but rather Wells instead.

I really like DoT so something that combines wells and bleed seems a fun way to go. So, yeah, lots of wells and a whole heap of bleed stacks for everyone!

What do folks think of this for PvE?

Cheers,
– Jiff

With Rabid gear your wells won’t do a whole lot of damage, as you get no power from it. If you want both your conditions and wells to do damage, you would be better off with Rampager gear, which will boost both.
Focused rituals, imo, is not good for PvE at all, as most monsters will simply walk out of the wells. You’d have to stay in melee range for melee mobs to stay in the wells. As for any ranged mobs, you can simply run up to them, pop a well, and run away. No need for ground targetting.
For general PvE, I would drop well of darkness as PvE is easy enough already. I would replace it with Blood is Power as 10 might stacks make a nice change in damage. I would also replace Focused Rituals with Master of Corruption to use it more often. In dungeons you could always switch back for the added utility of blind.

Having said all that, going straight condition or power build instead of hybrid is probably better, but for your playstyle I think those changes would help.
