Vampiric Touch

Description
Touch target foe to steal up to 29...65 Health.

Usage
With its tiny cast time and remarkable small recharge time, this skill can be used over and over to spike for very high damage. Unlike its sister skill Vile Touch, Vampiric Touch affords a healing component, so staying alive while at point-blank range while spamming this skill is not much of an issue. However, at 15 energy, the cost of using this skill over and over can be very high.

One effective strategy occasionally seen is to have four to five Blood Necromancers working in tandem, casting Blood is Power and/or Blood Ritual on one another to counteract the high energy cost of this skill, then all focusing their Vampiric Touches on a single target over and over, healing themselves for a tremendous amount while doing a downright frightening amount of armor-ignoring damage in a tiny window of time. If properly set up, this can be repeated very quickly indeed on different targets, and can be downright terrifying to face.

Moss Scarabs display similar tactics to these, only very poorly organized, so they are not so frightening.
