Instead of using Blood is Power, I often bring the Well of Power along. While it does require a body for use, it has many advantages.
- Recharging multiple monks and nukers simultaneously. (+2 recharge)
- Pressure reduction for monks via healing. (Blood at 18 gives +6 healing)
- With a fast skill recharge focus/weapon you can keep 2-3 wells up at a time.
- No sacrifice
- Self heal and recharge

I often find that players are not familiar with WoP. Once I tell the party "Jump in the well to heal and recharge", they usually learn pretty quickly! (As long as party chat is on, LOL!)

If I will be entering an area with limited bodies, I will put on Blood Ritual to keep the monks happy.

This allows my necro to be very flexible in his builds. I use it for blood spike, MM, protector (with /Mo), etc. Just can't do Spiteful Spirit or Orders builds, though, since they are elites as well.

I think it's one of the most useful party support skills!

If you don't use BIP you are no BIP anymore. :P

Uh, I can keep up to 6 otehr casters topped off in FoW with the build I use, the sac doesn't matter mch and I can stay alive against lots of aggro. Anotehr thing about wells is that bodies tend to flal more in the front lines (if you have one/two good tank(s)), so the casters would be in danger if they went into the wells. I mean, in missions like vizuhna square, Wellers are amazing to have around because they keep both parties up. If you like the healing aspect, bring Well of Blood, I find no reason to run Well of Power over blood is power in a battery build unless it's like vizuhna square.

Also, I personally run Order of Pain and Well of Power as my elite in order builds, because you can't use OoV and OoP at the same time.
