The Dreadstalker
The Dreadstalker feeds on fear and betrayal.
Make friends, then feed their souls to the Ebony Blade to empower it. Make enemies, then trap their souls and bind them to your gear.
This build focuses on fearing enemies and chasing them down with a two-handed weapon. I chose the Ebony Blade because it fits the theme, and the Steed Stone negates the Heavy Armor movement penalty. For an added challenge, heal only using the Ebony Blade's drain health effect.
