Profession N/
Name-No Name
Type PvE, PvP, GvG
Category Group Farming, Henchmen missioning, PvP/GvG
Attributes
Blood- 12+1+3 (base+hat+superior rune)
Curses- 12+1 (base+minor rune)
Soul Reaping- Any points left over
Skill Set
1.Life Transfer {Elite}
2.Life Siphon
3.Vampiric Gaze
4.Barbs
5.Enfeebling blood
6.Faintheartedness
7.Suffering
8.weaken armor/ Resurection signet ( PvE, GvG, PvP )

The purpose of this build is to make there health drop like a rock and/or to decrease there effectancy in melee.
First, You cast enfeebling blood and suffering on a group of creatures, followed by life transfer. Let the henchmen tank for you and start casting hexes and Dot's on the bosses ( If there are any ) and the most thretining opponent. Make sure if you cast barbs on a monster, that you target that monster untill it's dead. If you don't it's a waste of energy. Use Vampiric gaze as offen as it's possible, not only can it do lots of damage it gives you health.

Credit goes to myself and my guild ( Nocturi Legion ) ->>Blood- 12+1+3 (base+hat+superior rune)

Base - points placed in an attribute un-affected by other items eg, runes headpeices.

Hat - A headpeice with +1 to a particular attribute, in this case Blood.

Hope that helped.

Base - pure att points, not from runes or "hat"
