The main strategy with this build, and all Wellbombing builds, is to lock down opponents inside your wells. This is easier achieved through first using Dark Pact to immobilize your opponent, putting down a Well of Darkness (Or WoC if they have stability active) which will blind/chill them making it harder for them to escape if they remove the immobilize, then daze them (2 Second daze off Warhorn), and put down your other 2 wells. Then proceed to burst with your dagger.

Your Axe and Focus are only there for defense against good Kiting players, and to stack bloodlust.

This, in my opinion, is a very strong build that can easily turn the tables on Thieves, or any other burster, as well as dominating bunker builds. It has minor difficulty against Retaliation and Limb-regenerating Rangers. It has above average survivability mixed in with it’s incredible damage.

Tested this build in 85 tournaments. Outperformed my highest expectations in each one, often ending every match with 20+ kills.

I run a very similar build, but use plague instead of lich so I can stall if I’m almost down and my heal is on cd. And sometimes I swap the axe for the scepter for that extra range. I would stay axe all day if it had a cleave, but the only use I really have for the axe is the aoe slow to keep people in my wells for almost the full duration.

There are a lot of variations you can make here too – like taking staff and greater marks for the off set… you can use focus/warhorn/dagger for the off hand of the dagger set… you can put traits in SR instead of BM for more DS-centric survivability. I usually only take two wells (suffering + a utility well) and spectral walk for a stun break and access to swiftness. That’s what’s awesome about necro is there seem to be a lot of options for this class as opposed to a lot of others that are forced into just one or two viable setups. my 2 cents…

I always put a +15% stun duration sigil on the warhorn, it adds 1second to the daze because it rounds up, making it a great 4seconds.

Do what you like. I don’t rely on the Daze so much (I only use it to place my wells, but my dagger is the strongest part) so… I wouldn’t use it.
