Siphonmancers?
I find this very funny because I play a powermancer build that relies heavily on siphoning and I’ve been loving every second of it.
The trick to making health reclamation work is to hit the bad guys with a multitude of attacks at once. Stack wells and start slamming away with a dagger, pop 2 on a regular basis and you’ll find that your health bar remains steady.
The only real downside is that on some of the harder dungeons you need to be extremely aggressive i.e. always attacking something. Usually if I stop to rez someone I’ll end up going down simply because I’m no longer getting health back. Another downside is that it only really works with dagger. The other weapons are simply too slow to be effective. Staff especially.
I don’t claim it’s the best build, but it’s definitely viable.
i have no doubt it works in pve. i was talking more about a pvp standpoint in which i use the staff for control skills and a third condition wipe rather than lifestealing. i rather enjoy the playstyle but aha it’s just useless from what i’ve experienced.
wont work in spvp, siphoning is like mantra’s and takes you a long time facing your opponent and only the last few hits gain you any hp. iow. you will be dead burned stomped danced on and ressurected before you finished casting that spell.
Tried siphon on wells too but its also not good , basicly siphon is only useful o a healing necro in wvw or something.
