    Default Curseswitch, Tiefling Bard|Warlock/Flame of Hope/Destined Scion, Nova-Curse Master

    This build was an experiment in deploying a Nova similar to Killswitch's without being a Warlord, which can be broken down into:

    - Go first
    - Position Allies
    - Buff/give allies extra attack
    - Make attacking the two most vulnerable targets hard

    The build works better with a Shared Valor Armor and a Staff of Sleep and Charm, but it is fully item independent.

    The Build:

    In case anyone wants to see the Nova sequence:

    Nova Sequence:
    -Curse enemy
    -Shout of Evasion on that enemy
    -Minor Action Staggering Note
    -Action Point
    -Chant of Bad Fortune

    End result: 1 heavily damaged enemy (if not nearly dead) that is cursed
    Party postioned
    Every enemy in burst 5 has got a -Int to all defenses (basically, but technically, every ally got a +Int bonus to hit against every enemy in a burst 5)

    So, uhm... Feedback?
