Cant decide on my last few skills for my blood necro.

Ive decided to use these so far.

1.Life Transfer
2.Life Siphon
3.Vampiric Gaze
4.Shadow Strike
5.Vampiric Touch
6.----
7.----
8.----

What should I put for my last three slots?

Thanks in advance.

Dark Pact
Awaken the Blood
Rez

Anything better than the rez?

No. Always carry a rez unless specifically asked not to.

is it pve?
is it pvp?

its pve

This is what I have so far.

1.Life Transfer
2.Life Siphon
3.Vampiric Gaze
4.Shadow Strike
5.Vampiric Touch
6.Dark pact
7.??? maybe well of blood?
8.rez

Might want to drop Vampiric touch, you don't wanna be too close. Well of blood would be nice. Might want to try Barbed Signet and Strip enchantment, Strip enchantment is very, very helpful. (Mark of Protection? no more)

Blood ritual?

1.Life Transfer
2.Life Siphon
3.Vampiric Gaze
4.Shadow Strike
5.Blood Ritual
6.Dark pact
7Well of Blood
8.Rez

mark of subversion is a good/fun spell to put in there.

Quote:

Yeah, I agree with seamus, well of power is a better elite than Life transfer. Take out vamp. touch, you don't want to get too close.

Man... not too many skills left:
1.Well of Power (cappable in mineral springs, the very last boss T-T... but i could do it with my n/mo as Minionizer and half prot monk, and 7 hench)
2.Life Siphon
3.Vampiric Gaze
4.Shadow Strike
5.----
6.----
7.----
8.Rez

When on a map where there will not be corpses, I DO recommend life transfer, since no corpses=useless elite.

Hmm, 3 slots though... strip enchanment and mark of subversion are nice, but I actually recommend some (1 or 2) secondary skills, go ahead and stare at your 2nd profession, combos almost always work better than pure characters.

I agree with Manfred....I almost always have one or two Elemental skills in my necro's skillbar. Usually Fireball and Inferno/Flame burst, depending on how fast I think I may need to recast it.

I like:

Dark Pact
Shadow Strike
Barbed Signet
Vampiric Gaze
Life Transfer {E}
Life Siphon
Blood Ritual
Resurrection Signet

Life Transfer gives you free reign to spam Dark Pact as much as your energy allows, though selecting separate targets for LT & DP is recommended. Same goes for Life Siphon; casting degen spells on targets right before your party spikes them to death is a waste of time and energy.

Most parties really aren't looking for a blood necro to crank out the damage, though, they're looking for a battery. Here's my battery build:

Dark Pact
Shadow Strike
Barbed Signet
Vampiric Gaze
Life Siphon*
Blood Is Power {E}
Resurrection Signet
Well of Blood

*You can sub in a skill from your secondary for this one. My favorite so far has been Serpent's Quickness.

One last note: make sure your party's monks know you're using Dark Pact, or they'll waste a lot of time and energy healing you when you don't need it. Dark Pact does not trigger Healing Hands, Healing Seed, Mark of Protection, or Reversal of Fortune. It might trigger your monks' tempers, though, if they waste these (OK, maybe not Reversal of Fortune) on you.

cover hex, i.e. parasitic bond

I am a huge fan of Strip Enchanment and Mark of Subversion. I also like Blood Renewal with high blood and an enchant + staff. BR would give you even more DP spamming power so i think any of those would work very well in your build.

I would put rez (needed )
demonic flesh(majorly boosts ur health for a long time)
well of blood ( helps party regen)
