Weapon and Skill Details
You will for the most time camp Shortbow, put out poisonfields, and blast when needed. Remember to always same some Initiative in case you need to disengade with Shortbow 5!
Your Steal will almost never be used on target, 'cause it will but you in a bad spot. Always stay close to your necro's!
You can also switch heal skill to "Withdraw" for more active healing and mobility, put then you will need to change traits! Will go over that in the lower section.

Trait Details
With this setup you got condiclense in stealth with Shadow Arts 3.
If you go for the heal skill "Withdraw" instead, switch this out to what you prefer of the others, since you will no loger have any stealth in the build. Remember to switch out out Trickery IV to Trickery 5. Then you will have a 14 1/2 second condiclense with good mobility and high heal output.
Also, not focusing on all the steal-buffs, since most of them require a target, and if you steal to a target you will be out of position most of the time. Try to stay with your necro-party! BUT! The once I go for makes your steal a 20second CD with 10second of swiftness and Fury for your party.
In Deadly Arts I pick trait no. 3 over 2, cause it gives more escape possibility with your heal. It doesn't say on this page, but when you use a heal skill, you will leave a immobilize trap(30 second ICD).

Upgrade Item Details
With Soldier armor and weapons, you got the survivability you need to stick with your necros. Without, I find it too hard to survive, but was overkilling it with trinkets as well. That's why I picked zerker trinkets for more damage output.
With the zerk trinkets you can go for Sigil of Fire on your Shortbow, since it's AoE damage.
The Vampirism rune is your "Oh-shit" help. If you get jumped, bombed, or just can't disengade, they will help. Also good for the lifesteal in them, and the extra power.
V. Basic Gameplay
Just before every push, make sure to share the first three venoms(wait with Basilisk Venom). When you see that your Devourer Venom is gone on your party, then you can pop Basilisk. It's no point to give your necros both immobilize AND a stun.
