Summary: The purpose of this build is to take out & down any casters who you feel may pose a threat to the victory of your team, before they know it. I will often see a monk being chases by my teamates, and while hes just running around spamming RoF or healing touch, ill stack Soul Leech {E} and Backfire, with a Defile Flesh for cover/less heals benefit, and the next time he trys and healing breeze or smite hex, hes done.

Notes & Concerns: This can survive just about as well as a Life Transfer+Life siphon build can under pressure from warriors or assassins. 5/8 skills on my toolset give me alot of health, so thats not a problem. Conditions and interupts are the only thing that really frustrate me when rolling this, but the satisfaction of the monk or me/e screaming "HOLY 5H!T!" makes up for it

Credit: meeeeeee...and all those annoying Me/E spell-spammers....o boy, they NEVER SAW IT COMING!! AHAHHAHAA

oooooooooo, may have to try this sumtime........

Rend Enchantments > Strip Enchantment...

You can use the other skills to heal ya anyway...

Nice build actually. though as far as pure skills go, despite the focus switching dilemma, Wither / Malaise will be good. Since Malaise Recycles fast [thank God], it's not as garbage as it used to be, keep them on their toes!

while ur at it, kepping the me/e spell spammer and malaise in mind, u may want to consider mind wrack as a possibility.........

The new mes dom skill Overload might work well in that build...

It's cheap to cast (only 5 e), and does damage to target during its cast without interrupting.

lol, i really like you avatar -Six-

but anyways: i dont like rend enchants cuz it hurts...and malaise give you -2 health degen, which can add the pressure on me when im being hacked away by a war or ass(assin) and getting bleeding and poisoned and stuff and aaahahhhhh its just annoying :P

Always put Mark of Subversion on first, as it tends to draw immediate Hex Removal....which it interrupts. Smart (and prepared) players can get around it, but it can be a real pain in a heated battle.

well lambent, u cud jus bring plague touch to piss of that warrior thats bleeding u..........

and spend another 5 energy every 4 or so seconds?? hmmm sounds risky, but ill give it a try. Blood renewal usually works for at least some time, but i dont like the sac part when under pressure
