The vampiric and garbage regen shouldn’t even be the minors in blood magic IMO. The minors should be support traits like elementalist water magic trait line. Would like to see minors being transfusion, deathly invigoration etc. or something like that.
That regen trait, at least, has got to go… for the love of grenth. -.-
I feel that the vampiric traits shouldn’t be the traitable defense (or sustain) that the necro needs. However If you still want vampiric traits I suggest having short duration vampiric bursts rather then having them always always active.
If you have Transfusion rezz allies you should replace this version of Transfusion with Ritual of Life.
there are 2 different suggestions, it will help if you refer to which one you are talking about.
also the regeneration trait is equal in strength with other professions. The reason why it may be sub par is there is no synergy with the rest of the entire proffesion.
