    Blood and Sand

    Blood and Sand reserves mana to activate Blood Stance and Sand Stance. In Sand Stance, you have more area of effect, but less area damage. In Blood Stance, you have more area damage, but less area of effect. Activating the skill while it's toggled on will alternate between stances. Certain skills also behave differently based on the stance you are currently on.

    Skill functions and interactions

    Stance setting is shared with Flesh and Stone and toggling one will toggle both.

    The gem max level is 6. Thus, not able to use the CurrencyGemQualityGemcutter's Prism vendor recipe on this gem to obtain level 1 20% quality Blood and Sand.
