Help with Famine Build (Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse)

benoitsean

I'm creating the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I have the other three characters down (War, Pestilence, and Death).

The one I'm having a hard time with is Famine. I was thinking of making him a debuffer in the support role with lots of holds to give off the impression of starvation.

The starvation symptoms vary from person to person. The major symptoms are:

Fatigue
Abnormal attitude and behavior towards food and eating
Poor emotional and social functioning
Poor concentration
Dizziness
Reduction in the rate of weight loss
Impaired cognitive performance, like poor concentration
Gastrointestinal discomfort
Cold intolerance
Drop in blood pressure

I would like to incorporate as much of these symptoms as possible. I'm just not sure how to go about it.

This is what I came up with in the HeroCreator. Let me know if this is viable.

I hope this works. Anything can be changed. So long as it gives off the illusion of people starving around him. Thanks in advance for the help.

Just going to toss this in as an alternative that is a bit more dps focused but still has a variety of support tools.

Jaaz's version is pretty good, though you can't use Enchanter in the Support role. I assume it's meant to be a ranged dps instead.

Here's another version that's still Support-focused, and still uses DE, since I figure it's pretty thematic and its special adv also Roots and boosts its own healing:

For single-target dps, its main attack is DE, while Venom Breath is its main AoE attack. In either case, it uses the Wisp and Curse on cd to put up many different debuffs, and keeps BCR running for Gifts. I added Iniquity so you still have a basic ally/tank heal to fall back on, and you also have rezes as a Support. Gears mostly for Pres, w/ some Con and End/Rec (and some cost discount on gear).

You can also use a different support aura than AoPM here, depending on what you want to focus on.
