Since ive started guild wars just after it released i have been facsinated with the necro, more specifically blood magic. After trying almost every blood skill in the game and dozens of differant builds, with every differant secondary profession i have come to one that works quite well, although its usefulness in high end pvp is yet to be seen, it is certainly original and alot of fun in pve.ok so anyways heres the build

W/N
15 blood 12+hat+major rune
11 soul reaping 10+minor rune
8 tactics

Skill 1 Demonic flesh: 5 energy.enchantment. sac 20% health. for 60 seconds your max health is increased by 200

Skill 2 Awaken the blood: 10 energy.for 44 seconds you gain +2 blood and curses and when you sac health you sac 50% more.

skill 3 flurry: 5 energy. for 5 seconds your attack rate is increased and you deal less damage in melee.

Skill 4 bonneties defense: 8 adrenaline. for 8 seconds you gain 75% to block incoming attacks, and when you block an attack you gain 5 mana, if you use a skill this skill ends.

Skill 5 Dark Pact: energy 5. sac 10% max health and deal 48 shadow damg to a target foe.

Skill 6 Vampiric Gaze: energy 10. steal 60 health from target foe.

Skill 7 Vampiric Touch: energy 15 touch target foe to steal up to 74 health.

Skill 8 (ELITE SKILL) Offering of blood: energy 5. sac 10% health and gain 20 energy. 15 second recharge.

equipment: necrotic armor set, al 70
max damg fellblade(cuz it looks so damn cool ) with +4 def
16 al feather sheild req 8 tactics.

ok so there is the run down on this build. this is not the end all equip or rune setup, hopefully i will get a superior rune to replace my major blood, and a superior vigor to augment my health, and a plus health max al shield.

ok so here is the purpose of this build, it is a very all around build, it can be a tank, a soloer, a incredible single target damg dealer, and a team supporter. this build can be modified sllightly to get any number of differant effects, using a few more stances with life siphon and well of blood, it can be an insane tank. with a decent healer to back it up, it can use dark pact, and the vamp skills with bonneties and offering, to have endless mana and just insane amounts of armor ignoring damage.

the setup above is a soloer, or a tank/damg dealer hybrid for a great team asset.

with demonic flesh and awaken the blood, this build can have over 700 health, and with bonneties and all the health stealing skills, and with the overall defense of 90, 70+16+4, can be an insane tank.

In pvp im not totally sure on this builds usefulness, i can certainly see it being a tank shreder, with all its quick cast high damage armor ignoring attacks.I have very little experiance with pvp in this game, and will soon be diving head first into it with this build, and i am very interested in any comments, suggestions, or critics for this build, including changing the secondary(which i have tried before with dismal results). thanks in advance for looking at my build, and any comments you may leave.
