I read a bit about blood building on s. perry and I just wanted to get some more info/opinions on it from basil. Whether you blood build or not, I just want to hear opinions on it. Thanks. (won't be back to check this thread for a few hours)

Hm, I haven't seen any Blood Bandits in 2 years. I don't know how necessary a Blood Bandit would be and frankly I never knew anything about the build. But if you managed to make and maintain one: my respect. (If you don't make one too)

shadow shifter makes that pointless, it would be smarter to invest in a few huge DEF equips like zhelm, HTP+++ and the t/r list, if you're lucky... and a luck bandit, which levels up and gets stronger, instead of lose luck, which is even more avoid and attack.

[/quote] Thing is that the real Blood CBs were made long before the Shadower came out so the CBs would be able to bomb let's say Gatekeepers where normal CBs were bombing Gobis. I keep confusing Gatekeepers with Gate Guardians and I'm not that much of a Yu-Gi-Oh fan. o_O"

I saw that on SP too, and while you lose only 10 atk to gain about 1000 HP, I don't really think it's necessary. The only thing it might be useful for is Time Temple, where the mobs hit pretty high. It might let you take another hit, so you don't need to pot every time you take damage. I doubt it would get rid of Shadowers' reliance on HB, which is one of the only reasons I would Blood Build. You'd have to give up at least 20 atk and gain 2k HP for it to be helpful against stuff like BF.

I've never heard of this... just to know, how do you do it? HP equips...?

My friend is a level 150 Blood Shadower His blood build only took away 15% of his damage, which isn't too bad, and gave him about 6.5k hp With meso guard and Hyper body it lets him take somewhere around 20k damage Useful at zak and etc THen again, he chakra trains ._.

The idea of this build is based on the assumption "It's a waste to HP wash on a Shadower", which I emotionally disagree. If you don't want to put effort on building up your character, then you might as well leave it in HT cave as permanent seduce mule and make a new character that's worthwhile to you.

[/quote] SS isn't a guaranteed miss and never will be. First priority at bossing is making sure you have enough hp to be able to take the strongest hit and live. SS makes it less likely for you to get hit, but it's never a guarantee you won't get hit and that's where blood building / hp washing steps in. I'd do a little blood building myself if I still played and was over lvl120.

[quote] shino4 : He got an extra 6.5k hp? So from 3k-ish hp he went up to 9k-ish hp? [/quote] /head desk -_-" Means he got 6.5k hp total now.
