Sanguimancy

The Bloodmage Ascendancy requires players to spend both life and mana to cast spells. However, this high cost is offset by the ability to recover life from slain enemies, who drop life remnants upon death.

Crimson Power

The Crimson Power notable allows players to use Energy Shield body armor to gain significant bonus life. However, this comes at the cost of losing access to Evasion or Armor from that specific piece of armor, forcing players to rely more on Energy Shield and Life for mitigation. Hybrid body armors that combine Energy Shield with Evasion or Armor can help mitigate this limitation at the cost of Hitpoints.

Gore Spike

The Gorespike notable offers a significant boost to critical strike damage for characters with high life pools. By leveraging this mechanic, players can create powerful builds that scale damage through increased life.

Summary

The Bloodmage Ascendancy is a powerful class that leverages life and energy manipulation to deal significant damage and sustain itself. By stacking life and leveraging defenses, Bloodmages can create powerful and durable builds.
