I am almost 1100 paragon. What build can do Curses ! (kill 350 in a Cursed Chest Event)?
a) Corpse Explosion + Land of the Dead + Messerschmidt Reaver
b) Corpse Explosion + Land of the Dead + Messerschmidt Reaver
c) Masquerade + Bone Spear/Teeth
d) or ???

Thanks.

I don’t play Necromancer often, but I think you can use the Pestilence set with the Devouring Aura and Corpse Lance to do it. Haven’t tried it but in theory it would work, you’d just need Land of the Dead or Golem with the (gloves or boots?) that makes your golem drop a corpse to get the chain started.

In theory it would work at least.

Corpse Explosion, Corpse Lance failed because of the long Cooldown.

Masquerade failed because I wasn’t fast enough with the Bone Spear. I did this with a Multishot DH; maybe I should have used Teeth rune and become a Necro Multishot?

Finally, I just pulled out my Bounty Build - LOD Skeletal Mage and killed 350 in 1st go without effort.

Trag’s Blood Nova. Massive AoE dmg.

It might be able to do it. On PC, anyway. On console, the challenge is quite hard due to slower spawn rates. Not impossible, I hear, but I have never actually done it no matter what build for any character. Needless, I hate that conquest.

But, yeah, the Blood Nova should be able to, given it can boom everywhere.

On the console, Curses is literally impossible to solo for any class but a Demon Hunter or Crusader. You are wasting your time trying to solo that if you’re not a DH or Crusader on the console. It can be done without one, but you’re going to need 4 players.
