Necromancer: Unfinished, Not Broken.

Chilling Wellomancer [Hybrid Build]
1. Replace Axe/warhorn with staff, it’s just so much better.
1 b. Might want to swap Protection on Wells for larger marks, but that’s a matter of preference.
2. Drop Grandmaster Axe trait and pick Spite XII instead. All Axe is good for is Vulnerability stacking and the trait doesn’t improve that aspect.
3. If you don’t run in a coordinated group Consume Conditions beats Well of Blood by a mile. Choose accordingly.
4. Spectral Grasp has its uses, but it’s very unreliable. You’ll want to swap various skills in that slot depending on the situation. Run speed signet if you’re just crossing the map from one end to the other to cap supply camps for example, of Well of Corruption when defending a choke point. Also keep in mind, that you don’t have to be in a heavy condition damage build to use Epidemic effectively. Stack vulnerability with axe, apply chill with focus 5 and spread the goodness…
5. Profit
Consider taking Superior Runes of the Ice. You gain vitality instead of condition damage (which honestly you don’t seem to be capitalizing on anyways) and instead of chilling everyone when you heal, you get a 5% damage boost against anyone that’s chilled.
I only find Spectral Grasp unreliable at extreme range: if you want it for the chill / interrupt, using it at axe range should be pretty much a guarantee (unless there are serious shenanigans in play like projectile blocking)
I can think of tactics to make much grander chill plays, but they reduce the well focus of the build, so I’m not sure if they’d still be applicable.
Mixing insults with your post is like pooping in a salad.
It’s pretty obvious, and nobody’s impressed.
