Master Minor Trait (Your next attack will Leech health.

You might have forgotten something here...

All in all, anything that count life sleeching effects as extra damage is bound to be underpowered in PvE and be dangerously overpowered against players.

Yeah, ability names. I am too lazy right now to think of good names.

Yeah, true. Though, how else would you create a decent vampire elite.

It was more when the effect trigger. Next attack after what? Is it after a critical strike? after a corruption? after using a specific shroud skill? after switching weapon?... etc.

I don't think "vampire" should specifically be an excuse to add leeching effect. I had my own take at a "vampire" e-spec in december and there I explained the basis of the idea I had behing the thematic of the "vampire".

https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/21075/vampire-e-spec

@Dadnir.5038 said:What's a vampire? A creature that just drink blood? Anet showed that they like to emphasized on thematic, on the image you got of something.

A vampire is a creature that feed on blood yes, but it's also a bewitching beast that belong to darkness. It's often imagined as something that move quickly and can disappear from one's sight. There is also a lot of folklore that link vampire to nobility, showing them like refined gentlemen or distinguished ladies of the high society. The sight of blood often trigger their primitive instincts.

The goal was to achieve this "image", it wasn't to make a top dps high siphon spec. The "shroud" skills (F skills) are designed with different objectives:

• F1 represent the inherent blood sucking ability.
• F2 is here for movement.
• F3 embodie the bewitching ability.
• F4 is the dignity of a lord, overbearing presence that can just disregard any damage.
• F5 is here for the ability to disappear.

The sword is here to give the image of a refined duelist, which was often associated to nobility.The Blood symbiots show that it's a creature that rule over blood, even giving life to blood.

And lastly the traits try to support all of this. I've said it, it's not perfect in any way but it allowed me to write a few different ideas that I feel would fit the necromancer.

I e-spec I suggested was far from perfect and was pieced with a lot of idea that may not mesh well together.

hmmmm i like the vampire idea but.... as for conj weapons i prefer them to be a none-necro weapons like bows whips and greataxe (not a playable weapons) that would be awesome as for the traits some how i feel them lacking in some wayi would like to see a vampire elite but i would like deception skills and double swords with high mobility super fast shroud (or shroud skills)conj skills is good but i think they dont fit the vampire themegood idea overall >:D

Neither. Just your next attack. You don't need to get anything beforehand to trigger it, you just need to to get it off cooldown.

Well, yeah, that would be nice, but then it would take up whole 5 skills. And only changing 3 first skills would be more fun, i think.
