I had an idea for a really cool setup. Its based HIGHLY around soul reaping, and minions. You make 2 minions for every dead person you can find, and they are batteries to steal health from, and to explode when they die. You maintain a VERY high amount of energy from all the death and low casting, and have 2 fire magic spells that all out smite your enemy with all of that energy regeneration. I'm not sure about the /E, but the general idea I would want to keep the same, so I am very lenient on the idea of bieng switched out of a /E and into a /W or /Mo or something.

Rodgort’s Invocation - Smiting
Meteor Shower - Smiting
Animate Bone Minions - Minions
Well of Suffering - Health Degen
Putrid Explosion - Exploding Goodness
Soul Feast - Health Boost
Taste of Death - Health Boost
Death Nova - Cast on minions

Remember, I am VERY open to not bieng a /E.

that build is all over the place
you have 4 spells that require corpses to use, corpses can only be exploited ONCE
soul feast is a horrible spell to use with MM build
putrid explosion does less damage then if you use minions and death nova, plus minions run up to your opponent so you will actually damage them
well of suffering is OK, but again with a MM build, use all corpses for making minions
if you are dead set on using fire spells, notice i said fire and not smiting, smiting is monk offense spells, use glyph of energy with meteor shower, exhaustion will REALLY effect a necro using spells that require 25 energy like minions and FIENDS (which i recommend adding to your bar)
and at minimum, put in verata sac
im assuming your using this build for PvE, cause in PvP death is not as usefull unless it helps your team's build as a whole

Okay, well how about this:

Death Magic:

Animate Bone Minions
Blood of the Master
Death Nova
Taste of Death
Verata's Sacrifice

Inspiration:

Channeling
Energy Tap
Ether Feast

Put max into Death and Soul Reaping, everything else into Insipration.
