I'm working on a Blood/Earth build that completely ignores armor. My stats are currently:

Blood - 15 (12+1+2)
Earth - 12
Soul Reaping - rest ( i think 4 or 5 )

My skill bar looks like this:

Awaken the Blood
Soul Strike
Dark Pact
Vampire Gaze
Obsidian Flame
Kinetic Armor
Strip Enchantment
Offering of Blood

I start a battle using Awaken the Blood, then Soul Strike for ~96 dmg, then Dark Pact for ~58, then Vamp Gaze for ~62, then Dark Pact again, then Obsidian Flame for ~94... approximately 368 points of armor ignoring damage.

What do you think?

You could take off Kinetic and 1 other skill for Touch of Agony and Crystal Wave.

If you want offense, then you should follow that advice.

Armor ignoring means you go for HARD damage. Strip Enchantment is pointless. It ignores armor so why have it? To heal yourself? [if you're in random arena, I can imagine so]

Kinetic armor is great if you can keep spell casting non-stop. With blood magic's Offering of Blood, it would seem that you almost can.

But yeah, you should chuck that for Crystal Wave. more armor ignoring fun.

how close do you have to be for crystal wave to work? melee range?

OMG why does everyone use dark pact with awaken the blood

ive seen at least 20 builds using those 2 togethor

when u use ATB it makes u sac 60% max health with dark pact so u are sacrificing about 300 to do a mere 60 dmg

instead of dark pact use stone daggers

Just a correction, but soul strike isn't a skill. I think you mean shadow strike.

Yes, its melee range.

Awaken the Blood increases the amount of health sacraficed by a multiplier of x1.5. That means Dark Pact and all other 10% sacrafices becomes 15% sacrafice.
It is of my opinion that you've never actually used Awaken the Blood with a sacrafice skill, because that statement is rediculously inaccurate.

Why the kinetic armor? Armor of earth is better in almost all cases.
