Build Comment: I was inspired to make this build by @torrenz’s thread from earlier today, “Is there enough vit/bleed support?” as I had made a poor performing Vitality Blade Arc build years and years ago before this DDD Build thread was but a gleam in my eye. I knew right off the 
(pun intended 
) I would use the Guardian of Death’s Gates with the Blood Knight and Wanton Carnage Sets to get a decent start. After that I fleshed out the rest of the build and was surprisingly able to get some very nice overcaps on several Soldier skills to pump up that damage! 
Hitting those overcaps was very, very exciting despite just being below max on Field Command and Squad Tactics. The kicker is that this build uses only Legendary and Epic items that can be farmed - no greens or MIs gives this build extra points in the creation coolness factor! 
Overall, this build is easy to play with tons of ADCtH and only a few active buttons. Damage is very respectable and the healing is off the charts. The only caveat is that there can sometimes be an energy issue with some enemies, but the Soul Shard should cover the Energy Drain and should get a fair amount of Energy back with the decent 40% Energy Absorption.
Fashion Dawn was very easy to slap together by starting with the Legion Warblade (a very basic and simple favorite of mine) with the Potent Ravager’s Harvest Augment to give it a slight Vitality /Bleeding effect. After that, going no shoulders to get a sleek Vampire Knight look combined with the Visor and Chestguard from the Warborn Bastion Set really completed the Fashion. Simple, yet effective! Wooo!
