Siphon Life, so far my experience with it has been mediocre at best, it seems like a weak single target heal with a large end cost for what it heals, as such I'm having a hard time fitting it into my build.
Siphon Life is not a heal power with some damage, it's a damage power with a self heal side effect.
Seriously, Siphon Life is the second hardest hitting attack in Dark Melee, only Midnight Grasp deals more damage.
Take it and slot it as an attack. With Dark Regeneration you won't need Siphon Life to heal you that much, but having it in your attack chain will help keep your HP topped up and let you save Dark Regen for when you really need it.
It really is THAT good. Looking at it as a weak single target heal is VASTLY underestimating the power. You should take it for the damage it deals, not the damage it heals.
