Soul Reaping

Soul Reaping is a Necromancer-exclusive attribute. It works by granting the character N energy whenever something dies "near you," where N is the Soul Reaping rating. There are currently no skills that use Soul Reaping.

Generally, for normal adventuring play, a rating of 4, 5, or 6 (including rune/tattoo bonuses) is plenty; the primary purpose of Soul Reaping is to keep boosting your energy as your team kills things, and if you're fighting very sporadically (such as a random PVP battle) it's not going to be nearly as useful.
