Life Drain + Command
A commanding spirit pact that drains enemy life to sustain allies and weakens foes before overwhelming them. Preludes 15 (Garren Rood): Virtue is free per loadout (no Virtue Lith). Review Pact Arts renames before respeccing.
Garren Rood was rated C in Alcast P10 — Stampede nearly useless, Herdheart referenced outdated mechanics. The P11 video confirmed Stampede deals 1 damage per hit against high-armor targets. P15 partially fixed Stampede as AoE clear, but Torment+Behest percentage-health damage was also nerfed. Grace stream remains strong (OrbisNull S — glass cannon that can削 Boss 50% HP on opener), but Courage and Spirit are merely A/A−. The site's downgrade from A to B (#20) reflects overall kit inconsistency.
Community ratings per Courage / Grace / Spirit route — does not change the overall pact tier badge above.
Balanced opener burst; Stampede weak vs high armor.
Torment enjoys stealth bonus; glass-cannon opener burst.
Percent damage below Courage; full stagger bar helps staff burst.
