Which guy are you supposed to steal if from? Maybe a mesmer could force him to cast it by rapidly depleting his mana...

Never guilded ;-)

I got it from Riine Windrot with a henchie group since my luck with real people has been so poor in the midgame missions. A lot of the less mature players like to kill these bosses if you ask them not to in my experience.

It's easy to get with Henchies though.

I got it from the frozen forest. Jollen SteelBlight. It is also available in Thunderhead keep from Riin Windrot. I do not think you can get this skill from Snake Dance.

Those of you heading to snake dance are probably looking for Blood is Power. You have the wrong thread. (BiP is there; I have gotten both of these skills in the last three days.) Xennon's web site has been right on with all of the elites I have captured.

I got this skill off of a Flesh Golem boss in the outskirts of the town right after you complete the Thunderhead mission

I just got this skill and all I can say is "wow." My mana pool is virtually unlimited in groups... I can chain-nuke almost non-stop, cast Offering to refill, then start chain-nuking again.

Clearly this is going to be the key skill in the N/Mo UW and FoW solo build.

Wandering my own road.

23 energy at blood 18, equating to about the same as 3.6 additional pips of energy regeneration.

How can this skill give 23 energy at blood level 18?

Sorry if a NooB question... says 18 max. the games classes 12 max.. which dosent include runes.. gliphs, and enchanment spells... its posible to get 18 blood magic.. which means extra energy.

Sorry if a NooB question... 12 Blood with +1 Pattern and Superior Blood Rune + "Awaken The Blood" is a possible way -- bigger sacrifice though -- 15% rather than 10%.

Then there's +1 Blood 20% chance focus items and so on.

Offering of Blood is an awesome skill. I use it on my boon/prot monk all the time. It was awesome for PvP, I could heal like nobody's business...then they raised the sacrifice to 20%. Now, I have to be much more careful of when I use it. It was most helpful when I was almost dead and out of energy, cast Offering of Blood, then Reversal of Fortune, worked almost every time. Now if I'm almost dead and out of energy, I'm done for. I suppose that's why they raised the sacrifice, boon/prot monks were getting too good. Oh well.

I really think the 20% change was retarded. Personally... make it 1s casting time. There is a problem with a lot of skills that have >1 casting times for no reason. OOB was one of these.... give it 1s casting time and then on the one hand you have great energy management and the other is if they interrupt/disrupt in any way your screwed. Then there is some dynamic aspect to the skill.. not just the plain fact you sac way too much to be resonable.
