↖ Vampiric Powers

Before delving into the core build, let's look at the Vampiric Powers that complement the Ring of Mendeln Summoner Necromancer for Season 2.

• Accursed Touch: This ability applies Vampiric Curse on lucky hits and significantly boosts damage dealt by the Accursed Souls.
• Metamorphosis: Ideal for Nightmare dungeons and Uber bosses, Metamorphosis ensures consistent application of Vampiric Curse and grants the "Unstoppable" buff.
• Coven Fangs: Suitable for Nightmare dungeons, especially with the Grasping Veins aspect. The crowd control and damage make it a solid choice.
• Feed the Coven: Vital for this build, it grants your minions a chance to restore primary resource and a damage increase. This compensates for the removal of the old Shadow Blight's damage bonus to minions.
• Prey on the Weak: This damage modifier boosts your damage against vulnerable enemies. It's a valuable addition to the build.
