Usage

• Co-ordinate an Icy Veins spike.
• Use Signet of Sorrow to deal armor-ignoring damage to the target. When the target dies, use Signet of Sorrow to kill its allies.
• Against IWAY or any build with thumpers use Signet of Sorrow to quickly wipe teams.

Counters

• General anti spike skills such as spirit bond, protective spirit, or shield of absorption.
• AoE Interruption, like Cry of Frustration.

Variants

• A number of variants exist for the Necromancer/Assassin; see the talk page for examples and discussion.
• More minions can be included in the build to fuel the Necromancers' Soul Reaping.

Notes

• Remember to put some space in between the spirits you set up.
• Try to keep your foes snared so that they cannot move out of the area of effect of Icy Veins.
