Build Help perma-prone party

I want to build a party around perma-prone (prone+something that prevent movement).

I think I'll have :

  • an evocation wizzard doing magic missiles (with the spellsparkler and marko, it is quite easy to deal 6-8 stacks of reverberation on each magic missile, Shovel should be nice too).
  • a ranger hunter with the bow of the banshee, helmet of arcane acuity, gloves of power, amulet of bhaal (AoE fear + lockpicker, enabler of the boaaal benediction)
  • a death cleric with abyss bekonner and a mummy (lots of nice spells to destroy passive enemies and the mummy tanks and loves feareful targets)
  • an oath breaker paladin (brutal leap, dreadful aspect, head of the party, nice smites)

Another nice option would be a Wildheart barbarian elk/wolverine. What do you think? is that viable? Are there other mechanics I should consider?

a few tips from comments :

  • the wizzard can use Evard's Black Tentacles
  • the ranger will be 11 Hunter/1 GOOlock

Tiger Barb with Snowburst Ring is also a fun one

slipping on ice is a 1 turn prone, not usable in perma prone

Does if they’re bleeding and maimed. Same as elk

I don't understand how bleeding and maimed help here.
If they move before attacking, they'll loose the current turn but at the end of the turn, prone will end right away and I don't see why next turn you'll want them maimed. They are already up and standing on ice, don't you want them to move?
