This is the build I have been experimenting with recently the group of friends I go with all are able to Heal/Rez so that would be why Rez is missing from this.

N/Mo

Dark Pact
Touch of Agony
Shadow Strike
Vampiric Gaze
Blood Renewal or Offering of Blood

Vigorous Spirit
Healing Breeze

Blessed Aura

I can deal 224 Damage in a matter of seconds. Vigorous Spirit "reduces" the amount sacraficed because it gives me 11+ health each time I cast plus the constant health coming in from the Breeze. Sometimes I replace Blood Renewal OR Blessed Aura with Offering of Blood to get more energy, but most of the times I don't need to. These abilities are cheap and cast very fast, obviously the only down side is the health from using the spells. This is how my fights usually go:

*Pre-Fight
Blessed Aura
Vigorous Spirit

*Fight
Dark Pact 40
Touch of Agony 50
Shadow Strike (I get the health bonus at this point) 82
Dark Pact 40
Healing Breeze
Vampiric Gaze 52
Touch of Agony 50
Blood Renewal
Vampiric Gaze 52
Dark Pact 40
Touch of Agony 50

By this time I have dealt usually about: 374 Damage
Now most do not focus their first attacks on Necro's so this works out for me, however when they do it can hurt because I only have Vampiric Gaze & Shadow Strike as two spells which do not hurt me. However this build brings pain very quickly and does it well. I would prefer the Monk spells which I use to counteract the sacrafice be better I haven't found much else to work well.

Any suggestions or Sacrafice Builds of your own please show them.

Blessed Aura is a waste of a pip of energy regen, especially on this build imo. 20% staff wrapping works just fine, I think OoB would work better in that slot for energy management. The only problem is, even though you've done about 374 damage, A: That's not enough to kill anyone, and B: It just took you a helluva long time. This build is a bit slow when it comes to damage, and just can't out-dps a touch ranger. Also, some of the orders you have skills in are a bit inefficient. You should start with Dark Pact, immediately Shadow Strike, and then use ToA and then Vamp Gaze. There's no point in using ToA directly after Vamp Gaze and Vamp Gaze directly after a healing spell. Anyways, good luck with your build!

Well, i see one problem so far, If you are sacrificing so much health, and halfway expect to die, won't DP screw this build over?
