Not sure if this build is really all that origional or not, since I made it from scratch this BWE well fiddling with the custom PvP char creator. Basically it's a tank, a big ol warrior killing tank. A great arena soloer in general.

The build is pretty simple, it's got good damage, good self heal, and could solo Warrior/monks in the arena with ease.

I spent the points in curses just for Rend since removing healing hands, healing breeze, mending, or any number of other common healing enchants from my target far outweighs the extra little umph a point or two in my other attributes would get me.

Galrath over gash I like since along with Final Thrust it makes a really nice one-two punch, taking out an often unexpected ammount of health. That's just my rpeference really, i never tried it out with gash so i don't know what's better.

The strat was pretty simple. Generally I liked to wait for the opponent to come to me rather than me comming to them. That way I can throw on my hexes, shadow Strike em, and Rend if need be as they close in. After that I tried not to cast to many of my necro spells so I could get the most out of my adrenaline abilities. What do you all think?

Sounds like a nice build, i never saw it used in the BWE, not sure how it'd work on PvE but certainly on PvP it would be a killer

That's the idea , thx.

I was wondering if he could be a desent zealot farmer, since it has alot of simelar components to the Wo/Mo already. Any thoughts?

BTW I should mention the armor on him is pretty nice too, i used the 70AL one with Holy dmg weakness.

Quite a decent build, it seems its more conentrated at life stealing. However your build seems to be melee orientated and which means in PvP you'll be going up against warriors and just hope its not a W/Mo (alot are) with a judges insight otherwise you'll feel some serious damage Holy dmg + 20% armour Pent + armour Pent from strength attribute and if he uses penetrating attack on top of that.... Apart from that you shouldn't take too much dmg from other attacks and monks...well a PvP monk hardly carries much offensive skills so it should be a small threat.

Also btw since your going to be up and close, you might try and see if you can add in Vampiric touch, it steals more life that vampric gaze, short cast time and short recharge time.
