There's certainly a viable Desecrate-build without Overextended. Hell, in a good team Overextended shouldn't even be very useful since they'll be sticking in one room anyways (kind of a requirement for spawns to work right) and Stretch Desecrate range is plenty for that. This opens up Shadows and, of course, Soul Survivor, making Nekros much more than just a Desecrate-bot. Doubly important, of course, since as long as Nekros gets just few kills, his shadows scale with enemy levels and thus he can actually provide a fairly bulky, expendable frontline while your DPS blows everything up. Now, the problem is of course fitting both, Soul Survivor and Intensify (to make the revive HP reasonable) without sacrificing any important stats (need 75% efficiency, Natural Talent and Stretch for Desecrating plus preferably some survivability).
