I may have just made this build so I can call it a Rabid Vampire…. Rawr! 0w0

And yes I use SoV on this build. I feel like sov over time provides more healing then CC.

Yes what I posted is all BiS gear. Obviously if you don’t have it use the exotic equivalent. Like on my real necro I use a mix of Rabid and Settler Gear.

Anyway, simple condi spam build. You could swap warhorn with staff but I really prefer warhorn since it synergizes with siphon traits so well. With the high number of aoe attacks and the fast rate of attack on scepter, this build generates a good amount of siphon procs. Furthermore the siphons do damage like condi dmg; armor doesn’t block it.

This build is a lot stronger with team mates. Plague signet will take their condi’s. SoV will heal them and do dmg. My thinking is that siphons are unique to the necro. Conditions can come from anywhere. So if I want to put every condition in the world on my enemy, I just need to pull them off friends and jump into wells and fire, then plague signet or locust swarm the mess to my enemy. That way I can have my condis and siphons too.

It cost me about 20 gold to go from nothing to fully geared in exotics with this build. So very cheap and easy. If you got enough karma for a full set of rabid, it’ll cost less then 15g.

You could say this build is better without SoV. Idk. For a theme build it works ok. Don’t take this build seriously because I don’t.

I am a big supporter of Siphon builds via Vampiric Precision, but since you are using a scepter are you really getting enough healing from that trait?

I have always thought to make the most of Blood siphons you need to rapidly attack your target via dagger auto, axe2, etc.

I wish siphon dmg scaled better, I love the playstyle, but sadly its not effective.

Devs, buff it up please.
