W/N

I made a W/N and right now I'm only level 6 but I'm really enjoying the Sever Artery, Gash, Life Siphon, an Vampiric Touch combination. I have been putting all my attribute points into Swordsmanship and Blood Magic, but I was wondering if a N/W would have been better?

N/Mo

It depends on how you play. Some people prefer N/W because they use the blood skills so much that the energy constraint of being a warrior would be detrimental to their build.

On the other hand, some people prefer W/N because Strength is more usefull in a pvp environment than soul reaping, and warriors have higher defence armor.

So it's really just about the energy. If you feel like you have enough energy now and its not likely to be a problem, then stick with W/N. But if you are constantly in an energy bind you may want to consider N/W. Or, get a zealous sword. Swords attack fast enough that you should be able to keep your energy fairly high, despite the cost of Necro skills.

Soul reaping is horrible. Well, pve, it passes, but pvp your much better off with strength. Whatsmore, you get actualy armour... wow. and you dont get focused, so if youve got something good you can do it without getting disturbed. As phobas saus, you might care about energy, but for example sever artey gash requies none.
