.. and I couldn't be happier. One step closer to bloodmagehood. @ZOS_Kevin thanks for this. And my arm won't fall off as hard as before, less weaving reliance is always a good thing.

    Yet who has the Blood Magic passive?

    Who?
    Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?
    Vivec: Worse, buddy. They're buying it.

    Honestly, take it. It fits NB better anyway.

    Convert all our Magic damage to Shock/Physical already :(

    In a way isn't Blood Magic more evil then Necromancy, using the living to power your spells instead of using the dead, the dead are already dead, sure your desecrating their remains but its unlikely they feel anything but with Blood Magic, well I imagine the people whose life your siphoning feel everything.

    Also Vampires can use Blood Magic, why are there skills specifically "Criminal" and why are they cheaper to cast, shouldn't NBs who use the exact same magic's also benefit from cheaper skills, it would be cool of your class would effect your Vampirism.

    NBs would have no increased class skill cost due to using the same style of magic
    DK Vampires could suffer no weakness to Fire
    Arcanist Vampires would generate crux from Vampire skills
    Templar Vampires would not take any extra damage from things that deal extra damage to undead
    Necromancer Vampires would apply life steal to their damaging class skills
    Warden Vampires would summon a Vampiric Bear that would deal additional Bleed Damage
    Sorcerer Vampires would have even cheaper Vampire skills

    True and as much as I'd love some kind of Vampirism rework and NB & Vampire specific stuff, it will probably never happen. :/

    @ZOS_Kevin Wish we could make some use of Mark Target, it's not even niche. Caltrops & Elemental Drain just rule over everything nowadays. Make it so that the Mark automatically transfers to the nearest enemy after you kill the first one, this keeps the whole assassination style of NB.
