Maybe blood stones should be modded to not give an earth gem anymore. The +E is a nice benefit anyway. Halve the blood slave requirements and you are away to the races.

As for life-drain, surely it could be removed without any super harmful impact.

e.g.
- Wraith Sword could turn you ethereal instead
- Hellsword could have some appropriate hellish effect in addition to the berserk, like maybe a reverse flambeau, x3 damage vs sacred units/angels or some such.
- Blood thorn could be used for dominion push as it was meant to be and +B benefit instead of as freaking main weapons

At minimum Blood thorn needs to be nerfed. It's just embarrassing when a Golem equipped with a knife can tank 300 devils...
