You should note, only the second stage to sanquinate is the dash. The first being just movement speed boost. Got lucky (finally) with these essences since first couple hours after patch. Fun fun build. Love your videos!
Wouldn't it be a nice option to use skewer instead of whirlwind, swapping concorde for besalver and one offhand for hawthorne? Thus you'd get the bonus to damage from skewer, even if you loose a dot. Thanks, would love to hear your feedback :)
if you are just not moving it will kick you out. But if your moving while on sanguinate it doesnt cancel. Not sure if it was intended. Also Im not sure if its just visual because I can see that the movement speed buff gets removed.. you will suddenly slow down
@@MinMaxRPG It actually works too bad tooltip not showing properly unlike the Solemn Snare (shoulder essence for Swarm of Bats) that indicates it as a buff.
I'm waiting for a couple essences but definitely plan to cover ST when possible. ST is probably the biggest weakness they have (even more than mobility imo).
Skewer leap does some very good damage. Deceptive from the tooltip imo. Thanks for sharing to help other low reso if they're looking to drop Sanguinate.
A lot of people swapped to try it and have reverted. I agree the class was well done and I'm surprised it wasn't more powerful at launch but happy it wasn't.
I think Swarm of Bats the aura type is actually a one time cast, beneficial duration doesn’t seem to extend the timer at all. The SOB essence that extended by beneficial duration its the one that makes u wraithform. 😅
im running identical build except with skewer instead of whirlwind. i like it, BUT sanguinate i wish was just a little faster and a little longer. i feel slow even though im in fast mode and im running blessed pebble and hope. also, one thing about the blood night is it feels to me, and i am not sure if this a real thing, that the animation casting speeds are super fast / snappy. skewer animation feels faster than say a crusaders falling sword or even a monk's mystic strike -traveling scold. wave of blood animation feels super fast. it make sense if the class is suppose to be a twitchy vampire type attacker, but I dont know if this is skill animations are actually faster or im just losing my mind and being bias to seeing new skills. also the swarm of bats and siphon blood aoe damage is a little underwhelming, i excited / hopeful it is much stronger at level 4 mastery.
The scaling of essence mastery is going to be interesting for sure. The damage already feels like it's in a balanced spot given the gap closers and cc.
I see everybody going after that helm. I find siphon blood being channel is epic. Because the set items that boost channel as well as the 1 star gem that reduces channel consumption really stretches it out.
Hi Lida I want to ask there is a free legendary on completed task 3 on crimson plane event but before I can select my app closed. How to get my legendary rewards?
never mind I know now how to find it thanks just to answer the question for others who might experience this in the future its inside inventory miscellaneous tab.
Is there a bug allowing BKs to make everyone lose the names on screen? It's been happening against certain bks. I'll restart app and it works until someone else uses this esse/skill bug (I'm assuming)
i have some confusion with sanguinate, and i've tried it multiple times in pvp i don't think sanguinate is a wraith form-like skill, i do still take damage and get cc-ed with sanguinate on, whereas for bats wraith form +move speed shoulders skill it performs almost exactly like wraith form been running skewer dash stun, cold whirling, big aoe knockback wave of blood, and wraith form bats, and its performing ok but i still feel monk performs much better with fate alight shoulders +54% damage and big cyclone cold aoe skill. im currently at essence mastery 2, so im being patient with bloodknight until max essence level
