basic principles behind the build:
- switch wep + enter DS puts 5 stackss of bleed on nearby enemies + weakness
- insane point/area control with marks and wells
- fast lifeforce regeneration with spectral armor @ 50% hp trait and 3% lifeforce on marks
- can own thieves in invisible house
20 points remaining to place however you want.
10 more points into death magic can you 3sec protection on wells.
10 points into blood can get you mark of blood magic upon dodge (faster bleed stacking)
10 more points into soul reaping can get u either stability 3sec on DS or 5 second cooldown DS.
10 points into power for retaliation on DS
scepter/dagger + staff
use bleed rune upon swap on scepter and staff and w/e u want in the dagger.
carrion or rabid amulet. both will work (i would say carrion is better because you get plenty of crit from fury 5 seconds DS trait)
dolyak, necromancer or undead armor will all work good.

Looks interesting, however, the long cd on the wells is, imo, a problem. You are more or less a 45-60 sec wonder.
Also, it seems that more and more people just dodge out of the wells radius making them a gimmick more or less
Don’t get me wrong, though, I like the idea behind that build.

all the other utilities are pretty crap lol
to stop people from dodging out of the wells wait till they commit themselves to take you out. never jump in and use them offensively because like you said people just run out. they are also good when there is a downed enemy and you cant finish him because you are fighting someone else.
The blood magic 10 point trait Mark of Evasion, can be used while in DS, and applies an extra 2 bleed stacks for your combo.
(should be 3 stacks, but the trait is bugged, at the moment, instead of the extra bleed stack it is a blast finisher for some reason)
I had a good run with a well build getting me a few ranks in sPvP, but a few ranks up the matchmaking put me with better players and no one was standing in my wells anymore. Even having a toughness build and standing in them hoping someone will melee me does not work anymore.
Still a well timed Well of Power (see what I did there?) is useful for making the enemy condition builds screw themselves over.
