Build Notes

Gameplay Loop

Keep Decrepify up on enemies
Use Blood Wave to spawn a bunch of Blood Orbs
Use Blood Lance to deal damage
As soon as you get a corpse use Corpse Tendrils
Use Blood Wave and Corpse Tendrils on cooldown. When you get in trouble use Blood Mist to reposition

How It Works

This build controls enemies while dishing out loads of damage. Corpse Tendrils and Blood Wave gives you the ability to move and Crowd Control enemies, allowing you to dish out damage with ease.

It also has loads of self healing in the form of Blood Orbs, which we are able to spawn loads of and suck them in using our Blood Lance. These orbs will keep us at full life and fortify, as well as constantly supply us with resources and cooldown reduction for our Blood Wave.

In-Depth Explanation

Blood Orbs

Between Aspect of Potent Blood, Gore Quills Aspect, Blood-Drinker Glyph, and synergies with Overpower, Blood Orbs end up playing a vital roll. They keep us Healthy and Fortified, give us incredible amounts of resource generation, and even reduce the Cooldown on our Ultimate. The whole reason we are running the Gore Quills Aspect is so each cast of our Blood Lance will suck in nearby orbs.

Blood Wave

Blood Wave is useful due to its ability to create 9 Blood Orbs per cast, which gives us everything we need for the build to function. It also pushes enemies back, serving as a useful tool for controlling mobs. We are running the Tidal Aspect which will cast 2 additional waves of blood, and each of them will spawn 3 additional Blood Orbs.

Unique Replacement

In season 2 you will likely be getting your uniques much later into your characters development, but luckily this build still works well even without uniques. You can replace Harlequin with Aspect of Might, Blood Moon Breeches with Aspect of Embalmer, and Banished Lord's Talisman with Aspect of Grasping Veins.

While the build will lose quite a bit of damage from these changes, it will still be able to do most of the content in the game.

New Overpower Math

In Season 2, the way Overpower damage is calculated has changed significantly. It used to only scale off of your Life and Fortify, but it now also scales off of the damage of your skill. This means our build has changed to try and maximize the damage of Blood Lance as well as our Overpower damage.

Vampiric Powers

Prey on The Weak: Gives us a large damage multiplier while also giving 100% uptime on Vulnerable thanks to easy application of Vampiric Curse Sanguine Brace: Allows for full Fortify all the time while adding some damage to our Shadowblight Metamorphosis: Allows for much better uptime on Unstoppable while also being the main tool we use to apply Vampiric Curse Blood Boil: Mostly just used for the guranteed Overpower every 20 seconds. Anticipation: Gives us massive CDR on Blood Wave, allowing us to spam it for more Blood Orbs
