I do appreciate this video. Scourge is such a radical change from base necromancer and my current specialty (Reaper) that starting to play Shade has an element of WTF do I do now. This very video really helps bridge the gap between total beginner and the guidance in sources like Hardstuck and Snow Crows. Many thanks for taking the time and effort.
yeah that specific Reaper's skill is just amazing. but for long instanced fight I like scourge with the same DPS but better utilities than reaper. for open world reaper just kill the mobs faster
if you want to make your shields more powerful you will need healing power to do it, the devs did not like the lack of healing power being utilized so they nerfed shield gen/self healing via traits/skills to require it
i just started this game and im loving it!! i made a scourge too. 1 question im wondering why i dont have the target icon like you and what it does ? great guide btw i learned alot from this!
What are flex utility skills for open world? Should we be running signet heal? flesh golem elite to take some pressure off? I usually take stab that’s a stunbreak too. Blood is power is the only one I don’t swap out for sure
Hello. What would you recommend as a cheaper alternative armor set to Viper? I am still relatively new to the game and have yet to save up gold in order to acquire the set, runes, and sigils that go with the build. Thank you!
@@sandyroysantos3476 Run the Verdant Brink meta to T4 (find a party), and you can get stat selectable exotics with ease. This is fine for OW and is only slightly less stats than ascended. To get ascended vipers, craft a cheap ascended item and use the mystic forge to stat change it to vipers (look online how).
Dude, I live scourge, but getting the full viper gear for it to unleashed its true potential is too expensive XD. I llove you passion tho. Revive scourge here. XD
god i hate scourge. ima necro enjoyer but that spec is a convoluted mess that i refuse to play. also imo its boring aoe spam, unlike staff ele which is just pure fun
Yep i just started to get into all the necromancer spec's and scurge is by far the most jank shit ive ever played, theres so meny dead trait's that just simply dont work with scurge. since it requires u to either enter shroude or be in shroude which scurge just dosent do at all. it feels so bad...
Desert shroud counts you as in shroud Manifest sand shade counts as F1 shroud skill, and F2, F3, F4 also F5 count as their own shroud skill, AS WELL AS F1 skill Pair all that with dhuumfire from soul reaping trait, boom! Toons of burning damage 🔥 What dead traits are you talking about?
@@daniellind7559 this is from the wiki: Using any Shade skill, including Manifest Sand Shade, will strike enemies near the scourge or any sand shade. Manifest Sand Shade inherits traits that modify "Shroud skill 1". For example, with Reaper's Might the scourge will gain might when using any shade skill or with Dhuumfire the strike from Manifest Sand Shade will apply burning on hit as well. Traits that modify other shroud skills will only work on their respective skill. For example, Transfusion only happens when using Garish Pillar.
NOTE: at 5:23 It should be Ritual of Life, the top most trait (for pulsing heals like 10:02) and not Blood Bond, the bottom trait.
You have a terrific presentation style. Fantastic content!
Strong thank you for your VDO, this is help me so much to understand the concept of the spec. I am new for necr and trying to learn all sub specs.
Dude the first 2 seconds of the intro made me.hit the like button.. that's how good the editing is
aw thanks!!! i did put a lot into it :3

Yo made a so epic video that almost convinces me, but killing everything in 1 second with reaper's soul spiral is too addictive.
Hahaha it is! Reaper 4 makes me so happy

Top the nice RP Intro i can only say:
Praise Joko
Great video! Subscribed :D
Thank you! and thanks for the sub :D
@@iwantmmore likewise
Scourge love
Thanks I didnt notice that ._. . I actually do run that (as per the big organsic heals at 10:01) Mistake in recording I guess. Shitttt lol

That's pretty fair, actually
Is it still a good build for now? Thx for the video btw

do you mean the green icons on the floor as i aim? :o
@@iwantmmore oh no sorry i mean the targeting above your head the cross
@@XLyaQcX that’s the action cam. There is an option to set a key to toggle action cam
Now I wanna unlock, play this specc 😎👍great video great edit

@@iwantmmore Holy shit, thanks for the fast response, usually people doesn't respond to these xD you deserve a sub man
@@iwantmmore Also can I ask you about the scepter skin too?
i like that it's quite tanky and has a crap ton of boonstrip, altough compared to other dps classes it lacks a bit

I usually run signet and golem yes :D Sometimes I swap out fiend for spectral grasp for more cc/group enemies.

Trailblazer’s. Celestial can also work.
@@Ikaraii Oh ok. Trailblazer's most likely will be doable for me. I'm only a month into the game. So, celestial is still beyond my buying power. :)

Master-Piece 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If skill isnt ticking, that button need clicking

Aww! Hey halloween is coming up. Get some lunatic gear for stat select😬
hey how's you gear doing? I do regular fractals and raid learning. suddenly I get enough currency to buy those ascended gears.
Is that a summon flying beside u?
it is the pet from the legendary scepter Xiuquatl
Love to be a cornerstone role in bonerskinner. Going in without a heal scourge is like CM mode kek.
Nice video i never played necro but this looks interesting
My guild: nah this boss is too hard we skip
*me get online*
My guild: oh nvm our scourge is here
Me seeing veteran, elite or champion mobs: prepare to load the condi and hit with epidemic, see the small mobs gets deleted automatically.
