I play MM, so if any, it’ll be Soul reaping…

I am waiting to what changes to Blood magic are coming before I make my final decision but so far it looks like either Soul Reaping or Blood Magic. While the 50% crit and life force traits are nice I am also MM and dont think sacrificing the vampiric traits will is worth the Soul Reaping bonuses. Especially if this so called “Vampiric Aura” will increase siphoning.

Cant wait to find out!

I like my supportive on DS based Power build I run atm with Spite, Blood and Soul… and the armor was really expensive, so i think i will go for Blood, Soul and Reaper after HoT.
I don’t really want so sacrifice Spite cause of “Reaper’s Might” but I think i will do. And Soul Reaping is no option cause it works to great with the DS for my build.

Spite looks like obvious choice if we’re going for best chill synergy as possible and raw damage.

Curses lack a bit compared to others. One great thing I see is PoC synergy with Necrocopter being on 6 second cd.

Death Magic seems like a very, very good choice. Must-have for Rise! shout, brings Putrid Defense (and poison is rather easy to obtain on Reaper), scalling off toughness and Unholy Sanctuary/Death Nova.

Blood Magic, idk. I have yet to see the numbers. Last time we got fixed it was 1 bonus hp on hit. But Transfusion working through Shroud looks decent.

Soul Reaping… Solid choice. If burning is still okay damage with power/little condi dmg stats, might be a decent pick. Perception looks strong as always. Not sure about FitG. This line has always been solid.

So far, 4/5 lines seem great for various Reaper versions. Could be DM and BM with Blighter’s Boon for some interesting tank/sustain playstyle, could be Spite and SR for most damage output.

As for Curses, I’m not convinced. That PoC is good, but not good enough on it’s own and Reaper looks like power-based for the most part.
