omg i suck...a whole lot

for the love of god help me.
Im playing in RA and im losing like 80% of the time.


Blood-13
Curses-13
Soul-4

Im trying to spike with this but even after I add +2 blood +2 curses and then copy the elite i can rarely take anyone down.

Im getting really frustrated so if anyone can tell me how to play this better, improve this, or create a better build all together it would make me happy.

Also, I only have prophesies...

Please dont flame me because I already have intimate knowledge of how much I suck...and its a LOT... One of the reasons you can't take anyone down is your lack of damage.
Desecrate Enchantments, Feast of Corruption, Parasitic Bond, and Barbed Signet are your only damaging skills, of which FoC does nice damage, but can be healed faster than you can cast them.

I don't play PvP, so I don't know the mindset of players (in RA), but good players will not be in groups, so FoC which is has an AoE effect, which you are not utilizing, isn't as good when enemies are not close together.
Using Awaken The Blood is not good if you use Barbed Signet (you may lose more life than you gain).

Rend Enchantments will kill you if your target has lots of monk enchantments on them.

If you plan to take on 1 enemy on your own, then here is something I'd suggest:

[skill]Price of Failure[/skill][skill]spirit of failure[/skill][skill]Parasitic Bond[/skill][skill]chillblains[/skill][skill]plague touch[/skill][skill]spiteful spirit[/skill][skill]insdious parasite[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]

Throw IP on a different enemy (so they can heal you each time they attack).

Soul-4 Do you play with a +15energy -1 energy regeneration as your main weapon set?
In pve with high soul reaping it's ok, but I think it's a bad idea in arenas.

At RA you should be flexible as you never know what teammates you will play with.
Means you should be able to do damage, to heal yourself, and have some defensive abilities.
Give this a try:

[skill]Awaken the Blood[/skill][skill]Life Transfer[/skill][skill]Life Siphon[/skill][skill]Faintheartedness[/skill][skill]Parasitic Bond[/skill][skill]Insidious Parasite[/skill][skill]Vampiric Gaze[/skill] [skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

5 of 8 skills on your bar give degen, do dmg and HEAL you at the same time.
Put 15 (superior rune) blood and 10 (minor rune) curses, rest in soul reaping. Always keep ATB up. Put your siphons on different targets to provide yourelf constant health regen. PB used as cover for your siphons/transfers, IP used on wariors and sins who try to spike you. Do not worry that you do not have much direct dmg spells. The degen you can make on one target is noticeable believe me: Transfer -9, Siphon -3, Faintheartedness -3, Bond -1. How many pips of degen? As any hex build it can be ruined with massive hex removing. It's been said so many times, so I'm just going to shorten it.

Don't use life transfer, blahblahblah terrible elite.
Why not :
30 second recharge
Runs in blood magic (curses/soul, much better)
Hex Removal > it

If you want to use a degen elite.

[skill]Corrupt Enchantment[/skill]

If you want to self heal, [skill]Signet of Lost Souls[/skill][skill]Parasitic Bond[/skill][skill]Feigned Neutrality[/skill]

It wouldn't call life stealing "defense" it's just a form of crappy self healing. There's more defense in skills like [skill]Reckless Haste[/skill] and [skill]Price of Failure[/skill]. Sins and warriors will still kill you regardless, most warriors are hammer in RA, so what happens if your insidious gets interrupt by a KD?

Also from my experience when playing warrior in RA I hit as much as 80 or so (don't really remember, haven't played warriror for RA in awhile) on regular attacks with my crits, far more then insidious steals anyway.
