This is a little different than anything I've ever seen...It's not the best build in the world but it's unique and adds good damage and support to the group while being able to defend itself nicely.

This is with a wand/shield. If you are quick enough you can have an offhand item for most of the time and when the heat gets on ya switch to a shield, but its just something else to worry about.

Class: Necromancer / Warrior

Assumed items:
+1 to Soul Reaping
+3 to Blood Magic

Attributes: (cost)
Soul Reaping: 6+1 (21)
Blood Magic: 12+3 (97)
Tactics: 11 (77)

Total attribute points used: 195/200


Skills:
1) Life Transfer (elite) - (10,2,30) For 12 seconds, target foe suffers health degeneration of 8 which you gain as health regeneration. This is an elite skill.
2) Order of Pain - (10,2,0) Sacrifice 17% health. For 5 seconds, whenever a party member hits a foe, that party member does an additional 16 damage.
3) Vampiric Gaze - (10,1,5) Steal 61 health from target foe.
4) Well of Blood - (15,2,2) Exploit target corpse to create a well of blood at its location. For 21 seconds, allies in that area receive health regeneration of 6.
5) Frenzy - (5,0,4) For 8 seconds, you attack 35% faster but take double damage.
6) Healing Signet - (0,2,4) You gain 123 health. You take double damage while using this skill.
7) Shield Stance - (5,0,60) For 17 seconds, while wielding a shield, you have a 75% chance to block incoming attacks, but you move 33% slower.
8) "Watch Yourself!" - (4a,0,0) Party members near you gain +20 armor for 10 seconds.

Order of Pain + Frenzy when the heat isnt on your, gets your party to pelt the target with attacks and drop 'em quick.

When the heat is on you cast Shield Stance and Healing Signet. You'll dodge quite a few attacks and the double damage from healing signet won't hurt nearly as badly.

Life Transfer is there to boost your health when you need it and/or drop a tough target ASAP.

"Watch Yourself!" is your only adrenaline skills so it's very spammable. Everyone around you should always have +20 armor.

Vampiric Gaze is for that little bit extra heal/damage you need

Well of Blood is for support if you have extra energy.

I'd appreciate any ideas anyone might have....Like I said before this isn't the best idea in the world but it's unique and still performs.
