Talk:Vampiric Spirit

I think this might be useful for a minion master, the soul reaping will balance out the aditional cost and the health steal will balance out the sacrifice Skuld  05:46, 13 April 2006 (CDT) This skill sounds very overpowered. All you would need to do is line players around their enemies and use a spamable skill, which would kill surrounding players very fast and heal you at the same time. The extra 3 energy cost is no problem, you could just use something like Channleing.

Ooh, combine with Unholy Feast for even more health stealing fun! XT-8147 20:34, 12 May 2006 (CDT)
 * That would require you to be W/N or A/N...;you don't want to be close range with 60 or 70 armor.--Life Infusion 21:43, 14 May 2006 (CDT)

Arborstone Explorable?
General question: Has anyone actually been able to locate Kaswa Webstrider in the explorable region of Arborstone to cap Vampiric Spirit? I've been on several runs though there now looking for this Elite with no success. During my runs, I've noted the bosses I have ran into and posted them, and never have I ran into a Kaswa Webstrider.


 * I know it is in the mission, but i can not vouch for it being in the explorable. --Jamie 09:00, 16 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I captured it in the explorable. I found Kaswa right where Xennon's elite location site said he was (which happens to be the same spot as Dark Fang, according to his site).  --68.142.14.39 09:53, 16 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I can confirm that he's located here. I just capped it yesterday. [[Image:Chuiu Me Icon.png]] (T/C) 10:05, 16 May 2006 (CDT)

Uninfusable blood spike
580 lifesteal with 5 bloodspikers, whee fun! if you took 6 spikers then one could take blood is power and keep the rest up &mdash; Skuld  09:43, 8 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Well if you assume that you are all spiking the nearest target, and everyones nearest target is the same. 580 is also not enough to kill in GvG where players health can be over 600 hp with use of hale/fortitude and +health armor. --Draygo Korvan 09:49, 8 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Use 6 then, or Shadow Strike &mdash; Skuld  09:52, 8 June 2006 (CDT)
 * It's a random nearby target, not the nearest target. You need cooperative enemies to make this really work.  --JoDiamonds 06:43, 17 July 2006 (CDT)

Vampiric sprit, solo build/necro team build.
i was thinking of making a build based around this and Dark aura since it counters the affect of dark aura but still ups the damage. like casting any blood sacrafic spell will do around 150 dmg to said target.

Elementalist Primary
This works with ANY spell, I see, not just blood magic or necro spells. So if this makes stone daggers cost 8 energy, will you get 3 back from your attunement? Will Aura of Restoration be affected by the extra cost? --Crazytreeboy 01:39, 8 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Neither attunements nor aura of restoration are affected by the +3 energy cost from this. Just tested.  --68.142.14.25 02:29, 8 July 2006 (CDT)
 * That's correct. However, E/N using Vampiric Spirit should probably use Ice Spear rather than Stone Daggers.  Ice Spear does the most damage out of the cheap spammable spells, and the "disadvantage" isn't relevant when trying to trigger Vampiric Spirit.  Additionally, this lets you easily take a snare to slow enemies down, keeping them in range.  --JoDiamonds 06:45, 17 July 2006 (CDT)

While the Rhythm Drinker does have this skill, the Rhythm Drinker is not a Boss so it cannot be captured. Mercurius Ter Maxim 17:16, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
