So I had posted a previous build but I wasn't too happy with it. So now I'm actually playing through the game as a Necro/Time, with a build that will end up looking like this:

So far, she is at level 30 and her build looks like this:

(Provoke has a single level 30 IO Acc)

 

Wow, Provoke has made this so much easier to run. At level 12, I switched from +0/x1 to +0/x3. At level 26, I switched to +0/x5. With Provoke, I rarely get to use Soul Extraction, which is a shame. But I think I can increase my missions by one level. Between Assault and Temporal Selection, my Grave Knights have a sexy (but easily skippable/exchanged) +29.5% Damage and they get healed for more. I do feel somewhat unstoppable running around. I order my Grave Knights (to target the dangerous enemies) and Lich (to reposition) around, so I only keep my Zombies in Bodyguard mode to help me absorb some of the damage. I'm in the thick of things with my marauding undead horde due to Time's Juncture which provides ample support. Since I don't foresee other powers significantly changing my play style, they will only improve it (more damage through Slowed Response, more recharge through Chronos and Hasten), I decided to post about it now.

 

Now, I mentioned "somewhat" unstoppable because well... there are weaknesses. Due to being in the melee, AoEs do tend to hurt a lot (damage to me + split to Zombies and damage to Zombies themselves). And though I consider myself as durable as a Tanker or Brute, I lack their control protection. If I'm stunned or held without a Break Free handy, pure chaos. I can't order my GKs or Lich and my Time's Juncture is turned off, which is very noticeable unfortunately. So far, I am loving this reiteration of this character (originally a Necro/Trick Arrow to 50 and then some incarnate stuff, then a Necro/Nature, 50+).
