Shadowblight | D4 Necromancer Key Passive

Shadowblight is a Necromancer Key Passive with the following effect (simplified):
Shadow Damage infects enemies with Shadowblight for 2s. You and your minions deal 10% bonus damage to enemies with Shadowblight. Every 10th time an enemy receives Shadow Damage from you or your Minions while they are affected by Shadowblight, they take addtional X [20%] Shadow Damage.

Once you select Shadowblight as your Key Passive, you can't select any other Necromancer Key Passive. They're considered to be very important parts of your build, so it merits quite a bit of possible discussion.
