Blizzard, cast walking bomb, fade step to the pack, fade cloak to explode, explode walking bomb. Would this work better than having the winter grasp that's often used? The added 1000% dps at the end of your fade step sounds nice. What do y'all think?

Keeping fade step for mobility

Keeping blizzard for aoe, just a fun spell.

Walking bomb for the dps

The fade cloak would both compliment the fade step into group and explosions from walking bomb.

I have no idea how Decloaking Blast works on packs as I have never used it and description suggests its single target, but if you want to Frost/Fade step into packs I would recommend some AoE.

Cloak works great on groups if they're tight like from the AW's Pull. That's about the only time I personally use it. WG I keep on Necro for the oh crap moment or freezing high priorities that are vulnerable to it.

Yeah id agree Winters grasp is much better than fade cloak for the necromancer.

really helps being able to stop an enemy heading for you or your teammates

I don't remember if Necro has the Ice Armor passive, but if it doesn't I wouldn't recommend being so close-quarters oriented with a mage that's not AW. On principle I'm not going to use Cloak and probably not even Step because I'll want her to feel as different as possible from the AW.

 

I ran Cloak on my Elementalist the first build I tried, and you should really only use it as an escape button when something attacks you or if you have to get a quick revive on a teammate.

It does have Ice Armor passive, I do not pick it (if I knew Frost Step can trigger it I would), and I can tank smaller packs, with Keeper on team and Barrier whole Threatening. Necro has Death Siphon, use it. 10% health on death? Plus mana. Ever been on kill streak? Necro "is supposed to die" from time to time - Simulacrum. The way I see and play Necro is mobile, risk taking yet smart bomb. Screw Winter Grasp. Leave CC for someone else, Necro lives on the edge.

I play my necro as being...pretty much not mobile at all.

 

Walking Bomb

Winters Grasp

Ice Mine (Personally, I really enjoy this ability. Blocks off choke points - and there are far more chokepoints in MP than SP).

Spirit..w/e... the ability that makes enemies become yours!

 

However, I'm going to switch out spirit ___ for Blizzard probably.

Be warned that freeze effects will interfere with Walking Bomb explosions.  Walking Bomb is best used on the weakest targets in the group to quickly spread it to everyone.  If that target it frozen then it will not spread until the freeze effect has expired.  This makes upgraded Blizzard (and Virulence) a hindrance to Walking Bomb.  A good Necromancer can clear entire groups quickly when partnered with another Mage (Static Cage, Firestorm, Pull of the Abyss).