There is mixed info on Sanguinate and it seems to work and not work on other occasions. I have video from multiple people showing this at times. I don't know if it's very buggy or what the issue is. I can however say that if you activate the dash effect you are definitely susceptible to cc.
Grace/Banquet have some viability in all content along with Gloom to a lesser degree. The Blood Knight can actually make use of a lot of sets and unfortunately will benefit from having more than a single set.
Nice.. I've been waiting for the DOT focused build for BK and finally it's out. Thanks for another great content Lida. I have a question though, what one star leg gem can be used for BK aside from berserker's eye or tormented soul?
One problem tho is that thst class got so many channeld skills and longer cast/cooldown time that there barely is time to throw all skills at once when need like in fast paced pvp
which skill are you talking about? siphon blood channeling can be removed to just follow you, spear flurry channeling can be removed also it becomes a triple dash move.
I agree with the default or baseline skills being an issue but once you have some of the essences to transform them they're a lot less clunky. What will be seen later is if new essences prevent us from swapping them off due to the default skills having issues like you say.
BOE 4 pc is hands down better than 4 pc grace for farming mainly bc you have high chance to crit constantly thus increasing your burst chance to quickly clear mobs. As a player with 4 alts and used several different sets. I always go back to BOE for running through rifts, defense, circle farm.
I don't have a good answer for that yet. I think we will need to see more essences tbh. It seems like the vast majority of the slots give 10% damage to whatever ability you have slotted. Basically pick your favorite, atm the MH slots followed by pants are probably my personal favorite.
I wish I could edit videos already posted just for instances like this to better answer them. 2p Vithu's won't put its own buff on your list but what you can watch is Siphon Blood's duration with and without 2p Vithu's equipped. Regardless of it not being listed as a buff on the skill tab it does get increased duration from the set.
@@MinMaxRPG thx Lida. I didn't test Siphon blood skill, I believe u are right. One thing I did test is the transfusion buff skill, vitho doesn't extend its duration, if you could help to confirm this will be really appreciated.
Grace seems unnecessary with this for farm. Nothing should survive 5 damage instances. Skewer seems better than sanguinity for mobility for kill streaks. If you use weaver, the shroud chest that procs off auto attacks is solid
The set pieces are definitely flexible. Blood Knight builds tend to benefit from a number of them which is nice. Many people also prefer Skewer over Sanguinate that is definitely a variation that becomes more popular by the day.
dude lida, does the awakened on same type of skill actually work? Because on necro, I awakened Stroke of Midnight and Revenant Wind to get double cooldown reduction on wraithform and it does not work, I wasted 20$ on an awakening idea and that shits not a joke in philippine peso. (massive lawsuit incoming jk)
@@3102nzain .... friend, there is a cap to how much you can reduce a cooldown. So if he has cooldowns on his equipment already, adding more awakening isn't going to push it past the cap. I know, because it happened to me.

