gear

i got full tormentors from droks (that i have to get infused), wicked scar(+1curses), sup curse, sup blood, sup soul reaping, and i got a minor vigor that i found so i just put it on anyway. for a weapon Im using villinars staff.

with this build i get 315hp and 45 energy with 4 regeneration(45>>>>)

ive only tried this out once but i didnt do good at all(got 60dp before i even got in sf). I did much better with my blood magic and swordmanship n/w. i was wondering if anyone could tell me what i need to change or if i just need more practice with my build.

Well you have 3 superior runes in there which probably isn't a good thing unless you're looking to reduce the damage you're taking by means of something like Prot Spirit. Since there's no prot spirit in your list I'm not really sure why you'd want to go with 225 less health...

My suggestion if you're wanting to go curses & blood (which it looks like you are) would be to drop the healing side of things and focus more on your necro abilities. Ditch at least one of your superior runes to get your health up. You can go with 2 Sup's but I prefer just the one.

If you're playing with PUGS then Mark of Pain is really iffy. If they're doing physical damage it's great (until the aoe pingpong kicks in) but from what I've seen a lot of people love their fiery/icy dragon swords so you wouldn't get it triggering too often. Henchies are great with MoP since they do physical dmg AND follow the called target (unlike many PUG's)

I'm not a big fan of Insidious Parasite - too expensive and too little damage for me. Enfeebling Blood and Shadow of Fear are two great skills I'd look at getting, though if you're wanting to use Spiteful as your elite then you probably want to leave SoF at home. Parasitic Bond is also great if you're going more into the curses route - 100+ heals every 20 seconds and it's a nice cheap cover hex for your Spiteful.

If you're wanting to go more into the blood skills I recommend Vamp Gaze, Shadow Strike, Dark Pact (or Life Siphon), a well (blood or power) a battery-type skill (Blood ritual or Blood is Power) and maybe Enfeebling Blood & Shadow of Fear from the curse side of things to help out a bit.

Attribute layout I usually shoot for is something like:

Primary Attribute: 16
Secondary Attribute: 10
Soul Reaping: 10

Using only one superior rune.

Good luck with whatever you end up going with
