Skills:

Level 1
Clot
Every damaging ability you use on an enemy creates a stack of clot, increasing the damage of your abilities. Max 5 stacks of clot, some skills will take up clot. Upon reaching 5 stacks of clot, your next ability will deal 50 extra damage.

SiphonBlood

This ability is channeled. As soon as it goes off on a target, you will be slowed for 2 seconds, while draining health per second and gaining mana and stamina after the channel.

Level: 15
BoilBlood -
Mana: 130 Stamina: 0 Cooldown: 14 Warmup: 2 Reagent: None
Description: After 2 seconds, all enemies within a 7 block range have their blood gradually heated up - after 10 seconds, their blood boils, dealing 100 damage + 25 per clot.

Drain -
Mana: 100 Stamina: Cooldown: 20 Warmup: 1 Reagent: None
Description: Your next autoattack will remove 15 constitution from your enemy for 15 seconds.

Level: 65
Bloodrush -
Mana: 350 Stamina: 500 Cooldown: 90 Warmup: 3 Reagent: 100 hp
Description: Your blood quickens and you gain an overload of energy, granting you speed II for 8 seconds. After the 8 seconds, you are slowed and granted nausea for 5 (minus the amount of Clot stacks you have) seconds.

These are my thoughts for Bloodmage. Please leave comments below regarding your opinions.

Thanks,

A stun is very strong, especially on a decent cooldown like 15s. Imo with all the other skills it has enough. I would either suggest a few possible options for this skill.
  • Get rid of the stun all together but give them slow 3 for 3 seconds
  • Keep it the way it is but reduce the stun to 0.5s
  • Keep it the way it is but make it cost clot-instead of gaining it
  • Increase the cooldown to 25s or more

Shouldn't the cooldown for Transfuse be a lot less? Bloodmage runs out of mana very quickly at the moment. Or will SiphonBlood's mana gain alleviate the constant need for Transfuses?

yeah, getting 1/10th of your mana every 25 seconds for 1/10th of your health doesn't seem that great, should stay the way it is if it were to stay.

Sorry, that should be different. I copied and pasted this thing from another rework i made and forgot to adjust some things. What should it be?
EDIT: Changed

What do you think about the rest of it? Self heals could easily be included, I just want to know how people feel about the general idea.
I'd love the idea of skills like BoneShield, Transplant, BloodBurst, etc. I also think using a bone would be awesome. I think some of the health reagents could be lowered (or removed), as it seems the user's own skills will do as much if not more damage than the enemy.

I feel like making bloodbond a passive and giving is 50% effectiveness is a good idea, as an active it is just too greedy and means you can only use skills for a short period of time at the beginning of a fight. Some actual damage skills are nice, however like Babomba said, self healing needs attention.
Edit: I thoroughly enjoy the thought of dealing damage and giving worthwhile heals.

I feel BloodRitual should be added in for your rework, unless you're going for more of a Mage-like class without heals (excluding SiphonBlood's life steal).
