Notes on Playing this Build
The two Necros & two Memsers alternate using their Soul Barbs or Recurring Insecurity. It is probably best to have a Necro as the target caller.
Target the Warriors & Assassins first. This build has no frontline because everyone is a caster, so you need to take out the enemy front line. Keep them in check with Faintheartedness & Shadow of Fear in between Soul Barb spikes.
The counters for spike are running away, interupting Soul Barbs, & using Convert Hexes or Expel Hexes.
The Water Ele's keep the target slowed so running away is not viable. The E/Me has an interupt so 1 copy of Convert Hexes can be countered. If you notice someone using Expel Hexes, use Diversion on them.
This build does not do well under Nature's Renewal or Quickening Zepyhr. The Water Ele (#3) can take them out with Water Trident & Wand.
This build can split 4/4, but plays much better as a full team.
