Exterme PvP: Lich King Build: Turn Dead Players into Your Army

Players should have a consumable (maybe dropped by bosses) that summons a wraith from dead players ashes within a fat AoE for a period of time (reasonable time like a minute or two so you can farm more wraiths since the killing might exponentially speed up) into wraith minions, up to 100 minions per level, maxing out at 300 (could be less wraiths but then make them much stronger). This way, a solo player acting as a third party could jump into two clashing zergs and raise all the fallen from both groups as wraith bodyguards, building an army as large as a guild.
The vibe is like a lone wolf Lich King wiping out entire guilds with that kind of power. And if the node is lawless for any reason, this player alone could take over the entire node and wipe everyone out. Let the solo guy march over everyone else's corpses.
Sure any of the two parties could be trying to do the same, it's fine, at least the fight won't take 50 minutes anymore. The solo Lich King players would be the true heroes and make the best PvP videos and streams in AoC. And, on top of it if a wraith kills a player then a new wraith spawns from the ashes.
It sounds solid as is.

PvE means: A handful of coins and a bag of boredom.

during the "Ny'alotha Content Patch" -> Players could stack something up that had to do with the "Darkness/Insanity(?)-Stuff" during that Patch,
and a Solo Player became something like a SMALL RAID BOSS during that Event - and terrorised Orgrimmar for awhile and killed Horde Players who challenged him -> while clapping and beating and killing NPC-Guards of Orgrimmar at the same time.

I am in the guildless Guild so to say, lol. But i won't give up. I will find my fitting Guild "one Day".

But, for what @Arya_Yeshe is discussing, you'd need a "residue" system in place where the summoner had limited amount of time to capitalise on the residues before they dissipated. Goes without saying that the residue would be visible to class only.
What if the more wraiths you control, the more mana per second it drains? This would force the caster to put his hands on every possible boost like mana potions, mana steal, mana regeneration, and anything else they can use just to keep their mana above zero. If the mana hits zero, all wraiths will vanish. I think this would be a fair system.
The caster could also have the option to release wraiths by clicking a button, each click releases one wraith and there could be a button to release all wraiths at once.
I would keep the mechanic where, if a wraith kills a player, a new wraith is summoned from the ashes. Snowballing is where the fun is.
I think this is balanced and fair. If your wraith army grows too large and beyond what you can manage, you'll lose control and the entire army will vanish. Chef's kiss!
Could definitely work, for balance purposes you'd need to know variables for:
-theoretical mana caps (buffs with and without)
-mana per second values (is it simple multiplication values or is does it increase exponentially)
-consumption rates ( IE: 2 wraiths = 2x mana per second consumption or is it 2.5x, perhaps is 3 wraiths 5 times)
-wraith entity caps
Definitely an interesting idea assuming a player can maintain upkeep through various variables

Absolutely!
Imagine if people used skills or spells that traded health for mana and just kept pumping the mana like a mana junkie! You’re basically gambling with your life for your minions. Healers would be nonstop healing you, you’d be popping health potions, it’d be wild, always risking your life just to keep that mana flowing so you can maintain that mana upkeep
People and mobs will start taking down your wraiths, giving you a brief moment to catch your breath. But just when you think you've got a handle on things, your enemies start dying, and you regain more wraiths, throwing you right back into the rush of managing your mana and health at the edge of disaster.
This build would be one of the most engaging and exhilarating mechanics in any game, hands down people will put money into playing this build.
