Related traits

Death Magic

• Flesh of the Master — Minions have increased health. Gain carapace for each minion you control. Your minions are destroyed when this trait is reassigned.
• Necromantic Corruption — Minions deal more damage and take conditions from you. When a minion attacks, it transfers conditions to its target. There is a 10 second cooldown per minion.
• Death Nova — When you or one of your minions is downed, create a Poison Nova. Summon a jagged horror when you kill a foe.

Reaper

• Shroud Knight — Death Shroud is replaced with Reaper's Shroud, which has more melee-oriented skills and consumes life force at a faster rate. Gain access to shouts.
• Augury of Death — Shouts now siphon health. This effect is increased on foes in melee range.

Notes

• This skill summons the most potential minions possible for a necromancer, making it the best skill to combine with the Flesh of the Master trait.
• The damage absorption of the Shambling Horrors can combine with the trait Necromantic Corruption, making "Rise!" an extremely strong defensive skill against all forms of damage.
• Grants the necromancer the  Dark Bond effect.
• Shambling Horrors summoned by this skill do not give life force when they die but they do trigger the Death Nova trait.
