Curse

I drop curses for blood and run:

Barbed Signet+Blood Bond+AP+YMLAD (I cast this in conjunction with Barbed Signet for the KD)+EVAS+FH!.

I favor this over MoP because Barbed Signet+Blood Bond=hex and condition+heals all minions and Heros near the target. Plus, it hits all nearby enemies, spreading Hex and condition. I realize the bleeding is redundant with all the jaggeds running around and with YMLAD, but honestly I find enemies dying too fast for MoP to be truly useful. The health boost (+17 per hit, +68ish to all adjacent allies when foe dies) speaks for itself.

Any thoughts or is this old news?

I only see 6 skills on that bar, which are your other optionals? If you take curses then the skills are obvious Mop+Barbs and possibily Enfebling Blood and Rigor Mortis. But wich optionals are you going to use in blood line?

However you have to remember that discord isn´t Mop friendly, so you won´t ever get the full potential from that skill. You can try to put something like rend enchantments instead of MoP to take some utility, but if you want to squeeze Mark of Pain, try to use a Mop AP nuker, with some physicals heroes (or casters with spears) and you will notice a big difference. AP Mop nuker outruns Discord by far.

I think possibly he realised this, and therefore has removed it from his build?
It's Blood, not Curses.

So let's get this right;

16 blood
10 Deadly Arts
9 Soul Reaping

1.Blood Bond
2.Barbed Signet
3.Assassin's Promise
4.You Move Like A Dwarf
5.Finish Him
6.Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support
7.Strip Enchantment
8.Oppressive Gaze

It's fine for a discord build, but meh. Without running Discord the MoP will always win.

Signet of Deadly Corruption.

With AP, Rend Enchantments is more useful than strip enchantment. I rather take SoLS than Barbed Signet.

That's because skills 7 and 8 don't really matter. I usually bring Rez sig and an AoE curse. I've tried the MoP build with physicals, but Discord feels quicker.

I would only run Rend with Mindbender now. Generally a monster won't have more than two enchantments active at one time anyway.
