Necromancer:
For the necromancer, we felt that a few traits and skills were too powerful, while others were lacking in efficacy. We brought down some of the raw DPS conditions that necromancer enjoys, while also maintaining their pressure and sustain elements. The necromancer’s mobility will remain where it is currently, as we want the Necromancers to be focused on sustaining themselves through death shroud, siphoning health, and slowing down their opponent’s ability to act.

I love Chill of Death 25% to 50%, in my Power Build it takes 3k+ when it strips 3 Boons and its auto. Add to that Another Spinal Chivers on Focus and u stripped 6 Boons and done 6-7k+ dmg to a target.
Even better is for me the cooldown on Reapers Protection, in my Condi-Burst Build (30-20-20-0-0) that I use mainly I love when this procs our longest Fear whenever some Thief jumps you, well when anyone jumos u really.
