Support[edit]

In order from most support to most DPS:

  • Full support Magi B - Full carry mode, generally not suggested but has the most focus on barrier, res, and support.
    • Has 175 extra toughness with mercy runes, make sure you let the tank know (or you're the tank). Your  Epidemic.png Epidemic is very weak if you need to take it.
  • Shaman/Marshal mix (~6-9k) B - Standard setup for heal scourge, has extra condi damage to be able to use  Epidemic.png Epidemic (damage is based off your condi damage stat) but is otherwise full support focused.
  • Hybrid Plaguedoctor (~22k) B - MightyTeapot's Hybrid DPS variant
    • Can be run with some Seraph pieces as well for more crit but loss of vitality means less life force.
  • Blood Magic condi Scourge (~26.5k) B - Trait swap from normal condi DPS scourge to bring transfusion while not losing too much DPS going full support.

Utility options[edit]

  • Signet of Undeath.png Signet of Undeath - Extra life force generation and an emergency res if needed, will basically always want this as heal.
  • Epidemic.png Epidemic - Spreads conditions on the target to nearby enemies, can help a lot if there are adds and not just a single boss.
  • Blood Is Power.png Blood Is Power - Can help a little with group might but more importantly gives strong bleed and conditions to transfer.
  • Spectral Grasp.png Spectral Grasp - AoE CC and pull. Can help pull in adds or just provide good CC.
  • Corrosive Poison Cloud.png Corrosive Poison Cloud - Field of projectile destruction.
  • Corrupt Boon.png Corrupt Boon - Boon removal, can also take scepter and use  Feast of Corruption.png Feast of Corruption
  • Well of Corruption.png Well of Corruption - Same as above.
  • Plague Signet.png Plague Signet - Condition removal from allies if there are a lot, extra transfer to boss as well.
  • Well of Power.png Well of Power - Condi conversion into boons if you need more cleanse.
  • Trail of Anguish.png Trail of Anguish - Stability and swiftness.
  • Sand Swell.png Sand Swell - Short range blink + portal

Kite[edit]

Specifically for Qadim the Peerless where you'll need to be on a pylon away from the group

  • Torment runes (~27.5k) B - Swaps runes to tormenting for sustain, really only suggested if you have legendary to swap easily.
  • Blood Magic (~26.5k) B - Swaps Soul Reaping to blood magic, small DPS loss for self sustain
  • Parasitic (~23.5k) B - Large DPS loss for swapping off of Lingering Curse Lingering Curse but also a large amount of self sustain making it the easiest option.
 DPS estimates listed are from before May 25th 2021 patch, actual DPS should be higher
