Anyone knows how to do the Extinction/Necro Bomb?

[Patccmoi]

I guild did that to me yesterday and it made me laugh a lot.

We had our nice little smite build team (i'm happy every time i lose cause i see a counter to it lol, counters exist but since it takes 3 times longer to join a non-smite group than to join a smite one, i'll keep non-smite for guild play!) and we saw a team of 7 necros rushing at us.

Basically here is what i saw:

6 necros come in with a Death Nova on. They all come straight in our face, use BiP x 3 on a 7th necro and used Chillblain to die and blow up, not all at the exact same time cause i saw a few Putrid in there (i know the 7th necro used putrid and maybe 2 more necs). Chillblains blewup our enchants so forget protection for at least most of your team. An 8th player that i never even saw had put up an EoE and just stayed far from it i guess. EoE was at 16 Beast damage, so it must be a ranger but it doesn't really matter.

So the 6 necro blew up and with that damage + EoE it seriously beat up our team (half dead, the other half grasping for health. They triggered on our casters mostly, they couldn't get all of them but we didn't have a lot of monks left don't know clearly cause all went so fast). The 7th N/Mo used Light of Dwayna. Tadaaaa, all the necros were back up and used Dark Pact + Vamp Gaze on the few remaining battered up party members we had. Killed them pretty damn fast. The whole fight lasted less than 10 seconds, so i didn't get a good idea on the skill set they had out of Death Nova, Putrid, Chillblain, Dark Pact, Vamp Gaze, and the N/Mo Light of Dwayna (i think others had rez sig cause Dwayna missed a necro but it was raised fast, maybe more than one carried Dwayna in case, dunno). Not sure either how the N/Mo survived at more than half hp through EoE, maybe he had Demonic Flesh and Symbiosis was up, not sure (Symbiosis wouldn't have helped us much cause they all Chillblained)

I tried that for fun with other people after but... we never got past ghost! The blow up + EoE doesn't work there cause they're not affected by EoE. We tried a couple of time and never managed (but the people i was with sucked, so it doesn't mean much). Anyone has an idea of how you pass ghosts with this kind of build? Have enough people carrying fiends and Restore Life and use a mass fiends build to punch through? Find a way to mix Nova and Putrid that could work?

If anyone knows how this build works exactly, i'd like to hear it, if anything it's a good way to gain faction fast cause your fights are extremely short and you have sure kills. And they seemed to win a lot from what the people were saying in Tombs district.

If they have BiP they can just die and summon tons of fiends before triggering the timer and with heal area, blood of master + ver's sacrifice fiends hp stays relatively high so u dont have to worry about them dying over time.

I've fought that necro build tonight. they went down pretty easy, we had 2 ranger that trapper the ent they ran and died at trap, i putrid explosion and all, their ranger ran. He used mark of protection and light of dwayna, rezzed them all. Some1 killed 1 necro, i used well of profane and 1 putrid and everyone died ;) It was fun to fight, but now i wanna do it with my necro lol

My guild did this for fun in Tombs, we actually won once! It was such a fun time.

We'd start by Rotting Flesh their team (had about 3 people with that skill). Everyone self-death nova (7 to be exact). A couple necros would stay back and Putrid, the others BiP'd to death. With EoE out, the effects were hilarious to say the least. An entire team basically with poison and disease degen taking 95 dmg per explosion, PLUS a putrid blast. Kinda hurts. Our 8th person was a monk who stayed in the back with Mark of Protection on him, basically to secure the win when all 7 of us died.

My guild (Hardcorp gamers) actually won hoh w/ a necro bomb build, we dont do any of that fancy stuff we just lay down edge and blow ourselves up w/ dark aura on. Ive gotten a little sick of it though, its either a 30 second win or a 1 minute loss. We also have a trick of defeating the unworthy in under 30 seconds w/o minions, but im not allowed to tell anyone :D .

This is just awesome - Death nova is a whole lot of fun.
