My San'layn Rework Ideas

Classes Death Knight

Hi all,

This is just a idea of how I think they could rework or improve the San’layn tree so it can be in similar strength to Deathbringer.

  1. Vampiric Strike (Talent)
  • Marrowrend & Death Strike now has a 40% chance to change Heart Strike into Vampiric Strike.
  • Vampiric Strike heals you for 0.5% of your health per enemy hit over 2 seconds.
  1. The Blood is Life (Talent) / Blood Beast
  • Blood Beast summon time reduced to 8 seconds.
  • When casting Vampiric Blood you summon a Blood Beast to attack your enemy for 8 seconds
  • Double the damage the Blood Beast does in single target.
  • Increase the Blood Beast spawn rate by at least double when using Vampiric Strike.
  • Blood Beast has a Death and Decay aura.
  1. Incite Terror (Talent)
  • Vampiric Strike and Heart Strike cause your targets to take 1% increase damage from the Player up to 4% for 15 seconds. Vampiric Strike benefits from Incite Terror at 400% effectiveness.
  1. Visceral Strength (Talent)
  • When summoning a Blood Beast you gain 8% Strength and 4% Damage Reduction for 8 seconds.
  1. Sanguine Scent (Talent) REWORKED
  • Your Death Strike and Marrowrend have a 15% increased chance to trigger Vampiric Strike when damaging enemies above 65% health.
  1. Vampiric Aura (Talent) NEW EFFECT
  • When Heart Strike or Vampiric Strike damages an enemy you have a 25% chance to reduce the cooldown of Vampiric Blood by 2 seconds up to a maximum of 6 seconds.

These are obviously some ideas, but I think it would make it a more appealing option.

You have got some interesting ideas, especially around the blood beast. I am not sure about Marrowrend becoming VS, still think that thematically it should be DS. And i am still seeing the potential in Infliction of Sorrow becoming the big bang damage dealing for this build. It’s just need to consume all the Blood Plague debuffs from the target (up to 3 targets with d&d), and with 5 stacks of coagulopathy and consumption we will get a huge Hit every DRW/Gift of the San’layn window.
