How to use this build:

If you'd like to use a scribed ability to replace the Alliance abilities to avoid PvP, you could use the following:

- Ulfsild's Contingency in place of Resolving Vigor, this would use healing or shield for the focus (which ever you'd prefer). With Sage's Remedy for the signature, and Intellect and Endurance for the affix.
- For Caltrops you could replace with Soul Burst, focus would be Physical Damage, signature would be Lingering Torment, and the focus would be Courage.

Again choice is yours based on what you feel you need.


This build is all about delayed damage, the more corpses that are around, the more boom we do. Making it almost as though the more scary the situation, the more equipped we are to deal with it.

This is a Dynamic build. Meaning that its ever changing, but don't let that deter you, a little practice and it all comes together.
First and foremost Summoner's Armor then Skeletal Archer and Spirit Guardian. These are your pets and your constant corpses so making sure these are up is very important.
Next Blastbones, then Quick Cloak,
Then Wall then Blastbones,
Then Boneyard then Caltrops,
Then Blastbones. Then detonating twice and Boneyard again.
By this point you will want to recast your pets.

It sounds complicated but its really not, theres just a lot happening to get it rolling, but once you do its a steam train that can't be stopped. Vigor is there as your burst heal for when you need it.

The real secret is Blastbones: It is essentially every third skill. So two skills, then a Blastbones. Things like range or targets can alter this, Sometimes Blastbones wants to stop for a coffee before leaping, and thats okay just carry on.

IF there are corpses around, then detonate them, over and over until there are no more corpses. This is the BOOM damage and it will make it all Pop. Hence the name.

The important thing to remember is Make sure all your buffs are up and your moving out of damage. Next is your blastbones and then popping corpses with Detonating. Once its all rolling its too much fun!

Champion Points:

Blue CP Slottables: Red CP Slottables:
Biting Aura Fortified 
Thaumaturge Boundless Vitality
Master at Arms Rejuvenation
Fighting Finesse Siphoning Spells

Above I have listed the recommended slottables. I have not done Green CP because I find them to be completely player preference. It's important to remember your passive champion points as well. These are quite often forgotten about in the rush to get your slottables.
