    Hi Reblazed,

    Spot on indeed. Reason being, this build is a hemomancer, not a blood mage. It can be considered a variant or even a different class altogether in that it still utilizes the fundementals of blood magic, but it's execution of techniques are completely different.

    Am glad you like this build and hope you have fun with it

     Enjoy! The playstyle is very dangerous and it really keep you on the edge of your seat in terms of build mechanics and damage control. Am sure you'd enjoy it.

    No problem Warlock. I tried a lot of different things including dropping Namira's Ring. What do you play on? Also, would you care to start a new game and attempt the glitch? Both quests can be done early on and it might just be me.

    This is great! I have a question though and sorry if it sounds newbish, but if you unequip the drain life spell can you re-equip it again without having to go through the ritual? Also, can you favorite the spell as well?

    Once again awesome build! I think the concept is absolutely, completely creative and original! LOVE it +1!

    Hi Penguin, 

    Thanks for the like and hopefully you'll find this build enjoyable! To address your concern, nope, you can't re-equip the powerful version of drain life without having to under go the ritual. 

    I understand that some people who play casters have this habit of "Double tapping" a spell in the heat of battle (ie: hitting the posion rune spell twice accidentally). This is exactly why i ensured that there would be summons to cover your back in the middle of battle and a follower to act as tank, should the situation arise.

    You will have to undergo the ritual again to re-gain that power.

    What a shame, but oh well, I'm willing to do the ritual as  many times as i have to, and thanks for the reply! I'm sure that info will come in handy also thanks for sharing this wonderful glitch with us. Once again great build!

    Awesome, keep me posted. This is one of the first builds that I had to try right away. Needless to say, great job! :D Also, the RoN isn't too big of a loss. I don't mind wearing the ring personally. I was just hoping to have the Cannibal Perk in addition to the Ring of Erudite :p

    HI Alastor, 

    Did a test with 2 new toons.... the first one could perform the glitch whilst the second couldn't. I think it's an intermittent thing but either way, i think patch 1.9 could have made some character creation wonky for performing the glitch.

    Oh well.... you could try to re-create another toon or just drop RON altogether... sorry mate

    I'm currently opting to use the RoN just as is. The Regen is too good to pass up. I appreciate the effort and input. I'll test it on some of my other builds and see if I can get it working. Love the Ritual of Chaos btw :D
