 * 1) I like it. quick nukes, great survivability. i run this w/o jaundiced because it's a little energy intensive, but other than that, it's an efficient killer is standard PvE. 75.67.81.141 21:18, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

Umm.. degen. --Dazra 03:39, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

As I mentioned in the build page itself, between Blood Renewal and a single Life Siphon target, you have 9 pips of regen, punctuated by occasional healing spikes from Blood Renewal, Aura of the Lich (which gives you the "when this enchantment ends" health whenever it would have ended, even if you renew it), Jaundiced Gaze, Blood of the Aggressor, and Signet of Lost Souls. You can even spam Life Siphon around to get more regen. I've dealt with 13 pips before (Conjure Phantasm + Conjure Nightmare) with only mild problems.

Why is it that people automatically assume that AoTL gets owned by degen? I understand you have half health, but with a build like this, there is no reason to get killed by degen unless you don't comprehend blood magic... &mdash; Nightshadow   12:02, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Needs BR, otherwise spamming dark pact and blood of the agressor is good enough. You should be constantly spamming those, but anything more spammed (ie jaundiced gaze) will butcher your energy until the target dies. --8765 12:30, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

Because of the fact that it only takes ~15 seconds of -10 degen to kill someone with aotl? Meaning you have to spam blood magic, and it's not hard to exceed the -10 either to coutnerract BR. I just find AoTL in pvp extremely risky. Also, what happens when you go against a build with accumlated pain and yo have deep wound lowering it further? or another blood life steal build? That "damage' isn't reduced. --Dazra 19:10, 15 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Questionablu true for PvP sometimes but not many mobs in PvE are capible to give you -19 degen. Most teams can't either unless they are a degen team probably expecially in the PvP arenas that it is marked for Ekrin 22:02, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

Haven't got round to testing thoroughly yet but looks ok. Have removed jaundiced gaze though, as previously stated above, it is too energy intensive. Currently running gaze of contempt in RA to counter the hordes of shield of regen monks recently. One last thing...Dazra, learn to read. I agree, -10 degen will kill AoTL necs quickly. However, if you look at this build, you will see that having -10 degen - and using the skills suggested, is highly unlikely in the suggested arenas. You should always have at least +9 constant plus spike heals. Try it before you comment. Cypher 22:47, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
