This is a very powerful build for bunkering home point and outlasting opponents. It uses the new death magic trait as well as spectral skills to regenerate health and life force very quickly, creating a never ending cycle of attrition. You get almost perma fury from rage runes and deathly perception while in DS so your crit chance is actually quite high. Using lich to swing that team fight in your favor bunker 1v3 until your teammates can help. I’ve tried this with valk and cavalier ammy. Let me know what you think

Gave it a go for afew hotjoin matches. From what I’ve seen it’s fun to play for me atleast.

Edit: 2 hours later…Done some tournys and so far it has not failed me..hold the point long enough to get help. Great spec so far! Using the valk ammy.

You should always be the one to cap home. Often in solo queue teams will send 2 people to far to decap it. That leaves a 4v3 or 4v2 in mid and far with no one on it. My team should win mid rather quickly and easily and i can usually hold out that long. When a fight first starts use spectral armor to build up your life force, ghastly claws, and dagger auto attacks. Use dagger #2 only if you need the health, not to do dmg. Once your health gets low go into DS and let it regenerate. Then once its back to a comfortable level start using your spectral skills again

Might want to try using plague elite for that extra bit of point tanking. Can also try sigil of life to get more healing from your various sources of restoration. Since you can kill with this spec to get a few stacks, say ten or five help with the DS hp regen. You can also use Spectral Grasp instead of the well, good interrupt that pulls target chills and gives +15% LF. The utility is also great in skyhammer for obvious reasons.
