Yea if you mainly play pvp i would let blooddrinker in this build, for pve i would swap i ofc. in my opinion you do good dmg and blooddrinker gives you so much life back, i also play with it and love it. also blooddrinker also give you´re burning and bleed an lifesteal effect. the normal lifesteal perk doesn´t work on dots but blooddrinker does work with dots. what you also should try is to play with calimity counter, there is also a weapon perk where you get stamina on activation. why i like calimity very much is because you can cancel out of every animation and is a very good "oh shit"- button or just quickly use it to get into def stance. for example you are mid heavy swing and a wh wants to stun you so normaly you can do anything about it mid animation but with calimity counter you cancel the animation of your heavy swing and can block it. i could imagine especially with light armor it can safe you a lot of times with a bit of practice. btw wish you good luck with serenity, i´m also still chasing it =D.
thank you for the tips man. i started playing about 2 months ago and found this build was nice so i thought i could share it. ill give calamity a shot.
@@DodgyYeti Especially with the perk for calimity so you generate 20 stam on armor and 50 on gs. i have around 1,7k hours in the game and what i can give as a good advice is to test and play around with diffent abilities and passives. Many build guides are also copy pasta each other and they just asume it´s "the best" but in nw pvp there isn´t such a thing, everything has it´s strength and weakness. By testing you get a deeper understanding for the weapon, and it´s so fast and easy just switch some stats around or use other passives etc. Gs is also a very complex weapon were every combination of abilities can be viable and has a purpose, you just have to find the ones that fit your playstyle. you could also go with 2 def abilities and 1 off. the gs abilities are either to switch stance or give some other benefit (empower, rend,stagger etc) but the highest dps always do in offstance just swinging heavies. that´s why many don´t play with crosscut because it´s "just" dmg and give no other benefit.
well your clip kinda showed what i thought would happen... you just get blown the f up before you have a chance to lifesteal anything lol... also i had to max volume to hear you dude
i admit its not a perfect build and im still learning the game a bit but it works fine for me. i hardly ever die in raids and survive better than most people i run with in dungeons. appreciate the comment.

yeah sorry about that i had issues with audio that i have fixed now. thank you for the feedback. yeah getting blown up happens sometimes.
Dude you have absolutely no survivability it's useless to run that in raids or heroic dungeon
