w/n
i have been thinking about this build and why nobody has been using it. If you think about it a touch tank is better then a touch ranger in some ways. If you gave this tank glads armor, +5energy wepon and a off-hand with 12 energy(and a blood req) it would have 44 energy which is plenty of manna. this build wouldnt need a blinder b/c it could take more damage then a ranger, but at the same time this build would be better then a touch ranger for solo kills

the skills and atribs needed are

12 blood
9 sword
8 strength
9 tactics

vapiric bite, offering of blood(E), vampiric touch,sever artery, sprint,hamstring,blood renewal, diciplined stance

would this work?

Heya,

I don't really think this will work. Too much energy consumption. You have to attack, attack, attack, then sever and then hope to pull off your bites. You will lose a healthy load of energy to that. And the offering will not replenish you enough. I think you'll get to use your skills once or twice in the course of the battle, and all other times, you're just throwing a sword around. There's a reason why all the touchers are rangers, and not maxed out blood necromancers. Nor any other character type. Rangers can make it work by lowering the energy consumption rate.

A W/N would be better as a plague toucher

Cheers!

I agree with MalVeaux. The reason why Rangers work, is because of the reduction of energy cost through expertise. The ranger should have a high energy, but because of the low cost and the faster energy recovery, the ranger works.

The only thing that warriors have is armor. You are missing Plague Touch in your build. Take a look at the Touch Ranger setup, then see what can be replaced by the Warrior side.

Offering of Blood will not help, but maybe Cultist's Ferver might?

What is the big deal over vampiric bite what is wrong with vampiric touch or gaze?I though vamp bite was factions version of touch.

Try throwing in Bonetti's Defense for some EMAnagement. Futhermore, what is this for? PvE General, Farming, or PvP?
