regarding spirit bond and regarding cultist's fervour

I'm just wondering if anyone has any good ideas for builds that can use these, since I have them now.

What are situations when spirit bond works well on party members?
Does anyone know a good build using cultist's fervour? As far as the energy gain per health lost, it looks like Offering of Blood is better, but CF can save more energy, on 3 or more Heal Partys, for example. Can anyone give me some other ideas about this skill? Are there any good necro builds that use it, on this forum?

Thanks

Spirit Bond works best on squishy Leroy types...

For example:
-Assasins that think they are tanks
-Necro's / Monks covered in scars/tats that insist on playing on the frontline
-Squishies that get targeted but have no concept of how to kite
-and of course 605 farm builds

For Necro Builds look in the Necro forum.

you wont see many good Cf builds no matter what forum, might as well still try here.
I always thought party wide casts with CF as a monk would do great as when you don't target a person with the heal you get the divine favor yourself and cancel all or most of the sac...but its totally untested.

i am thinking casting live vicariously and vigorous spirit can minimise the sacrifice life bit, trade off being -1 degen... but since all your spells cost less now, that should be offset as well... maybe equip heal touch just in case hp goes low...

the only real way i see of making CF work (well) is going 55hp (or a bit more) and having high regen (mending ). that way you could spam spells and the sac wont hurt you...
