If you’ve already got Kessime’s Legacy and want to make Blood Wave your main weapon, this build is your dream come true. We’re turning Blood Wave into an Ultimate nuke on a short cooldown—triple-wave death machines that wipe screens and stack ridiculous bonus damage.
🩸 What Makes This Build Tick?
-
Blood Wave becomes your main attack thanks to CDR and cooldown reset tricks.
-
Kessime’s Legacy adds 2 extra waves and bonus damage stacking.
-
Great for mob-clearing, elites, and even bosses with enough Corpse synergy.
This isn’t a tanky build. It’s pure AoE flex. Spam Blood Wave. Watch everything fall.
| Skill | Use |
|---|---|
| Blood Wave (Ultimate) | The star of the show. Hits 3 times with Kessime’s Legacy. |
| Blood Mist | Makes you immune, generates corpses, and resets cooldowns. |
| Corpse Tendrils | Pulls enemies into your waves and applies Vulnerable. |
| Decrepify | Reduces cooldowns and slows enemies for safety. |
| Hewed Flesh | Corpse generation from damage—keep the engine running. |
| Reap or Blood Surge | Optional Essence builder if needed (you won’t use it much). |

| Vampiric Power | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Metamorphosis | Turns Blood Mist into a movement & immunity tool |
| Domination | More damage to healthy enemies (Blood Wave opener) |
| Hectic | Reduces cooldowns every time you use a basic skill |

🎮 How to Play It (Loop Breakdown)
-
Open with Corpse Tendrils to clump and apply Vulnerable.
-
Drop Decrepify for slow + cooldown boost.
-
Cast Blood Wave – 3 hits of death.
-
Pop Blood Mist to reset cooldowns and generate corpses.
-
Repeat. Spam Blood Wave every few seconds.
You’ll be casting Blood Wave every 3–6 seconds when fully optimized. Stack those waves, and enemies just… vanish.
⚡ Pro Tips
-
Use Cool Down Reduction gear rolls everywhere: amulet, boots, gloves.
-
Consider swapping into Blood Artisan’s Cuirass if you want orb sustain + tankiness.
-
Time Tendrils just before Blood Wave for max Crit/Vuln bonuses.
🎯 Great In:
-
Nightmare Dungeons (excellent mob clear)
-
Helltides (fast loot runs)
-
Legion Events
-
Open World XP farming
-
Decent in bosses with Tendrils setup
