Necroreaver Abomination

The Necroreaver Abomination (referred to as "Abo" for short in the community) is a Necroreaver class that excels at both soaking damage and handing out slows and stuns.

Tactics
Necroreaver Abomination would have been underwhelming...without the option to put a Reflexive Skin relic on him. This allows you to sacrifice portions of HP to attack when hit (repeatedly per turn) and thus circumvent your awful Stamina and Speed. I recommend players consider Necroreaver Abomination on runs where they find this relic. With it, he can become a valuable addition to your team, standing at the vanguard of a push.

Necroreaver Abomination should level only VIT and STR at the player’s discretion (more VIT is preferred, to avoid sustaining a crippling amount of damage from ranged blows as you close into the enemy frontline.) The multipliers that the derived stats (HP and Damage, respectively) get from Colossus are too good to pass up.

Necroreaver Abomination wants a few things from his team. The first is a healing source; Priest or Shaman work well, but Shaman is preferred because you can reliably send heals (both Life Regen and the Regeneration Focus) that scale off the Abomination’s very large HP pool; a substantial percentage of a very large base is itself a quite large number.

Second is a source of Provoke, either using the Focus, or a team member with the focus ability (usually a Spearman.) Provoke directs enemy attacks to you, which lets you return the favor thanks to Reflexive Skin. When the Patience skill is unlocked, a player should use Provoke and then end the turn, which will lead to a Critical Strike and a stun on an unarmored target (without Shatterproof).

Abomination is best served fighting alongside your melee frontliners, dealing out large hits, slows, and stuns to anyone that touches him. One mistake some players make is sending him to fight 1v5 alone on a flank, which usually ends badly. He instead works better in tandem with your team, with your other melee units shouldering a portion of the damage as well.
