Trying out some of the Necromancer changes in B40 and as a whole like it a lot, but when I saw how high the sustain cost of Vampiric Gift was I was surprised. At 260 mana, it is almost impossible to use when it is available. It opens up at level 12 but unless you have a ton of + mana equipment. With a cost that high it is unlikely to be really usable until level 30+.
I would like to see the cost of this to go down to around 100 or maybe 150 on the high side.
Vampiric Gift Cost too High?

Re: Vampiric Gift Cost too High?
I'd say that 150 is cheap for an effect this powerful. Maybe it shouldn't open until level 20-something, because it's not feasible before.overgoat wrote:Trying out some of the Necromancer changes in B40 and as a whole like it a lot, but when I saw how high the sustain cost of Vampiric Gift was I was surprised.

Re: Vampiric Gift Cost too High?
As an update: Once my necro made it up to the low 20's he did have enough mana to sustain the 260 cost. Luck in finding several high +will and +mana items helped a bunch.
I would still say moving this talent to having a higher level requirement would make sense.
