Ive been eying this for a while and I just got around to capping it today from that bug in the kurzick place.

Now im really liking the look of this but Im completely drawing a blank on what other skills I should use to run it in a PvE build.

Some Ideas would be nice.

None, free and clear

things that kill stuff fast so that icy can trigger more often. icy is a good mm elite. fiends will make it trigger often causing damage balls.

bone minions + veratas aura + Derv Disenchant...+ Icy Veins = mass walking bombs >_<...if they arent attacking you ...


listen to what the person above me said... Icy Veins is somewhat like an AoE ShatterStone, its a good spike ability and ice a hex... you could always use a soul barbs with it...

Not sure if this would work:

Icy Veins (e)
Dark Pact
Blood Drinker
Jaundice Gaze
Vampiric Gaze
Shadow Strike
Vampiric Swarm
Rez Signet

Basically:
Shadow Strike, Icy Veins, Dark Pact, then Jaundice Gaze, then Blood Drinker, then Vampiric Gaze/Vampiric Swarm if needed. Use Dark Pact as often as possible.

SR: 16
BM: 13
The rest can be used to whatever, as all spells are Blood Magic and Icy Veins, and 1 rez signet.

well if you have minions or even a warrior for that fact you could combine it with mark of pain for some crazy AoE damage. That and just blood spiking skills would work too.

IMO, it's better the player acts as the physical damage dealer (see my weapon suggestion) because minions aren't controlable in the least. Plus, this skill, unless you can find a way to make it a HUGE spike, wouldn't be very well welcomed into teams because it'd be so slow acting.
