Blood Mage Suggestions (expanded)

Sanguimancy

Current -
Grants Skill: Life Remnants
Skills gain a Base Life Cost equal to Base Mana Cost

Suggested -
Life remnant pickup radius increased by 20%
Overlife reduced to 50%
Base life cost and mana cost split 50/50

Vitality Siphon

Current -
10% of Spell Damage Leeched as Life

Suggested -
Keep this as is - 10% of Spell Damage Leeched as Life

Add - 20% of leech is instant
OR - 30% of Spell Damage leeched as life from enemies on low-life


Open Sores

Current -
Your Curses have infinite Duration

Suggested -
Replace current with - All damage can cause bleeding on cursed enemies
(This will create amazing synergy with Blood Bards in its current state, shouldn't be OP considering bleed seems weak/unused at the moment)

OR -
Bleeding is automatically aggravated on enemies on low-life


Blood Barbs

Current -
Gain 10% of Damage as Extra Physical Damage
Elemental Damage also Contributes to Bleeding Magnitude

Suggested -
Replace current with - 25% chance for all damage to Aggravate bleeds
and add skill Blood Bomb - 25% chance for elemental damage to remove Aggravated bleeds and cause an explosion dealing the remainder of the bleed damage to the target in one hit, and surrounding enemies to take 20-40% of that damage.

OR (make it the spell equivalent of Impale) + Blood Bomb

Gore Spike

Current -
1% increased Critical Damage Bonus per 40 Life

Suggested -
2% increased Critical Damage Bonus per 10 life spent recently
(this might seem OP but it balances out by increased life being absent from the tree and favours leaning on defence, regen and leech)

Sunder the Flesh

Current -
Base Critical Hit Chance for Spells is 15%

Suggested -
Base Critical Hit Chance for Spells is 10%
Add - Critical Hits from Spell Physical damage have a 20% chance to Heavy Stun

OR -
Base Critical Hit Chance for Spells is 25% when on low-life


I would also add, swap the names around for Gore Spike and Sunder the Flesh, makes more sense.

Comments welcome.
