Corpse control

Corpse control is a tactic involving the use of quick casting, low Energy spells to deny the control over corpses for the opposing team. Use Wells, or cause damage through the use of Putrid Explosion. The spells that are used for this tactic are only necromancer spells.

In PvP, the most usual tactic involves mesmers using them, due to the Fast Casting attribute.
