Hey, I'm looking at the various ways to make use of this adv.
Any tips?

My current build is con/dex/something. At first I wanted pre, but the energy pool is pretty bad. Looking at Endurance.

    I use Command Animals on one of my characters who doesn't otherwise have any way of triggering bleeds. I forget at which rank the pets can cause bleeds, but I think it's rank 2.

    This has nothing to do with bleeds. I'm talking about Form of Tempest: Gift of Storm. It heals others by 20% of all healing you receive.

    With the Phlebotomist advantage on DE, you get a bonus on its healing effects when you use it on a bleeding (or poisoned) target. Sorry, I thought you were asking about other ways to work that aspect of the power.

    The amount GotS it heals is not worth the 3 adv points, esp since the interval between procs is too long. I wouldn't build around it- there's more effective ways of splash healing out there.

    Ah, true. I'm using Phlebotomist, yes! I like roots. Bloody roots.. :cool:

    Figured I'd add that functionality to a tank is all. Whenever you're online, I'd like to ask for your help about this thing I've been working on.

    Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.

    I take this quote from a review that I agree with.

    "customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."
