Ok, first thing’s first, you are not a “wells build”. At least in the link you left. You have no ground targeted wells which means your wells are nigh useless. Is that something you’ll switch “on the fly” if you switch to wells? If so, fair enough.
Second, forget the Necro’s Power tree. It’s junk. There’s nothing there worth having.
3 seconds of post-nerf retaliation when you deathshroud? Yeah, not really doing much… Retaliation is good on Guardians and builds that can stack it in long durations and along with protection. 3 seconds is nothing.
Health when you kill something? Only useful against hordes of junk mobs, which aren’t an issue anyways.
Bonus to healing? Really cool, till you remember almost none of the Necro’s healing sources scale with healing power… Only the #6 skill.
10% more damage to Marks? Marks don’t do significant damage. They do utility and conditions. Neither are affected. Only one mark gets any noticeable boost from it, and it’s on a long enough cooldown and situational enough use (you wanna save it for a really key blast finisher or, more commonly, a full condition transfer) that it doesn’t matter.
Might when under 25% health? If you’re under 25% health you should be thinking about leaving, not hanging around. Besides you’re only a couple of hits away from kicking the proverbial bucket, so, is 1 or 2 stacks of might really gonna make a difference? Not really.
I.e.: The Necro’s power tree is useless. Don’t do it.
Additionally you have no life syphoning… Life stealing is a big part of a Necro’s survivability. Even if you won’t exactly steal 1k at a time, you’ll steal a lot of small amounts, which pile up. Also, as a Necro, conditions like poison aren’t much of an issue, so you’ll usually be healing for full effect.
So, I’d recommend moving all of your currently wasted Spite points to Blood Magic (my favorite) or Soul Reaping (build dependent).
Finally, Condition Duration is severely overrated because it shows pretty numbers in the tooltips, without people realizing what those numbers mean. 7k seems like a pretty high number for damage, until you realize that it’s 7k over 18 seconds of bleeding. Now stop and count 18 seconds. Yeah. How often will a fight go on that long without a single condition clear? Or, perhaps more importantly, how much more damage would you have done over those 18 seconds if you had just stacked/restacked more or more potent bleeds?
You see, the problem with condition duration is that it is diametrically opposite to the current “flow” of combat – fast paced bursting and re-bursting. Condition duration offers you potential, very diffused, and very conditional damage, while you want guaranteed, “de facto”, damage.
Especially with conditions, you’re better off front loading the damage in the form of higher condition stacking, than spreading it out over several seconds. Several seconds in which your opponent may escape, your condition may be cleared, or you may, in fact, be killed.
Finally I’d get rid of Reaper’s Protection for Staff Mastery. 90 second cooldown on a passive trait is a bit of a waste in my book. Rather the more reliable increase in utility availability from Staff Mastery.
