The purpose of this build is for laughs really, but it actually works extremely well with good siege backup, or generally a team of people willing to engage the enemy when you charge in.
The idea of this build is 100% increased chill duration. Now, believe it or not the Necromancer actually has the longest chills in the game. And many are AoE. And even if they aren’t, you have epidemic, which when used with an AoE chill, will effectively double the chill on surrounding targets.
Here are some durations and cooldowns:
Chillbains: 8s AoE, 16cd
Dark Path: 10s AoE, 12.75cd
Spectral Grasp: 8s, 24cd
Spinal Shivers: 10s, 16cd
Reaper of Grenth: 6s (does this skill pulse? never really looked into it carefully), 180cd
For absolute kittens and giggles, try Dark Path > Epidemic
. Alternatively, just walk into a bunch of people with Reaper of Grenth, and Spectral Walk out:D.
P.S. Hopefully, in the near future when Greater Marks works with Chillbains we can rely on that as a primary AoE Chill, for now, it might be better to pick another trait.

Guild missions say otherwise.
