Usage

 * Co-ordinate an Icy Veins spike.

 * 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.
