death perception is really strong, you should probably use it over foot in the grave.
the well healing skill ought to be better than signet of vampirism, especially after all the well traits your picking up.
@ 04:57 AM, Thu June 18 2015 Reply
The reason i chose foot in the grave is for the stun breaker since am not using any spectral skills and i picked signet of vampirism because with the new changes its passive heals you while you are in death shroud.Next week i will test to see witch works beter, but since traits dont affect stats anymore you can chose if you want to go for more dmg or survivabillity.