Will do, ty. Definitely searching for a build to do raids/dungeons atm. Hopefully get all the essences quickly to show it off.
You should note, only the second stage to sanquinate is the dash. The first being just movement speed boost.

Love your videos!
Appreciate the clarification. It's the second stage that gets a lot of people caught in Crusaders condemn as well. Glad you enjoy the videos!

I think that's a great option, the dungeon build I just posted yesterday might be what you had in mind.
Coiled Course: The final strike of the Ravage combo unleashes a wave of energy that deals damage to enemies.
I meant to say off-hand essence but thank you for sharing with everyone.
@@MinMaxRPG Ok bud
Another nice thing about sangunate is that you can activate blood siphon during the sanguanate and it doesn’t kick you out of it.
if you are just not moving it will kick you out. But if your moving while on sanguinate it doesnt cancel. Not sure if it was intended. Also Im not sure if its just visual because I can see that the movement speed buff gets removed.. you will suddenly slow down
This appears to just be a visual bug but I'm not 100% certain and as nzain mentioned for whatever reason you need to be moving.
Hello lida need your confirmation does the helm essence proc bottle hope
Yes it does. It's also extended by Vithu's despite not saying a buff on the skill.
Siphon Blood headpiece essence doesn't indicate it as a buff, when you check the skill, it only states damage so I'm not sure if Vithus can boost it.
If you check the duration of the skill with and without 2p Vithu's you'll see it's affected. That is correct the tooltip doesn't show Buff though.
@@MinMaxRPG It actually works too bad tooltip not showing properly unlike the Solemn Snare (shoulder essence for Swarm of Bats) that indicates it as a buff.
Hello. I see a lot of open world builds, but can you do dungeon/boss build. Does bk has any single target potential or buff build for dungeons?
I'm waiting for a couple essences but definitely plan to cover ST when possible. ST is probably the biggest weakness they have (even more than mobility imo).
I use skewer with leap attack instead of the dash skill and its way more damage and more mobility.especially for lower reso players
Skewer leap does some very good damage. Deceptive from the tooltip imo. Thanks for sharing to help other low reso if they're looking to drop Sanguinate.
what is your socket gem on that gear?
Can you please suggest me a curse property (or properties) for this build?
Atrophied, Lashed, Tortured all good in that order imo.
Fun class, really good job from Blizz. But im back to necro. Best class by far if you are lazy farmer like i am (summons
A lot of people swapped to try it and have reverted. I agree the class was well done and I'm surprised it wasn't more powerful at launch but happy it wasn't.
I been posting since before it launched to run blood skills. Been using wave of blood, siphon blood, swarm of bats and Sanguinate since the beginning.
I have 4 pc Seeds but still going to try this build
Thank you. Great info👍
You're welcome, hope it helps!
I think Swarm of Bats the aura type is actually a one time cast, beneficial duration doesn’t seem to extend the timer at all. The SOB essence that extended by beneficial duration its the one that makes u wraithform. 😅
I use the jump and stun skewer essence instead of sanguinate
Edit: In OW you should really use treasure hunter imo (unless u are capped on mats)
Besalver is a good option as well, Sanguinate is meh to me personally.

I was a monk before BK and animations really pulled done skills down as it affects attack speed and affectively caps it.
I see everybody going after that helm. I find siphon blood being channel is epic. Because the set items that boost channel as well as the 1 star gem that reduces channel consumption really stretches it out.
I like it cause it heals me, plus the health pots that drop almost guaranteed not to die
Yes it’s cool but u move to slow
Im level 153 Paragon BK. How can I get those awesome fire wings btw?
They're unlocked from resonance tiers. The main p2w feature of the game. They have smaller versions which many f2p players have already.
There is a main hand essance for ravage but its not that great compared to other options
Correct, sorry I meant off-hand option. Thanks for clarifying for everybody!
Hi Lida I want to ask there is a free legendary on completed task 3 on crimson plane event but before I can select my app closed. How to get my legendary rewards?
never mind I know now how to find it thanks just to answer the question for others who might experience this in the future its inside inventory miscellaneous tab.
Sorry for the delay and thanks for coming back to answer it for everyone else!
Answer this Lida, what is the damage reduction of BK. Is it like Barb or Necro.
40% or 15%
It has the melee damage reduction of 40%.
I think there’s an essence for ravage that sends like a shockwave after swings.
Haven’t played for ages. How do you have 8 gears rather than 6?
Recent update added a second weapon and off-hand along with a stance change that can be used as a skill every 30 secs.
Is there a bug allowing BKs to make everyone lose the names on screen? It's been happening against certain bks. I'll restart app and it works until someone else uses this esse/skill bug (I'm assuming)
It's just a general bug occurring atm. Believe it was hotfixed haven't seen any talk about it yesterday.

That build actually looks good but i would like to see that sanguinate mobility skill had 2 charges instead of 1
Use skewer leap attack.2 charges.good mobility.awesome damage
Need a good shadow war build
I'm still collecting essences for single target builds unfortunately but will show it soon as I can.
Grace seems unnecessary with this for farm. Nothing should survive 5 damage instances.
Skewer seems better than sanguinity for mobility for kill streaks.

@lida hey it's my farm build 😅😅😅
This was the most popular for a while, some people have swapped to Skewer over Sanguinate and others use Solemn Snare for bats.
@Lida_DI yeah I tried those 2. I don't like it as much
bg is still not balanced you getting destroyed by whales in every match ......
The matches are horribly imbalanced lately.
