Death wears many faces.

The Grin Reaper

This voodoo mask has a chance, when you attack, to summon terrifying mirror images that cast some of your own active skills. At its heart the ghostly entourage grants you extra bursts of damage that echo your spells, all without costing you resources or cooldowns.

The appeal lies in the copies replicating your most expensive or powerful skills, multiplying your burst. Use the mask in builds that lean on a few hard-hitting active abilities rather than many small ones. My tip: a high attack frequency raises the proc chance, so the doubles appear more often and keep pouring extra damage onto the screen.

What the power text leaves open

The tooltip speaks of "some" of your equipped skills - which ones, how often the Mimics appear and how long they stay, it doesn't say. The power has no roll range either; every mask behaves the same. Only the trigger is certain: the summon is tied to your attacks. That makes The Grin Reaper an effect you take along rather than one you can plan around precisely.

Socket and attribute

A Socket is fixed, and a primary attribute rolls at 626–750. Since only the Witch Doctor can wear the mask, Intelligence is the only sensible attribute; the Mystic can straighten out a copy with Strength or Dexterity. With socket and attribute, the mask covers the basics of a helm even when the summon doesn't show up.

The many faces of death

The flavor text keeps it to one terse line: death wears many faces. That fits a mask that conjures copies of its wearer - suddenly the Witch Doctor faces the enemy several times over. The name plays on the same image: here the reaper quite literally grins.
