This combination isn't bad, but is difficult to do correctly. Mosquito Swarm being Intelligence based while Chloroform being Finesse based make a terrible combination on a single character. Not to mention the Magic and Physical damage will not be able to aid one another. I'd recommend having two separate characters with these skill sets rather than being set on a single character. The only Necromancer skills I would get for my Scoundrel combination are Bone Cage, Living on the Edge and Last Rites. After casting Rupture Tendon on your own ally, cast Living on the Edge. Have them cast Shackles of Pain on an enemy and You have one super dead enemy.
Picking up a point of hydrosophist on a witch allowed me to get the crafted scoundrel/hydrosophist vampiric hunger skill, and the blood rain skill, which worked well with leech and other necromancy skills and passives. Chloroform was fine for me for inflicting sleeping on low/no magic armor characters and for having an attack I could do from stealth, and to be able to contribute to magic armor attrition. Some characters, like Source Hounds at Fort Joy, have no magic armor at all, and sleeping can take them out of a fight for several turns while other things are dealt with, but their physical armor, health, and damage output are too much for a finesse character to deal with alone.

Chloroform makes no sense. Both your abilities and your melee damage is geared towards physical, making a skill to destroy magic armor quite uninteresting

This armor on female elf witch class preview (as well as elf wizard) was redesignet after release. Are there any ways to return beta look?

What does Witches has to do with Scoundrel and daggers, what were they thinking...
I think I finally found a way to make this class work. Focusing on finesse and using the ambidextrous talent allows me to dish out good hybrid damage without splitting up my stat allocations. It is versatile but it's also expensive to play and not very viable for earlier stages of the game.
