Blood spike

Blood spike is PvP team build consisting of up to 8 Necromancers using Blood Magic spells such as Angorodon's Gaze and Vampiric Gaze to spike enemies. These skills are fairly effective, because traditional anti-spike skills, such as Protective Spirit and Spirit Bond, don't protect against life stealing. To compensate for the lack of Monks, each Necromancer brings a different defensive elite, along with skills of the same attribute. For example, one Necromancer might bring Word of Healing, a second would bring Restore Condition, while a third brings Divert Hexes.

Prior to the April 5th, 2007 update, Blood Spike teams included a Spirit spammer. The spirit spammer would constantly create new spirits, and as those spirits died, the Necromancers gained energy through Soul Reaping.

Blood spike has been nerfed on several occasions and is no longer a FotM build.
