Power of Blood tree

This talent tree is only available through the Warden's Keep downloadable content.

Blood Thirst

Sustained

The warriors own tainted blood spills in sacrifice, increasing movement speed, attack speed and critical hit-chance. For as long as this mode is active, however, the warrior suffers greater damage and continuously diminishing health.

Blood Fury

Activated Activation: 35

The warrior sprays tainted blood in order to knock back nearby enemies, which they may resist by passing a physical resistance check. The gush of blood, however, results in a loss of personal health.
