I came up with this build based on the info we got until now. Might not be very effective, but the idea was really cool.
Build Editor – Utilities, two Specializations, Items
*Replace Staff for Greatsword.Heal and Elite – Link
“Your soul is mine!” – Recover Life Force.
“Chilled to the bones!” – Just a better option than the others, chill is great though.Reaper Specialization – Link
Relentless Pursuit – Harder to be snared.
Chilling Force – Gain Life Force attacking chilled enemies, and a little Might too.
Reaper’s Onslaught – Increased attack speed in Reaper’s Shroud.
Objective
The objective is to stay in Reaper’s Shroud for the longest time possible, inflicting both power and condition damage. Life Force is your main health and the regular health pool is the buffer time you have to fill your Life Force again.
Synergy
Dhuumfire applies burn on every reaper’s auto attack. This condition stacks Corrupter’s Fervor, increasing your Toughness up to 300 and reducing Condition damage incoming up to 20%. Armored Shroud further increases your Toughness, which also rewards your Power by 14%.
The Sigil of Ice combined with 100% condition duration lasts for 4 seconds, and for this duration every 10 seconds, your auto attack rotation generates 1% + 1% + 3-11% Life Force with the Chilling Force trait. Other skills will also generate 1% Life Force per hit.
Stats in Reaper’s Shroud:
+220 Power
+480 Toughness
+25% Movement speed
1 Condition removed every 3 seconds
-50% Life Force degeneration
-20% Condition damage
-66% Immobilize, Cripple and Chill duration
Rotation out of Shroud
Axe/Focus is used to quickly fill the Life Force, and set up some Chill before you swap to GS and enter Reaper’s Shroud again. Same for the Heal Shout, Spectral Armor and Grasp, all of them used to recover Life Force. Plague Signet if you have more than 3 conditions and can’t wait.
