This build relies on massive health degeneration and blood skills in melee fighting to put a lot of pressure but also benefits from the rareness of melee necromancers giving the user a slight edge in PvP.

Sever Artery

Gash

Virulence

Plague Touch

Vampiric Touch

Unholy Feast

Blood Renewal

Resurrection Signet

• Sever Artery, Gash and Virulence make a deadly combination giving the victim massive life degeneration, weakness and deep wound. You can use Plague touch to remove conditions from yourself while enabling repeated use of virulence.
• Blood Renewal, Vampiric Touch and Unholy Feast will allow for some self healing and/or to finish enemies with unblockable damage.

[edit] Equipment

• Tormentor/Necrotic armor provides additional armor which is very useful for close quarter encounters but remember the holy damage weakness. A Peppermint shield is also recommended due to the lack of requirements for another 10 extra armor.
• A Furious Sword is highly recommended to help charge sever artery and gash. A Perfect Enchant mod will extend Blood renewal for 2 more seconds giving additional life regeneration

[edit] Usage

• Just pick a target (preferably casters) and start using Sever Artery, Gash, Virulence and Plague Touch to panic and kill the victim. You can land a quick deathblow with Vampiric Touch too.

• Remember to heal with the blood line of spells when you have the chance, Vampiric Touch for single targets and Unholy Feast for crowded battles.

[edit] Counters

This build being a primary necromancer can't withstand the same punishment as a normal warrior. Holy damage is particulary effective against full Necrotic/Tormentor armor.

[edit] Variants

• You can use Hamstring instead of Gash to stop fleeing targets.
• You can also Switch Blood Renewal for Demonic Flesh to give you higher stamina at the expense of regeneration and sudden health drops via enchantment removal.
