A Joker themed build perfect for Jesters Festival with videos. Necro

Koolio

I've created a few builds over the years but this one is very special to me. I spend a lot of time just staring at the sets this game has thinking of ways to get them working for me. I have now found this to be my personal favorite.

I call it the Jokester. It work very well in a group and solo. Concentrating on being a distraction and pulling groups apart for your team to kill them. This does exceptionally well since whole group like to chase 1 guy across the map. So I build it specifically for being chased.

Pros: Extreme resources management. Lots of CC's. Very funny and fun. Easy to escape situations. Always being able to resurrect ally's and put down camps. Survivability.

Cons: Absolutely 0 Damage. Very low heals. Gets you Tbagged a lot. Lol.

Sets:
5pc Lich front bar (Resto staff 1body Jewelry) all stam recovery glyphs.
5pc eternal hunt (Bow 4 body)
Engine Guardian
Bar 1(Lich) Shadow Image, Siphoning attack, mutagen, Refreshing Path, Manefestation of Terror, Restoration Staff Ultimate with Major Protection
Bar 2(Eternal) Relentless Focus, Shuffle, Vigor, Cloak, Rearming Trap, Bolstering Darkness/Soul Siphon

This works fantastic to get people to follow you into your traps. Since you are nightblade being able to cloak already gives you the ability to escape. Throw down a shade and some fear circles and trap beast the place up. I've ran people out of their own keeps because the 15 people chasing me couldn't keep up.
These are my buff stats with continuous and a tri stat potion.



Of course it wouldn't be called this without looking like you know who.



It takes a very high level of skill to pull this off when multiple people are attacking you. But if that one guy "thinks" he the best then that is you ideal target. He won't stop attacking you because he has to "prove something". This is best when you have a few ganking nightblade with you.

Here is a video I made against 1 person so you can see the build in action. If you want to see kills this is not the video for you. I will be adding more videos once I can get to it.

Let me know what you all think.

Not normally mine either but just got tired of being zerged down. Let them try now lol. Didn't want to go the traditional "tanky" setup. I can only image what chat would be like for these people.

Looks fun, I'd add some mistform/teleport/clouding swarm

You just can't really heal so mistform doesn't quite work. Especially against Min/Maxed people who hit really hard. You almost need that resto ultimate to keep you alive. Tried clouding swarm it's just not what it used to be. .

I admit I haven't tried clouding in a long time.

It's pretty much bat swarm unmorphed and spamming lotus fan. Could do that before as a nightblade. I tried really hard to get them to fix it but they wouldn't/couldn't.

You should add rapid manuvers. As long as you dont attack anyone or heal an ally you will never be snared or immobilised. Bonus you get the speed and eternal hunt doesn't remove rapids! Happy kiting!

I had a similar build where i used Morpheus or something like that, it knocks people down if you roll dodge through them, then use the Eternal Hunt set with it. Just keep rolling around and being an overall pest! Roll dodge though someone, knock them down right into your eternal hunt mine and rapid manuvers still stays active lol! I've had a blast rolling though zergs xD.

Hide of Morihaus, always wanted to try it but never had a suitable build.

Yeah its heavy armor thats suppose to roll dodge... not really a mix that blends well. You can use Duel Wield and Jewerly to keep medium but overall its not anywhere near viable. Using Mass Hysteria on a nightblade and just spamming that is more effective... but it is fun to roll around and kill people xD

It's not really the snares that get me. It's the "gap closer" snares. Even still the cost is extremely high. Almost 50% of my max. Good to know that eternal doesn't break it though. Thanks.

I like this "pest" build concept so much, I have just reinvested all resources into getting the 9th trait unlocked an all gear.

I like builds like this. Yea you'll do no damage, but you basically become a mobile tank. Except instead of using sets to force players to go after you, you prey on your enemys hatred for nightblades instead lol.

This made me chuckle well played

A well timed Necro
