Aspect of Potent Blood

Codex of Power Dry Steppes Necromancer Resource

March 24, 2023May 22, 2023daopa1

The Aspect of Potent Blood is a powerful skill available exclusively to Necromancers in Diablo 4. This aspect enhances the Necromancer’s resource management by providing additional Essence and healing capabilities.

The skill’s primary effect is that while the Necromancer is at full Life, Blood Orbs grant 10 Essence. Blood Orbs are a unique Necromancer mechanic that are dropped by enemies when they are killed. These orbs can be picked up by the Necromancer to restore their Essence, which is used to cast many of their abilities.

In addition to providing Essence, the Aspect of Potent Blood also enhances the Necromancer’s survivability by allowing them to heal for 15% of their Maximum Life when they pick up a Blood Orb. This can be a valuable source of sustain, especially in tough fights where the Necromancer may be taking significant damage.

To unlock the Aspect of Potent Blood, players must complete the Betrayer’s Row dungeon in the Dry Steppes region. Once unlocked, Necromancers can equip this powerful skill and take advantage of its unique effects to dominate their enemies and emerge victorious in battle.
