Orders build

Orders builds are builds that support their martial team members by using party-wide enchantments. Many of these skills share the skill nomenclature prefix "Order". It is only used in physical-heavy parties, as Orders are irrelevant to casters.

Primary Order spells

The primary task of this build is to maintain these enchantments.

Equipment

• A weapon that provides the "of Enchanting" bonus is used to gain some time to cast other spells, as Order of Pain/Order of the Vampire have high cast times and short durations.
  • It will usually be a staff that also carries two 20% chances to reduce the casting time of Blood Magic spells.
  • An alternate set using a martial weapon and shield can also be used for higher armor+health to reduce the chances/dangers of being targeted.
• An orders necromancer will usually favor additional armor over health to keep costs of the orders lower while still reducing the chances of being targeted.
  • The sacrifices of the orders are not extreme enough to usually consider very low hp setups (as with Blood is Power necromancers).

Additional skills

Order skills have high energy and sacrifice costs, requiring good health- and energy management. The use of enchantments enables a few options for energy management:

Primary recommended

primary Necromancers:

• Soul Reaping
• Cultist's Fervor (elite) reduces energy costs of spells
• Signet of Lost Souls

primary Elementalists:

• Ether Renewal (elite): gain health and energy for each enchantment when casting a spell
• Aura of Restoration: gain health and energy when casting a spell

primary Dervishes:

• Arcane Zeal (elite): gain energy for each enchantment when casting a spell
• Vow of Revolution (elite): gain energy regeneration; renews upon non-Dervish skill activation
• Eremite's Zeal gain energy for each earshot foe
• Meditation: gain energy when an enchantment ends
• Imbue Health: Heals by percentage of current Health
• Watchful Intervention: heals enchanted party members below health threshold

Secondary options

Secondary profession characters and party members of an Orders build character may bring additional skills that benefit from enchantments synergy:

• Air of Enchantment: reduces the energy cost of party wide enchantments if Orders build is the recipient
• Blood Bond: AoE heals while supporting melee
• Dwayna's Kiss: heals more for each enchantment
• Dwayna's Touch: used as a self heal
• Mystic Healing: heals enchanted party members
• Signet of Mystic Speed: reduce activation times

Notes

• Although Dark Fury does not have the word 'Order' in its name, it functions exactly like an Order spell.
• Order of Undeath is the only order spell that is not an enchantment.
• Heroes will wait to start casting an order until the previous application has run out, thus leaving gaps in enchantment coverage.
