Been suffering from Alt-ism. lol I have been thinking about a DoT build that utilizes different procs from items.
How is Blood Pox + Word of Pain? The damage type are completely different but are there items that support mainly Elemental and Vitality/Acid?
My other combo choice is Inquisitor (Aura of Conviction) + Nightblade (Night’s Chill + Blade Spirit). The only problem is this is a PoAoE build and I just don’t know if I have the survival to stand close.
In fact, how do most builds survive without health leech? My Drain Essence is level 96 now. I feel this build Drainer is overpowered. lol
If you’re going pox/WoP, dual-wield Decrees of Malmouth to turn the bulk of your elemental damage into vitality. From there you can go with the Radaggan set, which would compliment that playstyle nicely.
Great for softening or destroying crowds and spreading gear/devotion procs throughout them. Both have useful debuffs as well.
On their own, you won’t see fast Boss kills though. Procs like Meteor Shower, Elemental Seeker, Cataclysm, Elemental Balance etc. will help in this area and as Pox/Word are fire-and-forget skills, you can kite while they and your procs do the work for you. Being able to apply/stack slow isn’t a bad idea either.

Kiting while your DoTs or debuffs kills stuff for you.
Yes they take some time to craft, so aim for a few mythical and craft the ones needed to make them and use them meanwhile.
Which relic is the best is very subjective and dependent on build. But in general. It is a very good idea to go for a relic that gives +1 to your skills.
Here is a budget build I am gonna do a little guide for once the new expansion is out
You can shop the weapon at the vendor in Ancient Grove (and farm it from the boss) and the amulet is a faction blueprint.
The only required item is the off-hand (or the ring or chest that I wrote down in the post above)
The medal you can also farm, we just need the item. Any good combo of affixes is a bonus.
As Evil Baka wrote, they are choosen on random upon crafting. Thus you need to craft a few to have completion bonuses to choose from. Which can be a pain in the butt considering all the small steps it takes to craft such mythical relic
That means that if you are interested in 1 special, you need to craft 30 of them to be 95% certain from a statistical point of view to get that 1 bonus you are interested in
