Guild Wars 2

I decided to make a build with every life steal option i could grab. It offers really good sustain, along with really good power damage. I know blood offers some life steal traits, but until they buff it its still not worth it imo

Im wondering if anyone else has a similar build and would like to share

I tried a build almost identical to this within the last 3 weeks.

The sustain was terrible. It killed people just fine but don’t kid yourself thinkin this is anywhere close to good sustain.

I just Wikied all the stuff to see if this is true. Life steal food heals for 325, 1sec ICD. Sigil of blood heals for 453, 2 sec ICD. Vampirism runes heal for 975 each on the x2 and x4, each with a 15 sec ICD. Dagger #2 heals 207 per tick, with 9 ticks with a 12 sec CD. keep in mind all these lifesteals also hurt the enemy, not just heal you. Sure its not full cleric or apothecary sustain, its pretty good with 1800 toughness and the dmg you can put out.

Please change the name to something different. Vampire build without Blood is false advertising.

I’ve stated why i didnt take blood. While technically not full vampire, getting only 39 health on crit and 31 on hit is very lackluster, and gimps your damage a lot.

no wonder you think the sustain would be good you’re just theory crafting off the wiki and a builder. This build has a solo pve level of sustain.

I’m not saying the build may or may not be effective. Just not a vampire build.
