thx to the fog nightmare for this build idea.
key of this build is to focus around Dark Aura when in the middle of things.
when not in the middle of things, (non king of hill matches) just sit back and use your to DoT's and spam your dark wand damage, witch isnt much.
its a very risky build and the damage out put is not nearly as good as other builds, but its a cool concept if anything.

feel free to drop other skill options in here and good reasoning.

Demonic flesh might be a good way to get some more livability out of your build, also Order of Pain or Order of the Vampire are nice team-boosting skills, so you wouldn't feel so useless while enemies aren't clumped up, but they'll also be nice when they are.

Barbed signet is interesting, deals damage with technically no cost to you, but would also trigger your aura.. also useful at range, if enemies aren't close together... only downside is the long recharge.

you might want to look into taking some points out of soul reaping or death magic and place it into curses, curses do laot of damage over time and and stack with the blood magic DOT's, soul reaping is also good, but maybe at lev 5-6 with a +1 from a rune, remember max energy for a necro is 43, and most of your spells only cost 5, i think the higest you listed is 10, JMO tho
