"Ultility will always beat out flat damage in the end. Shadows of the Dead is my favorite skill for Crowd Control, sadly Nyx's Chaos beats Nekros' ability since it is an "I win" button, I'm suprised all the "I win" buttons haven't gotten nerfed by now, (How in the hell can then nerf frost, but not Nyx, Nova, Trinity etc, etc.)"

As I quote: "Depends, you can't really compare really from chaos to Shadows of the Dead, only because shadows of the dead gives nekros more bodies to loot from for more ammo/health. In a sense, in terms of keeping your ally's with a good health pool, dealing damage, and drawing aggro, cc, Shadows of the Dead is best, but in terms of just pure CC, Chaos is best."

Even though Nekros' SOTD may not be better than Chaos at CC, it does give you something that Chaos cannot: present you with more bodies, for more ammo, and more health balls. Even then, when you resurrect all heavies, they can quickly destroy the field, and be a very good CC on it's own.

"Nekros is kind of a conflicting warframe to build, since his two greatest spells Shadows of the Dead and Desecrate are affected by polar opposite mods. I have no Idea what the devs were inhaling when they decided this, Desecrate is best served with Power efficiency and Range.The Better the Power Efficieny equates to less Duration, which hurts how long your shadows can stay alive and the more Range you have equates to less power strength which hurts how many shadows you can have in your army."

You shouldn't try to enhance desecrate, because it's great on it's own. It's range is already great, and for you to put more range is like giving a baby unneccessarily large amounts of candy, it's just not needed. SOTD, however, lasts a whopping 25 seconds, but by a 10 second time, if you built your army right, they would've already destroyed your enemy's forces, so putting  duration on it isn't needed as welll. If anything, it would be just a tad healthy if you would shorten it's duration just a smidge. The best thing that you can really do is put as much power efficientcy on him as you can.
