[edit] Equipment

• A HCT/HRT Curses Wand/Focus Set
• Radiant Insignias seem to be the best choice for armor, they are not required though.

[edit] Usage

• Works best in a hex/degen team.
• Begin with Reapers Mark, cover with the appropriate hexes.
• Make sure Mantra of Inscriptions is active before using Signet of Humility.
• Do not stay on one target, spread your hexes as much as possible.
• Look for the most dangerous elite to your cause, usually Divert Hexes or Expel Hexes, but if none of these are present, try knock out Zealous Benediction, Light of Deliverance etc.

[edit] Counters

• Divert Hexes can ruin your day.
• Expel Hexes is not as common, but is an annoyance as well.
• Contemplation of Purity only assists the monk who is carrying it, but is also a threat.
• Any other excessive Hex Removal.

[edit] Variants

• Soul Barbs can be used to have some possible damage added to the build.
• Animate Bone Minions can be used as a source of energy when playing in a necromancer hex team.
• Meekness or Shadow of Fear may work well in this build.
